Print To Fixed Width File
Apr 4, 2012
I have this data below in an excel worksheet. I'm using the ws.Cells(x,x).Value command to read values from the cells an print them out to a .prn fixed width file. However when it writes it to the .prn file my numeric fields don't have are not 0.00 but 0. And also the numeric fields are left justified I would like them right justified in the .prn file.
Excel Spreadsheet values
1.135.102/29/120.000.001.135.202/29/120.000.00
My output to .prn file looks like below:
1.135.1 02/29/12 0 0
1.135.1 02/29/12 0 0
I would like my output to .prn file to look like the following:
1.135.1 02/29/12 0.00 0.00
1.135.1 02/29/12 0.00 0.00

I am having a problem importing fixed width text files with VBA. I created a user form for a dept to import a number of reports we get as text files into Excel. I imported each line into 1 cell (Column A) in Excel and then used mid functions to split out the columns. Everything works fine on my PC. However, when I use other PCs to import the same files (either off the same shared drive or the PC hard drive) the columns are not splitting in the correct places. Does anybody know what could cause this. Since the columns are splitting based off a fixed number of characters, I'm assuming Excel is somehow distorting a character count while opening the text file. I did notice that if I try to import text files saved on one of our shared drives, they do not import correctly on my PC either. However, if I copy and save the same text file to any of the other shared drives or my PC, it imports with no problems.

I'm trying to create a vb to get all columns on my sheet to have a fixed width.
If I run my sub all columns go back to the set width. But I want the width to reset when the width is changed.

I'm trying to make this macro work to resize images for our fashion Look Book. In theory, it should work. But of course it does not Here is the code we are using:
Code:
Sub BIGcrop()
Selection.Height = 507.6
x = Selection.ShapeRange.Width
y = x / 2
Z = y - 144
[Code]....
I want all my pictures to have a height of 7.05 inches and a width of 4. The height comes out different everytime depending on the scaling of the template I'm using. I need it to adjust accordingly. I'm open to having the image move into merged cells, as long as it will first adjust the height and then crop the sides (so the orientation stays the same).

I need to fixed width-text to column macro and found a reply in the forum.
However, when I apply the macro, the result of zeros in front of figures disappear since the format of value in splitted column doesn't predefined as text
e.g. sample text to split to column:
000122042009ABCDEFG00567
Required result:
0001|22042009|ABCDEFG|00567
when running below macro; result shows:
1|22042009|ABCDEFG|567
(Beginning zeros figures of the first and last column disappear)
Applied Macro:

I have a workbook with multiple sheets that I need to print.
Is there a way to create a fixed print area within which you can mess around with formatting without extending or shrinking the print area?
I have tried adjusting the margins settings so that they are all the same, but this does nothing to keep a fixed print area.

I am trying to fix the width of a column everytime I open it but I can't. After I have fixed the column width and saved it before I close the file, when i reopen it, the column width will expand. The data source of that column is a real time query. I tried to lock the cell but when i locked it, I can't refresh the data from the query as it is locked. So, is there any way for me to achieve that?

I have lots of files I need to read every day. I need to read them in as fixed width - EX: column A is 1-8, column B is 9-12, column C is 13-22, etc. Is there a way to create a VBA macro or something so that I don't have to point and click to draw lines every day when I read in these files?

For a sheet that many non-expert users will use on different systems I need a macro that let's them save, print and send the results of their work. So I made a macro that makes a copy of only 1 sheet of the workbook and saves it with a given name to a given location. The problem is that I want a location prompt to ask the user where they want the file saved, while giving/suggesting them a fixed filename. A lot of different users will make and use their sheets so I need a certain naming policy to manage all the files. (date, location, etc)

I have attempted to alter this example to simply check if the cells are not blank by replacing the "X" with "<>", but I get errors in the SMALL function--it looks like the IF statement is just returning an array with all of the values set to FALSE, and none of the values in the array call out a location of the next filled cell.
How could you alter your fixed XLSX file to check for non-blank cells instead of "X" specifically?

I'm trying take a reference from some workbooks (e.g. WB1.xls,WB2.xls,WB3.xls,...etc)
They are all placed in one folder but there filename is subject to change,
I need to get the result of Cells A1 from WB1.xls+A1 from WB2.xls + A1 from WB3...etc
to shown on AA1 in another workbook(e.g. Collected.XLS)
Is this possible knowing that workbooks filenames are changeable?
Moreover Can the value of A1 from any new workbook added to the same folder be added automatically?...
Can the formula typed in AA1 from Collected.xls be draged down?(So as to show the sum of Cells B1 and C1.....etc) from each workbook?

I've written a Function which will count the number of files in a folder which the modified date equals a fixed date
For example, here, I want the file count which modified date = 01.01.2014
Code:
Function FileCountDate(Path As String, FileType As String) As Long
Dim strTemp As String
Dim lngCount As Long
Application.Volatile
strTemp = Dir(Path & FileType)
Do While strTemp ""
[Code] ......
However I got a #VALUE! error message with this formula:
=FileCountDate("C:Usersjohn.doeDesktopTEST","*")
In the TEST folder there are 4 pdf files so it should return the value of 4.

I inherited the following code from my predecessor:
ps_filename = "C:Example" & which_area_name & Cells(j, 6)
Sheets(sheets_name).Activate
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, PrintToFile:=True, Collate:=True, prtofilename:=ps_filename
Which created postscript files from Excel. I used to run this code while logged on as my predecessor, becuase only she had write permissions on the relevant file (C:Example). However, her account has now been deleted from the system - I have reset the permissions on the folder so that I can write to it, but the PostScript files created do not work - I get the error message that the file is corrupted and cannot be opened, or that there is a syntax error. The files used to work fine when logged in as my predecessor - could it be that? I have also tried to run the code on a different machine/on a different excel file and the problem still occurs.

Instead of me saving a blank text file in the folder where the workbook resides, I would like it incorporated in the macro if possible. The name of the text file would be the value (string?) in cell B5.
Sub MakeTextFile()
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Dim txt As String, r As Range
Dim Answer As String, MyNote As String
MyNote = "Do you have an empty text file ready in the" & vbCrLf & _
"folder where this workbook resides?" & vbCrLf & _
"This text file needs to be named" & vbCrLf & _
"ABCD.TXT"..........................................................................
