Yes, certainly. You can select column A > Data > Text to Columns. Then the method is very similar to the import wizard steps I mentioned before.
Thank you for the prompt answer Colin.

That's correct that i use the same method to open the file but not the same computer!

for the time being, I'm using my lab top, i'll check the setting of the "List separator" of the windows in the other PC and let you know.

is this the only reason for which i got the appearance shown in the screenshot 1?

regards

Jamal
