There are several reasons why your CSV import might fail. Here are the most common issues and how to resolve them:

  1. Invalid Data Format:

    • Ensure your CSV file follows the correct format. Each line should have the same number of fields, and commas should separate fields.

    • Check for any stray characters, extra commas, or line breaks within fields that might disrupt the file's structure.

  2. Data Type Mismatches:

    • Verify that the data types in your CSV file match the expected types in your system. For example, ensure that date fields are in the correct format (YYYY-MM-DD) and numeric fields do not contain any non-numeric characters.

  3. Special Characters:

    • Remove any special characters that might not be supported by your system. This includes symbols, emojis, and non-standard punctuation marks.

  4. Incorrect Encoding:

    • Encodings can cause special characters to be misinterpreted, leading to import failures.
