* Choose **CSV File**. Click **Next**.
* **Name your data adapter** the same name as your custom report.  
* Click: **"File"** and **select the txt file** that was created when you downloaded the data from the custom report. 
  * **NOTE**: You must tell the computer that you're not looking for a .csv file.  Change the file type setting from "\*.csv" to "\*.\*".  (See screenshot.)  
* Click: **Open**

Next,

* Go back to **"Columns"** Tab
* Click **Get Column names from the first row of the file**.

The **column names from your custom report should appear in the window**. Each column name should be on a separate line. If you are not seeing the column names, or all the column names are on one line, something has gone wrong.
