It does not sound like you are too far off the mark. If the code works then
post it and we can take a look at it. A few questions thought. How many lines
of data in the CSV file? I understand that it could vary from file to file
but a ball park estimate would be good. Do you have any formulas which refer
to the data you are manipulating?

I am new to using VBA in Excel. I am using Windows XP running Excel 2002. I
have a .csv file which has been converted to Excel. I need to delete several
columns that are non-contiguous, i.e., Columns A, B, D, G, H, I and M. In
addition I need to format some of the columns in order to display their
contents correctly. I was able to record a macro using the macro recorder
and it works, but the macro runs very slowly. I there a more efficient way
to accomplish these tasks? Any and all help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
