Use Straight Non-directional Double Quotes ("") — Not Curly Ones (“ ”)

Why does this matter? While curly quotes might look nice, they confuse the system. Computers don’t always read them correctly due to inconsistencies.

These inconsistencies can cause errors and stop your entry from being processed correctly.

Here’s what to do:

• ✔️ Correct: "March 4, 2025","1,10,20,25,31,38" ← all quotes are non-directional.
• ❌ Incorrect: “March 4, 2025”,“1,10,20,25,31,38” ← calculator will not read data with curly quotes.
• ❌ Incorrect: “March 4, 2025”,”1,10,20,25,31,38” ← only one curly opening quote
• ❌ Incorrect: “March 4, 2025","1,10,20,25,31,38” ← mismatched!

Straight non-directional quotes equals consistency.

Easiest Way: Use a Spreadsheet

If you find the above method difficult, use a spreadsheet. It will make things much easier. Here’s how to enter your data into a spreadsheet.

Step 2: Save your file as "CSV" file

Step 3: Open the file using a simple text editor such as notepad
