# ImportDefinitionColumnBasedAction

An object that contains multiple value and action pairs that determine the action to take in a column depending on the value in a field. For example, you can set this object to skip and not add a value of A, delete a value of B, and update a value of C.

| `Action` | [ImportDefinitionColumnBasedActionType](/docs/marketing/marketing-cloud/guide/importdefinitioncolumnbasedactiontype.md) object | Defines the action to take for the specified object. Valid values include:<ul><li>CREATE</li><li>DELETE</li><li>UPDATE</li></ul>                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| `Value`  | String                                                                                                                         | Defines the value to use in a filter or other object. In filters, the `BETWEEN` operator requires two values. The `IN` operator can handle multiple values. All other operators require only one value. If the value is `isNull` or `isNotNull`, the API ignores any supplied values and doesn't return an error. |
