Create Excel macro to convert raw data to specific data points

Completed Posted Apr 7, 2016 Paid on delivery

Convert a standardized Excel CSV file into more usable data. Create a repeatable process (macro) to output specified statistics from this variable-sized file. Bonus target of being able to combine multiple files, or results created from past files.

I have a monitoring system that records data every two seconds in the form of a CSV file. I have to save the file manually, so the file's size and number of rows can vary widely (sometimes many days worth of data in one file). I need to repeatedly turn these CSV files into meaningful statistics.

The calculations I need include:

Duration between spikes

Duration of spikes

Spikes per hour

Average spikes per hour

Spikes per day

Average spikes per day

Average duration of spikes per hour

Average duration of spikes per day

Average duration between spikes per hour

Average duration between spikes per day

Peak/minimum spikes per hour

Peak/minimum spikes per day

Peak/minimum duration of spikes per hour

Peak/minimum duration of spikes per day

Peak/minimum duration between spikes per hour

Peak/minimum duration between spikes per day

The file has a lot of excess data that can be removed, including a header and duplicate data at the bottom of the file. Columns B and D in the top set of data are the useful data.

Column D is the time. A 'spike' is when the value of the data in column B jumps above 200 (or reads as OL). A 'duration' is the length of time column B's data stays close to the same. 'Duration of spike' would be the length of time the data is above 200 (or reads OL). 'Duration between spikes' would be the length of time the data is below 200.

Because these files represent historical data, I would like to make it as easy as possible to combine data from multiple files to view long-term trends, and to be able to report on specific time frames that may span multiple files.

The results need to be easy to graph.
