Cause
Format of the values for fields is not correct cause you might have copy pated the details which was in different format.
If you are using a MAC machine when generating this text file you may get a non-unicode version of the file, the system checks whether text file is a non-unicode text file during import phase and if yes, then this is one of the reasons for Error.
If you use an offline version of template then also you are likely to get this error.
Resolution
Always type in the details in the template at least for the first row, later seeing the each cell format you can accordingly fill up the other rows accordingly
