how to convert rctdt file?

Question

how do you convert rctdt file to (preferably) excel? can't open it with anything!

Perhaps file was an export from another software program. However, I cannot remember the software.

Hi! If the file extension is .RCTDT, it’s not a standard Excel format, so conversion depends on which app generated the export. First, try opening it in Notepad, if you can read column-like text (commas/tabs/semicolons), rename a copy to .CSV or .TXT and import it in Excel via Data > From Text/CSV (choose the correct delimiter).

If it’s unreadable “binary” text, Excel won’t be able to parse it directly. Check the file’s Properties > Details (sometimes lists the originating program) or open the file in a text editor and look at the first line for a vendor/app name, then re-export from that original software as CSV/XLSX.
