Simple VS Variable Products
Importing Products means 3 options:
1) Simple Products with NO Atrributes - 1 product (defined by unique title) per Excel row. Only one needed in the excel file.
2) Simple Products with Atrributes (eg color) NO Variations - 1 Row per product Attribute (title of product is the same) for Each Attribute. You need to click the checkbox "Create only attributes" while data mapping.
3) Variable Products with Atrributes (eg color) - 1 Row per product variation (title of product is the same) for Each Variation. You dont't click the checkbox "Create only attributes" while data mapping.
4)Variable Products with Attributes (eg color,size) comma separated from Only 1 excel row. This means the variations share the same meta data such as prices, sku, stock, dimensions, images etc .Click the checkbox "Add Variable product from 1 row with attrributes comma separated" while data mapping.
Simple Products with Attributes
Now, you can import Simple Products with multiple attributes, comma separated. This mean you need only one row for each product, one cell for each attribute, with the values comma separated. Prerequisite for this is to tick the box Create Attributes (if Any) ONLY, Not Variations

How to automap excel columns with product fields?
Excel first row labels should match the product fields naming convention provided by WordPress & WooCommerce. You may find sample of excel file in plugin settings page. Then you can just click automapping checkbox in the mapping screen.
I automapped but I prefer to do manually. How to?
You can always uncheck the automapping checkbox if you previously checked it - by default it is disabled
Automapping maps excel columns that I do not want to map
Correct, it works this way checking on the Label Name in your excel file. You can either remove columns you do not want to map or rename those unsuded columns to naming different than WordPress - WooCommerce naming convention.
