Hello All,

Creating bulk site collections very normal use case, Please find the below PS Script to create multiple site collections from your CSV file.

Try {
#Get Site Collections to create from a CSV file
$SiteCollections = Import-Csv -Path $CSVPath

#Loop through csv and create site collections from each row
ForEach ($Site in $SiteCollections)
{
#Get Parameters from CSV

$Title = $Site.Title
$Url = $Site.Url
$Owner =$Site.Owner
$Template = $Site.Template

$TimeZone = $Site.TimeZone

#Check if site exists already
$SiteExists = Get-PnPTenantSite | Where {$_.Url -eq $URL}
If ($SiteExists -eq $null)

I get an error:

Creating Site Collection:
Error: Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Url' because it is null.

 

My headers in the csv are: Title;Url;Owner;Template;StorageQuota;Timezone

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
