I have a TXT file that is properly format for a nice print out but not in any fashion to work in an excel or access file.
My txt file looks something like this
Header info Row 1
Header info Row 2
Header info Row 3
ACCT# Value Descripton ~ Part number
Customer Name ~ Vendor Name
Customer add1 ~ Vend add1
Customer add2 ~ Vend add2
Custom city, st, zip ~ vend city, st, zip
Repeat about 5 or 6 more entries
do a page bread and repeat the headers and then 5 or 6 more entries
I want to automatically copy the entries and place the data into Row 1 of Excel starting in Column 1 through Column 12
I am trying to use a dynamic VBA code to import data into a xcel sheet from another sheet. I currently have it working but in the code I have the directory and the file name listed for the file to be imported. I would like to change this to a cell referance inside my sheet so that I can make changes to the name of the file or the directory location and the VBA code would use the cell reference as the source data.
how to make a button(s) which will import data. I have to make a report and import some cells from 350 other excel files. Report is attached to this post. In the yellow cells should be buttons. The code for first one is :
after importing data (data >> get external data >> import text file) and running a macro that contains
Cells(i, 5).EntireRow.Delete Shift:=xlShiftUp
i cannot insert any data into the next column below. why is this so? is it because of the excel memory that remembers that a macro has been previously ran in that cell before? example i import text file into B1 then the data will be imported into different cells using delimiters. the data will occupy from row 1 to 22. After i run the macro which combines fields with similar data the data will occupy row 1 to 15. then when i try to import data into B16. the "import text file" option will be grayed out. why is this so? how do i solve the problem?
I've got a spreadsheet listing applications on PCs (assets), one line per application, and need to import that info into another document for each PC and save it with a file name which = the PC name (asset number). I've attached a couple of sample files to try to explain what i mean.For asset number PC037014 I need the corresponding fields filled and the list of applications pasted under where is says Additional Software List (inserting more rows if there are too many applications to fit in). Once the information has been populated, i'd like the file to be saved in a specific folder then move onto the next asset number in the list.
I've created an Auto_Run macro that imports a CSV file into a specified worksheet. That worksheet is referenced by VlookUp in another worksheet within the workbook. Everything works perfectly EXCEPT, in the midst of running the macro, the user is prompted to (RE)choose the csv file already specified in the macro. Neither the folder nor the filename ever changes, so I'm not sure why I have to keep indicating the file every time the macro runs.
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 am attempting to modify VBA code from [URL] .....
The section of the code I want to modify is below dealing with importing selective text. The original function returned a "False" if the line contained a keyword specified in the Array function. I have reworked it so that it shows a "True" if the line contains a keyword specified in the Array function.
My only problem is that it only does it when the keyword appears in the beginning of the line, as it uses the "Left" operator in looking at line. How do I configure the function so that it returns a "True" if the keywords appears anywhere in the line?
I'm having difficulty trying to get the second file appended to the bottom of the 1st imported file. I get "run-time error '13' type mismatch". There is no difference between the two files. I'm thinking there is a problem with my range statement in the second file import, but this range works fine in other macros. Here's my code so far:
I have only ever created macros in existing workbooks. Is there an easy way to copy a macro from one workbook to another, without having to run a new macro in the new workbook and then paste the code into it from the old workbook?
I have managed to come up with the following macro. The problem I have is that some of the data are imported in text format, while other data are imported in general format.
I have a large data set, with more then 5,000 rows, and 2,000 columns, and I would like ALL the data imported at text. How can I modify this macro to make that happen?
Code:
Sub ImportData() With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _"TEXT;C:Users*****ATTRIBUTES-ModifiedExport.csv", Destination:=Range("$A$1")) .Name = "ATTRIBUTES-ModifiedExport.csv" .FieldNames = False .RowNumbers = False .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
I want to be able to run a macro that will export some of the data from a worksheet called Generated Report into another worksheet called Matrix. The data will be taken Generated REport and grouped into sections of the worksheet. These sections will be defined by the BRID value.
The Data that i want to export will be from the first 5 columns within the Generated Report(note there are other columns which data is not required from).
The following columns will be exported from Generated Report -
BRID,Requirement, Bug Description, Bug ID and Alt Bug ID.
BRIDRequirement Bug DescriptionBUG ID Alt Bug ID PQ115 PQ115-Login Bug Description text xihllloloj43712 123 PQ116PQ116-Landing Bug Description text ghghghgoot 43713 126
For Matrix
The data will be imported into Matrix worksheet into the following columns as part of the row headings
- Requirement, Description, Bug ID and VF Bug ID.There will also be other columns (outlined below) which i will use to manually enter data
The data will be grouped and imported into the relevant section by its BRID eg PQ115, PQ116 etc.
I want each section (marked by BRID number)to be separated by row headings.
These row headings are to be generated after populating all data within each BRID number.
When the data has been populated in each row there is a column called 'Status' which contains drop down list boxes which can be assigned.
