How to divide column values of a spreadsheet into ranges in an better way?

Its a kind of vague question. I have a spreadsheet, with few hundred columns. Each column represents values of one variable which is continuous. I want to create a second spreadsheet with same number of columns but the values of all the continuo开发者_Python百科us variables should be mapped to some ranges. Ranges of each variable are different.

e.g.

Col 1   Col 2   Col 3
0.41    123     12:45
0.53    345     05:23
0.57    354     09:23
0.89    687     09:34

should become:

Col 1   Col 2   Col 3
0.40    125     12:00
0.50    350     05:00
0.50    350     09:00
0.80    675     09:00

I know that I can do it with normal if-else loops while checking column number. All I am thinking is if an additional column is added somewhere is in-between, it will force me to do lot of changes. Is there any design pattern which is generally used for this? any help is greatly appreciated.

You're right, this is a vague question. Why don't you give these columns some meaningful names ("height", "length", "weight", whatever), and maintain a set of constants in your code that specifies which name corresponds to which numbered column. That way, if the column layout changes, you just need to change a single constant.
