DysfunktinaL Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Hey, been a while since I have been around.I have about 750 CSV files that I need to combine into 1. I am willing to use anything to combine them, be it SQL, Access, Excel, whatever...The problem I am running into is this... They are not all the same. Some of them are identical, but others are not. They all do however contain a few key columns (4 specificly) that I need. The first row names the column, and then all other rows are the entries. Any idea on how I can handle this? Here is an example of what I am looking at:File1Name ID Value1 Value2 Value3 Value4 Value5 Value6 Value7File2Name ID Value1 Value3 Value4 Value6 Value7Flie3Name ID Value1 Value2 Value3 Value5 Value6 Value7File4Name ID Value2 Value3 Value4 Value5 Value7So like, some of the files will have value2/4/5/6, but they ALL have Name, ID, Val1/3/7.
IcemanND Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 First, is the example minus actual data what you really have? Because that is tab delimited not comma delimited. and how do you know if values 2/4/5/6 were not in the file?
