Hi,
I'm looking for a solution for this case scenario.

I have an excel file with in a column some names and some csv files, named with same names.
I'm trying a way to extract the rows from the excel file and append them to the proper csv file.

For example, Excel file:

Name,Col2,Col3,Col4
Pippo,x,x,x
Pippo,y,y,y
Pippo,z,z,z
Pluto,a,f,b
Pluto,a,g,b

And following csv files:
Pippo.csv
Col2,Col3,Col4
a,b,f
x,b,v

Pluto.csv
Col2,Col3,Col4
y,s,b
y,s,g

Result should be
Pippo.csv
Col2,Col3,Col4
a,b,f
x,b,v
x,x,x
y,y,y
z,z,z

Pluto.csv
Col2,Col3,Col4
y,s,b
y,s,g
a,f,b
a,g,b

My knowledge of VBA is 0, but I can try to work on it if it's possible to solve this case.
I'm fine also to buy an add-in if exists.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
So if you run it on Test file, you see the accent correctly in the new row?

This is how it appears to me

Ps. I use ";" as csv separator

I use "," as csv separator. But that doesn't affect the storage in the text file.

This is how it appears to me:

If you get a chance, try another computer.

I did nothing, but like after shutdown everything it's working properly.
Mystery.

Thank you very much! 🍻

I've another request: is there a way to update just some cells value, if the row identifier is already existing?

Existing rows in csv
id,field2,field3
1,pippo,pluto
2,abcd,audhs

Rows to be edited
1,dumbo

Final csv
1,dumbo,pluto
2,abcd,audhs

If it's possible, we need to think how we could integrate it in our flow.
We could have two options:
1) same macro, appending or uploading rows depending if the id already existing or not in the destination csv
2) two different macros, one for appending and one for updating

How is it possible to do with VBA?
Both options are feasible?
Thanks
