Note:
If you are importing data from text files, the data is not usually in a format available for
use. Various separators are available to enable you to separate the data properly.
You can use individual separators, or a combination of separators, such as Tab,
Space, Comma or Semicolon. You can also use other characters or letters. You can
activate this functionality by checking the < Other > box and then specifying your
requirement in the subsequent field, e.g. the letter B. Enter B in the empty field and
confirm your entry by clicking on OK.
Another option for separating when importing is to enter the number of characters.
Select < Fixed text length > and enter the number of characters after which a field
separation should be inserted, e.g. 4. Enter 4 in the empty field and confirm your entry
by clicking on OK.
If you want to import an Excel, Access or E-plan file, the program automatically
recognizes the type of file it is dealing with and provides the first table or worksheet
to be copied. You have the option of selecting additional worksheets or tables for this
file. The first worksheet or the first table are displayed by default.
