eXcel to DXKeeper

Greetings! New member here. k1oIq.
I'm thinking of getting involved with this programme to use in conjunction with eQSL. But first, I have an existing log... Can DXKeeper import an existing QSL database from eXcel? --ajo Why do we wear clothes, Kim asked, when it feels so good to have air all over you?

If you look at this page
there are notes towards the bottom on importing a tab delimited file which can easily be made in excel. Michael, AA5SH From: dxlab@...

Yes, but you have to do a little work to convert your spreadsheet data to ADIF. The following is a good place to start and this is posted in the FAQ section of eQSL.cc under the general questions category.
Rich VE3IAY has provided a straightforward approach to generating ADIF from Microsoft Works 97, Lotus 123 v.5 and Microsoft Excel 2002 spreadsheets. It's likely that the same approach can be adapted to other spreadsheet programs or versions. See:Ian Scott wrote: Greetings! New member here. k1oIq. |

It's no longer necessary to convert spreadsheet data to ADIF. DXKeeper can now directly import a comma-delimited file as long as it

Dave,

Thought I'd try importing as you describe below but from a tab-delimited text file (I didn't see any reference to a comma-delimited import on the linked web page). The import seems to work . . . excepting this curiousity . . . I have a column titled MODE and all the rows under it are filled with CW. It ignores the column. If I change the title to mode (lower case), it works. Wonder why? On a separate but related issue, Excel puts double quotes around the comment fields when I view the exported text file in Notepad. The double quotes then show up in DXKeeper's comment field. The comment fields are Excel formulas which concatenate several other fields. Does the concatenation operator trigger the double quotes? Thanks. Steve K8JQ aa6yq wrote: --- In dxlab@..., Ian Scott <thole42@...> wrote:AA6YQ comments below --
