Dear Don,
There is a minor issue with all those commands mentioned above. As I told, I have 30 excel files. among them few excel files have lesser rows than others. For example excel file 6 to 10 has only 2 rows, whereas other files has 3 rows as shown below.
When I execute above commands, it pasting 11th file first row along with 10th file 3rd row as given below,
Sorry for the delayed response.
Hi dineshkumarsrk,
There is no reason for you to apologize for a delayed response. We are trying to help you solve your problem. If you aren't in a hurry to get something that works, it doesn't make any difference to us.
We might note, however, that all of the suggestions I made work perfectly with every example that was provided in the first twenty-one posts in this thread. In those posts you had shown us the contents of three files and the names of twenty-seven other files. Never was anything said about the number of lines in some of the files being different than the number of lines in other files and, as you have seen, that affects the output that the script you showed us in post #1 would work and it affects the output that every single script suggested in this thread works (since we all followed your example to try to get the output you wanted).
Note that we are here to help you learn how to write code to satisfy your requirements; we are not here to act as your unpaid programming staff with continually changing requirements. Given this new information that files 6 to 10 (is it always 6 to 10, or s 6 to 10 just as an example; is it org6.xls through org10.xls inclusive or does org10.xls go back to three lines) may have different numbers of lines than other files with no prior knowledge about which files are "short" or "long", how would you propose modifying any of the scripts suggested in post #22 to get the output you want based on this new information?

Any shortcuts for doing this? I need to cut the column 4 values from File1 and paste them as column4 values of File2, but only for the (first) same number of lines as File1 . All rows in File1 are contained in File2 in the exact same order, so the cut paste should work.
File1 (with header and 3... (4 Replies)
