Hi bharat,
if your source data is like this ex:
1. Consumables & Maintenance Solutions;Cleaning, Freshening &  Softening;Cleaners;Cleaner Compounds
2. Hand, Power, Machine, & Measuring Tools;Assembly & Fastening;Wrenches;Manual Wrenches;Manual Wrench Parts & Accessories
you can follow this process:
1. select the category and right click, in the context menu set the split delimeter, in that choose split hierarchy.
2. select the category and right click, from the context menu select split into hierarchy.
3. In Map fields/values tab, in source fields you will see new split hierachy field, map this field to corresponding destination cateory field.
4. in values pane, you can see the source values in a hierarchy.
5. Map these values to the corresponding destination values, other wise you can add to the destination in a new category, ( select the source values node and click on add button and you can selcect Add branch as child Or Add branch as sibling)
6. Once value mapping is over, do the importing and you can see these results in Data manager Taxonomy mode.
as you said: you have data like field1 field 2 field 3
You have to select all the fields in Import Manager which u need to hierarchies and select the option “ Create Hierarchy field ”. You will see a new popup window in which you have to fill  the fields like ( parent field/ child filed and node) and your hierarchy will be created.
hope this may help You,
