The "requirements" message really meant to convey you should either select an "Amount" or 
an "Amount (negated)" column, but I understand from your reaction it's poorly formulated. It 
tried to squeeze both names in one phrase using brackets to mark negated as optional. But 
as the brackets are also used in the real column type name, this is ambiguous.

So in your case, if you originally had selected a "Deposit" column, you will now want to set 
that column to "Amount" instead. Sorry for the confusino.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean here. Can you explain this in a bit more 
detail ? What page of the assistant are you looking at, and what were you expecting to find 
vs what is there now ? You could also attach screenshots (with sensitive data removed or 
blurred) if that makes it easier to explain.
