  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the Data Source: Review the data file or source from which you are uploading the information. Ensure that the "Summary daily flag" column contains only "X" or is left blank.
  
  
  Correct Invalid Entries: If you find any invalid entries in the "Summary daily flag" column, correct them to either "X" or leave them blank as appropriate.
