I am very new to VBA and have found a task out of my programming abilities using VBA.
I need code that will take a text file that begins as this shown in textfile.jpg
and ends up like the following attached picture of the results spreadsheet group.jpg
I have a text file (EP-User.txt) contains records of User information like the example below:
[User]
org_id=HR
uid=JohnChen
role=employee
email_address=John@etex.com
first_name=John
last_name=Chen
job_title=Manager
country=USA
language=EN
time_zone=GMT-8
street=3
city=MX
state=NY
zip=123456
telephone=09847684
fax=23469483.....................
The fields of each User record may not appear in sequence and some of the fields may not appear in other User record. The file contains thousands of User records.
1. I need to extract the User records (only certain fields) into excel for data analysis and manipulation (fill-in missing value in certain fields).
2. After analysis and manipulation in excel, I need to export the data back to the original text file format again.
I have a .txt file which i need to convert using text to columns in excel, obviously this is simple, however my .txt file is 325000+ rows of data
Is there anyway I can Excel can cope with this amount of data, I know that my row limitation is 65536, can i spread the data across multiple sheet tabs?
I want macro which export each excel column to new text file. The data in excel file is number. The column has only 5 rows that means each new text file should contain five lines of one column. It looks simple but couldn't manage to do macro for it. I have very big data set in one excel file, and have to be splitted into text files. The file name in new text files can be any kind as long as it can be in some sort of order for each export.
View 2 Replies View Related how to word it but if someone understands then please help. I have two excel data files namely Book1.xls & Book2.xls. Both files have different data in it. Both files contain macros. When these macros run the files become **FINALIZED** version.
Originally, I get the above files in my email as txt. attachments. I then move these two txt files to my desktop in a folder called Folder-1. Then I open these files as an Excel and save them.
Basically, I need to know if two txt files are sitting in a folder-1 on my desktop. What can I do or what can I clik that....those two text files get converted into excel automatically, including running that macro I talked about in the above paragrah.
To put it differently, if I have two txt files Book1.txt, Book2.txt in a folder, how can I automatically create an excel **FINALIZED**version which sits right next to their txt version.
I am trying to convert a text imported from CSV file to a number so that I can further elaborate it.
I tried value, trim, clean but without sucess.
Cell values is -10 000,00 what I want to display is 10000.
How can i Do that.

