Experience using DFIU Importing

The DFIU Importing tool has been very handy … but there is a learning curve … and even after all the data we have entered using this tool for our 3 stores – finally found this one ( with the help of Tier 2 help desk and a gracious lady on Tier 1 who helped push this ).

See image below ,,, this is what a line feed and a ‘line return’ look like >>> at the end of each line … to see these characters I opened up in MS Word.  What is interesting after the 3rd failed attempt to import … where is says – see errors in red …press the button and no errors show ( 2nd image ) and applying a combo of =CLEAN(TRIM( data here )) it still failed.  So these odd ball extra line feeds … hope I can avoid these …   good luck with your experience using DFIU.
