Data Loader Update is the process of Updating the field in Salesforce Object by using Data Loader. We can Update any field in the Object. In this training tutorial we are going to update Fee paid field in Student Black Record.

In our previous article we have inserted 5 records in Studentinfo__c . In that object we have inserted Student Black record through Data Loader. In Student Black Record we are having fields like Studentinfo Name, Course__c,Feepaid__c, Subject1__c, Subjetc2__c, Subject3__c. 

Now we are going update Fee paid__c field in Student Black record. Previously the field value is as below

Select Update in Data Loader.

Now select Studentinfo__c Object name then browse for the Data Loader Update CSV file and click Next.

Mapping : Here we have to map the field with studentinfo__c object. In CSV file we just created Fee and id name as Column Header but in Studentinfo__c object column header names are different with CSV file column header. Map column header names with each other . Drag and Drop as shown below.

Click Next.

Now Select OK.

We have chosen to Update the existing records. Select Yes Button.
