Hi. I am trying to convert some data so I can transfer from one software to another without the need to manually enter lines and lines of data. I have everything working except in the import on new software it's looking for names without underscore. I put those there to get me by for the time being. Now the time has come 🙂 Is there any legal characters to represent a white space? Thanks!!
