    Exclamation Importing text file displays as a single row and not a table

    This is the text file: Video.txt. I import it using the following settings: "Delimited" as Original data type and "Comma" as Delimiters, with all the other settings left to default. Everything is imported into a single row. It is supposed to be a table, with Stk_No, Title, Certificate, up to In_Stk as column titles; then, all the rest should come below the column titles as rows (they seem to be separated by 5 commas). Am I missing a setting or there is a problem with the text file?

    There are no carriage return/line feeds in the file.
    Everything is separated by commas and commas alone.
    So you will indeed end up with one long row.

    Suggest you recreate the text file and save the file as csv format rather than txt.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
