Prevent Multiple Commas In Text File

Nov 30, 2007

I have a spreadsheet that is produced by a macro. This spreadsheet has a table of 30 rows and 24 columns pasted into it from another spreadsheet. The first 6 rows of vary between containing 1 and 6 columns of data. The next 17 rows always have 24 columns of data. The last row has 1 column of data. The macro saves this spreadsheet as a .csv file. The macro works great, but when I open the .csv file in notepad all the rows have 23 commas, even for the rows with only a few columns of data. Here is a shorten example of the file when opened in Notepad....

Is there anyway to have the macro not insert the commas in the first 6 rows for columns on the right side of the last column of data? I need the data to be formatted in the format shown below.

Prevent From Formatting Text File?

Jul 23, 2009

When I export my files onto text and open it with Excel, it will automatically format the cells to take out leading zeros, convert to scientific notation, and convert certain numbers into date/month/year format. How can I get Excel to open my file without reformatting the numbers in my text file?

Prevent Superfluous Quotations On Text File Import

Jun 28, 2008

I need to format an Excel spreadsheet into a comma delimited text file. I have saved the file as a text file, I have suceeded at making it comma delimited. In the text import wizard I have also selected no text qualifier.

However when the file is imported everything works fine but some quotation marks pop up at the beginning and at the end. The quotations are not part of the file and I have already chosen no text qualifier. How do I get rid of the quotation marks so that they do not appear when the file is imported?

Attached is a sample of the file.

Tab Delimited File Saves Commas As Dot

Jan 30, 2008

I'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

Macro To Save As CSV File With Extra Commas

Mar 6, 2012

I created a macro to save an active sheet as a CSV file. Two issues arise out of that effort. One is that I can't seem to get the environment variable right to allow any user to save the file to the root of their My Documents folder on their home directory in a domain environment. That way the template will work for everyone and requires no user intervention. Tried using the % with HOMEPATH, but I must somehow have the syntax off.

Secondly, the file being saved as a CSV file is creating a huge several megabyte file with empty lines of commas.

Sub Macro2()
Sheets("Results").Select
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"\%HOMEPATH%My DocumentsTesting.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSVMSDOS, _
CreateBackup:=False
Application.WindowState = xlNormal
End Sub

Thought it should be CSV MS DOS file type, but that doesn't seem to work either. I only want to save the rows with data on the active sheet to a CSV file, which will not have all the extra lines of commas.

Saving Multiple Workbooks At One Time/file As A Text File

Mar 16, 2007

found the following code which works for 1 workbook at a time. I am trying to save 7 workbooks at 1 time. Is it possible?

Sub SaveAsCell()
Dim strName As String

On Error Goto InvalidName
strName = Sheet1. Range("V77")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strName

It will work on the first sheet but none after that. I need to have each workbook saved with the value in cell V77. Also if that is possible, is it possible to change where the file is saved as well?

Right now I have a master workbook that will open the 7 other workbooks, paste data onto several pages in each workbook. I would like the macro to save the workbooks. The workbooks are named: 02 Tuesday, 03 Wednesday, 04 Thursday, 05 Friday, 06 Saturday, 07 Sunday, 08 Monday.

Excel 2010 :: Export Selection To MSDOS CSV File With 12 Commas?

Nov 28, 2012

Currently using Excel 2010 and looking for a macro that will export a selection (will be part of a column that I select) and export as an MS-DOS CSV file (no quotes around values, each row on different line) with 12 commas after each value in the selection.

Attached is an example of how I would like the output to appear, with the selected values only have four numbers in them. If possible, I would like a dialog box to appear for saving the file to a directory and name that I chose.

Expanding Out Lists Of Text With Commas?

Apr 5, 2013

So, I have a list of data like this:

Type
Variety
Country of Origin
Price

[Code]....

Obviously I can do this using text to columns and transpose but typically I'm dealing with much bigger sheets where being able to do this automatically is a big time saving.

The column with commas in it can vary in position so I'd like this to work on the cell/column that is selected.

Ideally I'd like it to work it's way down the sheet expanding out every comma separated list in the selected column in this fashion but even something that worked on the current cell would be handy.

