I would like to know how I could import a txt file that has thousands of delimited numbers into a dataset and apply different formulas on the imported data similar to how excel functions. For example this is the txt file data:

Formulas are applied to the number and the return values are input into a form. The return data is also used to graph.

Excel does this easily. How do I incorporate this into my application?

Loop thru the text file and insert values into a dataTable then query the dataTable with LINQ or lambda expressions. I don't understand the above format - it is a single value per line, does this pattern repeat - how many lines before repeating - are all questions you need to solve how to parse it. Columns are for the field types, number of fields per record and the rows are for the records that hold the values for each column. Once you get that solved we can help with the expression to get the results.
