[Solved] Import spreadsheet into database
Hi! How do I import the information in a spreadsheet into a new database. I know I have done this before but it has been a few years and I can't seem to figure it out. When I create a new database I thought I could copy and paste the spreadsheet data into the database but when I try to do that it pastes all the date into one cell. Any help will be much appreciated.

Took me about 30 seconds to find this, less time than it took you to register at the forum and create a topic. I am done helping here.

Re: Import spreadsheet into database
Select and copy a spreadsheet (ctrl+A, ctrl+C)
Switch to Base, don't open the table, but select paste from the context menu (right muse button) of the destination table.
Follow the assistant to map/select columns...
