VBA for updating the name of the file in Text files.
I have multiple Text files in a location; I need a VBA which can automatically update file name to these Text files.
I have attached the simple formats which i needed.
Before.txt - Original File.
After.txt - After updating the File name.
I'm trying to take a large text file and break into smaller text size files. I want to open the data file, and parse into 5000 line smaller files.
Here is what I have based off of some MS KB
Sub LargeFileImport()
'Dimension Variables
Dim ResultStr As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Double
Dim CounterMax As Double
Dim sPath As String
Dim FileCounter As Double
'Output File
I need help for reading data from text files and saving it under different columns in the excel file using vba macro.
For example: I have many text files in the following format ....
Is it possible to do a seach in a lot of excel files (>500) to find the excel files wich have an embedded objects inside. If so how can I do this with VBA ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI receive 24,000 text files once a month that need to be combined into one csv/txt file and/or spreadsheet(tab).
About a year ago I posted a thread on the same topic which received a fantastic response from jindon that worked great
Unfortunately, the format in which the text files are ouput has changed, as has the filename layout. The files are now output with filenames such as:
(lic#, company name, displaying # records found, date, type.txt)
40298827_Windham Professionals Inc _Displaying records 1 through 10 of 100_041813_AGENTS.txt
40298827_Windham Professionals Inc _Displaying records 11 through 20 of 100_041813_AGENTS.txt
40303726_HEARTLAND CREDIT RESTORATION INC _EANF_041913_AGENTS.txt
(files with EANF in the filename have no records inside them and can be skipped)
While the contents of each file look like this: (see attached text file reference)
I would like to combine the contents of the text files while appending the lic#, company name and date from the filenames to each record so the resulting file looks like this:
40305196 Audette , Anthony Sales Provider 40298827 Windham Professionals Inc 041813
40313800 Burritt , Kimberly Sales Provider 40298827 Windham Professionals Inc 041813
As far as I can tell jindon's code is fine except the regex expression needs to be modified to handle the new layout, however that is far beyond me.
All my files is in C:UsersmarrecoDownloads All files has name formatt (yyyymmdd) -> 20140814 I need import only last month files
Every day a system plays text files within the (C: Users drake Downloads ) folder.

I have a folder with multiple text files. I want to import one of these files to a sheet called data in an existing Excel file. The excel file has references to this data sheet on other sheets which I want to keep. I want to save this excel file with the name the text file has and repeat this for all the text files in the folder.
I found a macro a while back which does the job nicely of importing and saving the Excel file, however all the data in the other sheets gets lost once it is saved. How to keep the data?
Code:
Sub tgr()
Const txtFldrPath As String = "FOLDER WITH TEXT FILES" 'Change to folder path containing text files
Const xlsFldrPath As String = "FOLDER FOR EXCEL FILES" 'Change to folder path excel files will be saved to
Dim CurrentFile As String: CurrentFile = Dir(txtFldrPath & "" & "*.txt")
Dim strLine() As String
Dim LineIndex As Long

