Origin Ver.8.0 and Service Release SR6
Operating System:WinXP

Hi I am trying to write a script to import many excel files. Unfortunately origin imports many empty columns (256) so it takes a lot of time. Is there a way to define which columns to import (say 1-5). Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
jninkovic

Hi,

When you use X-Function impExcel to import Excel files, there is a variable to specify the maximum number of empty columns, emptycols.

About how to use it, please refer the below example.

impExcel fname:="C:\Documents and Settings\developer\My Documents\Book1.xls" excel:=0 emptycols:=0;

Thanks,
Shirley
