Issue with the data import

Hi There,
I am beginer in SDFC. I am following force.com Fundamentals to build a recruiting app.
While importing records from position.csv to the object 'position', I get a warning message-Hiring Manager: 12 values: id value of incorrect type: Manish Anand
where Hiring Manager is the lookup field on 'Position' object, picking value from 'User'  (Standard object).I am not sure, what I am missing.
I copied the Hiring Manager column of all the records (each has value as Manish Anand) from CSV to notepad and looked for unformatted text,
but everything seems to be ok, there.

For your manager Id are you using the 15/18 character unique identifier?  You need to use that instead of the name.

1. Create a new report type for the user object and add the field called "ID" to this report type
2. pull out a report with all users along with their IDs
3. Map the users IDs to the respective names in your CSV and then Upload it!

Hope this Helps!!
Cheers!
