Invalid Number Error
Hi guys,
I'm having a bit of a nightmare using data loader to mass upload records to a custom object. I have extracted data from one custom object and I'm uploading the data into another object.
The field is question is Quantity__c and both are of type number with a length of 18 and 0 decimal places. I have changed the format in the .csv file to reflect this but it just is not accepting the data.
Has anyone faced a similar issue and if so how did you resolve it?

I figured out what the issue was eventually with the help of Salesforce support. By default my data loader settings had to be changed. In there I had to enable 'Use Bulk API' and if fixed the issue that I was facing.

And see which rows are failing ..
Please extract the data using csv format and use the same to upload.
OR
Please do not change the format of existing document in .csv format, rather create a new .csv document and then copy the content from old one to new one. And map the field and try to upload.
Thanks
