I have tried to export data to Excel (using Import/export to Ascci File), edited and saved the excel file. However when I tried to import the data back to Tilos, nothing happeded (i.e. no changes in current programme). Also the file type that Tilos allow to import is txt. file (not excel file). Is there anything I did wrong there? I was using the same function Import/export to Ascci File to import the file back). Many thanks

    Hi Mai

    I don’t run Tilos but usually with Asta products you can copy paste directly from the programme to a spreadsheet and back again.

    Best regards

    Save as CSV (MS-DOS)

    Try saving the file from excel as a CSV(MS-DOS) file and try to import this file from Asta Tilos. CSV(MS-DOS) file format for many decades have been unchanged an probably will never be, it is a universal standard, contrary to worksheet files that every few years are changed. If Asta Tilos selection for file import was CSV(MS-DOS) it was a smart choice.

    In case the required format is not coma separated value or CSV you can try with a copy and paste from the worksheet to windows notepad and then try importing from the notepad file.
