What you'll see (and what you won't)

You won't get an error. The file imports or opens “successfully,” but the result isn't what you expected — which is exactly why this slips through unnoticed.

Why it happens

A value in the wrong format, a blank where the system expected a number, or a column the software quietly ignored — small things that don't trip an error but change the outcome.

How to check

Upload the file above. The tool reads what's actually in it — not what you meant — so you can see the mismatch before it reaches your store or your report.
