# DataMerger can not merge sensor data with xs data
Make sure you read and apply the given DataMerger instructions (opens new window).
Ensure that the form names in the movisensXS results are unique for each trigger counter. In the movisensXS Excel file, the "Form" column must contain distinct values for every trigger counter, meaning no form name should repeat within the same trigger. If the form names are not unique, DataMerger will generate an error. For instance, the table below would cause an issue because the form name 'VAS' appears twice under the same trigger count:
| Participant | Trigger | Trigger_date | Trigger_time | Trigger_counter | Form |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | Button Pressed: Start | 2024-04-18 | 12:59:01 | 1 | VAS |
| 48 | Button Pressed: Start | 2024-04-18 | 12:59:01 | 1 | BAT |
| 48 | Button Pressed: Start | 2024-04-18 | 12:59:01 | 1 | VAS |
DataMerger will proceed successfully if the movisensXS result file matches the format shown in the table below, where each form name is unique for every trigger counter:
| Participant | Trigger | Trigger_date | Trigger_time | Trigger_counter | Form |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 | Button Pressed: Start | 2024-04-18 | 12:59:01 | 1 | VAS |
| 48 | Button Pressed: Start | 2024-04-18 | 12:59:01 | 1 | BAT |
| 48 | Button Pressed: Start | 2024-04-18 | 12:59:01 | 2 | VAS |
