Importing using the wizard is no longer an option. Now the only import is through the query function. The query functions do not allow me to consolidate data. How do I get the old CSV import wizard back that just puts data in cells and doesn't muck about with the query nonsense?

To clarify, the old text import wizard has been replaced with the Get & Transform data interface. This is unacceptable. The data does not need to be transformed. I need to import 7 CSVs with 10,000 lines each, including duplicates, and consolidate the 70,000 lines down to around 30,000, while summing the values in column B of each data set. The consolidate tool now returns "No data was consolidated."
Solution verified! Thank you! Now since it's legacy I need to find a way to get the consolidation feature to work with the new Get & Transform interface before it goes away completely.
