What the membership database template contains
| Column | Example | Why keep it |
|---|---|---|
| Membership reference | EX-M001 | Identifies this membership independently of the person. |
| Person reference | EX-P001 | Connects two memberships held by the same person without relying on email. |
| First and last name | Alex Morgan | Keeps names in usable fields rather than one combined value. |
| alex.morgan@example.invalid | Provides a contact address without treating it as permanent identity. | |
| Member number | 000042 | Preserves the number members and staff already use, including leading zeroes. |
| Branch and grade | GLA / MEMBER | Separates organisational scope from membership type. |
| Joined on | 2025-03-14 | Uses an unambiguous YYYY-MM-DD date. |
| Status | active | Distinguishes active, pending, grace, lapsed and other states. |
Use it without damaging your source data
- Keep a dated, read-only copy of the original register.
- Replace every fictional row while preserving the header names.
- Format member numbers and references as text so Excel retains leading zeroes.
- Give each person and membership a stable source reference. Do not generate new references on every export.
- Save a CSV UTF-8 copy for import and reconcile imported, existing and unresolved rows to the source total.
The workbook is a preparation tool, not a complete security or retention system. Decide who can access it, where approved copies live and when working files should be removed.
Three rows that test common cases
The worked file includes two active members and one pending membership without an email address. Member numbers keep their leading zeroes. The three rows share one branch and grade so you can test a simple mapping before introducing a more complicated structure.
