    Hi!

    Thank you for sending details and a sample file.  I can confirm that I was able to import the file into Scale without any issue and without having to make any changes.  I also checked if the file format/structure was valid using this site: CSV Validator & Linter

    I don't know why exactly this is happening - perhaps there is something odd going on with your version of the file with some hidden characters.  I would try creating a new file from scratch with the minimum of information in each field.

    Let me know if it works or not?

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to check my file and provide feedback!
By some miracle, I tried uploading the file again, and it was successfully imported this time. I’m not entirely sure what changed, but I really appreciate your guidance and suggestions.

Thanks again for your help!
