If your text file has a filename with an extension .txt, then start
Excel and do File | Open with "All files (*.*)" selected as the file type - identify your file and click open. Excel will automatically take you into the Text Import Wizard, which has 3 stages: Stage 1: specify if fixed-width or delimited Stage 2: specify the character used as delimiter Stage 3: specify the data type for each column When you click <finish, the file will be loaded into Excel. You should practice this a few times, then you could record a macro while you do it, so that in future you would only need to invoke the macro to do it for you automatically. Hope this helps. Pete |
