Hi All,
I've been struggling for a week and is desperate to find a solution to an excel problem. I've been searching for solutions as well but unfortunately no luck to exactly what I need done in excel. I'm hoping that someone could help?
I have multiple csv files that's produced on a monthly basis. The count of files are not always the same and in each file there are columns that are file specific but some are the same as others. I need to consolidate all the files by copying them into a summary worksheet then I need to copy the consolidated raw data file into a formatted worksheet with the proper column sort.
Is this even doable? Here are the details of what I'm trying to do. I truly appreciate your help in advance.
Note: This is my first time to post in a forum so please forgive me in advance if I'm non-compliant with the forum rules.
Details:
1) 10+ csv files and collectively 80+ columns (all files are in 1 folder on my desktop or LAN folder). The number of files increases from month to month but total number of columns might increase or decrease.
2) In the csv files, some columns are common and others not.
3) Go to the summary workbook, remove previous month's raw and formatted data.
4) Consolidate current month's files (also add columns that are not common to all files) and add each filename in column A into the summary workbook.
5) Copy and paste data into a formatted template based on the column order in the formatted template.
