Import Data Or Lookup
Mar 3, 2008
I am trying to import data from an external source file (Excel) into an Excel sheet that will get uploaded into a db accounting system.
The source data varies month to month in the number of rows and need I to import 7 columns.
The upload file will be saved as a text file for the upload.
I tried to use Import External Data, but since the rows vary in size (anywhere from 1 - 2000 rows) I had to create a named range for the entire column. Upon saving this caused all rows beyond the last row of data to have quotes in them which will kill the upload.
Is there a way around this with the Import External Data, or is there a better way through some combination of INDEX, MATCH, INDIRECT or the like?

I want to be able to run a macro that will export some of the data from a worksheet called Generated Report into another worksheet called Matrix. The data will be taken Generated REport and grouped into sections of the worksheet. These sections will be defined by the BRID value.
The Data that i want to export will be from the first 5 columns within the Generated Report(note there are other columns which data is not required from).
The following columns will be exported from Generated Report -
BRID,Requirement, Bug Description, Bug ID and Alt Bug ID.
BRIDRequirement Bug DescriptionBUG ID Alt Bug ID
PQ115 PQ115-Login Bug Description text xihllloloj43712 123
PQ116PQ116-Landing Bug Description text ghghghgoot 43713 126
For Matrix
The data will be imported into Matrix worksheet into the following columns as part of the row headings
- Requirement, Description, Bug ID and VF Bug ID.There will also be other columns (outlined below) which i will use to manually enter data
The data will be grouped and imported into the relevant section by its BRID eg PQ115, PQ116 etc.
I want each section (marked by BRID number)to be separated by row headings.
These row headings are to be generated after populating all data within each BRID number.
When the data has been populated in each row there is a column called 'Status' which contains drop down list boxes which can be assigned.
The default status will be set to 'To Do'. The complete row headings are displayed with Output from Generated Report underneath
BRID Priority Requirment Description BugID Alt Bug ID PC UpdateNotes Actual Result Type of DEfect Test Status Tested by
PQ115 PQ115-Login Bug Description text xihllloloj43712 123 To Do
BRID Priority Requirment Description BugID Alt Bug ID QC UpdateNotes Actual Result Type of DEfect Test Status Tested by
PQ116 PQ116-Landing Bug Description text ghghghgoot43713 126 To Do
So far the macro that i have been using allows me to locate the data for each specific BRID in Generated Report and copy into the corresponding BRID section within the Matrix. I have to repeat this step for each new BRID and i want to be able to whole automate this process.

I am trying to use lookup function to lookup for data in another table (we call it table A). Unfortunately, whenever the code is not in the table A, Excel will return the data from the previous row.... is there any possible way to prevent this... in another word, if the code does not exist in the table A, I want Excel to return 0 or some other figures.

here is an example....
(this is on a sheet called Summary)
----A--------B --------C------- D
1Names----At Bats----Hits----Batting Average
2Tom-------38--------31------.816
3Derek------19--------14------.737
4Joey-------40--------28------.700
5Chris-------40--------27------.675
6Chuck------37--------24------.649
Using the LARGE function, Excel has created a list based on batting averages(on a separate sheet called Line-up). It looks like this.....
---A----------B
1Names----Averages
2 -----------.737
3 -----------.700
4 -----------.675
5 -----------.816
6 -----------.649
The problem I am having is figuring a way for Excel to also bring the corresponding names (after using the LARGE function to create the line up list).

I have a very large spreadsheet of customer information(I call it the master spreadsheet). Each row contains only 3 things: Account number, product bought, Price
Later I receive the money from the customer for that product(the pay sheet) that contains the exact same thing in the same order: Account number, Product bought, Price paid.
What I'm trying to do is compare the two spreadsheets so that when i receive the pay sheet of cusomters who have paid with the amount it will deduct it from the master sheet.
So it should compare account numbers when it finds a match then it should subtract the amount paid (column C) from the master spreadheet price column(column C also).
sometimes customers don't pay the right price so it has to be a subtraction so I can see if it was over paied, underpaid etc.
Right now I'm still doing it manually combining the two documents sorting it by account number and checking for matches in column A (account number).

I'm attempting to import around 200 (and growing!) separate text files into Excel. I am using the formula below to import the text file and then using a separate macro to select the information I need, copy it into another spreadsheet, and then run the import macro again.
However, I have a problem in that my import macro gives me 'Run-time error '1004:
Application defined or user defined error''. At first this wasn't a problem as the information is pasted into the spreadsheet despite the error anyway. However, now that I am looping the macro it is obviously causing more problems as it prevents the loop. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows of a work-around or can spot an error in the coding to resolve this!
The code below shows is for the import macro only:
Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String)
Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim TempVal As Variant
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim NextPos As Integer
Dim SaveColNdx As Integer

I'm wondering if I can use external data in an excel spreadsheet without having to import all the data. I basically need a persistent connection with the external data and I want the excel spreadsheet to get the item descriptions by using the item number as the user types in the item number. Writing out the descriptions is killing me and I have all my products in an excel spreadsheet already. I really need someway to link two separate excel files together. One with data and one with user input that searches that data as I type in the item number.

