This looks legit to me, @antidipyramid! How many expenditure records does it create, and how does that compare to the number of expenditures in the portal? If it's close, can you go ahead and send the data file to Marjorie and ask her for feedback on the format, and ask whether she notices any records or important data points missing?

@hancush We didn't get any comments/questions-- seems like Marjorie is OK with the format.
