The format of the field values is incorrect, possibly because the details were copied and pasted from a source with a different format.

If you are using a Mac machine to generate the text file, it might be created in a non-Unicode format. During the import phase, the system checks if the text file is non-Unicode, and if so, this could be one of the reasons for the error.

Additionally, using an offline version of the template may also lead to the same error.

Always enter the details manually in the template for at least the first row. After that, you can refer to the format of each cell and fill in the subsequent rows accordingly.
