This is often possible using a custom-made script, but it's not possible to say for sure without seeing the actual file.

If you're interested in hiring someone to do it for you feel free to send me such a file to [try6767 at gmail.com] and I'll let you know if I think it's possible, and if so for how much. I've developed many similar tools in the past for my clients.
