Hello, I am trying to read in a data file in .txt format (created and saved under Excel) as below: In[1]:= data = ReadList["A:\\ filename", Number]; I get the error message "Set::Write: tag Times in data is Protected." What does this mean? The data obviously cannot be read into the notebook.Is there a specific format in Excel, ie; row vs. column, etc, that is better for saving data? Thanks in advance if anyone can help. Debbie Leddon
