i only needed one column of data to go into a table so i just transposed the column into a row in excel and exported it to CSV and then just pasted it into a form i wrote that exploded the huge long string into an array and added everything from there.
not pretty but it was quick and since I only needed to do it once I decided I couldnt be bothered with a prettier way

thanks for your help though - might play with that sometime and see if I can make it work
