Along with Excel and Open office, you can also import a CSV or TSV file into Multiples.
Creating a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) TSV (Tab separated Value) file is straightforward. Both formats are used to store data in a tabular format, where each row represents a record and each column is separated by a comma or a Tab space. Here’s how you can create one:
1) Using a Text Editor
a) Open Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac). On a Mac, set TextEdit to plain text format (Format> Make Plain Text).
2) Enter Data:
a) Each row is a record
b) Separate values in a row with commas or a Tab Space.
Examples:
CSV format:
12V,5A,DC
12V,10A,DC
TSV format:
12V 5A DC
12V 10A DC
