Need to import Excel spreadsheet into ONE document

Couchbase Server
1

I’ve been given an odd requirement to store an Excel spreadsheet in one JSON document within Couchbase. cbimport is saying that my document is not valid JSON, when it is, so I believe something else is wrong.

My document goes along the style of this:

[{ "sets": [
   {
      "cluster" : "M1M",
      "type" : "SET",
      "shortName" : "MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS",
      "clusterName" : "MARTIN MARIETTA",
      "setNum" : "10000163"
   },
   {
      "shortName" : "STERLING INC",
      "type" : "SET",
      "cluster" : "SJW",
      "setNum" : "10001427",
      "clusterName" : "STERLING JEWELERS"
   },
   ...
]}]

And my cbimport command looks like this:

cbimport json --cluster localhost --bucket documentBucket \
--dataset file://set_numbers.json --username Administrator \
--password password --format lines -e errors.log -l debug.log \
--generate-key 1

I’ve tried to format as lines as well as list. Both fail. What am I doing wrong?

Ah, I need to specify list instead of lines! It works now.