I think roughly I need to split the cell into an array using the comma as a seperator, possibly scrub the spaces from the text, copy the row as many times as there are things in this array (using ubound?) and then transpose the array into an area starting at the selected row and going down as far as there are things in the array but a bit lost with actual implementation.

table.tableizer-table {
border: 1px solid #CCC; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}

Looping, Open Text File, Copy Text, Close Text File

Sep 18, 2009

I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:

1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row)
2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders
3) Put the folder name into I2
4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this)
5) Close the text file
6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)

Stop Saving File As Another Name. Prevent SaveAs

Dec 13, 2006

I already have a macro that on opening the workbook checks to see if the workbook has been renamed outside excel in windows and if so closes the workbook. I need a macro to intercept the save as command and prevent the user from saving the workbook as another name. I would however still like the user to be able to save. I would also like them to be able to save the workbook in another directory but only with the same workbook name.

Copy Range From Multiple Workbooks With Specific Text In File Name

Nov 8, 2008

That does allow me to filter the output in Master, but ideally what I would want to do is not have to set aside 300 lines in the Master file for each of the Staff files. Conceptually, I'd like to have the spreadsheets Staff A, Staff B, etc. look for and export only lines which have data in them and then have Master bring those lines in automatically. This may not be possible, in which case your suggested solution is the best approach.

Import Text Dialogue/Wizard: Select File Once For Multiple Queries

Aug 7, 2006

I am importing a text file that has a lot more than 256 columns. The data will be updated weekly with a different text file. I know how to get past the 256 column limit when importing a text file like this. This link explains the method I am using to import the text file. [url] Since I am importing onto several sheets I get the dialogue box asking me to choose a file to import from for every sheet when I use RefreshAll. The same file that is used by the first sheet will be used by the rest of the sheets. Each sheet just imports a different section of columns from the text file. I want to avoid choosing the same file 30 plus times (once for each sheet) when I click refresh all. Is there a code that would allow me to choose the file for the first sheet, and the other sheets would follow suite?

Excel 2003 :: Prevent Conversion Of XLS File To A Newer Format?

Mar 27, 2013

Is there a way to disable the Convert button on the File menu and also to limit the Save As file types? I have a workbook that I maintain in Office 2003 that gets filled out by customers and returned. When a user with a newer version of Excel converts the file, it doesn't function properly when I go open it. I believe the conversion issue has to do with Active X Controls, but I'm using them to do some things that won't work with Forms Controls, so replacing them would be a last resort. Also, upgrading Office isn't an option at this point.

Detect/Prevent Text

Jun 6, 2007

In column A i have a range of dates
In column B i have a range of descriptions
In column C i have formula which calculates an interest figure based on the date entered in column A and a date entered in a cell elsewhere. It also makes the cell display a couple of different strings of text if conditions are not met e.g. It displays "too early" if the date entered is more than 4 years before the date entered in the cell elsewhere

The problem that im having is this:

When i try to calculate column C i want it to throw an error if there is anything but a numeric value in the column. But it is obviously considering the cells in column C with for e.g. "too early" as a "0". I have tried all sorts of formula to do this to no avail, IFTEXT, IFNUMBER, ISTEXT, ISNONTEXT etc etc.

Insert Text To One File - Remove Text From Equivalent Column In Another File?

Aug 13, 2013

Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:

Project 1 before and after changes:
Attachment 257366
Attachment 257367

Project 2 before and after changes:
Attachment 257368
Attachment 257369

You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).

Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.

Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.

Looking To Prevent Duplicate Text In Cell

May 7, 2009

I have one main tab which I pull data from other various tabs. To match data the data, I create a "common unique ID", in other words I create a column on each tab and connect various cells with the ampersand.

So in each of the various tabs (and the main tab), I'll have a column with something like =A2&B2&C3

If the "unique ID" matches between the tabs it will pull back the desired phrase, or it will be left blank. (Just using an =IF(ISNA) formula)

If you have followed so far, on my main tab, I have a column for each of the various tabs. The information I am trying to match could be on any of the tabs, so I need a column using an =IF(ISNA) formula to attempt to match each tab. So, on the main tab, there are several columns which might have the phrase I am looking for. I use another ampersand function to add those columns. My problem is that occaisionally, what I am looking for is on multiple tabs. So, if I am normally pulling the phrase "Pending Loans Report" when a match is made, if it is on two tabs, the cell will add it twice "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report"

I realize this is confusing, so I attached a spreadsheet. The "main" tab I was referring to is sheet1. I really simplified it down to post here, but I think the main idea of my problem is still evident. The problem is line 15. Note how column M has "Pending Loans ReportPending Loans Report" - I'd like it to only say this phrase once. The macro pastes special values at the end, but I've highlighted some cells in red which show the formulas I used for that column. Columns N, O, P, Q, etc. all have virtually the same formula.
