I’m not really sure what the error is, but my assumption is that it is related to character encoding, at least for the CSV file. * The HTML file fails because the HTML that is generated by Excel is not valid ( in terms of the format the HTML importer wants). Therefore, I suggest that we concentrate on the CSV file. * If possible, I’d like to take a direct look. Can you therefore please email me the XLS and the CSV file, if possible both in ZIP archive, to prevent our email programs from messing with them? My address is in the main plugin file tablepress. php. I’ll then gladly take a look and try to find out what’s wrong there. * Regards, Tobias * Thread Starter [cajos1968](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cajos1968/) * (@cajos1968) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-importing-tablepress/#post-3255669) * Hi tobias Thx for the reply. The errorline is the D65-S line (middle). The import fails every time. Even if I first open it in Textpad or other text editor. If I remove that line it is importing!! What a lovely tool you have created!! But that darn line, can’t see the issue! * Thread Starter [cajos1968](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cajos1968/) * (@cajos1968) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-importing-tablepress/#post-3255670) * Do you know a tool to validate a csv file * Plugin Author [Tobias Bäthge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobiasbg/) * (@tobiasbg) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-importing-tablepress/#post-3255673) * Hi, * cajos, please email me the CSV file, packed in a ZIP archive. Only with that can I really investigate this, for example for internal issues with the character encoding. Things like that don’t “make it” through when posting the affected line here, so the three lines above don’t really help and I can’t spot anything wrong in them. So, please email me the file as described in my previous post. * Thanks, Tobias * [IHDadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ihdadmin/) * (@ihdadmin) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-importing-tablepress/#post-3255693) * Mee too facing the same issue.
