Had i looked and the top of the columns and seen that it went from F to H, then yeah, but who the hell checks for that?

I definitely feel your pain.

I had the same scenario and I wrote an import routine that depended on the existence of column letters in a defined order from left to right. Not only did they hide columns, they moved them around. And the formatting of different cells in the same column was variable. And they wrote little text notes in some cells in date columns. And they added new columns and changed the purpose and content of the columns.

And they were "too busy" to fix these things so I had to rewrite my already extremely fragile import code to try to deal with this.

Job security, I guess.
