Delimited text data can be imported into DataLoad

Importing Data into DataLoad

You can easily import delimited text data from a file into your DataLoad spreadsheet. Files using any delimiter can be processed by DataLoad and the data imported into the spreadsheet currently open in DataLoad.

To import data select 'Import Data' from the 'File' menu.

Next, select the file containing the data you want to import and click 'Open'.

Having selected the file to open you will be prompted to select the delimiter used in the file. The following dialog box will appear:

If your file uses a Tab, Comma, Space or Semicolon as a delimiter then select the appropriate option, otherwise select Other and enter the delimiter used in the text box.

Click Continue and the contents of your spreadsheet will be replaced with the data contained in the file.

Note When data is imported into a spreadsheet the spreadsheet's existing data may be overwritten, but columns and rows beyond the imported data will not be affected.
