Short answer is that you can’t. The problem is that the old plugin you used stored multiple values in multiple rows and ACF stores these types of values in a serialized array in a single DB entry. You will need to convert the value.
My suggestion would be to create a new field name for ACF, but how you proceed from there depends on what type of field you set up in ACF. What is the field type of the field you’re trying to use?

ACF wouldn’t be so widely used in WordPress if it didn’t have some pretty amazing capabilities. In this article, we look at a few of the features we’ll discuss during “7 things you didn’t know you could do with ACF” at #WPEDecode later this month. https://t.co/5lnsTxp81j pic.twitter.com/Yf0ThPG1QG
