[LOGic] ADIF CQ DX Marathon

[Nick]

Got a blurb from K9EL.  He indicates that the excel format has to be used to submit the DX Marathon log.  It can't be just the ADIF.  So, I'm trying to understand and fit the 2008 Q's from ADIF to the spreadsheet which lists all DX entity's in order.

  Nick, out of curiosity what are you trying to do with your Marathon log that you need it in a spreadsheet?

  Hi Doug and tks.....sri to say that I can't find anything on the toolbar that gives me "import from text."  I can see the ADIF file but of course it's not in the order that the Excel wants.  I know I'm missing something, just don't know what.

    In Excel, do a data import from text.  You may have to change the file type to "all" in order to see your file.  When you do the import, tell Excel to import as "fixed width", not as comma delimited.  ADIF is just a text file with the data arranged in a certain order so all the different logging programs put things in the correct spots.

    I know I'm showing a bit of ignorance here but need some info.  How do I send my ADIF of the 2008 DX Marathon log to the Exel file showing the CQ format?  I have saved the 2008 log to my desktop but now what?

    Tks, vy 73,
