Hello Everyone,
I am working on a project where I have to read an excel
spreadsheet with about 60 cells and rows of data that I
don't need. I want to write out a comma delimited file
with just the information I need. Is there a way to
create a excel object, open the spread sheet and then
read each row and column and strip out just what I need
to a flat file.

Any help is really appreciated.


Thanks
Shabnam

Here is a start:

The key will be able if you can identify what it is you need and what you
don't.

The reply you sent me just works with flat files. I thought to read an
excel workbook you need to create excel.application object and
excel.sheet object. How would you read the cells and rows from these
objects. Thanks for your help.
