Importing Data into an Excel sheet-template
I have a linux shell script that outputs data to a text file.
I can name that file anything, xxx.csv or xxx.txt I can delimit with tabs or commas, whatever necessary. I then ftp the file to a windows box where I have MS Excel 2007. I want to have a sort of dynamic spreadsheet that depends on the data in that file. That file will always exist on the PC in the same static path. The file gets updated daily. The data for some cells could change or there could be new rows. (Not new columns - new columns would mean I would have to add a column to my spreadsheet). So I want to create a spreadsheet that has all the colum headers, all the column and row spacing, colors, fonts etc. Then I want to import the new data daily (or actually when I open the sheet) and overwrite the existing data. This could be a macro (I guess it has to be a macro). Maybe something that would launch on open, or even if I just added a macro button to the sheet it would be fine. So the data would start say in cell A4. There are 10 columns, so it would stretch to J4 and there could be 300 rows one day, 302 the next and even 298 the next day. I want to make sure the old data is gone and only the new data displays. Thanks |
