Cannot alter unit for Item x

The aforesaid error generally appears while :

Uploading "StockItem Masters" into a Tally Company; which already contains the same StockItem but with a different unit of measurement.

Here's a example :

StockItem with name "Item A" exists in Tally Company having Unit of Measurement (UOM) as "Nos". Let's now try to modify it's UOM to Kgs. As you can see below, the cursor does NOT go the the Unit field.



Remarks:
This is a restriction in Tally Software. You cannot alter the UOM of a StockItem if one or more records / vouchers exist which contain that StockItem

Cause of the Problem:- It is likely that the Excel sheet that you are using contains some FORMULA's. Though the display format (may) have been set to 2 decimals, MS-Excel internally does not round it off to 2 decimals until you use the =ROUND() function. Solution :- Search for FORMULA's used in the Excel sheet and use the =ROUND() function wherever decimal points are required. For example, let us assume, cell D2 has a FORMULA. i.e. =+A2 / B2 .
