"inconsistent data types" is so so SO SO SO so useless an error message. #13

So I upload some police crime data... which takes long enough, because I wasn't allowed to upload the compressed version, and then it says: "One or more of your spreadsheet’s columns contain inconsistent data types".

But it doesn't tell we which column it has issues with. Oh no.

Still, at least the GIF IS ANIMATED! I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!

The underlying JSON error message at least gives me a clue, can we please display that somewhere geeky?
