Thanks for your support. Sir, I am very much aware that, from SOUL 2.0 to Marc is not easy as SOUL export does not work. So I brought data in excel - field wise. (essential fields ) in separate excel files then I merge all different field's data in single excel file keeping base of accession numbers as unique Field. This way we made a comprehensive excel file for Marc edit
