Importing a Q(x,t) heat profile

Hello,
I have a text file of a heat rate as a funciton of position and time (Q(x,t)) in the form of a 59x52 matrix. The first column is the x position and the following columns are measurements at t = 0, t = 10 etc up to t = 500 (see attached txt file). I want to set up a heat transfer model such that a volume follows this heat profile at the proper positions/time slices. What is the easiest way to import a 2D function like this and have the heatsourc enode cycle through the time steps properly (assuming I have stet up the solver to follow the same time steps etc.)?
Any help would be appreciated!
