selective deletion of rows

**sabutler4** · 05-01-2013, 04:16 PM

Hey all,

I am new to this programming, but I want to make what seems to me to be a complicated script. I get a CSV file with a lot of information. I want to selectively delete sections of it based on names (the people on my team), which are in the row, or based on tasks, also based on row. So I want it to recognize specific entries and delete everything else, and then run a formula based on the numbers I have left to produce a number in a new row.

Sum up: CSV data, delete entire columns (always the same), delete selective rows to leave only my team members, run a simple formula to get the number I actually want.

Any help? Thanks!
