Im trto do this using python but im failing to find a way to automate this task. Does anyone have any ideas or any videos on a similar project

Pandas seems like the python tool for you.

Open up the first CSV file with Pandas as a DataFrame , apply any modifications you want, and save as a new CSV file. There is A LOT of documentation and support for Pandas, so I'm sure you can find tutorials on how to do any kind of data reshaping that you want.
