I have a workbook that contains over 100 worksheets with stock data and price information. It uses a screenscraper to update the workbook each day with the latest day's price, and then exports each of these .csv files into a local directory. The macro for this is working. In effect it is generating a price history file automatically in my absence for me that can be read by charting software.
What I would like though is a macro to loopthrough and backfill missing price histories on each worksheet. I have a source of .csv price histories already, but would like to avoid having to cut and paste each of the 105 files manually, as it may become a regular occurence.
Each worksheet that requires backfilling has the stock code in the cell "A2", so that can be used to search for the filename Range("A2") & ".csv"
This is as far as I have got - however it results in a runtime error (91) Object variable or With block variable not set, pointing to this line:-
I am troubleshooting my macro that seems to cause a data shift with the Letter "F" when I import multiple CSV files into one spreadsheet. When I go outside of the macro and record a macro and import the CSV into a workbook it works perfectly fine. But there must be something in this code that is causing the shift:
VB: Private Declare Function SetCurrentDirectoryA Lib _ "kernel32" (ByVal lpPathName As String) As Long Public Function ChDirNet(szPath As String) As Boolean Dim lReturn As Long lReturn = SetCurrentDirectoryA(szPath)
[Code] ....
I have attached an excel workbook that shows how the macro imports vs. a regular import. Why "F" is causing a shift in the data.
I am using excel 2003. I have more than 500 text file which are result of some numerical analysis. I have another bunches of the same file number. I can record and play around with macro.
What I want to do is -copy selected cells from imported text file in excel and paste in new or in first opened excel file. I have recorded macro for one file including importing from text to excell, copy and paste the selected file (look the macro below). But I have more than 500 files and I want to do the macro the same thing for each file in one excell file. Do i have to make one macro for each file??, that takes much more time than manual import and copy paste. The cell position and range to copy is the same, but have to be pasted in new row (in one excel summery file). The file name of each text file is different and all are in the same folder.
I have part of macro to import a txt file into excel but it is not working as it should. It is giving me a message "This file is not a recognizable format" but its just a normal txt file. Also after it gives me this warning it will open in excel and with every new txt file it gives me this warning and after it opens it.
The code I am using is:
Sub su() Dim oWbk As Workbook Dim sFil As String Dim sPath As String sPath = "C:Historical" 'location of files ChDir sPath sFil = Dir("*.txt") 'change or add formats Do While sFil "" 'will start LOOP until all files in folder sPath have been looped through Set oWbk = Workbooks.Open(sPath & "" & sFil) 'opens the file Workbooks.OpenText (sPath & "" & sFil), Comma:=True, DataType:=xlDelimited ' do something sFil = Dir Loop ' End of LOOP End Sub
In this line it gives me Runtime error 1004 Method 'Opentext' of object workbook failed: Workbooks.OpenText (sPath & "" & sFil), Comma:=True, DataType:=xlDelimited
This is a great bit of code (I found), to import multiple text files.
I have one small issue -
currently it imports with each file going to a new column, like this: text file1 A1:A4, txt file2 B1:B4, txt file3 C1:C4 etc etc
And eventually i risk running out of columns because I'm working with a lot of text files.
Can someone tell me what to do to modify this code so it imports like this? : text file1 A1:D1, txt file2 A2:D2, txt file3 A3:D3 ETC ETC
.e.g. first file imports across row1, second file across row2 etc
Sub test2() Dim myDir As String, fn As String, ff As Integer, txt As String Dim delim As String, n As Long, b(), flg As Boolean, x, t As Integer myDir = "\BP1MELIS001SHARED_DATAEVERYONESolutions IntranetPriceMasterlogs" '
I have about 1200 text files with data regarding different machines.These file contain a line called 'Validation date" and also the programe number on different line.
I need a macro which will extract this date for each program number and write in excel in two columns like program number and validation date.
