Hi experts,
Wondering how to convert ~2000 txt records into rows in a table for refining, then doing email merge and import into email programs etc. For each record, 12-16 out of 16 attributes would be available. I have two columns of text, where Column B holds the actual values for each record, e.g. like this:
[COLUMN A] [Column B]

Any recommendation on how to do this practically, maybe with VBA?
Thanks,
