Add Another Worksheet & Continue Importing The Html Files Until There Are No More Files To Import
Jul 13, 2006I'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.

Importing And Analysing Files
Nov 6, 2008We 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.
Importing Text Files
Sep 25, 2002I 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.

Feb 27, 2008I 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:

Importing CSV Files In A Worksheet
May 25, 2009The 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.
Importing Multiple CSV Files Into Workbook
Dec 3, 2012I 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:-
VB: Workbooks.Open Filename:="D:FinancialData SheetsSpreadsheetsPension" & Ws.Range("A2").Value & ".csv"
VB:
Sub BackFillData()
Dim Ws As Worksheet
For i = 1 To 105
'Sheets.Add
ActiveSheet.Name = "Fund" & i

Importing Multiple CSV Files Into One Workbook
Jun 15, 2013I 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.

Importing Multiple Text Files
Apr 16, 2008This 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" '

Importing Multiple Text Files Into One Workbook
Apr 26, 2007I 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.

Importing Selective Lines From Multiple Text Files
Jun 18, 2009I 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)..........................

Using Mutiple Entries In A Calculation
Feb 19, 2010I'm trying to create a workbook that will calculate times. Currently I have a worksheet that has, for example Incident #1, Date/Time In, and Date/Time Out. At the end of the row it will calculate total time in hours.
I need to create a second worksheet that will have Incident # to correspond to the incident # on Sheet1, with Date/Time In and Out. However, on this sheet there could be more than one occurance of Incident#1, and multiple times in an out. That total will be deducted from the total of incident#1 on Sheet1.
The easiest way to explain this would be...say for the sake of argument Sheet1 calculates the duration of a vacation in hours (lets say 168 hours). Sheet2 will calculate how much of that time was spent doing business (lets say 2 hours on day1, 3 hours on day 4). In the end I want to subtract 5 hours from 168 hours giving me 163 actual vacation hours.
My problem is, I don't know how to go about using the values in multiple rows in Sheet2 that correspond to the row in Sheet1.
