Macro To Import .DAT File
Dec 20, 2006
I would like to have a macro that will allow me to browse to the desired file and import the data into columns. I have the macro working to the point of allowing me to browse, select the file, and pasting the contents into the active sheet.
The things that I need help with are:
1. Getting the data to paste into a specific cell instead of A1. Currently the code is
CELLS.SELECT
ACTIVESHEET.PASTE
I would like the data to start in A7.
2. Getting the file parsed into columns. The format of the .DAT file is static and only has 4 columns. Currently when it imports, the entire record (row) all of the data is in the same column. I would like it separated into individual columns if possible.

I wish to click on a button in a worksheet which then looks in a particular folder on the local drive. Any file with a .xml extension import into the worksheet.
What if 2 or more xml files are present? The xml file filename ends with the date & time the file was generated, eg BPSEvent_10033_Tam_20140116124216
Can a code look for the oldest file to import based on the end of the filenaming format - yyyymmddhhmmss
Code to then delete the last xml file imported would be good too.

I have 400+ workbooks in a folder. If they are all .xlsm (macro-enabled) workbooks, how can I import a macro (.cls file) to a particular sheet (sheet1) in each workbook using VBA so that when a user on another machine opens one of them, the macro works? Right now, I have this code to loop through all workbooks; I only need the import function to go in the middle. Copying and pasting or importing manually 400+ times is just plain unrealistic!
VB:
Sub OpenfileUpdate()
Dim strFile As String
mFolder = "C:files1Files"
strFile = Dir(mFolder & "*.xlsm*")
Do While strFile <> ""
[Code]....

Attached 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.

I'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

I get the following error:
"Run-time error '1004': "cmc4906.xls" File cannot be found.
Check the spelling of the file name and verify that the file
location is correct."
I am not trying to open a xls file. The path is clear and there are no file names with extensions in the path name (C:Weekly). I'm unclear of why the code thinks its looking for file cmc4906.xls and a xls file at that.
Sub Import()
Dim inputfile As Variant
Dim path As Variant
path = ("C:Weeklys")
inputfile = Dir("C:Weeklys")
Do While inputfile <> ""
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=inputfile, Origin:=437, StartRow _

Below 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") = ""
[Code]...
Cancel:
MsgBox "No XML Selected"
End Sub

Actually i've downloaded Tracking report of my SPO and this report is on 4-5 csv files (1 file per week). I have to gather data from these 4 files into one Worksheet. I have to do this with command button on my worksheet; with Open file dialogue box (i want to locate the csv files).
CSV files are something like that (I need only first 4 columns):
ABCDE1Name MSISDN Date Location MapLink 2M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 20:36:18" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 3M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 19:36:26" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 4M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 16:39:58" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 5M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 15:37:23" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 6M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 14:37:05" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com"
and my Worksheet is like that (With a command Button):
I want to import first 3 columns of csv file on first 3 columns on my worksheet; leave 2 columns blank and then import the 4th column... now for example i have done importing data from 1st csv file and the data is on 50 rows.. i click the command button again, locate the 2nd csv file.. do the same thing (import 1st 3 columns, 2 blank, then 4th) --from 51st Row-- and so on...

I 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.

I have a CSV file which I want to import in excel. There are many text entries after the comma that starts with = and +.
When I imported this csv to excel then excel uses its mathematical logic that and gives a result #Name?
I tried reformatting these cells to treat as Text field only but that did not work.
I would like to maintain these text fields that starts with = and + .

I have several files from different departments that I have to extract sections of data from and compile into one central file for reporting.
I am very new to VBA but would like to set up a button so that I can import data from closed files in different departmental directories. I have recorded a macro and got it to work if the file is open but I can't seem to get it to work if the file is closed.

At work I have a folder full of .bas files containing useful UDF's.
At the moment I am the only person in my team that makes use of these files as importing a .bas file is beyond the rest of the team (i.e. then know it contains code so they get scared).
What I'd like to do is create a workbook where they can select one of the files (each file contains a single UDF), maybe see what it does (I put an explanation in the Comments section of the properties for each file) and then have it automatically imported into the workbook of their choice so they can make use of these functions.
