Geochemistry Import Formats

The import formats supported by the Geochemistry system are as follows:

  • "ASCII file" – any tabular ASCII file, which includes Excel CSV format files. The ASCII file import wizard allows you to describe the data in the file.

  • "Clipboard" – use this if the data has been placed on the clipboard in an ASCII file format. This is intended to allow you to select the data from a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel and copy the data to the clipboard. This option will create a temporary ASCII file of the contents of the clipboard and use the ASCII file import wizard to let you describe the data.

  • "Database" – the data is contained in a common Windows database format, such as Microsoft Access, or dBase compatible files. A Wizard will allow you to select the data to be imported.
