To edit multiple budgets:

Urgent: Never change the values in the id column,

If you are assigning approvers, please be sure to use their email addresses, not their usernames.

When Setting end dates, the date format has to be the same as to what was specified in your company settings

When adding/editing departments in the spreadsheet make sure that the department's name is spelledexactly the same as it is in the app, since the app is case sensitive.
