How to open .dat file, and create QVD/QVW??

[#1]

Hi, I am very new to QV, but I would love to learn, and any help is greatly appreciated!

I am interning at a company this summer, and was told that they log  stats in .dat files and rely on Qlikview to generate QVDs of the .dat files. Then they write QVW reports using the data in QVDs.  

However, since I am so new to this, I have no idea how to even create a QVD, or how to load the dat file correctly into the QV??

This is my screen after dragging in a .dat file into QV, delimited.

Any help at all is appreciated, thanks!
