Exporting One Column To Text File
Aug 15, 2008
I've created a spreadsheet to create a text file which I can use to inport values into another device. Using CONCATENATE etc I end up with a range of cells (1 column / Many rows) that I can then MANUALLY highlight, choose copy, open the text file, paste in the contents and then save it. This works fine but as you can imagine I'd like to automate the proceedure by having excel create and save the text file for me.
From what I've seen on these forums most people are wanting CSV type files but not me. I've already got the cell contents pieced together it just needs writing to a text file, no delimiters, no quote marks, just exactly what's in the one cell on one line, it's just one column remember (H2:H1456).
I'm not bothered about appending data either, a hard coded overwrite of the text file is fine by me.
The actual file type I ultimately need is an .abk file, but like I say this is just a basic text file that's been renamed. Could Excel create this or must it have the .txt file extension?

I've been doing this excel worksheet for work; even though I've never used excel macros or VBA before.(So if this is an easy question to answer don't laugh at me. :P) (I have worked with other programming languages though.) Anyway, using a VBA manual, I've done pretty well, until now. I'm trying to make a macro that when one clicks on the button it saves the file as a text tab delimited file, but giving it the name of whatever the user put into a specific cell. (And also without closing the excel file too, so they can add more if they have to) So I've gotten it now so that it saves with the correct name, but I am unsure about how to make it save as the text file I want. (At the moment it saves as an unreadable file) Any help would be great thanks.
Here is the ...

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 am using the code below which reads and exports the data to a text file.
1) the result is written to the text file with each line in quotation marks. As I want to subsequently change this text file to a batch file is there a way of the not having the quoation marks
2) As you will see the code looks for the text file in a specific folder on my PC, is there a way of it creating it's new txt file in the same folder that the spreadsheet is located.
3) is there a way of excel changing the file attribute from .txt to .bat

I have made some macros for importing data from a txt fileand to sort the data into a sheet ready to be exported into another txt file. I have made VBA to work with "." as decimal separtor within the spreadsheet.
But, when I run the macro to export the data into a txt file (I have used the macros from this site [URL] .....) it automatically changes all "." into ","
But why?!?
I need the txt file to load data into another program, and this program need the use of "." as decimal separator - and not ",".
I'm using an European windows system.

I have about 180 Excel files (each one with 51 columns and around 30,000 rows) that need to be exported to an Access table.I'm using the routine below which is extremely time-consuming. I'm sure there is a better way to export an excel file to an Access table.
Sub ExportHistData()
Dim rst As Object
Dim cn As Object
Dim i As Long
Dim lstCell As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
lstCell = [a65536].End(xlUp).Row
If lstCell = 1 Then Exit Sub

The sheet to be exported is titled TI
I need the name of the name of the txt file to use the values in cell AE1 & Q1 from a sheet titled Project Report. eg cell AE1 contains 1783 and Q1 contains Ore Vally so the file name needs to be 1783 Ore Valley.txt
In the sheet TI, under column A, there are cells that contain the number 0. I want the export to ignore any rows which have a 0 under column A
The data from each colum in the sheet TI needs to be separated by TABs and not commas, ful stops, semi colons, colons etc etc.
Once all of this works, i need to be able to just click on cell J1 in sheet Project Report so that with this single click the txt file is produced.

I've attached 2 test files, one is the database master file containing the projects (each row represents a project, unique reference number in column A) and the other is the blank template file i'm hoping to export data into and then save down with the naming convention "column A_column B.xlsx"
Kept the test files simple but would need to modify any code to apply to much larger database consisting of many more fields etc.
Master.xlsx
Template.xlsx

I have multiple rows within a worksheet and need them to automatically save into a separate txt file. Example:
I have a workbook with rows b-z. Instead of taking each of the rows and copying and pasting it into another separate excel file, then saving in a txt format, is there a way to automate this? So that the following will occur:
Column B 950 line is one file
Column C 950 lines is another
column D lines in another txt file.....etc
I have some code listed below, however, it reads the first column cell by cell. It does not group column by column grouping all data within that column as on txt file
Sub notebook_save()
Set wkbk = Workbooks.Add
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
RowCount = Cells(Cells.Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To RowCount.......................

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.

Is there a way to export Excel (Excel 2003) into a flat file that is comma separated and also includes text identifiers, specifically double quotes (" ") around each field in a row?
The Export Wizard in Access makes that a snap but we (more than just me) haven't been able to make it work out of Excel.

After organizing my data I now need to export to a simple txt file. But I need to control to final format better then the simple "save as" allows. What I need is a simple list of in a single column, separated by a carriage return. I am working with a "small" list of addresses, and by small I mean 27,188.
Every format I try ends up with quotation marks and a strange box like symbol. What I have is a full name and 2 line address per field in .xlsx format. I also have the data separated into fields by line.
Is there any way to better control the output when exporting to a .txt file?

