Importing Data from Excel

[MichaelP]

Hi

I am trying to import data from Excel, but when I do I get the screen pop up with "Binary Read - Step 1 of 2" in the corner. and it wants me to add in a format string. The example in the guide a different screen appears (one that I remember from my Uni days) with "Excel Read - Step 1 of 2" in the corner, and I know what to do from here.

Is there a way to get the 'normal' screen to appear, and if not what should I do with the "binary Read" screen?

Thanks
Mike

Sounds like you're trying to read in an XLSX file using a method that doesn't support XLSX files.

Thanks. Your right, it works fine now.
