FDMEE Cloud has several new file type formats, including 2 multi-column format options (see the image below). In this blog post we’re going to use the multi-column numeric data format option.

We only want to load values for 4 of the eight data columns, those highlighted in red. To start, we want to define our import format, selecting file type: Multi Column – Numeric Data.
