You can view data files, raw data, and CSV and TSV files in tabular or comma-delimited view. You also can sort, filter, and show or hide columns in some CSV and TSV files, and edit text files you own. The information that is viewable or editable is dependent on the type of file chosen. Before you  begin, you may want to watch a YouTube video on file creation, editing, and tabular views.

1. In the Data window, find the file to view.

   If you get a message that there are no items to display, it is possible the folder or file has a special character in its name.

2. Click to open the file.

    Example

    

   • Save is available only for editable files for which you are the owner.
   • Refresh allows you to update the window.
   • Wrap Text displays the text wrapped within the window.
   • Not Editable is displayed for files that are displayed on more than one page.
     Editable is displayed only when the entire contents of the file fit on only one page (adjusted using the Page Size (KB) slider). To save changes to the file, you must be an owner of it.
   • The page slider allows you to view more or less of the file.
   • Page navigation allows you to easily navigate between pages of the file.

Viewing and customizing CSV and TSV files

In addition to the default (delimited) tab view for CSV and TSV files, files that have been defined with an info-type of CSV or TSV also display a Tabular View tab, within which you can add or remove rows, skip first lines, define the first row header, as well as sort, filter, and show or hide columns.

In the Data window, click to open the CSV or TSV file to view:

• Save is available only for editable files for which you are the owner.

• (Add Row and Delete Row), available only when the file is Editable, allows you to add or remove rows from the table.
• Skip First N Lines(s) hides the specified number of lines.

• The page slider allows you to view more or less of the file.
• Page navigation allows you to easily navigate between pages of the file.

Sorting, filtering, and customizing columns in CSV and TSV files
