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.
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 am gathering data over several sheets and need to export it as a.txt file.
The problem is that in excel the data reads 1,2,3,4 and when I export it or save as or open and paste to the resulting data reads "1", "2", "3", "4,".
How to I get the txt file to not have the ""'s?
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'm using Microsoft Office 2003 and have tried everything I can think of to strip the formatting from data I exported into Excel from the internet. I've tried DATA / TEXT TO COLUMNS, Formatting, LEFT, RIGHT, exporting to NotePad and back again... nothing works?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAfter 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'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.

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 also need this to be able to work with excel files that contain thousands of rows.

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.
Our unique identifiers are from SF.com... they have created unique Account ID's.
Comp Name Unique ID
Company A - 5102AA
Company B - 5102Aa
The problem:
Excel does not recognize the capital A and the lowercase a as being different. I need to pull this data out and bounce data across tables for analytics.
The Question:
Is there any way I can get Excel to recognize 5102AA and 5102Aa as being DIFFERENT ID's?
I have a spreadsheet with unique identifiers.
I would like to add a column from another spreadsheet which also has unique identifiers - but some may be missing and there may be some missing so cannot simply cut and paste over
Merging the two sheets by this unique identifier?
I have a problem with a spreadsheet my colleague at work has designed. He has entered all the names into it as Mrs A Jones, Mr P Smith, Mrs S Pilkington-Smyth etc. I need to sort these into Alpha order using just the surname. macro or a formula to count backwards until I get a space and then strip this off to allow me to sort it.

I have a sheet with employee attendance (in hours attended per session) at professional development. Each row in the sheet represents one employee-session. The key columns are as follows from L-R:
Employee ID, Provider, Date
Note that if an employee has attended multiple sessions, each is represented in its own row.
What I would like to do is have each row represent an employee, and have an individual column for each session. This way, if an employee has attended multiple sessions, I have their hours of attendance all in the same row.
So far, I have figured out how to transpose each unique session into its own column header, and I have entered a VLOOKUP function to get the hours of attendance for each session in its respective new column. But these are still spread out over separate rows for each employee. Again, I want to essentially collapse these rows into one row per employee.
I am a hobby programmer trying to automate data entry into SAP. With GUI scripting switched on, i believe it is possible to get the unique identifiers of any field or control on a SAP screen. I am wondering if there is a dll or some mechanism whereby i would be able to get a tree structure of control identifiers for a particular screen so that i would not need to go through each control individually.

I’m having some problems writing a macro,
I have a spreadsheet with 2 columns. The first column is the index number (unique identifier) of the second column’s data that will repeat itself as many rows as needed. Let me try to exemplify it:
Column A (index)Column B (text)
1 AAA
1 BBB
1 CCC
2 DDD
2 EEE
3 FFF
3 GGG
3 HHH
3 III
I’m trying to write a macro that will merge the text of each identifier in the first row it appears. The result I’m looking for is:
Column A (index)Column B (text)
1AAA
BBB
CCC
2DDD
EEE
3FFF
GGG
HHH
III
I already know how to make the merge, but I can’t get the logic to make it go through each row and merge the contents, since the number or rows for each identifier varies.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI used Excel to take inventory of the items in my store.
I have two columns that I would like to export into my point of sale program.
They are, "product code" and "inventory count". When I try to copy them into my pos system it won't work because I would have needed to hit the enter or tab key on the keyboard inbetween the two fields. So if I were going to enter it all by hand I would just type the product code, hit enter or tab and then type the quantity.
Is there anyway to make Excel export an Enter key press or tab key press inbetween the two columns? If I can't figure it out I will have to do it all by hand. (over 2000 items)
I was wondering if there is a way to export specific data from the workbook into a text document. I would want it to extract each worksheet name, and the contents of 2 specific cells.
So the text document would look something like this:
Sheet1name ContentsofCellM1 ContentsofCellN1
Sheet2name ContentsofCellM1 ContentsofCellN1
Sheet3name ContentsofCellM1 ContentsofCellN1
Sheet4name ContentsofCellM1 ContentsofCellN1
And so on for each worksheet.
Or if a text document can't be done, just create a new worksheet with the above extraction.
