We have had a few instances where Excel 2013 is truncating a filename when saving for example "MF Not Settled - Dec 13 Rental A.." the filename includes additional characters than this but has replaced them with .., I initially thought it could be a file path length issue but the files in question the total length is less than 150 characters including the server name.
This is also happening with links inside excel files to different tabs in the same workbook and well as macro names causing them to have to be ran manually as it has truncated the name to .. at the end.
find some examples below:
Full filename: MF Jan 2014 vols Smart churn sensitivity
Truncated filename: MF Jan 2014 vols Smart churn...
Also if you try to link to the truncated workbook whilst open it displays the formula as:
='[MF Jan 2014 vols Smart churn...sitivity.xlsm]Input c!$E$13
My work around is to save the file to another folder, without closing it, and then it works fine. However, in doing this it will try to save as the truncated name, so I first have to select the correct name of the file in the existing folder, before saving to a separate folder. However, if the file is closed, and then reopened the problem returns.
I have a multilevel XML file. Attached my1.zip (XML files cannot be uploaded as is, hence I had to zip it). When I import the XML into excel, it creates multiple columns for the multilevel data. However, I need the multilevel data as additional rows. I have attached another excel file sample.xlsx which shows how excel imports the XML and how I actually need the data to be.
Screen shot attached for your quick reference sample.xlsx.jpg
Basically, I have a column that contains a list of names of files without the extension, ie "A2=File1" What I want, is for excel to open the file associated with the name in the column, "(A2).xml", and extract a value from that.xml file and insert it into B2.
I have searched and all of the examples I find aren't quite what I am looking for. I have an add-in that works exactly the way I want it, but does not extract certain values that I need it to. This is a commercial add-in so I don't have the source code for it or else this would be a snap.
I have a macro that copies long decimals (11 places) from an Excel file to a CSV file. However, the long decimals often get truncated from 11 places down to 3 or 4. I've tried a number of different coding methods to combat this, the most recent and most successful of which is shown below
Application.Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:...2008_alldata.csv"
Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
Application.Goto Reference:="AllDataTable"
Selection.Copy
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
Application.Goto Reference:="R1C1"
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Range("R2:BI5000").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "#,##0.00000000000"
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWindow.Close savechanges:=False
However, sometimes this method also fails. Is there a better way anyone knows of to ensure that the entire decimal is copied?
I am trying to have the total (cell e78) from one of my own excel files automatically filled into a cell in a different excel file when the number of that file is typed into a third cell.
i.e. if the total on Ticket 4126 in cell e78 is $4500, then when I type 4126 into the Ticket # cell on my seperate Invoice I'd like it to fill in the third cell under Amount as $4500.
Is this possible?
is it possible to import just a portion of a csv file into my excel workbook? For example:
My csv file has data from 2010-2015. I want to somehow import only data between 2013-2015 from the csv file into my excel workbook every time I click refresh.
I cannot delete data from the source file because many other people are using the same file. Is there some sort of "SQL" for excel that makes it possible to trim csv file?
I'm working on creating a custom HTML report with javascript that I will be using to import in to excel to populate some graphs. Basically everything is working, except if I use javascript to show me a value.

I have several word Files which has standard letter format and contains some tables which needs to be extracted / imported to Excel sheet

I have several files and I want to avoid doing it manually.
I wanted to see if there is a VBA code to do the following :
a) Select a TabText Delimited file based on a criteria
b) Import the Selected Data to Excel
I have the vba code where I can open the tab text delimited file in excel, use a selection criteria and then copy the data into excel. But I am having problems with the case where the Tab Text Delimited file exceeds the row limit that excel currently has and wanted to see if the data import can be done without opening the text file into excel at all.
Here is my current query :
Sub TEST()

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="E:Testdata.txt"
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$1:$B$1048576").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="1234"

