Select Format sheet lets you select the file format. Sometimes it is necessary to further differentiate file than only based on the file extension. In these cases several file formats use the same file extension but the actual file data is different. This sheet shows a list of file formats that share the same file extension. Select the right file format from the list. Check Show all file types to show all file formats in the list and not only those that use the same file extension as the selected file. Read more about file mappings. If you are importing data you can read more about importing data.
The following paragraphs contain additional information about file formats where more that one file format share the same file extension or there existing two or more ways to import data from the file.
