Our main corporate system produces a csv containing approx 80 columns of
data, pretty much everything you would ever want to know about our
transactions.

We need a couple of easy-to-use management reports that would require/be
based on only about 20 of these fields.

We have set this can set up the formats in Excel, no problem. The challenge
lies in filtering the csv data when it is imported into Excel. It is a real
pain to individually select all those 60-odd columns that we do not need, and
strip them out.

Is there any way of automating this, as part of the import (get external
data) process, rather than doing it manually every time we feed Excel with
the updated data?
Many thanks
