Just a bad import setting as it should be directly achieved within the QueryTables.Add block​
like any beginner can operate just activating the Macro Recorder and well answering to the Import Wizard Assistant​
in particular here for each column format …​

thanks for your reply. But here what I mean is import from textfile to excel so you can see the link of the sample text file. so my import results are still messy or not in accordance with the results I want like the results from excel that I posted in this post
Thanks

thanks for your reply. But here what I mean is import from textfile to excel so you can see the link of the sample text file. so my import results are still messy or not in accordance with the results I want like the results from excel that I posted in this post. It's not like what you said if you find it easy please make an excel output like me from the text file that I share
Thanks

Yes but, in order to waste time like in your previous thread, according to your linked text file​
I need your filled result macro workbook as well with a link like for your text file​
so I could choose to improve your way (so easy as any beginner can operate manually just well answering to the Import Wizard Assistant)​
or share a direct way (should look like pretty the same than in your previous thread).​
I hope also to have some revert in your previous thread before to go deeper here …​

You must paste this VBA demonstration to the MASTER worksheet module :​
VBA Code:
Sub Demo1()
  Const N = "No. *"
    Dim V, F%, H, K, S, W, L&, T, R&, X
        ChDrive ThisWorkbook.Path:  ChDir ThisWorkbook.Path
    With Application
        V = .GetOpenFilename("Report files,*.txt", , "Select a file"):  If V = False Then Exit Sub
        F = FreeFile
        H = [{1,1;2,3;4,6;5,7}]
        K = [{7,1;8,2;9,3;10,8;11,9;12,10;13,11;14,12}]
        UsedRange.Offset(1).Clear
       .ScreenUpdating = False
       .ThousandsSeparator = "."
       .UseSystemSeparators = False
        Open V For Input As #F
        S = Split(Input(LOF(F), #F), vbCrLf)
        Close #F
        ReDim V(UBound(S), 1 To 18)
        W = .Match(N, S, 0)
    While IsNumeric(W)
        L = .Match("Pot. : *", S, 0) - 1
        T = .Trim(Split(S(L), vbTab))
        S(L) = "":  S(W - 1) = ""
        For L = 1 To 4:  V(R, L + 14) = T(2 + (L - 1) * 3):  Next
        T = .Trim(Split(S(W - 2), vbTab, 8))
    Do
        X = .Trim(Split(S(W), vbTab)):  If Not IsNumeric(X(1)) Then Exit Do
        For L = 1 To UBound(H):  V(R, H(L, 1)) = T(H(L, 2)):  Next
        For L = 1 To UBound(K):  V(R, K(L, 1)) = X(K(L, 2)):  Next
        R = R + 1
        W = W + 1
    Loop
        W = .Match(N, S, 0)
    Wend
    If R Then
        If .International(32) <> 1 Then
            For R = 0 To R - 1
                X = Split(V(R, 2), "/"):  If UBound(X) = 2 Then V(R, 2) = X(2) & "/" & X(1) & "/" & X(0)
            Next
        End If
        With [A2].Resize(R, UBound(V, 2))
            .Columns(8).NumberFormat = "@"
            .FormulaLocal = V
        End With
    End If
       .UseSystemSeparators = True
       .ScreenUpdating = True
    End With
End Sub
