Can't Get My Excel File To Save Properly As Txt


uzuria

Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

 

I'm developing an excel spreadsheet for an easy populate import, but am having a problem.

When I save it as tab delimited, the table messes up and some cells become distorted. I think this is due to product descriptions with paragraph gaps, but I'm not sure. But basically I end up with big gaps in my table and the products don't match up any more.

 

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? It works when I save it as a .csv file but not .txt :(

.csv and .txt are basically the same thing. Save as .csv and rename to .txt and upload :). CSV just means comma seperated values and is a text file with commas seperating the fields in pretty much the same way the text file would.

When in Excel, Go to File- Save AS then change the File type to Tab Delimited (txt). Hope this helps.

Do or Do Not, there is no try.
