3. Troubleshooting:

I cannot import my data file. How can I solve it?

Most issues related to importing a data file are due to its format. We recommend using a .csv file and following the format of this example file.

Note that decimal numbers are indicated with a “.” and separators can be indicated either with “;” or “,” but not both.

Even after changing the format, the data file still retains some errors in certain cases. To fix this, copy the data and paste it into a new file using the ‘Values’ feature under the ‘Paste Options’.

If the issue persists, it may be due to an encoding issue on your system. To fix this problem in Windows, go to “Settings”, “Time & Language”, “Language”, and click on “Administrative language settings”. A new window will open; click on “Change System Locale”. Ensure that the box “Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support” is checked.
