[GNC] Import question

[Nicolas de La Chaise]

Good evening all,

Apologies for wasting everyone's time and thanks again for those who 
responded.
After looking at the csv import dialog with a fresh head, I realise I 
had both comma AND semicolon ticked as separators. The software was 
doing exactly as instructed to do.
Another instance of "problem between chair and keyboard".

Now I'm going to find a deep hole to bury myself in...

Regards,
Nicolas
