Finding Invoice Type "?" / CSV Import Help

[Benjamin Soffer (SLF)]

Geert,

 

Thank you for offering to inspect the subject data file.  The data file is for a law firm and therefore, in some instances, it reflects confidential client information which may not be revealed.  However, I could send you a sanitized version, stripped of all data except for the messed up records and a few others.  Would that be sufficient?

 

Regards,

 

Benjamin Soffer

This is a very odd situation. I have no idea either how you got into it.

 

I am very curious to learn some more about it though. Would you be willing to send me a copy of your data file in private for further investigation and hopefully finding a fix ? I will treat it as sensitive data of course.
