Hi,
In as much as Map may help you speed things up, the problem as stated is
unclear.

This suggests that data is already Flat. There are no sublists. Are you
operating on Strings?

The above is ill-formed. In any case data[[i]] simply becomes the ith
element of the list pointed to by the variable data and since there are no
columns to take the rest of it would return an error.

I don't know how you got this. To answer your question though, yes it is
possible to use Map and there may be other ways to go about operating on
the data. If you can, try and make a short synthetic example and post
that.
