EAS Upload error message

If you open a csv file in Excel (which instinctively I often do) it can mess with the format even if you keep it in csv - might be worth opening it in Notepad to check the headers?

Thank you Timmo, yes ive checked it in notepad and it does seem sporadic but when i change it back to CSV the headings are as they should be and this is what we submitted to SLD.

Ive sent a message to servicedesk to see if they can offer any advice.

Very odd as we haven't changed any of the processes and has always worked fine.

Very odd indeed. Only other option I can think of is to create a new file and then not open it at all in Excel before submitting.

I raised a query with ESFA and after being sent a link to the sample file twice, which went to page not found both tines and a comment about a carriage return and I finally received the below response. I haven't been able to check yet as EAS still closed but assuming this will work.

Thank you so much Sarah, really helpful, ill give this a go as soon as EAS is open again - many thanks

I remember the sample file being incorrect at the start of the year.
