When I import a text file(comma separated )into a numbers spread sheet all the data goes into one column. Why does the text not go into separate columns based on the commas.

When I import a text file(comma separated) into a numbers spreadsheet all the data goes into one column instead of individual columns based on the comma separators.  Excel allows you to do this during the import..  Is there a way to accomplish this in numbers without opening it in Excel and the importing into Numbers.

Your user info says iPad. This is the OS X Numbers forum. Assuming you are using OS X… Be sure the file is named with a .csv suffix.
(I don't have an iPad, so I don't know the iOS answer.)

  • I wish to import a Bank csv file into my numbers spreadsheet but all of it goes into one column which I can't separate

    I wish to import a csv file from my Bank into a numbers spreadsheet but I can't expand it from the one column it's in . Can anybody help  Thankyou

    This Automator Service (Dropbox download) should do the job, eliminating the need for a trip to TextEdit, etc.
    The one-time installation is simple: just doubleclick the .workflow package. You may have to click "Download Anyway" in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
    To use, in Finder select the csv file, rightclick, and in Services in the contextual menu select CSV to Tabs on Clipboard. Choose the delimiter when prompted (usually it's a comma but there are other choices). When the "ready to paste" notification appears a few seconds later, click once in a Numbers cell and command-v to paste the data. (If needed Numbers will automatically expand the table to accommodate the data.)
    To remove or rename the Service, in Finder hold down the option key and in the menu Go > Library > Services.

  • Adobe InDesign CS2 -  Why does the resolution change when I import a PDF file to InDesgin

    When I import a PDF file to InDesgin the resolution from the PDF changes.
    Any ideas?

    InDesign uses a low resolution thumbnail (might be the wrong way to descirbe, but easiest to visualise) to represent images/files placed into indesign. As InDesign is a page layout program it enhances the speed of the application as it doesn't have to draw the images in full detail, but rather just represent them in their size and position in the layout.
    There are 3 viewing settings, available through the View> Display Performance (for the whole document) or Object>Display performance (on an object by object basis).
    The resolution of the image from that point on relies on whether it was Vector or Raster, or in PDF and EPS cases, vector and raster. As already mentioned Vectors and PDFs don't contain a resolution. Vectors are mathematical equations that require the device outputting the image to draw them to the best of their abiltiy.
    PDFs are a wrapper for a file, it can wrap text, vectors and raster for output.
    But all the same, InDesign uses lo-res thumbnails to represent the PDF/Image/Object until ready to output. But you need to adjust the Display Performance.

  • I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder

    I am not being able to play sound when I import a .MTS file from my folder on my sequence bar of my Premiere Pro CS6. Even if I use my Media Browser to import the file, the video plays fine, but the audio is disabled it seems. I don't know what to do since I have used .MTS files before without hassle on CS5.5. It is quite frustrating. What can I do?

    Hi debesh05,
    Please mention the Operating System that you are using and also make and model of the Camera that was used to capture those clips. Also, try to make another folder with the same name in the same location where the .MTS files are and move all the clips into the new folder and then try to import the files again using Media Browser in Premiere Pro CS6. If this doesn't work then make a copy of one file and rename it as .M2TS and then import that single file into Premiere Pro CS6. Please update if either of the solution works for you.

  • When i import a MP3-file, it's placed under 'Podcasts' not 'Music'

    When I import a certain file on my hard drive, it's placed under the 'Podcasts'-directory instead of the 'Music'-directory, which is really irritating, as I now have to go to the podcast-directory every time I want to play it.
    Anyhow, the file is just like other MP3-files I got on my computer - that I am able to import without problems. It's 96kbps and .mp3-format, just like a dozen other song I just imported, and that puts themselves into the music-directory.
    Why does this certain file keep putting itself in the podcast-directory, and what can I do to avoid that?

    If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place.  The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    It does not convert the file.  You can delete the original if you wish.

  • When i import H264 .mov files the audio slows down. MAC

    I have a mac, running Mavericks OSX and i'm using Premiere CC.
    When I import a .mov file with h264 encoding the audio plays back very slowly.
    I know that Premiere can't handle h264 in an avi wrapper or so it has been said in old forums, but these are .mov files.  How has this been an issue since CS 3 and it hasn't been fixed?
    I would expect an import setting could be changed to fix this but i can't seem to find any import settings.
    other than transcode everything again, is there an easy fix for this?
    Thank you for your help.

