Import Multiple Excel files and convert to IMD files

Hi there,
I require a script that could perform the following tasks:
- special purpose function that could read and import mutiple Excel files in a folder or directory,
- appends all the Excel files and return a single IMD file, the files are stored in an array,
- display the appended single IMD file into a pivot table.
Lastly, can I perform an extraction inside a pivot table? Because I could not find any area for me to perform extraction under the pivot table view, that is, I'm interested to view the total more than 2 (data field in pivot table: count) only instead of the overall database.
Appreciate to get some sample script here or some guidance or pointers on how to prepare the script.
Cheers, William

Hi William,

You can use my multiple file import script to get an idea on how to import multiple items from a folder.  The script puts all the items into an array that you could then use to append them together.  Also IDEA will create the script for you to create a pivot table.

Sorry you can't extract from within a pivot table, you will need to do the extract prior to creating the pivot table.

Thanks

Brian
