Repeat for the other unnecessary columns.Ĭlick Finish, and you’ll have a table containing only the pertinent data, with no additional cleanup required. The header will change from “General” to “Skip Column” (see the headers in the image below). Select the Formula column, then click Do not import column (skip). For example, if you only need the columns containing the gas name and the constant pressure specific heat, you can remove the other columns. You can select any of these columns and choose Do not import column (skip) to remove it from the data table. Sometimes, data files contain more information than you need. You also have the option of omitting columns. Click each column in the preview window and set its type. You can also specify a date or text format. It treats numeric values as numbers, date values as dates, and everything else as text. I had done this many times before but never had problems going all the way to 300 columns in marking the columns. I tried it on two different Macs and the same problem appears. However, the dialog box does not allow to go beyond column 105. The General format is appropriate for most data. I am trying to import a text file and I have fixed columns and therefore I need to mark columns. Beats me why.The third window of the Text Import Wizard contains options to set a data format for each column. Then I go back to 'Data' -> 'Connections' -> 'Properties' -> 'Definition' Tab -> 'Edit Query' then reset to start at row 1 and click finish and it worked. I want the header information but I first set up the import stating at row 7, set the import type for each column and run. WORKAROUND SOLUTION (BTW: "Using Excel 2010") Even more strangly it has successfully done it on one of the.

Then the selected cells will be expanded to show all contents. Select the cells that you want to display all contents, and click Home > Wrap Text. In Excel, the Wrap Text function will keep the column width and adjust the row height to display all contents in each cell. TXT files before and Excel has picked up the table header row without problems but for some reason it is now having trouble on this file. Display all contents with Wrap Text function. I've done the same plenty of times with these MYOB. It is treating the MYOB account codes as dates which is causing no end of headaches. On the Import Wizard it is only showing me two columns (which matches the document header information in the equivalent of A1 and B1) so I can't set the third column to "TEXT" instead of "GENERAL". It has some document header information in the first six rows then the table header and the data. I have a related problem and I have discovered a work around solution.
