Dreamweaver Tutorial: Importing Tabular Data

This Dreamweaver tutorial will show you how to import tabular data into a Dreamweaver table.

This Dreamweaver tutorial will show you how to import and export tabular data that has been created in another application such as Excel or other like programs and saved in a delimited text format. Any data that has been saved in a delimited file format, such as tab, comma, colons, or other delimiter, can be imported into Dreamweaver and formatted as a table. You can also export a Dreamweaver table into a text file, with the contents of adjacent cells separated by a delimiter. You can use commas, colons, semicolons, or spaces as delimiters. When you export a table the entire table is exported into a delimited text file.

Dreamweaver Tutorial: Importing Table Data

Because tables are best used for displaying tabular data, it's not surprising that Dreamweaver has an easy way to import such data. The data needs to be in the form of a delimited file such as a comma or tab delimited file. These are files that include the data separated by some character, such as a tab or a comma, or another delimeter.

To import tabular data into a table, place the insertion point where you want the table to appear.

Choose File > Import > Tabular Data or Choose Insert > Table Objects > Import Tabular Data.

Or from the Insert Menu > choose Insert > Table Objects > Import Tabular Data.




The Import Tabular Data dialog box appears. Click the Browse button to select the delimited data file. From the Delimiter pop-up menu, choose the delimiter character used in the data file. Your choices are Tab, Comma, Semicolon, Colon, and Other.

In the table width section, choose "Fit to Data" if you want the table to be just as wide as the data, or "Set to" if you want to specify the width of the table in pixels, or as a percentage of the screen width.

You can also enter values for Cell padding, Cell spacing, and the table border. You can also choose the format for the text in the top row of the table, which is usually a header row.




Click OK, and Dreamweaver reads the delimited text file and inserts it into your page as a formatted table.
