Hey,
Need a bit of a hand getting a process working automatically. I have a spreadsheet with multiple pages to it and in each page I have a set of recorded results. What I want to do it take each of the four recorded result columns scale them and put each one in a csv with its name relating to the column name. Then I need to apply that to each of the pages in my file. I have hundreds of thousands of readings and it will take a good few hours to do the backlog by hand and it will speed up my data collection dramatically, real time results baby :D

Its probably more then just a straight macro recording, it would probably have to done in VBA problem is I have no syntax in my head :(
Chars.

have you thought about turning the .xlsx files into .csv, dumping into a DB and run straight up SQL queries? That is prolly the easiest thing I would do.

Debawv did you just speak English?

Was reminded of a scene in Good Morning Vietnam where Robin Williams
holds a conversation using just acronyms.
