without any clue about your data-file this is definitely unsolvable. But some things to consider : Where is the dataset coming from? Did you check for special characters? Is there an apostrophe somewhere in a string? (That messed up things for me once). Is the delimiter placed correctly everywhere?
Did you check how the dataframe looks like? If you see what's the last observation read in, you can jump to that line number in the txt file and check yourself what goes wrong.
