Import text with Diadem ?

[jsrx]

I have an excel file with a column with text, so how can I do for importing this text with Diadem ?
Thanks !

The question is: What's the destination of your import data? DIAdem-DATA may only contain numeric types. (The date/time -format is a float-type too.)
At first you have to convert your texfiles to numeric types (integers) and then to import. Best you use the excel instructions for convertaion.

OK, thanks, I'll try to make this !

DIAdem can currently not hold text in the data area,(this will be changing) however in the mean time a variable call ExcelText1 was created when you imported this sheet. The values in the DIAdem channel "Sort" correspond to the elements in ExcelText1(x) arrary. For example ExcelText1(1) is equal to Sort, while ExcelText1(2) = Sim, and so on.

So although the text channel was not loaded into the DIAdem Data area it was loaded into a GPI variable and available for you to use in DIAdem.

Hope this helps
