[Qgis-user] Fwd: adding a CSV delimited text layer

[Charlotte Whitham]

Don't panic Marc! Although I completely understand as I did the same last week (using QGIS 2.0.1 and Mavericks OSX).

There appears to be issues with Microsoft Excel and Mavericks and creating csv and txt files. 

The only way I found around it was to make my .csv file in OpenOffice and it worked perfectly! 

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Charlie

What if you specified a custom delimiter and used comma? I'm wondering 
if something has changed in your file....

Can you share it? or is it sensitive?
