If your steps are the same and always the same you could use the macro
recorder, then attach the macro to an icon for quick access. The macro
recorder icon is on the bottom left of the excel window pane.

Hello.

I download a spreadsheet workbook often online that is a DVD database.
I need to correct its structure and bring it into 2k7 form factor to
make my use of it practical.

It is located he

http://www.hometheaterinfo.com/dvdlist.htm

The file link is: http://www.hometheaterinfo.com/download/dvdlist.zip

It is a 12.7 MB file. More unzipped. 2k3 format.

What I need to do is make a small macro that converts it to a 2k7 single
worksheet file, and shift one column to the leftmost position.

I have been manually performing these tasks by manually saving the file
in the 2k7 format, then I cut and paste the column I want shifted in each
of the three worksheets labeled "a-f", "g-o", and "p-z".

The column I move is the ID column to the leftmost position, in all
three worksheets.

After moving the ID column, I then rename "atof" to "DVDs" and then
addendum the other two sections, creating a single, one worksheet flat
file database. I then delete the two original middle and end worksheets.

Are there not a few quick macro functions I could utilize to do this?
