Hello -
I need to load data from a CSV file that contains line-breaks in some entries. The file looks like "DATA-A", "A" "DATA-B", "B C D" "DATA-E", "E" when I open it in an ASCII editor. The line-breaks are Chr(10) and if I open the file in Excel it puts the B C D in one cell with three lines. My problem is that I want to load this data with the Data Import External Data Import Data... function so that I can easily update it. I tried that but Excel will interpret the Chr(10) as a new line and the imported data will look like it does in the ASCII editor. I guess I could write some VB code and link that to a button to do the loading and correct interpretation of that data, but I think it would be easier to just use Excel's existing functionality if it lets me do that. I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks, Joe |
