I got it. I can´t see any problem.
Did you set the data type of the columns in the import options to "text"?
When opening a 54,000+ rows csv-file the user does NOT usually browse
through the table to see if there will be problems and does NOT usually
chang row-formattings [please also notice that there is a clearly
text-header at the beginning of the file]. The user just expects that
everything works fine.
That was my expectation, too.
After importing the document, I made specific changes (it is unlikely
that any lab/health system will use all the LOINC-defined codes), and
customized the data even further and used that data subsequently. Only
after experiencing strange behaviour did I start to investigate what
went wrong and only after a lot of debugging did I notice the culprit.
How many hidden errors arise because of such automatic formatting?
I presume no one knows for surely, but it is probably much higher than
permissible.
Sincerely,
Leonard Mada