The default status will be set to 'To Do'. The complete row headings are displayed with Output from Generated Report underneath
BRID Priority Requirment Description BugID Alt Bug ID PC UpdateNotes Actual Result Type of DEfect Test Status Tested by PQ115 PQ115-Login Bug Description text xihllloloj43712 123 To Do
BRID Priority Requirment Description BugID Alt Bug ID QC UpdateNotes Actual Result Type of DEfect Test Status Tested by PQ116 PQ116-Landing Bug Description text ghghghgoot43713 126 To Do
So far the macro that i have been using allows me to locate the data for each specific BRID in Generated Report and copy into the corresponding BRID section within the Matrix. I have to repeat this step for each new BRID and i want to be able to whole automate this process.
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.
The following code (blue font) finds specific worksheets in an active workbook, and copies them into a new workbook then names the new workbook the same name of the worksheet. It all works perfectly.
The second code below (red font) imports some vb into the new workbook. It works fine if I manually open the new workbook and run it in the immediate window. However, I would like to incorporate the red code into the blue code so it all runs as one. I've tried inserting the red line after the "ws.copy after" line and after the ".saveas" line, but no dice.
For Each ws In wb.Worksheets If UCase(Left(ws.Name, 2)) = "CC" Then Set NewBook = Workbooks.Add
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.
1. I've recorded a macro that imports values from 6 different .csv files at once. The problem is that not all of these files are going exist upon import. Is there a way to tell the macro to only import if the file exists? And to skip if the import of that file if it doesn't exist? Right now the debugger stops the macro because of file not found.
2. I want to press a button on Sheet 1 that copies Sheet 1 into a new Sheet that's named with today's date. E.g. I press the "Archive"-button, the sheet is copied to a new sheet with the name "051308".
I'm trying to create a macro that will import data from another excel file, into my current excel file.
Basically, I see the process going as follows: 1. Run Macro via Button 2. Pop-Up Window asking for File Location (importBook) 3. Import Data from importBook into sheet entitled Data 4. Click OK once import is complete
I've got some knowledge of coding but macro coding knowledge is limited. If anyone has an existing code or can whip one up, I would be very appreciative.
I started out with this
Dim filename As Variant filename = Application. GetOpenFilename() Workbooks.Open filename
I did a macro the import a log file from a specific directory and now i want that the user could enter the path of the directory that contain the file Is there a way to do it?

i have soccer table 1 sheet is "teams" which is the table of the league. 1 sheet is "games" which is the table of games of the league the last sheet called "import by date". in the end of every game day i sent email with the results of current day. for now im copy and pate all results and its not that easy and convenient. i want to make some formula that when i click in import data sheet the date its shows me all the results from that date. i try to do it with pivot table but didnt like how it displayd
I have a tedious task of copy/paste from our website. have a look at below sample data. I have around 1500 rows of data like this.
Sheet1 A B
[Code]....
Column A has input data which i need to copy and paste in a web form. Column B will have results scrapped form webpage[ URL]. This webpage will need login details
If a code can be written which take value form column A of spreadsheet and paste in webpage like shown in above image and hit search button. Next webpage will be loaded with number of results like shown in below. Take the number of results and paste in column B of spreadsheet.
I've got a basic handle on the application/use of macros, & personally use them for cleaning up data exported from a very very old as400esq application.
My problem is that i have managed to clean up all the blank data & piffle, but Im stupped by the header part of the text dump.
Heres an example; A B C D E F -------------------Header A------------- 1 3 john 50 piano 4 1 Bill 25 horn 6 5 Ted 60 trumpet -------------------Header B------------- 3 3 Phil 71 Cello 1 1 James 83 Viola 3 2 Earnie 62 Violin
I basically want to rid the header rows from the spreadsheet & drop the header description (Header A/ Header B) into column F for all those items below until you get to the next header.
I need to import a number of log files into a spreadsheet, each log will go into a separate tab. The logs are text files (.log) that have the same structure but slightly differ from each other.
For example all the logs will have many lines of data all starting with a date and then a number of delimited fields. In some logs the delimiter is a coma, in others is a unique charachter such as "{" or "@". Also the delimited fields are not a given quantity, they can vary too from log to log. How can I write a macro that understands what delimiter needs to be used and then imports all the file accordingly into one spreadsheet (in separate tabs)?
I tried something with the macro recorder and browsed for directions on the internet but really am clueless on this one. I am using windows 2000, and referenced Windows Scripting Runtime.
I want to automate the download process of these scan files we use. I can figure out how to do that if not for the two wildcards I'm about to throw out.
What I can't seem to figure out is how to use VBA to determine which files to import. I was thinking about possibly having VBA look for the time stamps on these files in the scan file directory, and then only import those ones which created in less than an hour from current time.
I have only a few days of VBA experience, so I don't have a clue where to start. If anyone could provide assistance/point me in the right direction.
By the way, the files that I am importing will be a comma delimited file. However, for some reason, the files are all extensionless (without .xxx)
