Tab Delimited File Saves Commas As Dot
Jan 30, 2008I'm using Excel 2000 swedish version, that is we use comma to seperate decimals not dot. I have a macro that saves a sheet as .txt file (tab delimited). However in the sheet (journal voucher) I need to enter a couple of numbers all with 2 decimal, that is 5 is 5,00 and so on. But then, when I save the sheet to a .txt file using a macro all the commas are saved as dots and since I'm importing the file to SAP it will not accept the dots. Is there some way ( changes in macro) I can prevent the commas from becoming dots when I save the .txt file?
The save macro is the commomly used
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Documents and Settings& strText & ".txt", _
FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Lookup Data From Large Csv File
Jan 21, 2010I want to use the attached Test.xls file below and do a lookup from the Data.csv (see zip file) where "Empl ID" (column A in Test.xls) matches "ID" (column A in Data.csv). I want to bring back "SupvID" (column B in Data.csv) into column D in Test.xls.
The problem I have is that in real life Data.csv is a very large file and contains more than Excel's maximum number of rows. I want to automate this using VBA to lookup the values without opening the csv file.
I have looked at a number of forums for answers and I can see where using an ADO connection will probably help accomplish this, but I can't seem to get it to work on these specific files.
After Macro Saves File Msgbox To Confirm Save As Completed
Jan 18, 2014I have a macro which works well. All it does is save a file to a specified location on my network. However, after a file is saved there is no prompt telling the user that the file was saved successfully leaving them wondering whether the macro actually worked.
VB:
Public Sub SaveAs() ThisFile = Range("X2").Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="legdcAudits" & ThisFile & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=52

Saves A Template With Macro (XLTM) As A Normal File (XLSX)
Sep 10, 2009When I prepare a file with macro's (to be used by other people), I save this file as a template with macro's with the extension *.xltm (template with macro).
Therefore no one can overwrite my file. These other people can open this template (e.g. double-click, but not file-open). But when these people save this file, Excel automatically saves it as a normal Excel-file with the extension *.xlsx.
Ok, a message is seen after pressing <enter> or clicking Save, but does normal users know, what they have to do then?
If I'm making a template with macro's, I want Excel to have this file saved as a file with macro's. Whatever did I make a file with macro's for? Is this a bug or is it done on purpose?

Splitting A Large File Into Two And Mining The Data
Apr 17, 2008I've been scouring the Internet for a few days now trying to get a macro working with varying degrees of success. It's driving me mad and I'm really hoping that someone out there can help me out. I'm trying to write a macro that will ...
1. Take a .xls file
2. Split the file in two
3. Take cells B2:B11 and paste them in to a csv file (to be called Upload1.csv) using the rows as column headers (i.e. B2:B11 now become A1:J1)
4. Take cells A13-J13 downwards (this file will have different numbers of rows each time it's generated) and paste them into a different csv file (to be called Upload2.csv) populating all the rows (except all rows in column I which are to be left blank) and all rows in Column J which are to contain the info in cell B7 of the original document.
5. In cell B11 of the original document I must only take the information that says MyAddress:xxxxx and discard all the other info
6. I must also loop through the second document until I find the words Total and copy everything UNTIL that row into the new document.
I know this probably sounds pretty awkward but in practice it's not that difficult to understand, it's probably the way that I've explained it
So far I've managed to take the original document and split it, populate both CSV files but I'm having problems with looping the macro until it sees the word Total and discards it and also populating the appropriate rows with the info from B7 ... I don't know how to make it populate only the rows that have info on them.
I've attached the original Excel file that is generated and also my attempt at the 2 csv files. I've also written in RED what needs to go where in each document.
Excel 2010 :: Right Click (save As) Saves Inoperative XLSM File
Mar 22, 2012Excel 2010, Win 7. I have attached a .xlsm file to an email. The contained macros run perfectly, and one of them is "public" so it shows up in "Developer - Macros", and "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" lists.
If the recipient clicks and drags the attachment to a folder, or copy/pastes the attachment, it works fine. (Macros are enabled, etc.)
However, if the recipient right clicks on the email attachment, and selects "SAVE AS" from the item list, the file saves, has the right name and extension, looks ok (the icon has the exclamation point, etc), and it is the correct size, but it simply will not load. You can double click, do a file open, etc. but it will not load. It's a hidden workbook, but if you "open it" and Alt-F11 to show the VBA editor, it isn't there!
It's not stopping the project - we simply tell them to click/drag, etc. but I totally do NOT understand why that happens.
Large CSV File: Too Large To Open. Split

Macro Formula To Clean Data In Large File?
Mar 3, 2014I am trying to use excel tools to clean dirty data and compare the two cells. The information is there but tainted with additional information that is not relevant. I have tried to use Left/Right tools to capture alpha characters leading an address number with no real success. Also, when I get the data it seems to have some embedded breaks that I can't seem to get rid of that cause my tasks to error too.
View 4 Replies View RelatedVisible Sheets To Be Hidden With The Exception Of The Sheet Called "open". Then Is Saves The File
Sep 9, 2008i am using the macro below to get excel to hide all sheets but the one called "open"...
PHP
Sub savemini()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "letmein"
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not sh.Name = "open" Then sh.Visible = xlVeryHidden
Next sh
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
So the workbook is protected with the password "letmein", and the VB code above in theory should unlock the workbook, allowing all visible sheets to be hidden with the exception of the sheet called "open". Then is saves the file.
Now heres the odd bit... it works for certain people, but not for others. I have made sure those it wont work for are not doing anything weird and they are not.
The workbook i am using has a code that only opens certain sheets for certain users. I as a master user have access to all sheets. I can go into the users sheets and click the button that activates the macro above myself and it works fine, but for some users it wont work.

