Hi, baru

You have to select an appropriate dilimiter symbol and maybe skip some rows as a header.

Look at the attachment.

Hi,

It looks like you will have to choose a custom delimiter symbol, probably #. Try that to se if your data looks ok.

Hi Tom,

thanks for your valuable answers.

I got some idea about loading .txt files,but in my other file when i am giving delimiter is '#' it is dividing into columns but column names is showing @1,etc...

and also when i am giving delimiter is '#',in one column it is showing 'home/shop/familily' how can i eliminate '/' and divide it into ather columns.

please help me.
