Greetings,
Although I changed the text file properties, the data on Tableau now looks like below (with dots as separators and no capital letters and spaces in column names. How can I fix that?
Thank you in advance

Hi Hasan!

Thanks for reaching out.

Sometimes, adjusting the region will do the job. Otherwise, you could create a new cell in which you replace the "." with a ",".
Nevertheless, as long as the numbers are visually displayed correctly in the charts and dashboards, I suggest you proceed you work towards completing the course (at least). After that, you can devote more time on adjusting such peripheral features.

Hope this helps.
Best,
Martin
