What is your RQM and RQMExcelImporter version?

What do you mean by "it did not work"? no custom attributes named Requirement got created?

According to the doc, the valid syntax would be like

//Directly specifying attribute’s parameter in config file                       
testcase.customAttributes identifier="Custom_attribute_0".name=" Custom attribute 0".type="MEDIUM_STRING".value=O

 //Order of parameter is not relevant (v602 onward)                       
testcase.customAttributes name=" Custom attribute 0".type="MEDIUM_STRING". identifier="Custom_attribute_0".value=O

So in your case, you would need to specify value as it is mandatory as per the doc.