I have a simple macro importing a .csv data file to a worksheet every 30 minutes.
When the macro runs an Import Text File dialog box displays.
What do I need to do to have the macro run to completion without the dialog box interruption?
Sub RefreshHourlyData()
htime = Now + TimeValue("00:30:00")
Application .OnTime htime, "RefreshHourlyData"
Sheets("H1Updates").Select
Sheets("H1Updates").UsedRange.Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
Range("A1:A1").Select

In my workbook I have multiple sheets but I'm attaching a very simple workbook to demonstrate what I'm trying to accomplish. In my "Lookup" tab/sheet. I want to have known Latitude and Longitude data that will exist in columns A&B. Columns C & D will have address numbers and Street Name. I would like my lookup formula to find the longitude and latitude data from my "lookup" sheet, when the matching address information is typed in, in my 2009 sheet. I have to keep the street numerics and street name separate on this worksheet as well. I believe I'll need two separate lookup formulas as I need these formulas to start in cell G4 & H4 in my "GeoCoding1" sheet. Is it possible to have four columns of data to be viewed in a lookup formula? I tried this formula in cell G4 (GeoCoding1 sheet)

I am trying to import data from different spreadsheets "about 100" to a principal spreadsheet which will have all the centralized data. I included the principal spreadsheet layout and a sample of two detail spreadsheets. The information that I want to import is from column B 1 to 5 from the detail spreadsheets and put into the principal spreadsheet from row D to G.
Is there any way to import this information automatically, like creating a macro or something similar.

I have a workbook that contains an 'AllData' sheet. That sheet has 6 columns titled "category, keyword, bid, advertisers, search vol, online". Each category has its own worksheet and i want to put the data for each category onto the corresponding worksheet. I am having a difficult time describing this so I have attached a brief example. I have to do this for 145 categories so I would much prefer to do it automatically rather than manually.

I have several of the attached files that come in every week for me to process. I would like to be able to put all of them in a folder and have the highlighted columns copy to one master file and eliminate all the extra blank rows. I also need it to sort by salesman with all of their sales in the different catagories grouped together. I am not sure if this can be done given the way the salesman's names are not on each line with their sales.

I have several files from different departments that I have to extract sections of data from and compile into one central file for reporting.
I am very new to VBA but would like to set up a button so that I can import data from closed files in different departmental directories. I have recorded a macro and got it to work if the file is open but I can't seem to get it to work if the file is closed.

I'm trying to pull in data from another Excel workbook which gets updated on a regular basis. Using the Import External Data fucntion in Excel I created a query which pulls the data from the original workbook into a tab in the workbook I'm using. The issue I'm having is that not all of the column headers get pulled in when using the Import External Data function. I tried typing the column headers in myself but they disappear again after refreshing the data set. Any ideas what is causing the issue?

I have a TXT file that is properly format for a nice print out but not in any fashion to work in an excel or access file.
My txt file looks something like this
Header info Row 1
Header info Row 2
Header info Row 3
ACCT# Value Descripton ~ Part number
Customer Name ~ Vendor Name
Customer add1 ~ Vend add1
Customer add2 ~ Vend add2
Custom city, st, zip ~ vend city, st, zip
Repeat about 5 or 6 more entries
do a page bread and repeat the headers and then 5 or 6 more entries
I want to automatically copy the entries and place the data into Row 1 of Excel starting in Column 1 through Column 12
Then the 2nd entry would be in row 2 etc

I'm trying to import data into my sheet with formulae like this in row1(Columns A:I): ='F:Dir[File.xls]Sheet'!A2.
The files I'm importing the data from all have 50.000 rows and 9 columns, so I copy the formulae downward 50.000 times. This generates an error ('Not enough memory'), not surprisingly. I've also tried to do it in steps by way of VBA; first two thousand, copy and paste values, next two thousand etc. But that doesn't work either.
Does anyone know of a solution to this memory problem or a way to work around it (without opening the files with the data in them).

I need to import a massive spreadsheet into QuickBase. It will have close to twentyG records when(if) I can do this thing.
The table i'm importing into (Groups) is a details table which carries the 'Many' attribute in a M:N relationship.
There is a column in the spreadsheet (Groups) that is distributed over several columns:
UserID---------------Groups
=====================================
12345---------------SPE-UID, SPE-PRE, SPR-DDR
34567---------------ADR-NNB
56789---------------NNI-ZIY, HII-PRE, SPR-DDR
In order to import into QuickBase, I need these data to be normalized:
UserID---------------Groups
=====================================
12345---------------SPE-UID
12345---------------SPE-PRE
12345---------------SPR-DDR
34567---------------ADR-NNB
56789---------------NNI-ZIY
56789---------------HII-PRE
56789---------------SPR-DDR
Can Excel create a normalized arrangement like what I have above without my having to manually work this? It would take days if I had to.

I’ve got a question regarding import of external data in excel. The workbook I am conceiving at the moment does have a database query from another excelfile(a report from my business system) via the standard Excel functionality and it works perfectly fine.
What I can’t figure out is how to re-direct my query to any file/path I choose.
At the moment I just replace my original file with a new freshly updated one but I am stuck with the original path and filename or else it won’t work.
