What it does

  1. Remove empty rowsOn the sample: 1 row removed
  2. Trim spaces in every columnOn the sample: 1 cell changed
  3. UPPER-case "Product Code/SKU"On the sample: 2 cells changed
  4. Read "Price", "Cost Price", "Retail Price", "Sale Price" as numbers (decimal mark: dot, 1,234.56); values that are not numbers are left as they areOn the sample: 12 cells changed

Your file needs these columns, spelled exactly: Product Code/SKU, Price, Cost Price, Retail Price, Sale Price. If one is missing or renamed, the workflow tells you which step it breaks and does not run.