I have tried with some of the macro help available on this site,but I have to do this one at a time.The time required doing this way is same as going in each text file and copy/pasting in excel.Is it possible to automate this process.
I know similar questions have been asked before, but I couldnt work out how it is done. Basically I have several xls files with the same name, eg. "test" with an alternating number at the end. 1 - ....
each of these workbooks contain several sheets but all books are the same just with different information on it. each workbook has got a summary sheet in it, i want to import all summary sheets into a single workbook called summary. but each sheet should be imported as in individual sheet.
I have a folder in my D drive where I used to keep my Text files after downloading it from our support centeral. I want to Import all these Text files in one excel sheet in a way that data of each file got append in excel sheet below previous file data.I am trying to do this through FSO but unable to do the same.
I'm trying to create a macro that will import multiple multiline text files.
I have tried another Macro from this site however that imports the each text file into one cell, but i need each line to be in a new cell and each file to be in the same sheet.
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'm using the following code to import thousands of html files into my spreadsheet. The code is working fine. Since I am importing thousands of files, when there is no more space on my worksheet, the code stops with an error message. I want to make this code add another worksheet & continue importing the html files until there are no more files to import.

I have 8 different files all have a set of data in them
each one has a long list of (column a-n) however the number of rows change by date. I need each file copied into the finalfile.xls one after another. in the files that will be merged into the final file the final row i need copied is blank. I have all the copy formulas and everything set, I just need a range to copy that automaticaly takes cell a10 to the first blank a cell from each file and pastes it in the finalfile.xls under the last paste so they dont over write each other.
So, today my manager came to me and informed me that he wanted me to do a little data entry for him... WOW... So I have about 2000 invoices to go through(all excel files, in their dated folders... 12-2-2013(folder) and the filenames are 12-2-2013(1), 12-2-2013(2) etc.)
I need to take these individual files and have certain cells from each in certain cells of a new workbook for example...
file 12-2-2013(1)... I need cell C3 from that file to go to cell A2(and this will be the same for all the other files... 12-2-2013(2) cell C3 needs to be in A3 etc etc etc.. this is the sale date) file 12-2-2013(1)... I need cell a15 and b15(they are both "stretched out" cells) to be put in C3 of the new workbook and so on.
is there an easy way/formula to do this all? I have to have this done by friday at the latest(tomorrow preferred @@) I have to input data for 7 cells...
Which is the best way import many (thousands of) files in text format into a single excel spreadsheet. Importing files with e.g. 50 lines to create 50 columns for rows for every file
We have an online system that generates xls dump files. These essentially contain a table with lots of information about every test case we perform. From this table I am interested in three fields: TestID, Location and TestCaseStatus. With these fields I need to generate : A drop down menu to filter by location A table containing the count of each test case status for the relevant location. Every Row represents a TestID and the columns a status.
I was hoping you would be able to give me an idea of a good way to tackle this. My initial thought is that SQL maybe useful to import the desired table columns and then further filtering would have to be done through nested for loops. I'm sure you can suggest a better way though.
Also, if possible, I would prefer the raw data not to be displayed in my analysing spreadsheet - only the summary should be shown.
I have a whole lot (hundreds) of .txt files that contain fixed width data that I need to convert to Excel format. I can open each file and step through the Text Import Wizard, then save it as an .xls file, but I'm wondering if there's a way to convert all the files in a given folder from .txt to .xls without having to open each one while (here's the kicker) still placing the data between the spaces on the .txt file into individual cells and columns like the wizard does.
The Excel 2007 help menu claims that you can open a CSV file directly into a worksheet but I always get all the fields clumped-up into the first column.
After many tribulations I was able to import it through the Data import menu (text).
Could someone explain what I am doing wrong with the first method described above. It appears that the CSV converter is not working properly on my computer.
