Julius AI miscalculates localized spreadsheets: commas, spaces and dates
Symptoms
- Amounts are counted as zero or as text
- Dates have the month and day swapped
- The result has fewer rows than the file
Causes and fixes
1. Numbers use a decimal comma and space as the thousands separator
What to do: Save the CSV with a dot as the decimal separator or say in the request: "comma is the decimal separator, remove the thousands spaces"
2. Dates in DD.MM.YYYY format
What to do: State the date format in the request or convert to YYYY-MM-DD before uploading
3. Rows with gaps were silently dropped
What to do: Ask it to show the row count before and after each step
