Inconsistent number of columns
Rows have fewer or more columns than expected.
Often caused by missing values or unquoted delimiters inside a field.

How it works
We detect encoding first, then find a stable delimiter, then parse rows strictly.
The report stops at the first error that prevents a clean import.
CSV import error types
Extra data after last expected column
A trailing delimiter or extra separator adds columns after the expected end.
Common in exports with free-text fields like notes or descriptions.
Invalid delimiter
Different separators are used across rows (comma vs. semicolon).
Mixed delimiters shift column boundaries and break parsing.
Invalid quote
Quoted fields are not closed or contain quotes in unquoted data.
This is common in multiline comments or text with quotes.
Invalid UTF-8 encoding
The file is UTF-16, Windows-1252, or UTF-8 with BOM.
Convert to UTF-8 without BOM for strict importers.
