I'm trying to bulk upload members to Microsoft Teams by following a tutorial. Everything seems fine until I run the command: `Import-csv -Path "PATH" | Foreach{Add-TeamUser -GroupId "THE ID" -User $_.email -Role $_.role}`. However, I encounter the error: `Add-TeamUser : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'User' because it is null`. I'm guessing there might be something wrong with my CSV file. It only has two columns: "email" and "role", just like in the tutorial. I'm looking for guidance on what I might be doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you're using Excel to create your CSV, it might be saving with a different delimiter based on your local settings. For instance, my Italian version of Excel saved CSVs with a semicolon instead of a comma. That could totally be the issue here!
Here's a tip: instead of piping directly to `Foreach`, try saving the results of your `Import-Csv` to a variable. You can loop through it in your IDE and inspect it line by line. This way, you can check if the email property has the correct value. You'll quickly see where the problem lies.
Thanks man, because of this I was able to pinpoint the error.
This is a classic case where using a variable for your import helps debug easily. You can validate inputs and results step by step instead of processing everything at once. For bulk actions, it's super important to ensure you're on point with your data.
Glad you found your issue! If you find dealing with CSV imports annoying, I discovered a cool way using `Get-Clipboard`. Just copy the table (headers included) and try this: `$mycsv = Get-Clipboard | ConvertFrom-Csv -Delimiter "`t"`. This can save you a ton of time!
Thank you!!!
I figured it out! My system was saving the CSV with semicolons instead of commas for column separation. Once I fixed that, the command ran perfectly. Thanks a bunch for helping me avoid 3 hours of manual work!
Yup, this is precisely what happened.
