If I can add my 2c.

Allan you are correct in stating there are no rules around csv. just
guidelines, this means if you are going to use a column then it needs to be
validated. you cannot even trust delimiters. at work we have one piece of
software that outputs tildes ~ as the delimiter.

It also means you cannot make assumptions about why there is something
unexpected.

Both credit and debit fields can be blank/zero. My bank uses such as advice
lines. They should be ignored or entered in as a zero balance transaction.

In my opinion a blank numeric entry field should be interpreted as 0.

I personally would ignore lines without valid dates, but would advise the user
this is happening and ask if they want to make it the default for that
template. so they aren't asked again.

Personally I would like to see the all imported transactions listed at the end
of the import with the ability to edit individual transactions or cancel the
import if it didn't go to plan.

But I guess that is a wishlist item.
