I am receiving the following error when uploading a retiree file on the RDS Secure Website: "Invalid number of attributes provided in record. Expected 13, Received ____". How do I resolve this issue?

Verify that only columns A through M (the first 13 columns) contain information and are being uploaded. If additional columns are included, delete all information starting from column N (column 14), save, and then re-upload the .CSV file.

If the file only contains information in columns A through M, do the following:

1. Close the .CSV file, then open the .CSV file in Notepad (right click on file, select "open with," then "notepad").
2. Check the bottom of the file. If there is an extra row(s) of commas below the last record, delete the commas, save, and then re-upload the .CSV file.

You may also refer to Retiree File Upload Errors in the RDS User Guide for instructions on resolving errors. Additionally, you may reference the Sample Retiree File Spreadsheet for a sample file and instructions.
