macro to apply conditional formatting

[amaries]

I have a csv file (open customer orders) that needs a few things done and I
am wondering how to/best way to accomplish this maybe with macros. I would
like to
1) Sort list based on column A (Customer#)
2) Apply conditional formatting based on contents of column K (Status of
order)
3) Subtotal column N (Order total)

I have set up conditional formatting rules (5) that colors and or crosses
out the entire row based on the status field contents. Now I would like to
automate as much as possible. Can I create a macro that will apply the
conditional formatting (how)? Or is this something that would be better
accomplished by creating a template? The csv file will be consistant in the
columns and incoming file name.

the subtotal is a a simple =sum formula
a subtotaling equ. has several options before you
ever need to think about macros or VBA

Are consolidating data in spreedsheets and the
conditional formating applied after the merge.
I really do not understand the question or concept
of why you need what you need. Could you explane
what why you are trying to accomplish this

The incoming csv file first has a top row with a report name (Open Orders).
The records come in 'Promise Date' order (column G). The final product the
mgrs want to see is Open orders grouped by customer# (column A) and sum if
the customers order totals (column N). Then colorized based on the 'status'
of the order (column K).
