I am looking to import data in text file to Excel sheet. Here is the main catch - All the data are not of fixed length and are in multiple lines as in the example below.
Text File:
ID001 Dr Dang 01012011 Male
USA Married 123
Below is how I expected the data extraction in Excel:
ColumnA ColumnB
CardID ID001
Name Dr Dang
DOB 01012011
Sex Male
Country USA
Status Married
Pin 123
How to insert the column dividers manually--for importing a fixed-width text file into excel? The files I'm having to import consist of dozens and dozens of columns.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy data looks like this - it's a text file that I import into Excel.
What I'm looking for is operations that require welding, as indicated by the "Weld:" in Row 61. If it is a weld operation, I want to know the time (121.705) and the Operator involved (Opr 2 - Row 64).
I'm simply using an IF statement in a loop to extract these specific cells:
Range("N2").Select
Do
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(MID(RC[-13],11,5)=""Weld:"",LEFT(RC[-13],3),"""")"
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(0, -13))
Because I don't know how to write "real" code, it does a similar loop 5 times. Once to pull the sequence number (the first number), then the time, then I have 3 separate columns looking for Operator 1, 2 or 3, respectively. Once those 5 loops are complete there is a pivot table that summarizes the sequences for each operator.
It works fine, but it's slow. Some of the text files have 10,000 lines in them.
I am having a problem importing fixed width text files with VBA. I created a user form for a dept to import a number of reports we get as text files into Excel. I imported each line into 1 cell (Column A) in Excel and then used mid functions to split out the columns. Everything works fine on my PC. However, when I use other PCs to import the same files (either off the same shared drive or the PC hard drive) the columns are not splitting in the correct places. Does anybody know what could cause this. Since the columns are splitting based off a fixed number of characters, I'm assuming Excel is somehow distorting a character count while opening the text file. I did notice that if I try to import text files saved on one of our shared drives, they do not import correctly on my PC either. However, if I copy and save the same text file to any of the other shared drives or my PC, it imports with no problems.

I have created a sample of the desired results on a tab called "Low Level Results".
I have already created a macro already which extracts data from the text file, but this gives me a high level view and the results of this is on the tab "High Level Results" ( which you might be able to adapt)
Please find attached two files,

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.
Extracting data from an excel file, the data needed in lies in one column.
in this line
<GPSPosition pntRef="GPS_Auto_0080" wgsLatitude="33.334329659885" wgsLongitude="44.405736558207" wgsHeight="27.615921">
i need to get a table with three columns shows
wgsLatitude, wgs Longitude , wgsHeight
33.334329659885 ,44.405736558207 , 27.615921
etc
and get rid of all other information
this is an example of the how the file look like
---------Column N -------------------
</Feature>
</GPSPosition>
</GPSSetup>
<GPSSetup id="GPSSetupID_18" GPSReceiverDetailsID="GPS_1" antennaHeight="1.660000" stationName="GPS_Auto_0080">
<GPSPosition pntRef="GPS_Auto_0080" wgsLatitude="33.334329659885" wgsLongitude="44.405736558207" wgsHeight="27.615921">
[code].....
seems from above that there are too many data not needed the only thing need to be exracting is one lies of GPSPosition Line.
I have been trying to work this out by looking at other posts (mostly concerning Binary Access) but can't figure it! The source text files I am using can vary in length from 4,000 characters to well over 100,000 characters. However the data I am looking for always starts 40 characters from the end of the file and is 10 characters long! I need my macro to pick out this data and store it as a string (so it can be added to an array and exported to a worksheet later)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to download an Excel file from the internet and then extract data out of it. The problem is that I don't get any errors, yet the file downloaded is only 1kb in size. The extraction bit works, but the file is empty. The actual file is size 350KB.

The code below looks at file names in column A and then goes to a folder and opens and copies the data in range c2 -lastrow from each file and pastes the data into sheet2.
how I could add to the code so that it also inserts the file name in column c?
It would make it easier to track the data in column B.
VB:
Sub CopyFromFile()
Dim fPath As String
Dim lRow As Long

I have attached a sample workbook. The list of file name is in sheet 1. An example of the output is in sheet 2. The data in column A is dummy data generally spans 100's of rows not just 10 as in the example.
The purpose of the code is to be able to put a list of file names in column a in sheet 1 and extract data from those files in a folder. The data extraction works fine. The reson for adding the file names is so that I know what file the data came from.
I had VBA run a third-party program ("HYD") using data listed in my spreadsheet. HYD produces a textfile and I want to extract a number from that log (line 58, columns 6-10 to be exact).
I started with

but I don't know how to have it skip down to line 58 or which function to use to extract the number I want. I've read through tons of help files and forums but none of them treat anything as simple as scrolling down to specific lines.
The entire subroutine up to that point is as follows: ....
When I export data from .csv or .tsv file to .excel file then all the preceding zero's disappear and the code 0010 display's like 10.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to set up an automated process to open an existing .xls file, extract the data from specific cells located in that file and insert it into a totally different file that I have preformatted to accept this data.
Example scenario:
If I have "that_file.xls" and it is unopened, but it contains data in cells "A2 thru F2" that I need to extract... then I have "this_file.xls" , which is open, and set up with all my calculation cells and a specific layout (lets say it has cells "D8, E9, F10, G11, H12, and I13"). I want to be able to add a button to "this_file.xls" to run a macro that would open a file search window where I can select "that_file.xls", and then it will automatically extract the data from "that_file.xls" into "this_file.xls" as follows:

I need to import thousand of txt files into 1 worksheet keeping the file names as data. Each txt file has 2 columns :
1 0.65914
2 0.65945

I am trying to develop a code which extracts the data from text files inside a folder (Folder test in my desktop) into one sheet. The Macro is in the workbook “Text Extract” which is an excel 2007 file. The data of each text should be copied to Sheet1 of this workbook one below the other. For testing purpose I have kept only one text file in the folder and was trying to copy the data from the text data extracted sheet to Cell A1 of Sheet1 of workbook “Text Extract”. The code works fine till copying the data, but shows below error in the line “Selection.Paste”:
Run time error 438: Object doesn’t support this property or method.

I have a text file which is attached as "rawdata". It contains records of something (let's call it temperature) at different times on different days. My goal is to display a graph of temperature versus time so that I can visually analyze trends. I have hundreds of these files, all of different lengths. it is very important that I automate this process as much as possible.
Detail: (Here I describe what I have done so far; if this is inefficient or unnecessary, feel free to tell me) I open Excel 2010, click File, Open, and select the file that I want to parse. It is a TXT file, so the Text Import Wizard comes up. For step one, I select Fixed Width. I select File Origin: MS-DOS (PC-8). On step 2 of the wizard, I create column break lines to place all dates in the far left column. The next column contains the first column of numbers before the first dash (-). The next column contains only the dash - I will later select "ignore this column" to eliminate them. The next column contains the time stamps. I continue adding column breaks in the wizard until all of the data are parsed into columns in the same manner.
In step 3, I format the first column as "date (DMY)". The columns with the dashes I select "do not import". Everything else is "general". I click "finish", and the resultant workbook is attached, called "import".
Now, as to what I want to do: I want to display the "temperatures" as a graph vs a date/time axis. The reason I find this difficult is because the temperatures and times are not in neat columns, but are in 4 columns that go in a left-to-right and top-to-bottom progression and are broken up every few lines. (I am interested only in numbers that are displayed immediately to the left of a time-stamp. Therefore, the "record #"s should be ignored. We can delete the rows that say "record #" if can be done automatically.)
