Anyone able to shed some light on this... EP4 reporting the following even though 'specials price' is LOWER than 'normal price'.

(my debugging info preceding the standard error message is included in sample output below, e.g., s_price: 6.7270 p_price: 14.1363, where s_price = 'specials_price' and p_price = 'products_price')

I've tried numerous things but just cannot understand why this is occurring for the handful of products above out of a few hundred in the original upload file.

Example of header and first data record in the file (only records that error are included in the current test file):

I am using Excel and encoding in UTF-8 via Notepad++ to ensure the descriptions are not compromised and many other similar records with specials in the original file are being processed as expected. I just can't see a pattern or work out why it is falling over on these. I've been testing this extensively before posting.

Would appreciate any assistance.

Cheers
