I have multiple .csv files where the column order may change from one file to the next with also missing (or extra) columns. However, header names are consistent across the different files and the header names I'm interested in plotting always exist in the files. A very simple example of my problem using Speed as the header name I wish to plot (I actually have many files with at least a hundred columns in each file): File 1 has columns - Time, Speed, Acceleration, Distance File 2 has columns - Time, Acceleration, Speed, Distance File 3 has columns - Time, Deceleration, Speed ... etc. For my example, I am only interested in batch plotting Time vs. Speed. I can make a workbook template for File 1 and substitute data from datasets exactly matching File 1's format to produce Time vs. Speed plots without any issue. As soon as I import a file with File 2's structure, I get a plot of Time vs. Acceleration. When I import a file with File 3's structure, I get a plot of Time vs. Deceleration. Is there any way to specify columns to plot with specific header names since it looks like my batch plots are targeting certain column positions instead. Thanks for any help!
