Generally this means there is some problem with your numeric entries.
Check all your 'T', '$', etc columns.  Most likely the issue is a
malformed number, or a blank number, or even one with a currency
symbol.  This error can also happen if there are inconsistencies in
formats, e.g. if you have 1,000.00 and 1.000,00 in the same data file.
