Hello joemiller,

Thank you for writing in.

I have provided the link to the microsoft site that discusses importing .txt files into Excel.

thanks Zach

is there a way to have ninja download the data directly to an excel file instead of defaulting to a notepad file?

Hello joemiller,

Unfortunately this is not supported. Historical data exported from NinjaTrader use .txt files only. Perhaps the following link will be helpful.
