In order to create a text file compatible with the 
Metastock Downloader, it is enough your spreadsheet has the following 
column headers (first 
row):<ticker><per><date><time><open><high><low><close><vol>
 
The <ticker> column must contain the ticker 
name, let say "$INDU", "QQQ" or whatever else.
 
The <per> column must contains only the 
letter D (for daily EOD data) or the letter I (for intraday 
data).
 
The <date> column must contain the date (just 
to be sure, please format the column in Excel as YYYYMMDD). In case of 
intraday data, the date will be the same for all rows.
 
The <time> column must contain the time 
formated as HHMMSS. Such column is mandatory only if the data are "intraday" 
data.
 
<open>, <high>, <low> columns are 
mandatory only if your data are daily (EOD) data or intraday data with a 
specific interval(e.g, 5 minutes, 15 minutes....).
 
<close> and <vol> columns are 
mandatory.
 
In case of intraday "tick by tick" data you need 
only<ticker><per><date><time><close><vol>
 
All rows must be filled and no other data must be 
included anywhere in the sheet. To create the text file, select the 
File|Save as... command, and choose from the File type combobox (at the 
bottom of dialog) the CSV format.
 
Before doing that, please check in Control 
Panel|International settings|Number page that the Decimal separator option 
is setto "." and the List separator option is set to ",".
 
Save the file and import it using Metastock 
Downloader.
