Can someone please help??

Wanting to get my universe started, not wanting to type in everything - help!

When I open the exported CSV file from TBCB2 in Excel, it doesn't understand the delimits. I get one big long column with ";" after each intended column.

There must be a step I'm missing. It's been a while since I've done this and I've spent the last hour trying to figure out the problem. Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance.

Matt

If no one has answered this in the next 48 hours, when i get back home I will give you the step by step that I use to import files to excel.

Here goes.

1. Export the fighter database through the Import/Export page in the Options area. I save mine to My Documents rather than Exchange.

2. Open Excel, under the 'Data' tab go down to 'Import external Data' and import the data.

3. Look in My Documents and open the 'Fighters' file.

Text Import Wizard

Step 1 - Leave as delimited and press next.

Step 2 - Choose semicolon and press next.

Step 3 - Press finish.

Open the spreadsheet in cell A1 and edit away.

It worked! Thanks much! I'm now a couple of weeks into my universe - trying it out before I make a fool outta myself and post it...

Hi All, newly purchased TBCB2 and somehow already messed things up. Added some boxers from Cornerwork and all looked fine. Today my entire file has ALL boxers listed as HW. Never created new file had only added some boxers and now all listed under HW. Any suggestions? Thanks Bill
