Benjamin,

There's a double space in the first line of your text file.

Edit: Removing that extra space didn't work. Still have the "invalid Geometry" error.

I’m pretty sure save as txt from Excel makes tab delimited.
Try copy the space paste to find and replace and use one space bar in replace field

Hi Joe,

I only found that double space in the first line of Benjamin's text file. Everything else was a single space, exactly as needed to create the Profile. I'm stumped. It should work, but yet it doesn't.

I even tried saving the Excel file as a CSV and then replacing the commas with spaces. Still didn't work.

Dear Friend,

Apart from Dave's suggestion on the spacing issue on the first row there is another issue in station 8300. You have two rows for station 8300. You need to delete/modify one station and do the import. It will work.

This is how I figured it out.

Stations are in incremental order. So going down means increasing the station value. I put a simple IF function on your excel. At 8300 it says next station to 8300 is not greater than 8300. Then when I checked it is not greater than 8300 but it is equal. This has been the issue.

Thanks

Jeewana,

Excellent! You found it! I deleted one of those stations and now it works.
