This error occurs when the file contains some invalid data. Examples of issues which may cause this error are:

  2. Opening the file in Excel (this may reformat the data)
  3. The file was exported from EMIS using the wrong settings.

Information on how to export the file from EMIS are available here: Importing Bills into MediBooks Using the Clinical System

The picture above shows an example of an error from incorrect file config.

  1. "RowNo2." is the location in the file of the error. The first row is the column headers so RowNo2 is the first line of content that MediBooks tries to import
  2. "Error parsing date 'Main Branch'. Expected dd-MM-yyyy", means it was expecting a date but found 'Main Branch'.
