I have a spreadsheet where I’m looking for consistent data. The csv file is over 7,000 lines and it would take me to long to look through each line, and I need to look at it daily. What I’m looking for is a way to limit the data, but I have no clue where to start. The only thing I could thing of would be removing rows where there where a specific number of zeros are in the row, but that’s not going to help me in the long run.
The data looks like:
JOBINIT,2,11,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
INSAUTH,5,7107,4,9343,5,7716,1,0,3,254,1,0,8,5655,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
INVPSWD,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
INSAUTH,192,440,192,440,188,450,180,450,189,447,192,440,192,440,188,45
+0,152,438,0,0,36,400,192,440
PWDEXPR,4,222,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
INSAUTH,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,5,7107,4,9343,5,7716,1,0,3,254,1,0,8,5655
UNDFUSER,1,0,1,0,3,4199,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
The Output that I would want would be:
INSAUTH,5,7107,4,9343,5,7716,1,0,3,254,1,0,8,5655,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
INSAUTH,192,440,192,440,188,450,180,450,189,447,192,440,192,440,188,45
+0,152,438,0,0,36,400,192,440
INSAUTH,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,5,7107,4,9343,5,7716,1,0,3,254,1,0,8,5655
I really just looking for some kind of idea for how to go about this, or if you have something already created I would like to look at it.
Thank you for all your help.
