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.

Prevent Text Being Split Down Rows On Import

Nov 22, 2007

I have a large sheet that I am having some problems with. The information comes from our database. In column A I have a client code and other information over to column D. In columns E I have dates. These dates have comments that are associated with them entered in column F. The problem is that sometimes these comments wrap into the next cell below. I have done this in the past. But the problem is that in column G there are dates of when the action took place, the issue is that there might be 1 or 10 of these dates per client. And then in Column H there are comments as well that spill into the next cell below.

What I need is to have everything in the first line, the client code over to column E, Combining of the cells in column F that were broken over multiple cells, then in Column G the first date and its combined actions to the right. The next row might have no client code but might have another date in Column G and comments in column H.

This is really hard to explain what I am looking for exactly. I have attached a small file that has an example of what might be downloaded and then a sheet of what I need it to look like when it is done.

Import Text File Into File Where Rows Exceed Excel Row Limit

Jun 3, 2009

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.

Text File Import With Text To Columns Splitting Same Text Differently

Nov 21, 2007

I 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))

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.

I am trying to import a range from a txt file that is not opened. It would be in cell AM2 if opened in excel, or it would be the 38th tab of the 2nd row.

I have it working by opening the file copying the cell and pasting into the destination cell. but I have this looped for each text file in a folder. this takes a very long time.

How can this be done faster? I have been trying to figure out how to use For input as ... but haven't been able to grasp how to manipulate the code.

Automate Text File Import

Jun 21, 2007

I 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 Text File With 2 Rows Per Record Into 1 Row

Jan 10, 2013

I have a text file that contains two rows of data for a single record. when I open the file up in excel, it puts each row into column A. What I need to do is put the 2nd row and combine it with the data in the first row so that i can then run the text to columns wizard and put all the data into its own column.

Here is an example of the data:

TEWAC Dresser Rand SAB 21120-14 1350 1687 3300 80 .80 50 4 2.63 EE-7592 1 2250 46 30.5 14 6

8 14 1 2 .229 .144 2 2 .0303175V/1 HL2 .20 .65 .30 2.0 697 2.150

What it should look like is the following:

TEWAC Dresser Rand SAB 21120-14 1350 1687 3300 80 .80 50 4 2.63 EE-7592 1 2250 46 30.5 14 6 10 12 1 4 .229 .102 2 2 .0303175V/1 HL2 .13 .50 .25 1.5 394 3.000

leaving me with 3 rows and one column of data.

I have multiple files with about 600 rows in each that I need to process.

VBA To Import And Execute Code From Text File

Jul 22, 2014

Is it possible to write a macro that can import VBA code in a text file then execute it? I need this functionality as I have produced a corporate spreadsheet template that goes out to many people and I will need to be able to update it as requirements change once it has been distributed. So my idea was to build a macro in the template that has the code in it to import the "update code" from a text file that I would send to all the folks that have the template. If the template was centralized, that would save me from this issue but it is however going to be distributed widely.
