Upload Census:

Copy and paste census data from another source onto the census template spreadsheet. Or enter the values in each column. Choose the correct value option from the pull-down menu. To create a quick quote without entering the required fields (highlight in yellow on the spreadsheet), you can enter the age and choose the gender on the spreadsheet. Or, you can enter all of the required fields on the spreadsheet. Use the Data Entry Guide to obtain instructions on topics such as which fields are required for uploading. Save the completed spreadsheet on your computer.
