Importing to specific non-contiiguous cells from CSV file

[AEngineer]

Is there a way to set up a CSV file with a cell address so that text from each CSV record goes to the ID'd cell? I'm sure it can be done with VBA, but I'd like to avoid that if I can.

Each line of the CSV would have, presumably, three values: the row and column IDs and then the text to be put in the cell

My goal is to take data from a database and then import it to Excel in a format that allows seeing the locational relationships between items (in my case it's courses ina curriculum - a given row is a subject area and the different columns are terms the c ourse is usually taken.)

I'm afraid the only way I can see this being done would be with VBA.

Though you could possibly use VLOOKUP.

That is import the CSV file as it is and then on another sheet use the ID's to pull the data into the correct location.