I have 10 rows and 3 columns or words(data). What I am trying to do is export this data one row at a time so that I end up with 10 text files. Each row needs to be inserted into 3 variables within my text file. (Variable1,Variable2,Variable3) and then saved. Each saved text file needs to be named Variable1-Variable2-Variable3.txt. End result should have 10 text files that are named corrosponding to each row of data and each text file should also have the 3 variables replaced with the corrosponding row data.
Right now I have to manually rename the text file (Variable1-Variable2-Variable3.txt) and then manually open the text file and select EDIT-REPLACE and insert the data 3 times. I have to do this for many many text files and it is becoming monotinous.

I have a Text ID Column and a Text Column. I need to save each row of the Text Column into its own individual text file on my C: Drive. The name of the file should be the the Text ID from the first column. I need this to work with different sample data, so the number of rows will vary.

I'll try to simplify what I'm trying to do without getting into too much details that might be considered irrelevant to my question.
1. A set of VBA procedures are run successfully, and the results are compiled on a single w/s "mySheet" in a single w/b "myBook".
2. I intend to repeat 1. above 1,000s of times (same w/b, same w/s).
3. Consider a single run. The results of interest on "mySheet" are confined to a range, say, A20:K40, named "myInpRange", with a 7-digit run identifier ID automatically generated and stored in cell F5, say, F5 = 1234567
4. I've successfuly performed the following tasks manually:
...a) copy range A20:K40 of "mySheet"
...b) Open a new MS Word document
...c) Paste Special as Unformatted Text
...d) Save the Word file for this run As: LL_1234567.inp (="LL_" & F5 & ".inp")
...e) Close the Word file.
...f) Repeat a) to e) above for the next run.
Q: How to code a VBA Excel macro to handle Excel & Word, run from a button on the w/s "mySheet", and to perform the tasks a) to e) above ??
In case you might wonder why I do have to go through this trouble. Well, my next set of programs are DOS-Applications, which only allow their redirected input data files to be as described above.

I have a cell in which I have the following data (for example):
<a href="http://www.trucks.com">Ford Trucks</a>
I need to export the sheet as a tab delimited txt file for import into another program. When excel saves the file as .txt, it add extra data so that the cell is represented as:
"<a href=""http://www.trucks.com"">Ford Trucks</a>"
Note the set of two additional inverted commas. This extra data interferes with the parsing of the data in the other program. I've tried formatting the cells to "general" and "text", however, it does not seem to affect the txt output.

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)

This question is mostly academic, but I do hope someone out there has an answer. I am using code to open a text file. Since the first column is always blank, I would like to start the import at column 2. I think this can be accomplished with the following
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=sFileName, Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, _
FieldInfo:= Array(Array(1, 9))
However, according to VB help file,
If you specify that a column is to be skipped, you must explicitly state the type for all remaining columns or the data will not parse correctly.
I haven't seen any problems, but I hate to use code that isn't supposed to work, even if it does. Does anyone know what problems could be caused by not explicitly stating the type for the remaining columns? Question 2: (I know, one per thread, but they are very much related. I will move to new thread if need be). If I don't know the number of columns, how can I explicitly state their type? For example, if I knew I had 4 columns, I would use:
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=sFileName, Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, _
FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 9), Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1))
What do I use for a variable number of columns?
The default type of 1 (xlGeneralFormat) is fine for all of my columns.

I tried to search the forum first and but i cant find ways to combine everything i wanted to achieve. That's why i'm posting this to consolidate all those...Sample files are attached for better understanding. I have an excel file (sample.xls) which has cell values in column A. These values will then be used to find a match in each of the text files (in this example, sample 1.txt & sample 2.txt) present in the same folder with my excel workbook. I need a macro to perform the scenarios below.
1. Say, the excel file contains a list of cell values in column A.
2. Temporarily open the first text file (sample 1.txt) as an excel workbook.
3. Search each cell value in column A for a match in the first text file.
a. If that certain cell finds a match, no matter how many it may find, that cell will be formatted with "BOLD" format.
b. If not, that cell will be formatted with GRAY text color.
4. After all the cells have been used, the first text file will be closed and the next text file (sample 2.txt) will be opened temporarily.
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4, except that, when the cell value has "BOLD" format already, it will be skipped and proceed to the next cell. That is, the grayed ones can be turned back to black color and will be formatted to "BOLD" format if a match has been found in the 2nd text file.
6. If there are other text files present within the folder, do steps 2 to 5, until all the text files are searched.

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 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.

found the following code which works for 1 workbook at a time. I am trying to save 7 workbooks at 1 time. Is it possible?
Sub SaveAsCell()
Dim strName As String
On Error Goto InvalidName
strName = Sheet1. Range("V77")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strName
It will work on the first sheet but none after that. I need to have each workbook saved with the value in cell V77. Also if that is possible, is it possible to change where the file is saved as well?
Right now I have a master workbook that will open the 7 other workbooks, paste data onto several pages in each workbook. I would like the macro to save the workbooks. The workbooks are named: 02 Tuesday, 03 Wednesday, 04 Thursday, 05 Friday, 06 Saturday, 07 Sunday, 08 Monday.
