How To Copy First Two Columns From Worksheet Into Text File
Mar 29, 2012
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
[Code]...
how can I achieve this in my macro. I tried using the range(A2:B100000).Select syntax, but it didn't work.

I want to copy a bunch of data from a text file and paste in into an excel worksheet I have open. I want to paste it at the end but I don't know how large the data range will be each time so I can't select that size range. I have this code so far:
FileToOpen = Application. GetOpenFilename("Text Files (*.txt), *.txt")
If FileToOpen <> False
Then
Workbooks.Open FileToOpen
Else
Exit Sub
End If
Cells.Select
Selection.Cut
Windows("myfile.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select 'THIS IS THE OLD CODE FOR THE FIRST IMPORT
ActiveSheet.Paste 'I NEED TO REPLACE THIS WITH THE CODE FOR APPENDING
'OR PASTING AT THE END OF MY RANGE

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)

Actually 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. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 19:36:26" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 4M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 16:39:58" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 5M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 15:37:23" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 6M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 14:37:05" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com"
and my Worksheet is like that (With a command Button):
I want to import first 3 columns of csv file on first 3 columns on my worksheet; leave 2 columns blank and then import the 4th column... now for example i have done importing data from 1st csv file and the data is on 50 rows.. i click the command button again, locate the 2nd csv file.. do the same thing (import 1st 3 columns, 2 blank, then 4th) --from 51st Row-- and so on...

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))

What I am trying to do is to write a macro that will automatically copy six columns from worksheet (Sheet 1) to another worksheet (Sheet 2). i.e. ‘Description of Project’, ‘WBS Code’, ‘Rate’, ‘Employee Name’, ‘Premium’, ‘Invoice’, ‘Status’, ‘Total Cumulative Hours’, ‘Total Cumulative Amount’ from Worksheet (from Sheet 1 to Sheet 2)
The problem arises as I know the names of the columns to be copied in Sheet 1 (as details above) but they can be in any order in sheet 1.
In additional the columns ‘Total Cumulative Hours’, ‘Total Cumulative Amount’ are total columns so when they are copied from ‘Sheet 1’ to ‘Sheet 2’ their values should be copied as opposed to the formulas

I have about 50 CSV files in a directory named C:POSTAL. Each file has about 4000 records with three fields, Name, Address, Phonenumber. I would like to find some way to combine them into one large CSV file named ALLRECS.CSV so that other parts of the program can open that file and search it by Phonenumber, so I can display the Name and address on the screen. Obviously it is too large for Excel, at the moment. In old DOS you were able to use
copy *.CSV ALL.CSV"
to combine all the CSV files into one. Every now and then I want to delete the old ALLRECS.CSV file and replace it with a new one, as we update the phone numbers in the individual 50 files. For example I would like to use a button so the user can simply update whenever they wish by clicking on it, deleting the old and adding the new.

I have a worksheet with data in columns AW to columns QZ. I want to be able to copy a range of columns into another worksheet. The Columns AW to QZ have the same headings repeated every 10 columns. e.g. English, Maths, Science, Art & Design, Humanities, PSHE, History, ICT, RE and Attendance. Each block represents a different time period.
I want to be able to copy all the columns headed one subject (e.g. English) into another workbook. I used the following code to open the worksheet and paste the data into it, but there are so many columns for the 10 subjects that the code is too big to run so I need to shorten it and i don't know how to.
Sheets("On Roll Data & Levels").Select
Range("AF2:AF99").Select 'KS2 English column
Application.CutCopyMode = False
[Code]....

I am copying a sheet out to a new workbook in order to save as a CSV file. I was wondering if there was a better way of doing this than the code below which uses ActiveWorkbook to determine the newly copied sheet.
Sub test()
Dim OutputFile As Workbook, InputFile As Workbook
Dim sDD As Worksheet
Set InputFile = Workbooks.Open("H:TestTestInput.xls")
Set sDD = InputFile.Worksheets("Data Dump")
sDD.Copy
Set OutputFile = ActiveWorkbook
OutputFile.SaveAs Filename:="H:TestTestOutput.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV
End Sub..................

I have this macro I recorded and pieced together from info I found on the net. It works the first time you run it but then it dies because the next new workbook is not "book1" what I would prefer is to have it save the new workbook as the value of sheet2 F2 and "Product Bulletin" so it would look like "##### Product Bulletin" but I don't know how to write it.

I have a workbook with 20 worksheets. I want to start from any worksheet and run a macro that will copy some columns (A:E) from another worksheet called TABLE1 into columns I:M of worksheet I was originally in. I don't want to specify which worksheet I am in when I start as they are all called different names and I want the generic macro to run from any sheet. I simply want the macro to register the worksheet I am in when I run the macro as the reference sheet, and copy columns/data from TABLE1 into the correct columns of the worksheet.
I would then select the next worksheet - run the macro again - and it would copy the same columns from TABLE1 into the worksheet I am in. I know the following is not right, but what I have so far is =
ActiveSheet.Select
Worksheets("Table1").Select
Columns("A:E").Copy
ActiveSheet("I:M").Paste
this successfully goes to TABLE1 sheet and copies columns A:E but does not go back to the sheet I was originally in - I don't know how to code so it knows what the starting sheet was - it tends to either fail or copy the columns back into TABLE1 sheet.

