Hello, I have 2100 Excel files (.xlsx) that I need to read and combine into 1 file. I am perplexed because the first 6 lines are header information and the 8th line are the columns that are needed with the data in columns.
I need to save the first last (IceTag ID) because that number becomes the ID for all of the data in each specific Excel file. The ID can be different for spreadsheets. Line 2 to 7 are not needed. Line 8 are the column headers. The columns are Date, Time, Motion Standing (in time format), Lying (In time format), Steps and bouts. See example below. Any help in reading in multiple files and discarding some lines would be appreciated.
