Hi @binuacs

 

I'm unable to attach file here. It doesn't support data file. I have copied the file content below. The row column is DC4 and Quotes delimiter is þ.

@Abhinav_1911 put the delimiter as \0 , then it will import all the records to one line, then try to split with the text to column tool
