3 rows × 3 columns after the fixes · was 4 × 3 · 7 cells changed

· marks a space at the start or end of a value. The dots are not in the data; they show spaces you would otherwise not see.

Why

Spreadsheets and accounting tools set to another language read 1.234,56 as text or as the wrong number, and swap day and month in dates like 03.04.2026.

What it does

  1. Remove empty rowsOn the sample: 1 row removed
  2. Trim spaces in every columnOn the sample: 1 cell changed
  3. Read "Amount" as numbers (decimal mark: comma, 1.234,56); values that are not numbers are left as they areOn the sample: 3 cells changed
  4. Rewrite the dates in "Date" (read as day first) as YYYY-MM-DD; blank and unreadable values are left as they areOn the sample: 3 cells changed

Your file needs these columns, spelled exactly: Date, Amount. If one is missing or renamed, the workflow tells you which step it breaks and does not run.
