Paste With Text Import Wizard In VBA
May 3, 2006I am pasting query results from WinSQL into Excel and use 'Paste' and then, from the little Paste Options icon, 'Use Text Import Wizard'. I choose tab delimited and then reset the decimal separater using the 'Advanced' button on step 3. Since I do this daily I would like to create a macro to do it all for me, namely paste what I have already copied to the clipboard using the appropriate settings. Recording doesn't reflect the steps I executed. How can I call the text import wizard from vba with the clipboard contents as input as opposed to a text file?
View 5 Replies View RelatedImport Text Dialogue/Wizard: Select File Once For Multiple Queries
Aug 7, 2006I am importing a text file that has a lot more than 256 columns. The data will be updated weekly with a different text file. I know how to get past the 256 column limit when importing a text file like this. This link explains the method I am using to import the text file. [url] Since I am importing onto several sheets I get the dialogue box asking me to choose a file to import from for every sheet when I use RefreshAll. The same file that is used by the first sheet will be used by the rest of the sheets. Each sheet just imports a different section of columns from the text file. I want to avoid choosing the same file 30 plus times (once for each sheet) when I click refresh all. Is there a code that would allow me to choose the file for the first sheet, and the other sheets would follow suite?

Apr 14, 2013Is there a way to reset the defaults for the text import wizard? I occasionally import a number of files in CSV format, but the wizard defaults to tabs as the means of separating the text. I would like to reset the default on the second page of the wizard to commas, not tabs.

View 12 Replies View RelatedBypass Text Cells While Using Sum Feature
Dec 15, 2012Is there a way to use the =SUM(--:--) feature, but to bypass any cells that contain text instead of numbers that are in the range?
I'm currently using this formula:
=SUM(N(I31)+N(L31)+N(O31)+N(R31)+N(U31)+N(X31)+N(AA31)+N(AD31))
...to only add up the number cells, as next to each cell, there is a column that has text (the reason for the "N(--:--)" is because depending on criteria, some of these cells print blank).
I just added 50 more columns that need to be added to the formula listed above and I will need to repeat this a dozen times. It will be much easier (and tidier) to be able to do something like this:
=SUM(N(I31:CL31)EXCLUDING CELLS THAT CONTAIN TEXT.
Text To Columns Wizard - Stopping It

Import Multiple Text Files & Copy Each Import
Jan 29, 2008I'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
Text File Import With Text To Columns Splitting Same Text Differently
Nov 21, 2007I 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))
Bypass Save Warning
Sep 17, 2009my main file goes out and opens another worksheet, modifies it in its existing environment, copies it to a tab on my main file then closes the other file but not save it. Even though I did those things when I was recording the macro, those steps are not coming through.

Apr 4, 2012I am working on a script that allows a user to enter a number (days), and an automatic process performs based on that number. The inputbox has a default value. I have everything except for one issue--we would like the default value to be accepted and the inputbox close if the user does not click OK in say 20 seconds (in order to keep the process from tying up the rest of the process). Is there a way in VBA to click "OK" in the inputbox in 20 seconds so the process can run if the user doesn't click it himself?

How To Bypass Source Length Limit
Dec 8, 2009I was getting so close to the end of what I was trying to finish until I got stuck by an error.
I think the data source in Data Validation has a limit of character. Please see Below
=CHOOSE(MATCH($D1,AccountList,0),ZA,ZB,ZC,ZD,ZE,...ZAA,ZAB,ZAC)
I need to extend the list until ZAO. However, I think the Excel limit is only until ZAC.
I tried to create a new "list" that would contain those ZA,ZB,ZC.
(the list would be named ListofZ) and replace the lengthy formula above by the following:
=CHOOSE(MATCH($D1,AccountList,0),ListofZ)
However this technique doesn't work.
Code To Bypass Outlook's Security Prompt
Sep 11, 2005when sending an email in code from Excel through Outlook, the following Microsoft Office Outlook dialog appears during code execution in Office releases since 2002:
A Program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf.
Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No".
Two buttons: [Yes] [No]
Question
Has anyone used or developed code that bypasses this prompt, and if so, would you please post an example of your code here. What I would like is a macro in VBA and / or API that you know from your own first-hand experience has worked for you, that emails an Excel attachment from Excel, using Outlook (not Outlook Express) as the email client, which bypasses the above prompt.....................
Conditional Sum Wizard

Dates After Text Import
Aug 12, 2008I have imported data from textfile reports generated from a dBase system with the following
Sub ImportData()
.........
End Sub
The problem I have now is that during the operations on the date collumns (G-K) Excel has converted the date to dd/mm/yyyy format, just as I wanted - but has for instance sometimes interpreted the date 10/06/2005 (10 Jun 2005) correctly and sometimes as 06/10/2005 - with no consistent logic I can discern.
I can't get hold again of the source data (the reports) and would need to somehow correct the dates.
The data is historical booking information of a Tour-operator. Therefore there are some hints that would allow me to check if a date makes sense or not. In each row is a start-and an end date in collumns D & E, which would need to be checked for correctness. The following may giv you an idea what I am babbling about: .....
Import Csv As Text Not General
Feb 17, 2007I need to be able to open or import a csv file and have the data be seen as text, not numbers. I can export programming from a phone system as a csv file, modify it and import it back into the phone system. some fields such as "seconds" are in the format 00. Excel sees it as a number and converts it to 0, which causes an error when I try to import again.
I have tried changing the csv to txt and copying it to a blank worksheet and then recording a macro using text to columns, but each export can be laid out differently, so a fixed array doesn't work. there can be over 100 columns so doing it manually and changing each column to text can be quite tedius.

Save Settings Wizard For New Computer
Jul 25, 2008I was reinstalling office on a laptop where the hard drive had been replaced. I used the 'save settings, wizard on my desktop and put in the new settings when I reinstalled Office.
This almost worked, but not quite.
Word and PowerPoint seem to be fine but when I reopened Excel I got a number of messages saying that objects could not be loaded because they were not on the machine. Some of this was because Excel was trying to reference add-ins that needed to be reinstalled. I have done that, and there are now fewer messages - but there are still two and I can't get rid of them. One looks for 'objects' the other a single 'object'. There seems no way of finding out what the objects are in question, and what it that Excel is stumbling over. Can I do anything other than abandoning my previous settings and starting again, or else living with having to click twice every time I start excel to get rid of the messages?
I have tried uninstalling Excel and reinstalling but this doesn't help. Perhaps registry changes are the problem...and I hate the registry.
