Documentation

Definition

Indicates whether you want the system to handle multiple successive delimiter characters to be treated as a single occurrence when importing values.

Use

This feature is mainly recommended when importing from text files or from the clipboard (as opposed to from spreadsheets). Use this option only if you are certain of the following:

• Not all rows contain an identical number of delimiters and fields
• Delimiters were only used to arrange the columns correctly for printing purposes