code to import a tab delimited text file with about 3 million rows so that it creates a new tab every time it hits the 1 million row limit?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a number of large CSV files with approximately 1.9 million rows, (this is more then excel can bring in). I typically have to import/delimit the files when brining them into excel. However, when I try this I get the message not all data imported. I would like to be able to split the records in the csv file to multiple tabs in the excel woorkbook when doing the import/delimit but do not know how to accomplish this. The delimit of the data varies each time due to the nature of the data so doing a macro is more trouble to create each time. Currently I am having to open the csv file in notepad and split it up into multiple files then import each new file seperately.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI sometimes import data in the copy-paste way from completely different sources, eg. a program on the web or whatever, which has arranged the data in a table.
It is often succesful with the data neatly arranged in the spreadsheet in columns and rows and all, but sometimes the gridlines disappear even though 'cell format' is set to 'none' in 'grid lines' and the settings have a mark for 'visible grid lines' and their color is 'automatic'. Only the imported area misses the gridlines.
It is of course possible to set some grey gridlines manually in cell format, but then I get them on the print also and I don't want that.
I've been asked to streamline some processes for a company I used to work with before I went on maternity leave (been two years now, my brain feels like its gone to mush). One of the things they have is a document where they input EVERYTHING manually into a word, sometimes the same thing several times. (felt like I had gone back into the dark ages). I know I can set up a template in Excel where all the required information can be imported into specific places within the word document, but Im struggling to find a solution to one part.
They get their clients to fill out an expenses form showing all their monthly expenses, some fields will be filled in but others are not relevant to them so they are left as zero.
How do I go about just importing ONLY the fields that have values input against them?
For example;
Mortgage $2000
Rent $0
Electricity $300
School Fees $0
Contents Insurance $200
Water $80
Pet Care $50
Groceries $1000
Takeaways $0
Then when the data is imported into word it would show up like this (formatted better of course)
Mortgage $2000
Electricity $300
Contents Insurance $200
Water $80
Pet Care $50
Groceries $1000
I have many text files basically with the same data from different dates. I am trying to select specific lines from each text, one that includes ".txt" which is the date, ex: "2008_308" and one that includes the word "PIXEL" and the following 5 lines after that.
I found a very similar post to mine and someone provided the script using VB for the question. It works, but it was only for one text file. I would like to use it for multiple text files. The files are all dated, i.e. "2008_308.txt". Although some of the dates are missing.
This is the script, from another posting, for importing selective lines from one text file:
Sub test()
Dim fn As String, txt As String, delim As String, a() As String
Dim i As Long, ii As Long, iii As Long, n As Long, x, y
fn = "c: est.txt" ' İChange here (File Path)
delim = vbTab ' İChange here (delimiter)
temp = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(fn).ReadAll
x = Split(temp, vbCrLf)
ReDim a(1 To UBound(x) + 1, 1 To 100)
For i = 0 To UBound(x)
If InStr(1, x(i), "txt", 1) > 0 Then
n = n + 1 : y = Split(x(i), delim)
For ii = 0 To UBound(y)
a(n, ii + 1) = y(ii)..........................
I created a vb macro to open a text file then process the file then close the file. Here is my problem:
Problem: THe text file has rows of data in it as follows
5155111111551511111111111511111111111111111
This row of text gets converted to
5.16E+42
because excel treats the row of text as a number but i dont want it to do this transition.
When i save the file and then reopen it using say NOTEPAD i see 5.16E+42 and not the long string of text.
I am using the following code to browse to a CSV file and import it into my current workbook. How can I capture the name of the text file (myFile) for future use?
myFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Files,*.csv")
If myFile = False Then
Exit Sub
End If
' Open file
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & myFile, Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "DATA"
.FieldNames = True...............
i want to browse a text file with 10 textual lines and rewrite the contents in the same file (starting from line number 11) from bottom to top.

I am importing data from a csv file into another program. For some reason this particular cell is causing everything past it in the same row to be thrown off. It is moving bits and pieces to the next column, then the next, etc....all in the same row though.
Can you see anything in this data that would cause issues in a csv file when importing. The data in this cell is html code for an ecommerce item description.
How can I limit the number of lines when importing a file? Limit the import
to the first 53 lines of a file that has 50,000+ lines.
Want to import the first "XX" set of lines, then I want to skip a set of
lines, then continue to import the rest of the lines. The second import needs
to be inserted 2 or 3 lines down from the first import.
There is the function:
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=
But it only has a StartRow and can not specify the "EndRow". Also can not
specify where to start in the worksheet, i.e. Cell A5

I am trying to open set of excel files to fetch data starting from a master excel file where the links are given using a loop. Some of files given as links are either absent or the link is wrong.
* What is the syntax to find if the link is correct/present
* What is the syntax to find if the file is present in specified location
* What is the syntax to find if the file is password protected to open
* I use error handler to resume the next statement if OPEN statement fails.It works fine inside the loop only for first two files.
For example if the third link is errorneous the error handler fails and RUN TIME ERROR occurs.

I am trying to create a macro that imports a text file that has a changing name (it has date/time info in it).

importing a text file. 3 times per day, I pull a report off a website and save it as a txt file. Typically, the data consists of approx 2000 customer ID's, and their respective data. When I import the data into Excel, it uses 2 or 3 rows to list information for each customer ID. I need a to seperate out only the customers ID which are 9 numbers long (no text in the ID), their SS #'s, and are listed as "FUL Request" or "PTR Request".
Since the data takes up 2 or 3 rows, the "Text to Column" feature does not work.
So the VBA should be able to look at each row, and if it has a 9 number customer ID in the row directly above it, and meets all other criteria, them post the customer ID number, the SS# and the verbiage "FUL Request" or "PTR Request" onto a seperate sheet.
Or the VBA can simply delete the rows that don't meet the criteria listed above.
I am using Chip Pearson's method of importing a text file into Excel (found at http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm )
It works great except for one aspect. Two of my columns of data are in the format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss", which is very necessary.
I have set the worksheet, the file is being imported into, to the same format. My problem is that, during the import of data, Excel (in it's wisdom) decides to automatically transpose the dd and mm numbers (if they meet the natural calendar conditions i.e. 01/09/2006 becomes 09/01/2006, 09/01/2006 becomes 01/09/2006 whilst 21/09/2006 remains the same).
As you can imagine this causes havok with several other functions that I have running off that source data (once imported). I have looked at the code and, whilst I can follow the general gist of it, I am unable to find any reference to format of the data.
