I am dumping data in a tab delimited file that I would like to view and analyze in Excel. But the file contents change frequently and I do not want to go through the importing steps every time, i.e. define delimiters, column names etc. Is there a way to save a link metadata in an Excel file so that you can skip the definition steps upon subsequent openings, i.e. that it knows that the first row are column names, it is tab delimited etc.?
Thanks
Yes, you can. Go through the Get External Data route. Once you set it up. All you have to do next is “Refresh Data”. No macro needed.
