Automated Import Of User Chosen File
Sep 23, 2009I am trying to do an automated import, the file I'm importing comes out of an application and in its properties just shows "file" so I can't use the standard text file methods. I originally recorded a macro for the automation and have tried to amend it.
I think it is falling over in the Destination stage, or maybe I need something instead of where the ". Name =" would normally go?
Private Sub All Files()
Dim sFilename
sFilename = Application _
. GetOpenFilename("All Files (*.*), *.*")
If sFilename <> False Then
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=sFilename _
, Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A4"))
'.Name = "All Files"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
Creating A Macro To Send An Automated Email Through Lotus Notes
Oct 15, 2009The following line of code is part of the great work that this forum did in creating a macro to send an automated email through Lotus Notes.
I have a small tweak that requires the Body of the message to exist on sheet other than the one where the macro is launched.
The originial code had:
Body1 = Replace(Join(Application.Transpose(Range([by9], [by18].End(3))), "@") & "@@Thank you,", "@", vbCrLf)
I tried:
Body1 = Replace(Join(Application.Transpose(Sheets("LookUp Sheet").Range([by9], [by18].End(3))), "@") & "@@Thank you,", "@", vbCrLf)
But the body of the email is not being copied.
Am I putting the calling the Sheets reference incorrectly?
The routine works perfectly if the body data comes from the sheet where the macro is launched?
Automated Import Of Multiple TXT Files?
Jan 9, 2014I import into my website a standard .csv file that contains product details from my supplier. Columns contain info such as RRP, Wholesale Price etc and rows for each product. For some reason thats only known to my supplier the text descriptions of each of the products are held on a seperate .txt file, in a separate folder with the .txt filename recorded one of the columns cells, one for each product. There are 1000's of products, each with its own .txt file such as 38675.txt, 37828.txt. As you can imagine to copy and paste into each products cell or to manually import each .txt will take the rest of my life.
how I could automate the input of the diferent .txt contents into the required cells.

Code to then delete the last xml file imported would be good too.
Macro To Import .DAT File
Dec 20, 2006I would like to have a macro that will allow me to browse to the desired file and import the data into columns. I have the macro working to the point of allowing me to browse, select the file, and pasting the contents into the active sheet.
The things that I need help with are:
1. Getting the data to paste into a specific cell instead of A1. Currently the code is
CELLS.SELECT
ACTIVESHEET.PASTE
I would like the data to start in A7.
2. Getting the file parsed into columns. The format of the .DAT file is static and only has 4 columns. Currently when it imports, the entire record (row) all of the data is in the same column. I would like it separated into individual columns if possible.

Sep 20, 2012I have 400+ workbooks in a folder. If they are all .xlsm (macro-enabled) workbooks, how can I import a macro (.cls file) to a particular sheet (sheet1) in each workbook using VBA so that when a user on another machine opens one of them, the macro works? Right now, I have this code to loop through all workbooks; I only need the import function to go in the middle. Copying and pasting or importing manually 400+ times is just plain unrealistic!

Speed Up A Macro (text File Import)
Jan 13, 2010Attached is a workbook that takes an imported text file, inserts rows with text.
It is SLOW, you can watch each line being inserted with the text, I would think with such a small sample dataset it would be much much quicker.
Information: See attached xls file.
On sheet1 is the imported data, sheet2 is a copy of the imported data so one can copy and paste to sheet1 as needed with out re-importing for test purposes and only for this query. (Sheets2 thru 3 are not used otherwise).
There is a command button on sheet one which will run macro "aaa". If you run this you will see how slow it is and exactly what it is doing.
I am simply looking for a way to speed this up, I have some files that are 10 times the size of the sample data and they take 10 or more minutes to run.
Macro To Import Data From Text File
Jun 11, 2014I've never actually had a reason or need to use macros for data import or manipulation. At the moment I'm trying to work on a modeling problem which will output the data in the form of a large text file. The data is divided up using 1000 energy bins, and 1000 timing bins for each tally (unique set of output data) like in this file [URL].....Unfortunately because of the applications for the data I can't reduce the number of bins, and the software being used for the modeling will not provide a more convenient form for the output file.
How to create a macro that can extract this data from the output file and import it into a designated excel spreadsheet. It would be preferable to import each set of tally data from the initial output file into it's own spreadsheet, but as I said I have no experience using macros and I'm not even sure where to begin in making something that would work. or even a basic source for examples

VBA - How To Import Selected Text File To Temporary Worksheet Using Macro
Aug 5, 2013Below is the code I currently use to do the following which creates service reports.
When you click on the command button you can choose any XML file you want to import. This file is copied to a temporary worksheet where i selectively choose cells to populate textbox's which later populate my reports. What I want to do is the same exact thing but with a text file. Not all text files are the same length so it needs to be able to have a range. Here's my working code.
For Each SheetName In Array("Maintenance Data Sheet")
With Sheets(SheetName)
.Range("B127") = ""
.Range("U127") = ""
.Range("AJ127") = ""
.Range("AV127") = ""

Locate CSV File With Open File Msgbox And Import Columns From CSV To Worksheet
Oct 28, 2011Actually i've downloaded Tracking report of my SPO and this report is on 4-5 csv files (1 file per week). I have to gather data from these 4 files into one Worksheet. I have to do this with command button on my worksheet; with Open file dialogue box (i want to locate the csv files).
CSV files are something like that (I need only first 4 columns):
ABCDE1Name MSISDN Date Location MapLink 2M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 20:36:18" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 3M.

Import Text File Into File Where Rows Exceed Excel Row Limit
Jun 3, 2009I have a workbook with many spreadsheet named Sheet1, Sheet2 and so on. Each sheet is filled completely upto 65536 rows. This data is being picked up from a CSV file. In this file there are sites with each site there is a assciated set of data. What happens is the data that extracts data does not differntiate between sites and when it reaches to the end of worksheet it splits the data into next sheet. So I am trying to create a macro to check each spreadsheet starting with the last sheet in the work book for example last sheet in the workbook is seven it should go to sheet6 and if there is a blank row after row 64000 it should cut all the rows and move them to sheet7. Then it should goto sheet5 and do the same and keep on doing it until it reaches sheet1.

Msgbox Macro For Automated Vlookup
Apr 6, 2007I am writing a macro for people at work to use to automatically vlook-up data from another spreadsheet.
I wanted to base it along the use of a msgbox as they are not the most tech-savy people.
I want the msgbox dialogue to go something like this -
Which spreadsheet do you want to pull in data from?
The user browses to the file they want
Which columns do you want to transfer?
The user types in the columns
Which columns do you want them pasted to (in new sheet)?
The user types in the columns they want to paste to
and then macro does the vlook-up.
Autofill In Macro: Get A Function (sum) Of Several Cells To Be Automated In A Monthly Spreadsheet
Feb 10, 2009I am trying to get a function (sum) of several cells to be automated in a monthly spreadsheet. I can get the function to work, but how do I get it to Autofil? The syntex seems to call for a range, which will be different every month. I can't figure out how to loop it, so I thought autofill would work.

Feb 7, 2008I would like to automatically update a 'yearly' database file with info from a file that is changed on a daily basis.
The daily file that i use has info like date, truck number, delivery stops, weight.
the database file has the similar headings.
at the end of each day this daily file is saved. I would like to have the info that is entered into the daily file automatically plugged into the yearly database file into the next available group of cells with respect to the salesperson.
This is kind of a generalization but i'm hoping to just get pointed in the right direction. If something like this involves vba then it will be beyond my ability and i'll have to do it manually, which is fine
