title: Importing data from Excel sheet to DynamoDB table
body: <p>I am having a problem importing data from Excel sheet to a Amazon DynamoDB table. I have the Excel sheet in an Amazon S3 bucket and I want to import data from this sheet to a table in DynamoDB.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I am following <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/datapipeline/latest/DeveloperGuide/dp-importexport-ddb.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Import and Export DynamoDB Data Using AWS Data Pipeline</a> but my pipeline is not working normally.</p>
  
  <p>It gives me <code>WAITING_FOR_RUNNER</code> status and after sometime the status changed to <code>CANCELED</code>. Please suggest what I am doing wrong or is there any other way to import data from an Excel sheet to a DynamoDB table?</p>
