You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK

Hi

Just try to re do the merge profiles ie select the data source again and set up as before see it that works.

I've had this a few times, not too sure why it happens. The way I got around it was by saving the excel file as a different name and it managed to clear the error and run the merge. Its worth a try if you haven't got any other options.
