 +==== Example Procedure with Editing====
 +
 +  * Complete a search on RepeaterBook and export the data. If Microsoft Excel is installed on your computer, the file may automatically open with Excel
 +  * It is possible to edit the file with Excel. Column F is the potential issue. This is the repeater Offset Direction field with "-RPT", "+RPT", "-/+", and "OFF" as possible values. Any field with a leading operator such as "-" and "+" will be interpreted by Excel as a faulty equation and will display "#NAME?". If the file is saved while "#NAME?" is displayed, the original offset value will be overwritten with "#NAME?" and cause the file to error when imported into the programming software. ALL of column F must be manually adjusted before saving the file.
 +  * You can renumber Column A as desired, but rows 1 - 900 MUST be present.
 +  * Make sure there is a "0" in column BB of any newly added rows.
 +  * Save the file as a .CSV.

-===== Troubleshooting Errors ===== 
- 
-When the export is conducted from RepeaterBook.com, the file may automatically open in Excel. If any column contains values like "#NAME?" then you cannot use Excel to manipulate the data. Usually, the culprit is Column F, where the offset symbols with "+" and "-" are used. Excel attempts to convert that to a formula and fails. Saving the file will corrupt that column and cause it to fail on import. 
- 
-**Do not edit and save the file in Excel.** 
  
-When the file opens in Excel, close it without saving it. Import it directly from the Downloads folder.
