Importing and Exporting Text Files
You can import and export comma-delimited (CSV) files with Horizon. CSV files are used to exchange data with other programs such as spreadsheets and databases.
Import
You will need to set up your text file so that Horizon correctly import it. Horizon can recognize text files with 4 or 5 columns, with or without a title row as the first row. If you omit the title row, you must put the columns in the order listed below. There is one row of text for each cell in the calendar. Horizon recognizes the following columns:
- Group This is the name of group the cell belongs to. This column is optional.
- Category
- Date
- Value
- Comment
Select 'Import' from Horizon's 'File' menu, then click on 'CSV…'. Select the file you want to import. Horizon will create a new document and import the file into it.
Export
Horizon can export documents to comma-delimited files. Just select 'Export' from Horizon's 'File' menu, then click on 'CSV…'. Select the destination for your export file. The resulting file can be imported into a spreadsheet or database.
