Using Excel 2003, create a customized log file by modifying the spreadsheet to accommodate the specific features of the activity being tracked.

For ease of analysis, it makes sense to export this to an Excel file (XLSX) rather than a CSV. XLSX files support multiple sheets, which means that all the DataFrames can be combined in the same file.

Once files have been found, consolidate, then open in Excel (or your preferred method). Due to the size of some log files, this can often be more easily said than done.
