Depending on your needs, text files, CSV files, and Excel spreadsheets can be great options for storing data.

- Text File TXT - The text file is plain text. They are often created using TextEdit (Mac) or NotePad (PC). Text files are plain text. All formatting and styles are removed when you copy content into them. This allows you to copy/paste data without any formatting issues. Tabbed spaces separate spreadsheet data from TXT files.

- Comma Separated Valu File (CSV). CSV files also contain plain text. They can be opened in any text editor and spreadsheet program like Excel. You can paste data from spreadsheets into a CSV file by using commas. 

 - Excel Spreadsheet XLS - Excel sheets can only be opened with other spreadsheet programs, such as Google Sheets and OpenOffice Calc. However, they offer many formatting options, functions to calculate data, and visual presentation of data using charts and tables. The information you paste into a spreadsheet can be divided into rows, columns, and cells.

Click on your text file and click the Open button in the bottom-right corner. Click Excel under Convert To. This section is located below the heading Set convert options.
