Hello,

I received a file from the national library containing ISBN barcodes. The file suffix is .dta. I can't open it on my MacBook Air. I've looked through the available answers and I can't find anything that helps me.

Can anyone give me useful instructions?

Thanks in advance,
Micheline.

Configuration: Macintosh / Chrome 57.0.2987.133

      Hello Regcal,

      My issue is not resolved. There is no indication anywhere on how to open a .dta file.

      Micheline.

      Hello,
      If we want it in spreadsheet format, we can just change the extension to .csv directly in the file name, then open it in a software like Excel or OpenOffice by choosing the appropriate separators.
