<field> is an invalid float

ERROR WARNING:

HOW TO RESOLVE:

Use the template's second header row to view data type requirements and replace erroneous data in flagged field based on the field's listed requirements. Non-numeric entries are typically the source of this error.

Example: The "Latitude" field in the stationary acoustic template accepts float data. Non-numeric entries, e.g. a string value, or numbers with incorrect characters like a comma.

If the "|" pipe symbol at the start of header row gets accidentally removed, those rows will no longer be treated as headers and instead will be read in as data rows. This results in categorical or data type errors like, "<field> is an invalid float". Simply make sure a pipe symbol "|" is included at the start of each header row and re-upload your csv to the Partner Portal.

ADDED EXPLANATION:

Each field in the template requires a particular data type (text, integer, decimal, date-time, or true/false) or a controlled categorical response. Values that don't match these requirements will be rejected. In a spreadsheet, adjust cell formats or use find/replace to convert values—for example, changing numbers stored as text into actual numbers, converting decimals to integers, or trimming time-zone suffixes from date-time strings. For widespread issues in non-required fields, consider omitting the column entirely and re-uploading.
