Hi.
I haven't used Python in a few years and even when I did it was at a very basic level.
I have numerous excel files (e.g. file a.xlsb, b.xlsb) that have been populated and in column "M" there are photo reference numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 43, etc.). I have a folder with all the photos referenced in however there are almost 5000 of them and I need to arrange them into folders as per the excel file (e.g. C:\Pictures\a). The pictures are just numbered the same, 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.
The problem I have is that the numbers in the file are not sequential so arranging them manually will take a very long time. Is there a way that I can use python to read the numbers in column M, find the relevant photo in the pictures folder, and then copy those photos into a new folder that corresponds to the file being read?
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance for any help.
