2. Invalid_datatype - checks whether cells are of type desribed in File formats section, i.e. Numeric, String, Binary, Datetime or other.
3. Unrecognized_values - checks whether the following column values: country, cow_code, technical_indicator_name, scale exist in database. If not the user should update the appropriate WesSISPedia page.
