Text file to Excel format

[thalapathy]

I have generated a report from the back end (oracle) which is in a text
format. like below(it actually comes in one line). But when i export to excel
format, I am getting the contents in different lines instead of one single
cell(the heading:activity log) due to which i am not able to user auto filter
in the ticket_number field. There will be more than 100 tickets, but when i
put filter it shows just the first ticket. Please help me out with this
issue.

Have contacted the Development Team and they had said that it
will not consider languages other than English. When this reply was sent to
Jignesh, he said that it was not the case in other tickets(eg:
162348).


Next Actions:
I have contacted Murali again about the issue. He is currently
working on it.

The best solution would be to save this as a text file itself and then use a
macro to separate the contents using the belong keywords. (If you are
familiar with macros)

Would require a sample text file and the fields you need to extract to do
this..Do you have some other options in the export window like export as a
..csv ..
