Thanks for the advice.

I have completed the 75% problem with the help of labview, now for the rest 25% i still need the ini file from which co-ordinates to be read. Below is the format of ini file :
[GPS Coords]
Coord1=2226.575,11955.982
Coord2=2226.583,11955.983
Coord3=2226.586,11955.985
Coord4=2226.679,11956.015
Coord5=2226.683,11956.017
Coord6=2226.687,11956.018

Also, below is the excel file from where co-ordinates needs to be extracted (excel file) :

Try this. I assumed that was Column A and B. Change as necessary

Code: 
Sub SaveINIfile()
Dim x, r As Long
x = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fileFilter:="INI Files (*.ini), *.ini")
If x = False Then Exit Sub
Open x For Output As [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] 
Print [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] , "[GPS Coords]"
For r = 2 To Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Print [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] , "Coord" & r - 1 & "=" & Cells(r, "A") & "," & Cells(r, "B")
Next
Close [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] 
End Sub

Thanks a lot Scott, it works like a charm.
I integrated my D.d to DM.m macro conversion with yours, and result was as per my expectation.

Thanks again.
