Emmanuel Katto Dubai : How to Automatically Assign People After Importing a To-Do List to Monday.com?

Hi everyone, I’m Emmanuel Katto from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) fairly new to Monday.com and could use some help.

During our meetings, we use an Excel to-do list that we import daily into a Monday board. The Excel file includes an “Action Owner” column, but it only transfers to Monday as a text column.

Is there a way to convert the names from this text column into a People column automatically, so assignments are set correctly? Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Regards
Emmanuel Katto
