Importing or exporting a text file (.txt or .csv) There are two ways to import data from a text file into Excel: you can open it in Excel or you can import it as an external dataset in USA. To export Excel data to a text file, use the Save As command and change the file type in the drop-down menu. There are two commonly used text file formats: Delimited text file (.txt), in which the TAB character (ASCII character code 009) typically separates each text field. Comma Separated Values (.csv) Text file where the comma (,) typically separates each text field in USA.
You can change the delimiter used in delimited text and CSV files. This may be necessary to ensure that the import or export process works as expected.Import a text file by opening it in Excel. You can open a text file created in another program as an Excel workbook using the Open command. Opening a text file in Excel does not change the format of the file; You can see it in the title bar of Excel where the file name keeps the extension of the text file name (for example .txt or .csv). Go to File > Open and navigate to the location that contains the text file in USA. Choose text files from the Files of type drop-down list in the Open dialog. Locate the text file you want to open and double-click it. If the file is a text (.txt) file, Excel starts the Text Import Wizard. After completing the steps, click Finish to complete the import process. For more information about delimiters and advanced options, see the Text Import Wizard.If the file is a CSV file, Excel will automatically open the text file and display the data in a new workbook in USA.

You also have the option to add your own data to the data model. Select Transform data if you want to load and edit data in Power Query before transferring it to Excel.
