How do I create a tab-delimited text file?

Using Microsoft Excel:

  1. Open the File menu and select Save As....
  2. In the Save as type drop-down, select Text (Tab-delimited) (*.txt).
  3. Click Save. If warning messages appear, click OK or Yes.

Using Google Sheets:

  1. Open the File menu in the top-left corner.
  2. Hover over Download.
  3. Select Tab-separated values (.tsv, current sheet).

This downloads the currently selected sheet as a .tsv file.


My teacher names were reversed during import (First Name and Last Name swapped).

Correct your file and import it again. The system matches by TeacherID and updates the First Name and Last Name fields accordingly.
