I have headers within a CVS import that have 3 attributes.
1. Some times they are present, sometimes not
2. When they are present, they are always spelled the same
3. When they are present, they can and do appear anywhere in the header order.
So let's say my CSV file, first row looks like this:
So my first goal would be to import that so that the headers line up in proper order (mapping and ignoring gaps)
In Excel:
The pre-defined sheet it's going into has different header spellings, but they are always in the same column order. That spelling CAN change if it's necessary to absolutely match the CSV header spellings?
And this would be good to here. But if we can...
The Excel sheet would have all of the missing gap categories that weren't in this particular import, but do appear in others. So we would need blank/empty data for those gap columns missing in this import.
I completely understand it's challenging to create missing data, even if it's empty data, so if I can just accomplish goal 1, lining up the columns, I can merge the data into earlier imports by hand.
Thank you for any help!
