In a similar situation, I Import the excel files, and Scan-Endscan the tables, but it will depend on that the excel files have the same format ecery time, of course. Another solution is automation.

For example the value of A3 will populate my Cost2.date field in my cost2 table. There is already data in this record in the cost2 table so I would seek for the record first.
