ERROR WARNING:

<field> is an invalid integer

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. Adjust cell formats or use find/replace to convert values to the correct type.


Example: The "GRTS Cell Id" field in the stationary acoustic template accepts integer data. Non-integer data (e.g., string values or floats - numbers with decimals like 1.5) entered into this column will result in an error warning.

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 integer". 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 (e.g., text, integer, string, date-time, or true/false) or a controlled categorical response. Values that don't match these data type requirements will be rejected. In a spreadsheet application, resolve by adjusting cell formats. Examples include, changing numbers stored as text into integer format, 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.
