Notepad to Excel - Data Transfer
You can use Power Query to import the data as it seems you did, but at the end, instead of loading to a table, select "create connection only" and "Add to the data model". This way the data will not be visible in the worksheet but is available in the memory for data analysis using pivot tables.

Yes, that worked when importing the data to Excel using a 'Data Model' - thank you!
However, I am having difficulties manipulating the data in a Pivot Table to get the info I need - I am looking for sum of values however I can only get the count as "it is not a supported calculation for Text Data types"
Do you have any thought on how to overcome this issue?
Many Thanks,
Alex
