ViewPro: Saving Imported CSV file as DAT file


rmorris Jan 29, 2021 01:03 PM

Hi. Is there a way to save an imported CSV file as a DAT file so that it can be opened directly in ViewPro rather than going through "Import CSV" to get it into 'proper' format. I have renamed a file to give it the .dat extension but it will only open in an unformatted 'text' view if opened directly. This is a file that was originally a .dat file - opened in Excel to edit some headers etc - then saved as csv and renamed to.dat extension. Thanks for reading.

Good day.

Both .dat & .csv are text files.

They can be edited/viewed using a text editor.

Try to send first few lines here to compare .dat file before and after Excel processing.

Bye.