I need to import thousand of txt files into 1 worksheet keeping the file names as data. Each txt file has 2 columns :
1 0.65914
2 0.65945
3 0.86062
... ...
and each txt file represents recordings made at specific time and date (e.g 0158.DSG_RAWD_HMS_21_ 0_ 0__DMY_29_ 2_12_pulses). I would like to have 2 columns: 1) with the time taken from the name of the txt file (e.g. 21:00:00) and 2) the associated recording. Something like this:
21:00:00 0.65914
21:00:00 0.65945
21:00:00 0.86062
and so on for each txt file and all the recordings piling up in 1 spreadsheet. I have tried to run few codes in VBA, but I have no knowledge of it and none of the code worked. I am using Excel 2010.
I have around 50 text files with similar design per attached file. I need to import the text files with criteria below:-
1. include file name
2. let user choose the folder
3. exclude data from "work in process summary" to "work in process cost totals"
4. only have one title in the excel files which all text files is combined "Item, Line ....."
5. If the text files do not have title like "Item, Line, ..." do not import
Is it possible to have all criteria listed above by running a macro?
A.txt
Is there a way to open a text file from Excel 2010 and specify that I want it in .xls format?
I am working in compatibility mode, and expected that when I opened a text file from code within an xls file, the text file would have 65,536 rows, but it has 1,048,576. This causes a problem when we try to copy the sheet with the data from the text file, and insert the sheet into our xls workbook. See code below. The error is: Run-time error '1004': Excel cannot insert the sheets into the destination workbook, because it contains fewer rows and columns than the source workbook..
I know I can get the data other ways (such as copying and pasting only the cells containing data) but I was hoping to make minimal changes to the code below as I will have to make it across several templates. Specifically, I was hoping that there was a qualifier I could add to the Workbooks.OpenText statement after "Tab:=True" - Perhaps something about opening the text file in File Format 56. However I have not been able to find out how to do that.
Code:
.....FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Files (*.*),*.*,GeoTAC Files (*.ctf),*.ctf, _
Text Files (*.txt),*.txt,Excel Files (*.xls),*.xls", 1, , , False)
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=FileToOpen, _

I would like to attach a pdf (or word) file inside an Excel sheet so that it is seen as a pdf icon or word icon when viewing the sheet. Any of you who knows if this is possible and how to do it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedOur client uses an Excel spreadsheet that we provide to adjudicate/comment on our delivered products (primarily documents and reports). The spreadsheet has columns for:
DefectCode, SectionPage, Comment, FinalDisposition, FinalComment.
At the end of the process of client meetings and revisions, we must generate an MS Word-formatted report. I've written a macro to parse the comments and columns and generate a mostly-formatted Word document. What's missing are the corporate headers, footers, logos -- the standard template or basic document stuff that all of the details would fill in. For now, I auto-gen a Word document and merge it by hand into the corporate template.
So my question is: if I want to "include" a corporate Word template with the spreadsheet, can I bundle it with the workbook somehow or must it always remain a separate file?
My current thinking is that since a *.xlsm file is really a ZIP file underneath, could I store the Word template there where it would effectively be hidden from the user? Or what is the best way to bundle an extra file like this with my workbook app?
Need a way to update a single master file. What happens right now is that the cost manager sends out one file to a lot of different project heads and then on having them return back to him he basically has to individually add in all the data. What i am trying to do is that he somehow carries on sending out the data as there are a lottt of projects and then on returning them they automatically update.
I have problems inserting new rows in selected files. The files with the problems have a macro. I don't know if the problem can lie within the macro. There is no error message, it just won't insert the new row(s).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have some daily text files in a folder (so about 30 of them each month), which in the end of month, I need to open them up in excel, format them so that I can use the information for my analysis.
I would like to create a macro, to quickly open them all up at once and save them each individually in .xls or .xlsm format.
I am new to VBA and after some research online, I was able to have the files open with the following code. but now I don't know how to proceed further to save them one by one with the same name but in .xls or .xlsm format.

I have an excel database where I register cases. I have in it a button that creates a folder with and ID nr that is in column A (I create new ID nr in the next row, when I press the button it will create a folder with that ID nr and inserts a blank word document in it). We have a template that we copy to the folder (depending what type of case). The idea would be that once the template is filled in and ready to print, It would take the values from the ID nr and a reference number a few cells to the right. Is it possible to tell excel to open the word document in the folder and create a PDF version with the ID nr and reference number. (there are only 2 templates, so the macro would have to look for one of the two in the folder)
The name of the templates are: "Standard" and "Other".
I guess the best way to start maybe this would be that I select the cell with the ID nr and then press a macro button to have this done.
One thing that needs to be done, is to put a copy in the same folder and another in a second folder called "Binder" in my documents folder.
I have an excel work book that I want to extract certain info from Each tab where in the result tab I use this formula to get required data from another tab.
I has about 24 tab , in the 25th one i collect data from all previous , using below formula inside each cell to get
=INDEX('2014 wk12'!$C$1:$C$17,MATCH("Total LTD Result",'2014 wk12'!$A$1:$A$17,0))
Where 2014 wk12 is a tab name , so , it works fine
excel iss.png
What i want is t replace the sheet name which in previous example is 2014 wk12 with relative name in column A
The closest i have in mind is to make it as below ( it is not working ) so what shall be the working formula of the below
=INDEX('Tab name from Column A '!$C$1:$C$17,MATCH("Total LTD Result",'Tab name from Column A'!$A$1:$A$17,0))