I want to read data from Notepad into Excel. I found this code on the net and have been trying to modify it for my needs:
Sub ImportText(FileName As String)
Dim X As Long
Dim FileNum As Long
Dim TotalFile As String
Dim Lines() As String
Const DataRowStart As Long = 1
Const DataColStart As Long = 1
FileNum = FreeFile
Open "C:...data.txt" For Binary As #FileNum.................
This pastes the contents of each line into 1 cell but I want to paste each value into a seperate cell. So in the attached data.txt there are 5 records each of 2 lines. For example in the 1st record I want to paste 05-693-1900 into 1 cell then 0040 in the cell to the right of that, Town A into another cell, 000000 into another cell....and so on. For the 2nd line it should be 000000000033 into one cell, AA28816 into the adjacent cell...and each remaining number into a seperate cell. I also want to leave 3 blank lines before going to the next record.data.txt

I have a folder that has a bunch of text files in it with numeric names (they are store numbers 2, 3, 165, 188, etc...). I need to open those files (in excel), run a macro on them (this portion of the macro has already been created), and then save them with the same name as the txt file but in an xls format and close. It would be great to have the whole folder process automatically but I am willing to start small. Further, I'd like it to not ask for a filename, and I don't want to see the SaveAs dialog box. So far I have been able to get the macro to run through the my processing of the text file all the way to the SaveAs portion, but the code in my macro opens the SaveAs box and puts the filename of the txt file in the file name box in quotes with the txt extension. Below is the code.
Sub Macro3()
sFile = Application. GetOpenFilename( _
fileFilter:="Text Files (*.txt), *.txt", FilterIndex:=1, _
Title:="Open Workbook")
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
sFile, Origin:= _
xlWindows, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:= Array(Array(0, _
1), Array(5, 1), Array(26, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(39, 1), Array(46, 1), Array(51, 1), Array _
(58, 1), Array(75, 1), Array(87, 1), Array(91, 1), Array(97, 1), Array(99, 1), Array(111, 1) _.....................

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.

I am trying to save a worksheet as a txt file. The worksheet has a range of data with a variable amount of rows in column A only. It generally will look like:
A*B*C
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
where each row of data is in a single cell.Whenever I save it, however, it adds extra tab deliminations in each row after the data, and it adds rows with no data (sometimes just 1, sometimes many).
I am positive that no cells in columns B-n have data in them (even just a space) and no rows after the last intended have data.
Why are these extra rows and columns being inserted? How can I save a txt file that literally has no other spaces or rows or deliminations other than what's intended?

The attached file "Temp.xlsm" has been provided to me. I need to generate two files from it - 1) csv 2) a text file in a certain format. It should basically look liked the attached file "InFile.txt" which is an input file for a modelling tool. The arrays and struct strings need to be within brackets and it only contains inputs. Outputs don't need to be generated.
With the code in "Temp.xlsm" so far I have been able to generate attached file "Temp.txt". The only missing bit is the formatting of arrays and structures.
Basically for row7 in "temp.xls" , if it is
Xls - In
Struct_Start - (
Array_Start - (
Array_and_Struct_Start - ((
Struct_End - )
Array_End - )
Array_and_Struct_End - ))
and members within these need to be separated by commas.

find attached an example of the spreadsheet I am working with. Please bear in mind that this is a much simplified version of the version I am currently working on (which needs to have 1000 lines). What I am trying to achieve is allow my team to enter rows of data into the spreadsheet in a format that they will be familiar with - then hit the button on the sheet which will then take a copy of the second sheet (which looks up against the first) and spit it out in a .txt file ready to be uploaded into our computer system.
The main priority that I need to fix is that when the .txt file is opened in notepad it contains a huge amount of blank data rows at the bottom - I assume that it is taking accross all 65536 lines into the .txt where I only want the rows that have data in them in the .txt. At present our computer system will not accept the .txt due to all the blank rows (its limit is 1000 lines).

I have a text file with no discernable format ( can't import into excel) that is too large to put all the data into an excel worksheet. This file is made to print out on a network printer.
I don't need all the info in the file, I would like to specify a variable, search the text file for the variable, then specify the amount of rows down to look for the data value and input the result into an excel spreadsheet.

For some reason the following Macro won't work:
Code:
Sub ExtractDataTest()
Dim FilePath$, Row&, Column&, Address$
'change constants & FilePath below to suit
'***************************************
Const FileName$ = "Dxo.xlsx"
Const SheetName$ = "Open"
[Code] .......
I get a run-time error '52' on line ("Bad file name or number"):
Code:
If Dir(FilePath & FileName) = Empty Then
And when location is 'C:' it works and I don't get an error.
