# Select a symbol (see [[Operating_Symbol_List#Selecting Symbol(s) in Symbol List|Selecting Symbol(s) in Symbol list]] section). If the selected symbol contains quotes with the same timestamp as in the file, they'll be overwritten without warning. Make sure the symbol's price scale matches the price scale of the input data file. The program always uses the symbol's price scale when importing.
# Make sure the file you wish to import is a 1 Tick, Minutes or 1 Day. If a file contains bars, but has no static time increment, this is a Tick\Volume Bar file and must be processed using [[Mapping_ASCII|ASCII Mapping]].
# On the '''File''' menu, click '''Import Data''', or click the '''Import Data''' http[[File://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/toolbar/QM/05_DataImpQM_Import.png ]] icon on the toolbar.
# Select '''ASCII''' or press '''Ctrl+I'''.
# Indicate the '''Path'''. The path can be typed in, pasted from the clipboard or selected using the mouse. The selected path persists after converting the file so on next operation the previous path will be used by default. If it is necessary to move up a level, click the '''Up''' icon. To change the method of displaying files click the rightmost icon '''Views''' and select an option from the drop down menu.
