Friends i have a .txt file which contains many columns of data and i want to import only the selected part of data from that .txt file. Is it possible to do that. Normally i first go in data tab in excel then i click on from text button to import the data of .txt file, but this imports all data of .txt file. On the other hand i want only the selected part of data to be imported in excel sheet. please help me in this regard. thanks a lot.