File Too Large To Open?
Mar 16, 2013my colleague did something to one of our files and it is now 845918 kb. I transferred it to a flash drive and then to my hard drive but now I cant open it to see what is wrong. Is there a trick to opening this up? When it was opened on her computer it wouldn't let me add any tabs or move tabs. I think I unprotected it but that didn't change anything.

Opening Large File
Feb 4, 2009I have a 14.3 MB xlsb file that I am trying to open with no success as it just hangs. Anyone have any ideas on how to get the data out of there? I would like to be able to get the data to a pivot and copy the pivot to another file to try and reduce the load on one file. I tried to import to Access but was told I was using a file version before 2007, which is impossible since it is a xlsb file.

So Large File That Excel Cannot Open It...
May 4, 2009I have a file that became too big due to phantom bloat, unused range saved by Excel and all that kind of reasons. Thank to previous posts on that board tackling that issue, I was able to find how to proceed to reduce the file back to its normal size.
But I did so in a beta file (test file). The real file has become so big (103MB!) that Excel cannot even open it anymore! The file contains archive info that we do not have anywhere else.
Is there anyway then to open the file or to reduce its size without opening it (through magics...)? I just honestly don't know how to retrieve that info before deleting that file.

Open Large Txt File With Query
Sep 20, 2006I have a large text file (greater than 64k lines) which I need to import into excel. I only need anything imported from the text file that is for dates I specify. So I would like to run a line by line query and only import the lines I need.
The dates are always in position 43-50 (dd-mm-yy) in the text file itself, so the code would have to look at that section, see if the date is within the range specified and only import if it is (and then move onto the next line).

Compressing Large Pivot Table File
Jun 7, 2013My pivot table file is currently 12.7 MB and I need to get it much smaller so I can email it and it still be functional with the data.
I have tried right clicking on the pivot table, going to PivotTable Options, clicking on the data tab, unchecking the 'save source data with file' box, and checking the 'refresh data when opening file' box. This shrunk the file perfectly but when i email the file the Pivot Table was unusable because there was no data to back up the function.
The Error messages I got were 'Cannot open PivotTable source file'..... and 'Pivot Table report was saved without the underlying data. Use the Refresh Data command to update the report'. When I click on Refresh Data I still get the same error message.
Any way I can make this File smaller and still functional.
Large Tab File Delete Filtered Rows
Apr 1, 2009I have a large *.tab file with around 450,000 records. I opened the file in excel and then filtered two columns where there are values equal to 0.

"Microsoft Excel cannot create or use the data range reference because it is too complex."
How can I delete all these filtered = 0 rows without getting this error??
Drop-down Boxes Make File Size Too Large
Aug 31, 2009I'm using Excel 2007. I have a cell with a dropdown box that has the values 1 thru 10. When I save the file (as an Excel 97-2003 compatible .xls file), it's 17kb which is normal. I want multiple dropdown boxes going down the same column, so that every time the user goes to the next row, another dropdown box will be displayed. I copied the cell with the dropdown box, selected the entire column, and pasted the dropdown box.
This time when I save the document, it's over 2MB in file size. I've seen other spreadsheets with several columns of dropdown boxes spanning thousands of rows and they stay under 30kb. I don't know what they did differently to keep their file size small. Why is my file size so large and how do I fix this? Do I need to use a 'paste special' function?

Excel 2013 :: Saving Large Multiple Worksheet File
Aug 11, 2014I have an Excel file that's updated monthly. when it does save its around 16mb and can take up to 12 hours to save, and sometimes just doesn't.
I have tried saving as binary, I have made sure exact size of area to be saved is required, I have tried save with no calculations.
Basically the only reason I need to save it is so that another analysis spreadsheet can pull data from it. The file is heavily formatted, charts, vlookup tables etc, none of which is needed when analysis spreadsheet links to it.
Excel Only Shows Small Fraction Of Rows In Large File?
Jun 26, 2013I have a file that has been produced using Statistica software. The file is supposed to have around one million rows, and when exported to Excel the file is about 30 MB. When I open the .xlsx file in Excel 2010 only two pages of data appear. The rows also have weird numbering. The first square of the A column is A1. The second is A3833, the third is A6789, then A8161, then A8162, then A8163, then A8164, then A18070.
The scroll button to the left of the screen is long, as if the document was only two pages long. When the scroll button is click-and-dragged a small beige square appears with a row number. This small square seems to be aware that not all rows are shown as it shows many more rows than are visible to me.
