importing a tab delimited file
I am trying to import a tab delimited file (.tab), and the data only imports
into the first column. How do I get the data to import into each column based on the delimiters? When I go thru the wizard and choose "tab" as the delimiter, the data appears as one whole column. I'm downloading the file from a site that says it is a tab delimited file. Thanks Rust |

Have you tried using space as the delimeter?

Get a copy of Chip Pearson's CellView addin.
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/CellView.htm Then you can check to see if there really are tabs in your file. rustypuckett wrote: I am trying to import a tab delimited file (.tab), and the data only imports into the first column.
