To set up which file type to import, you can typically do so through the settings or preferences menu of the software or application you are using. Look for an option that allows you to specify the file type you want to import, and select the desired file format from the available options. Some software may also prompt you to choose the file type when you attempt to import a file, in which case you can select the appropriate format at that time. Additionally, you can also use file extensions (e.g. .csv, .xlsx, .txt) to indicate the file type you want to import.
