Most CSV import failures are not mysterious: a field contains an unescaped quote, a row has an extra comma, or a row was split across lines without proper quoting. Browser viewers surface these issues as misaligned columns or obvious garbage in cells.
Quick fixes
- Toggle filters on suspect columns to find odd lengths or empty headers.
- Sort by an ID column to see duplicated or out-of-order keys from partial loads.
- Re-export from the source system with RFC 4180-style quoting if manual repair is too risky.
Fix upstream when possible; patch in-grid only for bounded, audited corrections.
