Hello -
I have a .csv file that I need to create a report from but I'm not 100% on how I'm going to go about doing it.
This is the problem: the .csv is nothing that I have control over, the layout is standardized but it is not optimal as far as my skillset is concerned.
In cells A1 through A9 are the filter information (date, type, ranges, linetype, etc). The header is row 10 (about 25 headers) and the data is under that. Somewhat like this
criteria
criteria
criteria
criteria
header1, header2, header3, etc
data, data, data, etc
data, data, data, etc
What do you think would be the best plan? Should I just take the .csv into Excel and deal with the headers that way OR should I write a query that pulls the actual data out from under the criteria in Access? If I do it in Access, is there a way to just have it "refresh" - because the end result is going to be an excel spreadsheet (most user friendly thing I could do for the person)....
I'm just kinda standing here looking around lost right now and am hoping to get some insight from people on the forum.
Thanks!