I found the code below on the internet and adjusted it to my needs.It is working perfectly fine except for the fact that it opens a new workbook to import the data. I run this code from a workbook named "InstronImport.xlsm" and would like it to add the data in this workbook instead of a new one. I have been trying for a day now and can't seem to figure out how to do it.

It´s basically so I can important a very large log file, about 800,000 lines, many of them repeating, I want to import into Excel to better control the data.
I keep trying to import the data, and I cant get it to make me new sheets.
With reference to Importing large text file. i need to get large text files to automatically split across Excel sheets sheets while trying to Import. Can it be done only through Macros or is there any function in Excel itself.
I have five excel separate excel files containing values covering more than 500,000 rows each. I want to put then in a single excel workbook without tedious work of copy/paste to sheets of this workbook.
I've pieced together code from a number of solutions on the forum and figured out how to find the files I need to process, but can't seem to figure out the code to actually combine/append each worksheet into a single one. I've searched the "sea of options" on this forum and managed to do one thing well. Pardon all my notes embedded in the code below, but if I don't do it that way, I'll only confuse myself further (which is easily accomplished) ... or lose my notes!
Im going to run this code from an add-in menu, which is already created and working (yeaah!) so (I think) I need to have the code either create a file named "Master (Combined).xls" in the target folder ... or ... have a file already created in MYFOLDER and have this code delete all but the header row when the file is opened(???) The "Master (Combined).xls" workbook needs to consist of one worksheet named "Master". I want it to open the current workbook (.foundfiles(i)), select all the data, and append it to the master workbook on the "Master" worksheet (sheet 1). The Master Worksheet in the Master Workbook needs to start out as a blank sheet ... except for the header row. I can add code to put the headers in at the start, if necessary

Am creating a large medical teaching database on Excel that lists JPEG images (a few hundred) and the file paths for each image into separate Excel columns using a VBA macro.
The JPEG image filenames are numbered in ascending numerical format (i.e 1.jpeg).
I have a folder with 8 files which have different names like John-s, Joe-K, Mary-j,....
There are 14 sheets in each file. One of the sheets in the files named Daily contain information in Range A5:G16 that I need to import from all 8 files into a separate file called Import.
I have created a workbook that imports data from another workbook which is used frequently on a network drive. After I import the data to my new workbook, it locks the original workbook for editing. Is there a property that will allow me to disable this 'locked for editing' read only mode or any other way to get around this?
The setup: A software application I regularly use produces csv data files (in this case approx 300 files). These I have converted to xls format using a separate macro. The files are in one folder and named as follows eg
I then created a macro using code I sourced from the internet, and included some addtional commands (filename, copy/paste). See below. This macro opens the all the xls data files in the folder and copies the relevant data to an analysis workbook [Analysis sheet, Results sheet, Master sheet] ie the data is copied from the data file and pasted into the Analysis worksheet. Then the results are copied from the Results sheet to the Master sheet. So far so everything works.
My problem is this: I'm stumped at how to delete rows from the xls data files before running the analysis workbook and macro. In other words, after converting the csv files to xls format I need to clean the xls data files.
I have a separate xls file with criteria data in two columns:
The rows in a particular data file, with dates that are not present in the Criteria workbook must be deleted. This to be done for every data file in the folder. Also, I need to exclude rows for specific time periods eg 12H00AM - 04H00AM from all the files irrespective of date.
the code needed [should a separate macro be run or can code be placed within the present macro?]. I've tried looking for something similar on the internet, but my requirements seem too customized to be able to adapt the code that I found. And of course this is waaaay above my present skill level!
Option Explicit
Sub CopyPaste()
'This code opens up data files (xls) in a specified folder and copies data A1:G17281 to an Analysis workbook (Analysis sheet).
'The data from the Results sheet is then copied to the Master sheet.

I have a log that I regularly use to import text files, after each text file import it leaves a large number of rows blank that I have to delete before I add in the next text file import.
Any VBA method to detect this and remove the blank rows so that I dont have to keep checking to remove?