to convert Excel file to Text (txt) file using VBA code.
I have data in range A3:C10 of Excel Spreadsheet and I need VBA code to read then write this data into text file and save as .txt file
I want to convert the excel file into text document with out changing it
file type
for example
in the wordpad i have the text document in this type
"Candy","1253563"
I want this to be open in excel and i can open in the excel using delimited option but i want only to change the number "1253563" and i can use autoofilter to filter and i want to change the number "1253693" in the excel and i want that excel should open in the format of text document without any change as i mentioned before
it should open in this format
"Candy","1253693" only the number should change and this action is repeated for many numbers
I have a file with four sheets – File1, File2, Association and LookList. File1&2 are totalled, as is Association sheet but then are checked against each other using the totals. What I need to do is the following (but I am not sure how to do it using macro…)
Step 1 - ‘File1’ Sheet – It all comes in text format. Firstly, convert all of column B=>used range (it may vary to 40k records!) into numbers and total each column.
(I know the principal behind it – have a total variable for ColB, loop through and when it finds >0 then increment buy one and output under the last cell in that column – but I do not know the macro code)
Step 2 - ‘File2’ Sheet – Again, it's in text format. Firstly, convert all of column B=>used range into numbers and total each column(would contain same amount of records
as Step1!) .
Step 3 - ‘Association’ – same steps as for File 1 (again – same number of records).
Step 4 - THEN (and I have NO IDEA how to do this!...) I need to check the File1 & File2 against Association using the lookup and return the Serial number and the Association heading that does not match on a fourth sheet.
The problem is that – for example – Field-1 consists total of more than one column – contains 3 but could contain a total of up to 6 columns! - I understand excel formula ‘vlookup’ but am not sure how to do it when it is a combination of columns and even less when applying it to this! – In fact, for a macro I am not even sure what column format the lookup list should be!
I got following Hex data in text format, I need change them to decimal,
0324 00BF 0000 0000 030C 00C6 0000 0000
0305 00C7 0000 0000 02FE 300F 040B 4753
4D4D 5352 4E4D 5343 4E31 0030 0F0A 0101
firstly I did txt to columns, then I found some data changed to scientific format which is not I wanted as I could not convert it using function HEX2DEC.
032400BF00000000030C00C600000000
030500C70000000002FE300F040B4753
4D4D53524E4D53434.00E+3100300F0A0101
if I set column data format to text when I doing Text to Columns operation then all data will be text, so I still can not convert them to decimal.
I have a macro which imports data from a mainframe dump text file and performs 'Text to Columns' on the imported data so that formula in the spreadsheet can act on the data. The code works perfectly well when I use it, but if a different user logs on and performs exactly the same mainframe dump and import macro the Text to Columns action splits the raw data in a different way and the result is that the split renders the formulae useless.
I've experimented a little and for some reason it appears that the 'Field Info' parameters which are produced when the Text to Columns function is recorded in a macro differ between users even though the raw data is exactly the same.
FieldInfo:= _
Array(Array(0, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(56, 1), Array(70, 1), Array(88, 1), _
Array(102, 1))
I have been struggling to figure this out for several days now and i don't really know where to go from here.
I have 2 columns and i need to break them up at certain points.
The attached excel file should hopefully be clear enough to show what i mean.
The first tab is how the data starts the second tab is how i want it to look.
To clarify i need to break it after each change in the first column. ie from 1 to 2.
Furthermore, i need to break the "sub groups" the second column up after 15, and 30. I will never have a number larger than 32 in the second column.
I think the excel file will clear up what i mean.
I have a workbook with 40 sheets, I want to convert column A using Text to Columns I have recored the method as below
View 5 Replies View RelatedI need a VBA code to create a Text file which should be in the form of DML (my scenario is to get Insert Statements for the Data available in the Excel) from Excel Sheet. And this has to be done by assigning a macro to command button where by clicking on it the DML text file should be generated. Even the syntax for the scenario will do.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have checked to see if this has been answered before and can not find an exact reply. My problem is that I have a combined column of address: Suburb, State, Postcode - which needs to be broken into three which not be done accurately using tet to column or fx - left mid or right. The issue is that the Suburb could be made up of one or two Words with a space between. So I can not separate using text to columns as in some cases the suburbs comprised of two words will put the second word in the "state" column. It can also not be done using Left, Right,Mid, as they number of characters differs in each line. example problem with columns to text.jpg

I've setup a macro button to sort some stockpile items from A-Z so entering quantity on hand can be done more easily. Each cell is a drop-down selection so at various times, there can be different stockpile items in the list, thus why, I setup a macro to quickly sort the list.
However, I've got some text (Select Stockpile Item) that I wish not to be included in the A-Z sort as this might put items starting with T or later at the end of the sort.
Sub SortMySpecialStockpileA2Z()
If MsgBox("Are you sure?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
Else
Range("K4:L110").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("MyStockpile").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("MyStockpile").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=Range("K4") _

.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlTopToBottom

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn the ID column of the attached excel file whenever I convert the numbers stored as text to numbers it results in a weird transformation.
e.g. an ID of 480610141001 becomes 4.8061E+11. When I do the same process in the name column, which has similar numbers, it will give the correct result following the same process.
I am converting a xls workbook into a tab delimited text file, but instead of copying the entire workbook, I want to copy the first two columns of the workbook except for the header row.
This is my code which is copying the entire workbook -
Code:
Private Sub SaveAsTabDelimited(ByVal sFileName As String)
With ActiveWorkbook
.SaveAs FileName:=sFileName, FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False
End With
End Sub

