Troubleshooting
Problem
User imports data (into Controller) via a flat-file (for example CSV). Afterwards, the "Statistics - Import of External Data" window shows a very large number of 'DiscardedRows'. User double-clicks on the entry (to open the report). Inside the report, there are a large number of errors.
These errors will only occur where the values (to be imported) are not whole numbers (integers) - instead, they contain a decimal point.
Symptom
1016 The value must be numeric
