    How do I turn text files into Excell spreadsheets?

    Hi Guys/Girls,
    I am more of a mechanic than an IT guru. I am dealing with an aircraft that has EFIS (Electronic Flight Info' System) that records data in .ALD files. I download these files via a data stick in .ald format, then open them in M'soft notepad. This I then import into Excell, but it's a mess. Can anyone help please?
    I am trying to get from this:
    Text file.jpg
    To this:
    Exell 1.jpg
    To this:
    Excell.jpg
    Thank you for your time.
    Neil

    can you attach a sample of the file here ?
    it looks like a CSV comma separated file
    but how it will import depends on that format - I dont see a Date in the text shown
    when you open in notepad
    use save as
    then change the file name from .TXT to .CSV
    open in excel and it should import

    OR you can do Text to Columns in excel and use delimited and ,
