I’m getting an error Invalid File Content or Configuration.

The file is super simple because I’m using it to trouble shoot.

10;20-121;Cylinder;1;1;None

I have the delimiter set to ;

Any ideas what is happening with this?

Thank you

Patrick

I solved it.  There is something strange with Excel’s use of the ; when you have the decimal set to ,.  This is a “trick” in Excel to make it output a CSV with a semi-colon.  There is something weird with the semicolon that is used.  If I go into Notepad and replace the ; with a ; it works fine.
