Assuming that both columns are unsigned and you’re importing into an asset account use Amount for the debit column and Amount (Negated) for the credit column. If you’re importing into a liability account (e.g. credit card) then you may need to flip that depending on your choice for reverse-balance accounts in Preferences>Accounts. If it comes in backwards, meaning that an amount you intend as a debit imports as a credit then reverse the column types.
