csv into excel education

[Guest]

Please, any advice in order to accomplish this.

Need to import csv files into excel.
Three categories of data from 40 locations (120 csv files) come in once a week. These files need to jump into a single spreadsheet in order for the data to be dispersed into many other spreadsheets.

Where/how can i educate myself in order to accomplish this?

Thanks for any help!!

Open a file in Excel
Go to DATA - TEXT TO COLUMNS - edit as needed

The only thing you need to keep in mind is that Excel is
limited on number of lines (65,536) of data you can hold
on a single spreadsheet.

Can you just open the CSV files up one by one and then
copy and paste as needed into your excel spreadsheet?

You could. Excel reads CSV files. The trick is that one
line of data from a csv file could have multiple columns.

Ex. CSV FILE

A B C D E

When you open this in Excel it will take all the columns
into one.

Ex. Excel

A B C etc.
