Hello all!
I am trying to convert a TXT file into Excel file. The problem is, this file contains some data that are in different lines and sometimes we can have 100 lines, sometimes 50 lines.... and so goes on.
If there is a way to convert all information of this TXT file into the excel that would make an outstanding change in my line of work, by removing copy and paste.
Thanks in advance!

The point here is do we need to format the lines?
or you just want the text to be output as the same format of text input, without any delimiters?

Hello Qiu. Thank you very much for the attention.
Your solution does attend my requirement, however I would to have a few modifications, I don't know if alteryx can do that, but sill....
The output on the the excel should respect the blank spaces that the notepad has. I am pretty sure that the input tool is not able to "respect" those spaces, so it would require some data treatment afterwards, am I correct?
Is it possible? Thank you very much
