I have my first year project coming up and we decided to do a low accuracy tracking system.
This is what should happen in it.
Ill be using an RF transmitter to send a "code", eg - "B1" - Bus 1 to an arduino uno.
The arduino will then pick this up via a reciever. (i got it working up to this point only)
Once the arduino receives the code, it should then send a similar "code" in the form of "b1_s1" - bus 1 stop 1, to a certain column in an excel sheet. I searched all over the internet for about two weeks now. What i need excactly is to be able to send this data via gprs ( i got a module) but even USB would be fine now.

Not sure what code is but, if data will do, try this.
This is reasonably doable with a high level scripting language (Perl, Python) and OLE. I only fiddled with the OLE stuff once about 15 years ago but had it working with just a couple days of effort -- was pulling call data from a PBX and building fancy executive reports with it. Anyway, below are some links to look at or otherwise try searching for OLE tutorials for the programming languages you're capable with.
