Excel Missing Data Text Import Wizard
Excel Missing Data Text Import Wizard
Problem
After install Office / Excel 365 - The user no longer sees the familiar method for importing webquery report data. Instead they see the options below.
Solution
The solution involves opening the Excel options and finding and re-enabling the legacy import options. See below.
Click on the "File Menu" and on the bottom left corner you should see the "Options" selection - click this:
- You should now be viewing all the options for Microsoft Excel - in particular we want to select "Data" - the third option from the top on the left shown below:
- Once you click "Data" - not on the right on the bottom is a list of checkboxes under "Show legacy data import wizards"
- Check (at least) the "From Text" legacy import option.
- Press the "OK" button.
- Open a new workbook.
- Navigate to the "Data" menu to active the Data Ribbon options as per normal.
- Choose the "Get Data" - the first option on the left hand side.
- When the dropdown menu appears - notice there is a Legacy Wizards Option - select that and you should see the option for the old import which proceeds as you'd expect. (Shown below)
Update 2021 – If after enabling this or when opening another file in Excel you do not have the option to choose "Legacy Wizards" (its greyed out) please follow the instructions from Microsoft below:
