https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Enterprise-Guide/Import-wizard-headings-issue/m-p/22069#M3488 I have a text file that is tab delimited that i want to import. When I use File - Import I follow the steps as i normally would to import a file. I selected that the first row contains the column headings (which it does) and select delimited and tab. when I go to the column options tab, it names the first column "ÿþl" and all of the following columns "NoName". This is definitely not correct, so hopefully someone can help me fix this.<BR /> <BR /> Other things to know:<BR /> -If i don't select the first row as the column headers, the file imports just fine<BR /> -the data was exported from SQL server (not sure if that's relavent or not)<BR /> <BR /> I also realize that I can just manually name the columns, but this particular file contains 68 columns, so it's quite annoying to do that, but also, i'd rather just fix the problem.<BR /> <BR /> Thanks in advance for your help.
