Hello, first time poster here...
I've a question regarding the import of Excel data. I'm going to be creating a flat file on a mainframe, copying it down to a PC and using Excel to import it. I have a template that has cells and calculations associated with it. Now, what I would like to do is to have the mainframe prefix a record with a row / column coordinate, for example:
A1,Data for Cell A1
B1,Data for Cell B1
A2,Data for Cell A2
... etc.
This is a simple example, but the program on the mainframe will output the cell address based upon some rules as it rolls through the data. How can I translate the prefix into a cell adress telling Excel where to load the value? I don't have a choice, the data is used for auditing and has to fit in certain places.
If you could point me to some functions that would do this, I would be grateful, my knowledge of Excel is fairly limited.
TIA,
DG
