Importing txt csv files into Excel greater than 65k lines
Hi,
I have to import larger text and cvs files into Excel regulary. Curently I have to cut and paste the txt file when greater than 65k lines long. Ideally I would like it so that the txt file is automatically cut in the first 65 lines in tab 1, next 65k lines tab 2 etc... Is this possible as a default in the import routine of excel? |
