  	<title>Question: Cleaning up imported data in excel using VBA.</title>
  	<link>http://ask.metafilter.com/79230/Cleaning-up-imported-data-in-excel-using-VBA</link>	
  	<description>Cleaning up imported data in excel using VBA. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I&#8217;m trying to clean up some muddy data that is the result of importing some ACD reports into Excel. The ACD reports are text files, and basically I want them to be formatted into a nice looking spreadsheet so I can do some calculations with the data. I&#8217;ve found &lt;a href=&quot;http://ite.pubs.informs.org/Vol3No3/Isken/MuddyDataTutorial.php&quot;&gt; this tutorial&lt;/a&gt;, but I&#8217;m looking for some more general VBA tutorials that deal with cleaning up data that has been imported into Excel.</description>

  	<description>How does the data need to be cleaned? Specifically, how does it look after importing, and how would you &lt;u&gt;like&lt;/u&gt; it to look after importing? Is it that the data are being imported incorrectly, or that you need to perform calculations post-import, or do you just need to &amp;quot;pretty up&amp;quot; the results?</description>