I have around 10 buttons in a sheet and all the buttons have same macro. I am trying to extract the text inside the button which I click (and not the name of the button). How to do it using vba?
I have used the following:
buttontext =ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller).Text
buttontext =ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller).Caption
PS: When I used buttontext =ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller).Name there was no error but it gave the name of the button not the text inside it.
I have used VBA to copy data from a sheet into some shapes. Some of these shapes are upside down and therefore the text is upside down. Is there a way to flip the text without having to flip the shape?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to have a macro create an Elipse then place text inside the elipse. The text will be numeric and automatically count from a user entered starting value. It will only count in whole numbers from 1 to 4 digits in length (1 thru 9999). No leading or trailing zeros.
I am looking to do this by clicking the mouse on an image placing the elipse/text shapes with the elipse outline ontop of the text. The worksheet will have an image covering its entirety. I recorded a couple macros but, this one, is not so easy. I may have actually found new errors never seen by mankind before. (I kid).
I am importing data into excel from another application. I place the data on a sheet and then use macros to re-arrage the data to another sheet. One column of cells gets populated with strings of the following format <text1>(<text2>)

I get on regular bases an xls file by email.
With this file I have to do several things for which I'm trying to create VBA.
What is the easiest way to import this VBA in the file I get ?
Should I create a txt file with the code and copy/paste?
Maybe create a template with code to import the txt file ?
How would the code look like for importing ?
I'm having trouble keeping the formatting correctly in a text box through VBA. I'm sure this is something simple, but I'm the intern that got stuck with trying to program for the break since they know I've taken classes on the subject. I've been able to figure out a lot

rearragning text on excel. I believe Macro will be needed to solve this problem so if anyone can help me out, it will be a big help. Thank you.
Example 1:
I need to rearrange
"trace Silt, cm SAND, some- f Gravel" into
"cm SAND, some- f Gravel, trace Silt"
Example 2:
I need to rearrange
"some+ Silt, f SAND, trace- f Gravel" into
"f SAND, some+ Silt, trace- f Gravel"
There are many different cases for this problem. So if there is a way for the computer to recognize the Capitalized word and move it to the front and rest should be arange in order listed below.
Order
and+
and
and-
some+
some
some-
little+
little
little-
trace+
trace
trace-
each term is seprarated by commas.
For example
f SAND, some+ Silt, trace- f Gravel
each color represent one complete sentence. and the order for them should be capitalized funciton first, then the follow the order provided above.
By "Return all row numbers that have a given value written somewhere inside text in their column B" I mean....
I want to be able to search an alphanumeric value "ABC12345" within a column that has a paragraph of text written in each row, I want to know which rows have this value written somewhere in them and have it return 2,4,33, as row 2 and 4 and 33 have this value in them inside column B on that row.
on column A i have the respective row numbers all the way down ie: ( 1,2,3,4, etc) (to pull up the row numbers)(unless you have a better way)
On Column B i have the paragraphs of text to search in (there is lots of text and spaces in the paragraphs.)
On column C i have the value to look for... ie: ABC12345 (different values in each row of column C) to be compared to all of column B
On column D would be the formula to Pull down and get the results.
and something tells me you might have a better way of getting the row numbers rather than having column A dedicated to numerating each row 1,2,3,etc
