When a space isn't a space

We've traced a recent import problem to it's source and learned in Excel there's two kinds of spaces. The tricky part is they look identical, but to the importer they're different and in the problem we were fixing, that was causing a reference value to be not found. We're fixing the importer so it treats both kinds of spaces the same and that fix will be in the update on the 19th. In the meantime you can try retyping problem values in the Excel file if they have a space.
