Solution: Review CSV and check week headers. Issue might also stem from absence of spacing between a workout and the following week.
Solution: Ensure one line spacing between the header information, workouts, and exercises.
Solution: Check workout dates. Use following method to check if date is within bounds.
Example Scenario:
Given Values
Start Date: 6 Jan
Week: 2
Workout Date: 20 Jan
Find Start and End bounds for Week 2
Start Bound = If week number > 1, Start Date + 7 * (Week - 1) , otherwise start bound = start date
Example: 6 Jan + 7 * (2 - 1) = Jan 13
End Bound = Start Bound + 6
Example: Jan 13 + 6 = Jan 19
Check if Workout Date is with bounds
Example: Jan 20 is later than end date. Therefore is incorrect and requires modification.
The number of weeks from given start date and end date do not equal the expected week count from the "No of weeks: #" header.
Solution:
Find number of weeks from start date and end-date. Compare with "No of weeks: #" header.
Excel / Google Sheets: Use the following function. Replace start_date and end_date with respective date values. Ensure spreadsheet's date format is either dd/MM/yyyy or MM/dd/yyyy;
=(DATEDIF("start_date", "end_date", "d" ) + 1) / 7
Compare.
Too many supersets. This error may also throw if the superset number e.g. Barbell Curl - Superset # , is larger than 10.
Solution: Reduce superset count to 10 or change superset numbers.
Solution: Change week count, start date and end date accordingly.
Solution: Ensure time is expressed as either 1h 1m 1s OR 1h1m OR 1h 1s OR 1m OR 1m 1s OR 1s.
Why? Time formatted in ##:##:## format may be auto-formatted in Excel or Google Sheets - changing their original values.

Solution: Check exercise header. Change to "Weight" if header originally says "Percentage %".
Solution 1: Check placeholder exercise's spelling. Fix spelling.
Solution 2: Check against exercise list. If exercise does not exist change to an alternative.
Solution: Change 'Date Format: ...' line to 'Date Format: N/A'
Solution: Change 'Date Format' line to either: 'Date Format: dd/MM/yyyy' OR 'Date Format: MM/dd/yyyy'
Solution: Check 'Date Format' and check workout dates.
Solution: If Metric, alter values so they are lower or equal to 1000. If Imperial, alter values so they are lower or equal to 2205.
Solution: Alter values so they are lower or equal to 200.
Solution: Change program name and omit following forbidden characters.
