๐Ÿ†˜ Quick Troubleshooting Guide

Solution:

  • Check file size (most AI tools limit to 10-25MB)
  • Remove special characters from headers
  • Save as UTF-8 encoding
  • Try converting to .txt if CSV fails
  • Split large files by month/quarter

Better Prompting Formula:

Context + Specific Question + Desired Format = Better Results
