Import failed. Error: Error converting data type nvarchar to float.

Hi There,

I'm having the above error when uploading a standard purchase order by using the template. There isn't any comma nor other punctuation symbols in the file & my date format is yyyy/mm/dd. Has anyone encountered such error and what was the way to move forward with the upload?

Thanks for your reply

To move forward, you will need to find where you have some text data in your input file in a location where numeric data is expected. Unfortunately the error message you're seeing probably doesn't give a very specific indication of where the problematic data is, but you can trust the error as being a reliable indication that there is problematic data there somewhere.
