<p class="MsoNormal">I have a recommendation when working with BAT import files in Excel. Insert a few input columns to the left of the actual data, and then drive your entire spreadsheet with formulas.
This will save you from having to constantly scroll left and right look for cells you need to fill in. You will have to exclude them when you export/save as csv. However, keeping the input columns together on the left should make this very easy. You can
duplicate the sheet and delete them, you can have two different files: XLSX and CSV, you can copy and paste into Notepad++ and CTRL+H replace tabs (\t) with commas (,). There's a few options there. Anyway, I find it much nicer to input the data this way.
I hope it helps you too.<u></u><u></u></p>
