Summary:

When you import a comma-delimited or tab-delimited file into Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows Graph by using the Import Data command under the File menu, the information may be imported into a single column. Many cells’ worth of data will be packed into a single cell. The commas or tabs will be included as part of the data rather than used as separators.

Comma-delimited or tab-delimited data files must have a CSV extension on the filename to import successfully into PowerPoint Graph. If the file does not have a CSV extension, PowerPoint Graph will not know what protocol to use when importing the information. CSV stands for comma-separated value.
