Saving Custom Data Tables
After you have created a custom data table, you may want to save it for future reference. You can save (export) a data table for use in another application by saving the table in a different file format. CFS 2002 supports nine file formats for exporting data tables. These formats are: Delimited Text (.txt); Comma Separated Value (.csv), Jet Engine MDB (.mdb), DBase files (.dbf), Microsoft Excel® (.xls); Lotus® (.WK1), Quattro Files (.wb1), HTML (.htm), and XML (.xml).
To save a custom data table:
Do one of the following:
Select the Save As... menu item from the File menu
- or -
Click the Save current grid button on the toolbar.
Use the Save in drop-down list box to navigate to the drive and folder in which you want to save the data table's file.
In the File name box, type a name for the data table's file.
To save the data table in a different file format (for use in another application), click the Save as type arrow, and then select the file format in which you want to save the data table.
Click the Save button. The Save As dialog box closes. The current grid is saved to the specified file.
The Save As dialog box appears.
Note: CFS 2002 tables in Excel (.xls) format with table titles and footnotes are available from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the Census Bureau.
