Question : Recommended approach to consolidating relational CSV data in Excel....

Hi,

I have a number of CSVs which each contain data from a DB table. They have been created because of archive reasons. If they are required to be queried then I am trying to understand the best way to query them in Excel. I appreciate for more regular querying one should use MS Access.

Currently my plan is to load each CSV into a seperate Worksheet and then let the user cross reference via ID#

ie

WS1: OrderHeader
WS2  OrderItem linked to OrderHeader via Order#
WS3  OrderAudit linked to OrderHeader via Order#

Thoughts???

Thanks,

Sam

Hi,

well as far as I know the maps API will find the closes address to the given location. I guess you would have to do a 2-phase seach.
1. Get the nearest address to the current location (http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/v2/services.html#ReverseGeocoding)
2. use google maps to search for "{zip} airport" and in my case I allways found the airport.
