If an error mentions an invalid number of cells, what could be a likely resolution?

When encountering an error related to an invalid number of cells, the most effective resolution is to remove the extra column delimiter from the load file. This specific action directly addresses the issue of misalignment between the expected number of cells in a record and the actual number that the data file contains.

In data processing, particularly when importing data into a system, delimiters separate data fields (or cells). If there are extra delimiters present, they can lead to the creation of additional, unintended cells which causes the system to interpret the structure of the data incorrectly. This misinterpretation results in errors regarding the number of cells.

By removing the extra column delimiter, you restore the intended structure of the data, ensuring that the load file matches the expected format required by the import process. This step resolves the mismatch and allows the import to proceed successfully, as the system will now recognize the correct number of cells per record.
