The import wasn't the hard part, as you say, pretty vanilla. It was the export back to Excel that was time consuming. It involved recursive cell references, some that referenced other worksheets and one that reference another Excel file altogether.
When I tried a direct export, the system would interpret the cell references as values instead of parts of a formula. I had to parse each formula using CHR(). It also got tricky when I wanted to format the cell, say for currency. The final VBA script was barely 100 lines...
I may have some of this wrong, as it's been almost 9 years now.
