Probably being a bit dim but do not see what you mean by filter it. I have
to say i thought all the data was the same in each column but obviously not.
i am trying to avoid opening it for speed, but if i have to so be it. Yes
code would be gratefully received. The file is a daily dump so it changes
every day.
I can get the files as .csv which they were before and i was not aware of
this issue then. If csv will that help or will i have the same issue. I may
not be able to get back promptly so please excuse delay if there is one!

with kind regards
