how to fix questionnaire parser error merged cells split questions wrong fails

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the spreadsheet questionnaire parser by acting on the exact message first: unmerge the merged cells in the question column before parsing, fill each merged value down into every row it covered, and reparse so no question is split across rows. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Use this when

• The operation in the spreadsheet questionnaire parser fails with this exact message: questionnaire agent broke parsing merged spreadsheet cells questions split mid sentence.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A review, export or check is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the spreadsheet questionnaire parser, and copy the full message plus the questionnaire, answer or evidence item involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: unmerge the merged cells in the question column before parsing, fill each merged value down into every row it covered, and reparse so no question is split across rows. Verify: each parsed question reads as one complete sentence and the count matches the source rows.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, template, feed or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Compare the result counts, decisions or alerts against the source in the spreadsheet questionnaire parser so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
5. Rerun the original operation in the spreadsheet questionnaire parser on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

merged cells store their text only in the first row, so the parser read fragments and blank rows and cut questions mid sentence.

Fix this in the questionnaire parser by acting on the exact message first: unmerge every merged cell in the question column, fill each question into its own row with the full question text, and turn text wrapping on instead of merging before re-importing.

Why it happens

a merged range stores its value only in the top-left cell, so the parser reads fragments and empty cells for the rest of the range and splits one question into pieces.

TL;DR

Fix this in the parser for the customer questionnaire spreadsheet by acting on the exact message first: before parsing the customer questionnaire spreadsheet, check the header row and merged cells, then convert the file to a clean one-question-per-row sheet before parsing; keep the original file untouched so the parse can be replayed. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Verify: the repaired customer questionnaire spreadsheet parses end to end and the parsed record count matches the source count.

6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

the parser assumed a clean, current format, and the real customer questionnaire spreadsheet broke one of those assumptions, so parsing stopped at the first bad structure instead of reporting it.
