Automated Import Of User Chosen File
Sep 23, 2009I am trying to do an automated import, the file I'm importing comes out of an application and in its properties just shows "file" so I can't use the standard text file methods. I originally recorded a macro for the automation and have tried to amend it.
I think it is falling over in the Destination stage, or maybe I need something instead of where the ". Name =" would normally go?
Private Sub All Files()
Dim sFilename
sFilename = Application _
. GetOpenFilename("All Files (*.*), *.*")
If sFilename <> False Then
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=sFilename _
, Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A4"))
'.Name = "All Files"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True

Speed Up A Macro (text File Import)
Jan 13, 2010Attached is a workbook that takes an imported text file, inserts rows with text.
It is SLOW, you can watch each line being inserted with the text, I would think with such a small sample dataset it would be much much quicker.
Information: See attached xls file.
On sheet1 is the imported data, sheet2 is a copy of the imported data so one can copy and paste to sheet1 as needed with out re-importing for test purposes and only for this query. (Sheets2 thru 3 are not used otherwise).
There is a command button on sheet one which will run macro "aaa". If you run this you will see how slow it is and exactly what it is doing.
I am simply looking for a way to speed this up, I have some files that are 10 times the size of the sample data and they take 10 or more minutes to run.
Macro To Import Data From Text File
Jun 11, 2014I've never actually had a reason or need to use macros for data import or manipulation. At the moment I'm trying to work on a modeling problem which will output the data in the form of a large text file. The data is divided up using 1000 energy bins, and 1000 timing bins for each tally (unique set of output data) like in this file [URL].....Unfortunately because of the applications for the data I can't reduce the number of bins, and the software being used for the modeling will not provide a more convenient form for the output file.
How to create a macro that can extract this data from the output file and import it into a designated excel spreadsheet. It would be preferable to import each set of tally data from the initial output file into it's own spreadsheet, but as I said I have no experience using macros and I'm not even sure where to begin in making something that would work. or even a basic source for examples

VBA - How To Import Selected Text File To Temporary Worksheet Using Macro
Aug 5, 2013Below is the code I currently use to do the following which creates service reports.
When you click on the command button you can choose any XML file you want to import. This file is copied to a temporary worksheet where i selectively choose cells to populate textbox's which later populate my reports. What I want to do is the same exact thing but with a text file. Not all text files are the same length so it needs to be able to have a range. Here's my working code.
For Each SheetName In Array("Maintenance Data Sheet")
With Sheets(SheetName)
.Range("B127") = ""
.Range("U127") = ""
.Range("AJ127") = ""
.Range("AV127") = ""
.Range("AY124") = ""

Import Text File Into File Where Rows Exceed Excel Row Limit
Jun 3, 2009I have a workbook with many spreadsheet named Sheet1, Sheet2 and so on. Each sheet is filled completely upto 65536 rows. This data is being picked up from a CSV file. In this file there are sites with each site there is a assciated set of data. What happens is the data that extracts data does not differntiate between sites and when it reaches to the end of worksheet it splits the data into next sheet. So I am trying to create a macro to check each spreadsheet starting with the last sheet in the work book for example last sheet in the workbook is seven it should go to sheet6 and if there is a blank row after row 64000 it should cut all the rows and move them to sheet7. Then it should goto sheet5 and do the same and keep on doing it until it reaches sheet1.
View 9 Replies View RelatedText File Import With Text To Columns Splitting Same Text Differently
Nov 21, 2007I have a macro which imports data from a mainframe dump text file and performs 'Text to Columns' on the imported data so that formula in the spreadsheet can act on the data. The code works perfectly well when I use it, but if a different user logs on and performs exactly the same mainframe dump and import macro the Text to Columns action splits the raw data in a different way and the result is that the split renders the formulae useless.
I've experimented a little and for some reason it appears that the 'Field Info' parameters which are produced when the Text to Columns function is recorded in a macro differ between users even though the raw data is exactly the same.
FieldInfo:= _
Array(Array(0, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(56, 1), Array(70, 1), Array(88, 1), _
Array(102, 1))

Jun 21, 2007I found this question from 2004 but it has expired so I could not quote or reply to it. It can be found at Open file search and import text file This was the question:
I'm looking for some code that i can attach to a command bar which allows the user to browse and search for any text file on their C:Drive and then import it. I think i can work out the import using the data import wizard and macro recorder.
Sub DoIt()
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogImportTextFile).Show
End Sub
The original person said they can work out the import using the wizard, but my users are not tech savvy and therefore I was wondering if I could automate the text file showing up in the excel sheet ( named 'Import') after selecting the text file (instead of going to the wizard). I have attached a sample text file for an example (first row being a header)

Import Specific Cells From A User Chosen Spreadsheet
Nov 24, 2009I need to import some spreadsheets that are sent to me into a master database spreadsheet. I have attached both below. The complaintstest.xls is the master database and the other is the sheet that will be imported. What I would like to happen is when the macro is run, the user will be able to select the sheet they would like to import through a dialog box. After the sheet is selected the macro will import the cells from the selected sheet into the master database in a particular order. In the master database example on row 2 I have listed the columns from the sheet to be imported in the corresponding column on the database sheet. This will macro will be run a couple of times a week so the macro will have to find the next empty row to start the import on.