    Are these files MPEG compressed files? iMovie can not deal with the multiplexed audio of those files. For suggestions on how to get them right start here...

    And if your files are not MPEGs, some of the suggestions on that page may still do what you need done.

  • How can I Cache the data I'm reading from a collection of text files in a directory using a TreeMap?

    How can I Cache the data I'm reading from a collection of text files in a directory using a TreeMap? Currently my program reads the data from several text files in a directory and the saves that information in a text file called output.txt. I would like to cache this data in order to use it later. How can I do this using the TreeMap Class? These are the keys,values: TreeMap The data I'd like to Cache is (date from the file, time of the file, current time).
    import java.io.*;
    public class CacheData {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
      String target_dir = "C:\\Files";
      String output = "C:\\Files\output.txt";
      File dir = new File(target_dir);
      File[] files = dir.listFiles();
      // open the Printwriter before your loop
      PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter(output);
      for (File textfiles : files) {
      if (textfiles.isFile() && textfiles.getName().endsWith(".txt")) {

    I don't understand your question.
    If you don't know how to use TreeMap why do you think a TreeMap is the correct solution for what you want to do?
    If you are just asking how to use TreeMap then there are PLENTY of tutorials on the internet and the Java API provides the methods that area available.
    TreeMap (Java Platform SE 7 )
    Are you sure you want a map and not a tree instead?

  • I have been sampling new imported drum loops. And if I adjust region to song or time strecth it updates the audio file in the library. How to stop this? I lost the original setting to one loop. automatically doing it ??

    I have been sampling new imported drum loops. And if I adjust region to song or time strecth it updates the audio file in the library. How to stop this? I lost the original setting to one loop. automatically doing it ??

    This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • How to import a csv file without "+" being added to numbers?

    I'm trying to import a csv file from my bank. Numbers automatically adds a "+" and "-" sign before all numbers. Numbers won't add the numbers with a + sign. How can I easily remove the + sign? It seems the delimiter in the csv file may be ", rather than , Thanks.

    Wayne,
    I don't believe that the plus sign came from Numbers. Except for a purposful application of a Custom Format, Numbers isn't going to add the plue sign. The minus sign is another issue. It's a perfectly acceptable part of the value and shouldn't cause a problem.
    If the plus sign came from the CSV file, which you seem to imply isn't the case, you would have to strip it out before submitting to Numbers.

  • When I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    when I import a Quick Time movie into the timeline using Final Cut Express, why does it need rendering?

    Because your clip properties do not match your sequence settings.
    It will help a lot if you provide details ...
    FCE Easy Setup
    Sequence settings (vid rate, frame size, compressor)
    Source of your clips (camcorder make/model, etc)

    I continue to try to install iTunes; when I attempt to open the newly installed iTunes, I receive errors that it was not correctly installed. I have followed the direction on this website, but I face the same error. Please help.

    latest message indicates I need Apple Application Update
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • Why does a text banner pop up while in a text converstaion? only the sound alerted before iOS 6.

    why does a text banner pop up while in a text converstaion? only the sound alerted before iOS 6.

    but that only started with iOS 6. prior, the text tone would sound when you were in a different conversation. I like the banner but it's annoying when I'm already in the text screen.... understand the question?

  • Why does elements 11 not recognize nikon nef files

    I have been using Elements 11 for quite a while for Canon Raw files with great success. It really works fine for me.
    I recently bought a Nikon D300. For some reason Elements 11 will not recognize the Nikon NEF raw files.
    W H Y ? ? ?

    Thank you for your reply.
    Answers to your questions:
    I am using Win7 64 bit. Elements 11 has worked just fine until I attempted to process NEF files.
    I always copy files to my HD before trying to process any.
    How do I check to see if my Camera Raw module is current? EVERY time, regardless of day of the week or time of day, when do the Help/Update thing I ALWAYS  get that message block about website is busy, try again. I'll bet I've tried it over a hundred times over the past two weeks or so. I have a feeling that it can't be that busy for that long. Or, maybe I'm just unlucky, or maybe your server is too small to handle the load.
    Needless to say, I am really frustrated with Adobe.
    Again, thank you for your reply, and hopefully my answers will provide a solution.

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.
