Error message

Cause

This error occurs when you are importing or pasting a table of data in the Export-Import data format, and something is wrong with the format of the incoming data. It can occur when you use the File → Import... menu item for an edit table, when you paste into a table after using Copy Table, when using the ReadExportFile function, or when using the Import typescript command.

The following incoming table data illustrates the problem that generates this error message.

TextTable Value actual_pxy
Real_case	1
J	1	2	3	
I
1	0.02725765011541777	0.04153179237564002	2.721954086501507e-003

The index J appears on line 3 and on line 8, but the index values are not consistent on those two lines. On line 3, J is shown with the values 1, 2 and 3. To be in the proper format, the values given for J on Line 8 must also be 1, 2 and 3. In this case they are not the same, and hence the error.

The following shows the same data in the correct format
