Open Large Txt File With Query
Sep 20, 2006
I 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).

I've got a 80 Mb CSV file and would like to open and work with it. Too many lines (90000 or so).
Is there a way to split ( ) this file so I can open two files instead?

my 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.

I 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.

i always receive 200 mb file. which i has, around 10 sheets , with pivot tables and formulas.
i have to open this file update refresh and save as this file, which i am doing via vba.
however the challenge for me here is though i set xl calculation to manual at the begining and xl calculation to automatic at the end. Though i used this code, its taking close to 5 mins to complete this via Vba.
how or what is the alternate way to reduce.

I have a large Excel 2007 file, around 60.000KB. 54.000KB are due to one of the worksheets where I have 8760rows x 160columns with data. The calculation time is not a problem, it is very fast, it only takes 2/3 seconds. The problem is when I open or save the file, it takes around 2 minutes... it is not too much, but it becomes too long when one has to open and save it several times. It there any trick to decrease the time when openning or saving an excel file??

I have an existing application that uses DAO sql queries to populate a form. It has always worked fine. Earlier this week, I password protected the spreadsheet. Now my DAO query fails. I get a run-time error '3161'. Could not decrypt file.
' Const stExtens As String = "Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;"
Const stExtens As String = "Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;PWD=money16;"
Private Sub Execute_Query(SQL)
'Instantiate the DAO objects.
strDb = ThisWorkbook.FullName
Set DAO_ws = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
' code fails on the line below
Set DAO_db = DAO_ws.OpenDatabase(strDb, False, True, stExtens)
Set DAO_rs = DAO_db.OpenRecordset(SQL, dbOpenForwardOnly)

I've run across something a little strange. I have a query (in, say, Workbook A) that links to a table in another Excel workbook (call it Workbook B). If somebody happens to have workbook B open (it's on a network) and I try to refresh the query, it actually opens workbook B to refresh the query. If it's not being used, it just refreshes without opening the file.
The issue is that I'm refreshing using macros, and when another workbook pops open, the macros break when they try to use other sheets and ranges and stuff. Obviously, the simple answer is to just use a whole bunch of "ThisWorkbook" statements to make it work. However, I never wanted the workbook to be open in the first place. What's more, if I refresh the macro again, an additional VBA project opens for workbook B (so, now I'd have 1 project for WB A, and 2 projects for WB B). This just seems odd.
Anyway, my question is this:
1) has anybody seen this before, or is it explainable?
2) Is there a way in VBA to determine if a file is in use prior to opening it?

In order to get inventory data from our Incode database, I've been creating an output file with the extension .IRP Thinking that excel would not bring in this data from the .IRP file directly, I would then create a txt file of it with notepad. I've recently discovered that I can bring it in directly from the .IRP
The file being created is in this format:
IN Stock Status Report - 6385.IRP
The number portion, 6385 in the name will vary everytime I generate a new report. However the text portion will not.
Currently, I've recorded a macro the bring in the data to my excel spreadsheet.
But it will only bring in data for the set filename.

I am trying to export data from Access to an Excel file without saving the file. I have been unable to get my macro to work. Right now when the macro runs it only opens a new Excel workbook but does copy the data into the workbook.
I believe the issue lies in the generated strSQL. I suspect that it has to do with the Status field value equal to IVR Call Needed. Maybe the spaces in the value?
Here is my code.
Code:
Private Sub Export()
'Step 1: Declare your variables
Dim MyDatabase As DAO.Database

I have a model which extracts data from an external data sournce using an ODBC query. This data is then used to generate a pivot table. I have incorporated code to update the query and the pivot table on startup but would like to disable the Enable Query Refresh message box which occurs at startup (it would also be nice to disable the security warning but I know that is a no no)

I want to create a macro that will “open the look in list” and stop so I can pick a file to open. I’ve tried to use “record a macro” and “ctrl-o”, but the record a macro won’t stop until I pick a file or cancel the file list. I also tried to use “o” in the short cut key box

I have a database of 75000 rows in text format which has to be converted to excel, but the limitation in excel is only 65536. hence, I want to a macro that will copy the 1st 65536 rows into the 1st sheet in excel. The remaining rows should be copied into the second sheet. I know that it can be done with access. but i dont want to use access.
I have got a code to do this, but it takes much too long. if the code could be modified to make it faster,
Sub LargeFileImport()

Dim FileName As String
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Double
'Ask User for File's Name

I 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.

I have two workbooks. One is a no-nonsense form interface that my bosses will use to enter safety information. I'll call this workbook "Form". This file is stored locally on each of their computers. The other workbook is stored on a common drive. I'll call it "Master".
When my bosses fill out the Form and click "Submit", the Master file is opened, and certain cells are populated based on information entered in the Form. This is the code I am using to make this happen:

I'm doing the following:
Dim myname As String
myname = Application. GetOpenFilename
I use it to attempt to open first a QuickBooks file and then an excel workbook.
The Quickbooks file opens fine. The Excel workbook never appears to open but
I do get the full file pathname to my excel workbook returned which I then
parse off to get just the workbook name.
Why would it behave this way? I open both these files manually all the time.
Also, I'm trying to use a filter as follows:
myname = Application.GetOpenFilename("*.QBW")
I get a compile error saying that I'm calling the function wrong.

I've been having tremendous issues with my Excel file, mostly with it crashing or not responding. Would this be because my file has so much data in it? If so, is there anyway to make Excel process all the data without crashing so much?

I 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.

My 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.

I'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.

I 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.
I then highlight all the rows and try to delete them, but I receive the following error popup box:
"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??
