If all of the items in each column are the same length, select Fixed width. Start import at row Type or select a row number to specify the first row of the data that you want to import.
File origin Select the character set that is used in the text file. In most cases, you can leave this setting at its default. If you know that the text file was created by using a different character set than the character set that you are using on your computer, you should change this setting to match that character set. For example, if your computer is set to use character set Cyrillic, Windows , but you know that the file was produced by using character set Western European, Windows , you should set File Origin to Preview of file This box displays the text as it will appear when it is separated into columns on the worksheet.
Delimiters Select the character that separates values in your text file. If the character is not listed, select the Other check box, and then type the character in the box that contains the cursor. These options are not available if your data type is Fixed width. Treat consecutive delimiters as one Select this check box if your data contains a delimiter of more than one character between data fields or if your data contains multiple custom delimiters.
Text qualifier Select the character that encloses values in your text file. When Excel encounters the text qualifier character, all of the text that follows that character and precedes the next occurrence of that character is imported as one value, even if the text contains a delimiter character.
For example, if the delimiter is a comma , and the text qualifier is a quotation mark " , "Dallas, Texas" is imported into one cell as Dallas, Texas. If no character or the apostrophe ' is specified as the text qualifier, "Dallas, Texas" is imported into two adjacent cells as "Dallas and Texas".
If the delimiter character occurs between text qualifiers, Excel omits the qualifiers in the imported value. If no delimiter character occurs between text qualifiers, Excel includes the qualifier character in the imported value. Hence, "Dallas Texas" using the quotation mark text qualifier is imported into one cell as "Dallas Texas".

To convert a column of all number characters to the Excel Text format, select Text. To convert a column of all date characters, each date in the order of year, month, and day, to the Excel Date format, select Date , and then select the date type of YMD in the Date box. Excel will import the column as General if the conversion could yield unintended results. If the column contains a mix of formats, such as alphabetical and numeric characters, Excel converts the column to General. If, in a column of dates, each date is in the order of year, month, and date, and you select Date along with a date type of MDY , Excel converts the column to General format.
