Answer 1

i have figure out the solution to import without ID column Here is code , Take a Look

    if request.method == 'POST':
    queryset = Client.objects.filter(company=company)
    company = Company.objects.get(id=company)
    person_resource = ClientResource()
    dataset = Dataset()
    new_persons = request.FILES['myfile']
    imported_data = dataset.load(new_persons.read().decode('utf-8'), format='csv')
    try:
        for row in dataset:
            client = Client()
            client.company = company
            client.title = row[0]
            client.first_name = row[1]
            client.last_name = row[2]
            client.email = row[3]
            client.position = row[4]
            client.company_name = row[5]
            client.vat_number = row[6]
            client.website = row[7]
            client.address = row[8]
            client.city = row[9]
            client.state = row[10]
            client.zip = row[11]
            client.country = row[12]
            client.phone = row[13]
            client.fax = row[14]
            client.notes = row[15]
            client.save()

    except Client.DoesNotExist:
        raise Http404("There is a Problem with The CSV")

return render(request, 'import.html')

And my Resource Looks Like this

class ClientResource(resources.ModelResource):
company = fields.Field(
    column_name='company',
    attribute='company',
    widget=ForeignKeyWidget(Company, 'name'))

class Meta:
    model = Client
    skip_unchanged = True
    report_skipped = True
    exclude = ('id', 'company', 'status', 'modified', 'created')
    import_id_fields = ['email']
