"Blue Shirt,19.99,SKU-001
Red Shirt,24.50,SKU-002What the parser sees
The first data row begins a quoted field at "Blue Shirt but never closes it. Once a quoted field is open, a comma or newline can legally be part of that field. The parser therefore cannot safely assume that the next physical line starts a new record.
Why a column error may appear too
Because the quote changes record boundaries, the parsed row can also have fewer fields than the three-column header. That width mismatch is useful evidence, but adding a missing comma would treat the symptom rather than the cause.
The report should include a quote parser error and structural side effects.
Determine whether the quote was accidental or whether the field was supposed to contain punctuation or a line break.
Balance or escape the quotation mark using the original data as the reference.
Confirm the quote error and any row-width error disappear together.
