Re: [libreoffice-users] How to import a txt file into an existing Calc sheet?
Hi :) I had a go at using "Fixed width" but then needed to define each width in the little box at the bottom which was uncomfortably small on my screen at my resolution. Later on i tried it again and it had remembered the widths i had defined last time. Sadly i could not find the fixed width thing in Base.

Using your data, I used Edit > "paste special" then chose "unformatted text" from the dialog. The dialog then wanted to know what the separator was.

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to import a txt file into an existing Calc sheet?
Hi :) I think i would approach this by using a database program rather than importing into a spreadsheet program. A database program such as Base should be able to read the text-files directly. Queries, Forms and Reports can be set-up to do the required calculations. Setting it up would not be trivial! It could be quite tricky especially if you have never used a database program before. I would guess that it was not trivial to set it up for Excel either. Could you send me attachments off-list so i could have a copy of an original text-file, the blank you import the text into and an example of a completed sheet? I might have enough time to have a quick poke around and perhaps show to some databasing experts over the next couple of weeks. Until you can get Calc or Base or something to do the task you will need to keep going back to Windows and MS Office. Migrating away from systems you have spent years becoming familiar with often means returning for odd 1 or 2 tasks until you are ready.