how can I achieve this in my macro. I tried using the range(A2:B100000).Select syntax, but it didn't work.
I have some text that I am having to analyze which comes out of our computer looking like this:
N/0/N/Y/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N/N
I use the text to columns function and headers above it to translate what each field is.
As I'm doing my testing if I do this once, I can keep the file open and any time I paste a similar entry in it takes care of the formatting.
But, is there way to make the file do that permanently? I want to let the other testers use it without making them have to go through the steps of clicking on the delimiter, etc.
If the value in the Discount Y/N column is equal to Y, the formula should check if the value in the Tenure (Yrs) column is less than 5.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write the contents of a worksheet to a notepad file. Also, the worksheet has some hidden columns.
I have a variable list. Each column will be 250 digits and numbers of rows will be variable. I want a macro to import a text file from a specific folder into a sheet without split it to columns. So we will work only in column A
Then macro will find B1002 wording in A1. if it is exist, it will copy the next 36 digits after B1002 wording if not then it will search A2 row. The next step will be to search and find another wording "B1001" if it finds it will replace copied 36 digits text. If it can not find B1001 wording it will go to upper row and search B1001 wording here and paste the text. This will go on till row shows #END. This means it reached the end of the list. And then macro will save this file as text file to another folder.
So macro will go to beginning to open other file in the folder and this will go on till last file in the folder.
This is the logic of the macro. Here is the sample of what I want.
Original Data: ....
I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:
1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row)
2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders
3) Put the folder name into I2
4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this)
5) Close the text file
6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)
SUMIFS with less than & more than
I found this thread which works for normal ranges
I want to Sum for Values Greater than a specific date in my formula.
This first one works for a specific date (Relevant reference in red), so say 01/01/2014
Code:
=SUMIFS(Table2[[#All],[Basic]],
Table2[[#All],[Cluster]],Table3[[#Headers],[Company]],
Table2[[#All],[Start Date]],Table3[#Headers],
Table2[[#All],[Perm / Temp / Prof / ETA]],[@Company])
Code:
To Sum for ranges >= 01/01/2014, I have tried this below based on the thread above but Excel does not accept this.
=SUMIFS(Table2[[#All],[Basic]],
Table2[[#All],[Cluster]],Table3[[#Headers],[Company]],
">="Table2[[#All],[Start Date]],Table3[#Headers],
Table2[[#All],[Perm / Temp / Prof / ETA]],[@Company])
Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes:
Attachment 257366
Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes:
Attachment 257368
Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.
I tried many ways to convert a CSV file into a formatted Excel (.xls) file via VBA. I have a file with 5 lines (header included) and about 10 columns (delimited by commas).
How can I format it via vba on button click action?
I have the following two columns, and would like to obtain for each individual Company, the corresponding Country values excluding duplicates as text in a single cell.
Company 2Country B
Company 2Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 3Country C
Company 5Country A
Company 5Country C
Company 5Country C
For example:
- For Company 2, a cell containing "Country B, Country C"
- For Company 3, a cell containing "Country C"
- For Company 5, a cell containing "Country A, Country C"
I've approached generating an array using an IF statement, as in =IF(INDEX(A1:A8="Company 5",,),INDEX(B1:B8,,)," "), which returns the following array: ={" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";"Country A";"Country C";"Country C";" ";" ";" ";" "}.
The question is: how do I get that array to produce, as text in a cell: "Country A, Country C". Note that the duplicate Country C has been removed.
There are a few "StringConcat" User-defined functions that I've found elsewhere on the internet, but they don't seem to be able to handle to conditionally generated IF Index array, which I would think is key to parsing between Countries corresponding to each Company in the list.
Programming Excel VBA Macro to do OCR (text recognition) from a prt scr screen capture image and input the text into cells. Currently my Excel file has a push-button, and upon clicking on it the macro pastes into Excel the current clipboard image I have created by pressing prt scr while in another program. The macro then crops the image to the region with the applicable text. I have to then manually type the text I see in image format into the appropriate cells.
the VBA coding to automate this? I'd like it to use the clipboard image and run it through OneNote OCR, after which the applicable text values are automatically entered into the cells. Ideally the code will first crop to the region with the desired text before it does OCR. If this is not feasible, it will need to incorporate a method (keyword search?) to hone in on the desired text after the entire prt scr image has been OCRed.
It is suppose to be that if the employee is "FT" and has worked >=4 years the return is 15. But if the employee is FT and has worked 2 years but less than 4 years then it is suppose to return 10 (these are days off) Or if the employee is FT and has worked 1 year, but less than 2 then it should return 5 days off. And all the others in the column get no days off.
I have tried to do it with structured references and with cell references I get a column of zeros!
