# Importing and Exporting Data in Text Format

If you want to exchange data with a database that does not have an ODBC link and does not allow dBASE import and export, you can use a common text format.

## Importing Data into LibreOffice

To exchange data in a text format use the LibreOffice Calc import/export filter.

1. Export the desired data from the source database in a text format. The CSV text format is recommended. This format separates data fields by using delimiters such as commas or semi-colons, and separates records by inserting line breaks.

2. Choose File - Open and click the file to import.

3. Vali liitkastis Faili tüüp "CSV-tekstifail" ja klõpsa Ava.

4. The Text Import dialog appears. Decide which data to include from the text document.

Once the data is in a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet, you can edit it as needed. Save the data as a LibreOffice data source:

- Save the current LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet in dBASE format in the folder of a dBASE database. To do this, choose File - Save As, then select the File type "dBASE" and the folder of the dBASE database.

## Exporting in CSV Text Format

You can export the current LibreOffice spreadsheet in a text format which can be read by many other applications.

1. Choose File - Save as.

2. In File type select the filter "Text CSV". Enter a file name and click Save.

3. This opens the Export of text files dialog, in which you can select the character set, field delimiter and text delimiter. Click OK. A warning informs you that only the active sheet was saved.
