Answers, guides and tools
What columns belong in a simple towing reporting CSV?
Use separate identities for events, inquiries, jobs and payments, joined by explicit references. Keep a dictionary beside the file so another person knows what each row means.
Read →AnswerWhy do dates change when a towing CSV opens in a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet may interpret ambiguous text as dates or numbers according to its import settings. Preserve the original file and define the intended format before converting.
Read →AnswerHow do you detect duplicate towing job records?
Use stable record IDs and understand repeated exports before deleting rows. Matching amounts, names or telephone numbers can merge genuinely different work.
Read →AnswerHow do you review a towing call-log CSV without guessing identities?
Import a small supported file, check the column meanings and link events only through explicit evidence. Preserve unmatched calls as an evidence queue.
Read →AnswerWhy do towing payment exports not match job totals?
Payment transactions, jobs and bank settlements are different records. Join through explicit references and account for adjustments before comparing totals.
Read →AnswerHow can you check a towing CSV before using its totals?
Validate format, row structure, identifiers and values before calculating. Keep the original untouched and treat unexpected formulas or ambiguous fields as issues to resolve.
Read →AnswerHow do you keep towing report corrections understandable?
Version the definitions and record what changed, why and which periods were affected. A corrected total without an audit note is hard to compare with an earlier report.
Read →AnswerWhy do towing spreadsheet percentages look wrong?

Read →AnswerWhy do currency values break a towing CSV import?
