Importing a tab dilimited file into cells

How do yo import a tab-delimited file so that when it opens each separated tab is within its own cell in a table? I have .txt files.
Opening in Excel it recognized it as tab-delimited and offered steps to present the file in separated cells as desired.
In Numbers it just opens with all the tabs together in one cell (row separated).
Am I missing something here? This seems pretty basic.
Thx.

Have you tried dragging the icon of the tab-delimited file onto the Numbers icon? If that comes up with all data in one cell per row, I'd say the file is not tab-delimited. It probably has spaces & you have to "clean up" the text in a word processor.

  • Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on 10.9.5

    I am having Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo., 400GB drive, 4GB memory DDR3
    So far I have:
    - Followed closely the help screen in Contacts app
    - Modified my source document meticulously - first in MS Word, then copied and tweaked in Apple's "Text Edit" app
    - The problem arises when I go to access the document for import.  Specifically, the target document, and all others in that file, are "greyed out" and thus can't be "opened" to facilitate the import process
    - Tried changing the extension of the document name to ".txt", ".rtf", and ".rtd". No change or improvement.
    - Searched Apple.com/help and found nothing relevant
    Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I may be overlooking in this process?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi Rammohan,
    Thanks for the effort!
    But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
    Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields.  I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
    Moreover I have about 10 such work areas.  so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
    I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
    Thanks once again,
    Best Regards,

    Hi
    Why are you trying to import BPM zip file are you trying to configure the out of the box workflows?
    They are something that need to be deployed from the process admin on BPM.
    There would be the .exp file you would need as its BPM 10g that you would need to use.

  • Import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance

    Is it possible to import a 10g DMP file into a 9.2.0.5 instance? Thanks
    in advance for your thoughts.

    No, do NOT run the catexp.sql from 9i in your 10g db! That was only a valid method with Oracle 6/7 and Oracle 7/8!
    Just use the Oracle 9.2 version of exp to create the dumpfile from the 10g database. You can use SQL*Net to connect to the 10g db from your 9.2 server connecting like system/manager@tnsname. Then use 9.2 imp to import the dumpfile into your 9.2 db.
    If you have access to Metalink please refer to the following note for full details on compatibility between Oracle releases for exp/imp: 132904.1

  • How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
    I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!
    I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
    On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
    And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]

  • How do I import a SPSS .sav file into SQL 2008 r2 using SSIS

    Hi there,
    Like the title says, I'm trying to import an SPSS .SAV file into an SQL 2008 R2 database using SSIS.
    I've tried a few things, but i cant seem to get it to work properly. I'm hoping there's someone out there who could point me in the right direction.
    I've tried the following:
    Tried the IBM step by step manual (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v6r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Faccess_odbc.htm)
    --Couldnt folow this guide because I didnt have the SPSS MR DM-2 OLE DB Provider.
    Tried installing the provider using (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Fdts_troubleshooting.htm) as a guide to download the provider listed (www-03.ibm.com/software/products/nl/spss-data-model).
    --This didnt work, I still could not see the provider listed after install and rebooting the server.
    Tried to get the file as CSV (Company couldnt provide it in CSV or another format)
    The server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, has the Data Collection Data Model installed on it with SQL Server 2008 R2.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction they could make my day!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Import all your picture files into iMovie

    How do you import all your picture files into imovie all at one instead of one at a time?

    Put them into a folder then drag the folder to the timeline in a project. It's best to use iPhoto for this, as it's easily accessible from the Photo Browser in iMovie.
    In iPhoto, create an album containing all the photos you wish to import to iMovie. The iPhoto album can then be dragged from iMovie's Photo Browser. It's best to place the photos in the desired order in the iPhoto album before dragging into the iMovie project.
    By "pictures" I'm assuming that you mean photos (or stills) - not video clips.

  • How do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

    how do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

    You will need an application that can convert those pcd files into one that iPhoto supports, mainly jpeg. GraphicConverter is supposed to support many, many formats and might just support the pcd. If so you could use it to convert them to jpegs.
    There's an automator workflow that I've put into an application that will take many image files and convert them into jpeg with the RGB color profile. I've never tried it on the Kodak files but you can give it a try. It's called +*Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile*+ and can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar. Make a copy of a couple of files and see if it will work. If so then you can batch convert folders of the files at once by dragging them onto the application.
    I believe GC can do batch conversions but am not familiar with the application.

  • Problem importing Premier Pro CS4 files into CS5

    I have loaded Premier Pro CS5 onto a spanking new 64 bit machine.  When I import a CS4 project file into CS5, it asks me to locate the raw video files but nothing else.  All titles with graphics in them are without the graphics. The text is OK.  The graphics have disappeared.  How do I import a project so the titles are complete and don't have to be rebuilt?  .

    Can you please give your system specs?
    In particular, how many physical HDD you have as well as memory. OS, CPU etc.
    Also - what are the scratch disc settings in Premiere?
    Finally - what is the video type - SD? HD?
    Please give as many details as possible as it sounds like your system is going into overdrive.

  • Can I import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?

    Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
    I started with OWB10g and created a repository. After creating several modules I realized I had an Oracle 9.2 database in which to deploy the runtime stuff.
    I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer.
    I exported the 10g repository information to an MDL file.
    I dropped the 10g repository and created a 9.2 repository and also installed the 9.2 runtime components. All is cool so far.
    I then wanted to import the MDL file from the 10g repository into the 9.2 repository and its then I hit the snag.
    Is it possible to import a 10g MDL file into a 9.2 repository?
    I was hoping the format was a standaard CWM type that would be recognized by either version but it looks like I'm incorrect.
    Any other suggestions on how to get the 10g repository information into the 9.2 repository?
    I still have the 10g repository on another server so I am able to do other types (?) of exports or whatever.
    Many thanks for the help.
    Gary

    Gary,
    I am puzzled by the reason "I was unable to install the server side (AIX 5.2) binaries since I didn't have a 10g Universal Installer." OWB 10g comes with its own copy of 10g Universal Installer. I am not claiming to ever install on AIX myself, but can you list the errors you get, perhaps we can troubleshoot the underlying problem, rather than working around it.
    Not to dodge your question on exporting 10g MDL to 9.2. Even though this is an unsupported and untested scenario, because OWB 10g did not introduce any new objects, you can try editing the MDL as below. I don't see any risk in trying. Find the MDLRELEASE and RELEASE statements at the top (not the comments with #, they don't matter and change values back to 9.2, as in:
    MDLRELEASE=9.2
    RELEASE=9.2.0.2.0
    And becuase OWB 9.2 does not know what Database 10g is, if you have any Database locations in your MDL that are set to 10g, change them to 9.2 as in:
    [...]Oracle Database|9.2|[...]
