Import tab delimited document

How do you import a tab delimited document into calc?

In the menu click Sheet > Insert sheet, in the dialogue select option button From file. Click Browse button, select .csv file and click Open.

The Text Import dialogue will open.

  • select appropriate separator for the file (and string delimiter if needed)
  • Tick box Detect special numbers if likely to be needed
  • Assign Column Type to those columns that might get confused with another type of data
    OK

OK the Insert Sheet dialogue

Thank you Earnest.

Use sheet tab and bring it in from the file after giving a name.
