Tools

Uploading Bulk Files in FSPT

Reminders

Uploading multiple entries? A few quick tips before you begin:

  • FSPT accepts tab-delimited (.txt) files only

  • Templates can be downloaded in Excel or Google Sheets, but must be saved as a .txt file before uploading to FSPT

Need help preparing your file for upload? Expand the section below for instructions on how to save your file and select the correct template.

After completing your template, save the file in the correct format based on your next step. The table below shows how to save a working copy versus an upload ready file.

For Working Copies (not for upload)

Use this option when you’re still actively working in the file.

Recommended if you are:

  • Still entering or reviewing data

  • Planning to return and make changes

  • Renaming or organizing files

Path: File → Download → Select Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) → Download

Path: File → Make a Copy→ Rename → Choose folder

Path: Click Download icon

For Upload-Ready Files (.txt only)

Use this option when your file is finalized and ready to upload into FSPT.

Recommended if you are:

  • Finished entering or updating stipend data

  • Ready to upload data into FSPT

  • Submitting a final version of the file

Path: File → Save As → Text (Tab delimited) (*.txt)

Important notes:

  • This step converts your file into the required upload format

  • Once converted, do not reopen and re-save the file in Excel (this can change the format)

  • You can upload this .txt file directly into FSPT

Path: File → Download → Tab Separated Values (.tsv)

Good to know:

  • Google Sheets exports .tsv file, which FSPT accepts

  • The downloaded file is ready to upload as is

  • No additional formatting is needed

Path: File → Save → Select .txt file format

Use the table below to download the correct template. Choose the file format based on whether you are working in Excel, Google Sheets, or uploading a text file (.txt) to FSPT.
