How do I change Units to be sold to yardage to be sold & list variations for different color fabric?

[Quiltnut8]

I am trying to import my inventory from another website. I am receiving error messages.

Automatically update variation details

All variations of an item must have the same item name, category, and description. Automatically apply the name, category, and description from the first row of the item to remaining rows of the same item. Skip to update manually in your file. Learn more

Description This affects item(s) in your file

It will not allow me to list my fabrics to be sold by the increment yardage. I need to be able to sell my existing fabrics BY THE YARD. Which column am I supposed to used to make every fabric item sell as yards or increments of yards, example: .125, .25, .325, .5, .625, .75, .875, 1, and how is it supposed to be listed? I have matched all my columns to what is in the spread sheet. But it will not allow me to upload my items.

Also, I have edited all my columns to match Square's spread sheet. However, I am not understanding how to use Variations for my fabrics. There are many different styles or patterns used in each line of fabric. Not to mention different colors.
