Thanks for the help to date, but I'm now stuck trying to use ImportSpreadsheet.
  

I have set up importspreadsheet to read in the data instead of import (as
suggested below), but can't find much in the documentation to help me do
anything with it. What do I do with the output from ImportSpreadsheet to define
the first three columns as the X, y and Z positions? I've labelled them as X Y
Z catch & prop in Import Spreadsheet, but now what?

I need to use the catch column as the size control in Glyph & the prop column
as the control for color in ColourMap, and have the Glyphs plotted at the XYZ
locations.

There are no connections, performance isn't an issue and there are only a
couple of hundred samples per file so I can't see any advantage in exporting a
DX format of each file. Please correct me if I'm wrong in this.
