I recently built an Excel macro that takes a manually generated accessible-text file made using Adobe Acrobat, parses it and processes the data in a number of ways. Rather than open the text file I would like instead to open the original PDF, save or export it in accessible-text format (not plain text) then process the data. I've been able to find some code that opens the pdf then saves it as plain text but then half the data is missing; thus, I need to save it as accessible text.
Here's the code I've found that works that I'm currently using (I realize it's probably JavaScript but it seems to get the job at least partly done
VB:
Sub test()
Dim AcroXApp As Object
Dim AcroXAVDoc As Object
Dim AcroXPDDoc As Object
[Code] .....
Perhaps there's an alternate format in which to save rather than "plain-text", but I just can't seem to find out what it is.
Sometimes Excel just stops processing certain formulas on a worksheet and considers the as plain text (regardless of the fact that the cell contents starts with an equation sign "="). For example formula "=1+2" doesn't show anymore as "3" but as "=1+2", as if it's only a string of text .But if I type the same formula in the cell next to it, it shows the correct result "3".
Also, when I try to evaluate the formula, excel tells me that "the cell currently being evaluated contains a constant" -- so its not about wether my formulas are "visible" (tools-options-view-formulas) or not. The number of my formulas asre always under the maximum 1024 characters.
I m trying to write a macro which could take the text from a single column row T2 to row T313 and write it to a .txt file. Have the .txt file name created by the text in T4 or I could also put the text to name the file in T1 if you think it would be easier.
Then carry on to the next named sheet and produce another .txt file in exactly the same way until all 15 sheets have been completed. It would also be helpful if prior to starting to write each text files, it could test for any text in cell A2 of the sheet. The first empty A2 cell of a sheet would determine the end of the run, if it was prior to sheet 15 being reached.
- I have excel file with data I need - I have fixed txt(html) template that i need to integrate Excel information into - Final result that I want to achieve is saved .txt(html) file with combination of fixed information (text) and data from excel cells.
I need to writing a VBA code for each of above (integrating text & cells, saving results as text)
Could any Excel wiz out there tell me whether the following is possible, and if so what would be the VB code to do it?
I would like a macro that will save the contents of cell A2 in a text file, with file name from cell A1, then move the cursor down to the next row, and repeat the process until reaching the last row of data.
The end result would be a stack of text files, each containing the data from a single cell in the spreadsheet.
e.g. 001.txt (containing the contents of cell A2) 002.txt (containing the contents of cell B2) 003.txt (containing the contents of cell C2) ...etc.
This is for a multi lingual dictionary so the text files would have to be unicode as well.
In my excel file I have chinese and some other special characters and many cells have text with commas.
My problem starts when I try to save my file as a Text.
When I Save As with the Unicode option I can see the chinese characters in my text file but also I see a lot of quotes """ because I have commas in my xls file.
When I Save As with Tab Delimited option to solve the comma problem, the chinese characters become?
It seems that cannot be possible to do it manually cause there is no option to Save As with Unicode and Tab option together.
So I would deeply appreciate someone could give me a solution with VBA code to save my file as Text with Unicode and Tab Delimited option.
I have a file consisting of many sheets. I need a macro that saves the file as a normal excel file, that is just a normal save as function. This I have. But then I also want the macro to save one of the sheets as a .txt file. This is what I got from reading this outstanding forum. But this saves all my sheets as seperate .txt files
Sub wsToText() Dim ws As Worksheet Application. ScreenUpdating = False Application.DisplayAlerts = False For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets Sheets(ws. Name).Select Sheets(ws.Name).Copy ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:Documents and Settings1kitvelDesktop" & ws.Name & ".txt", _ FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False ActiveWorkbook.Close ThisWorkbook.Activate Next End Sub
I am copying a sheet out to a new workbook in order to save as a CSV file. I was wondering if there was a better way of doing this than the code below which uses ActiveWorkbook to determine the newly copied sheet.
Sub test() Dim OutputFile As Workbook, InputFile As Workbook Dim sDD As Worksheet Set InputFile = Workbooks.Open("H:TestTestInput.xls") Set sDD = InputFile.Worksheets("Data Dump") sDD.Copy Set OutputFile = ActiveWorkbook OutputFile.SaveAs Filename:="H:TestTestOutput.csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV End Sub..................
I have a spreadsheet that I drop data into and it updates a set range on the sheet. I than have to copy that range in to notepad and save it under the name "Hourly Team Stats - 2-2-14" on our companies shared drive. If the file is already there, I have to add the data to that file rather than create a new one.
I am looking for macro that check to see if the file has already been created, if not create a new one. If it does exist, add the range to the file. If you need the path its F:Team Stats.
In Cell N1 i have 02/02/09 but i have formatted it to look like Feb Invoices 2009. In the strpath below it saves the file to a folder In desktop/"Cell N1" But it tries to save it as c:Documents and SettingsDaveDesktop229 I would like it to save as c:Documents and SettingsDaveDesktopFeb Invoices 2009. Also if the folder does not exist the macro fails. How can change this macro to
1. Change the folder from 020209 to Feb Invoices 2009 2. If folder does not exist then create it.
I want to get a vba which will convert an excel with different tabs to individual text files. IT MUST BE PIPE DELIMITED.
So if there is an .xls file with 5 different tabs, i should get 5 text files with each text file getting name of the worksheet it was created from.
I have a similar code but somehow it is doing the conversion only for last worksheet, also it is saving the file in the same name as workbook.
Code: Sub save_as_text() Dim i As Long, txt As String, delim As String delim = "|" With ActiveSheet.UsedRange For i = 1 To .Rows.Count txt = txt & vbCrLf & _ Join(Evaluate("transpose(transpose(" & .Rows(i).Address & "))"), delim) Next End With Open Replace(ThisWorkbook.FullName, ".xls", ".txt") For Output As #1 Print #1, Mid$(txt, 2) Close #1 End Sub
I am using the following code to import a number of text documents into the same workbook, on seperate sheets and then to save the workbook as an excel file. the problem is that when the file tries to save (red section) I get a message telling me that Excel can not save the workbook in the requested format, I think because it is still trying to save them as text files rather than as an excel workbook. When I try to save manually, selecting .xls as the format it works fine, but I would really like this to be part of the macro to ensure the WB is saved.
Sub ImportFiles() Dim Sfile As String Dim count As Integer Dim ans As String Dim A As Integer Dim FileSaveName As String count = 0 Application.DisplayAlerts = False Do ' Allow user to select the file to open, text files only Sfile = Application. GetOpenFilename("Text Files(*.txt), *.txt") ' Check that a file has been selected If Sfile <> "False" Then......................
I have a folder that has a bunch of text files in it with numeric names (they are store numbers 2, 3, 165, 188, etc...). I need to open those files (in excel), run a macro on them (this portion of the macro has already been created), and then save them with the same name as the txt file but in an xls format and close. It would be great to have the whole folder process automatically but I am willing to start small. Further, I'd like it to not ask for a filename, and I don't want to see the SaveAs dialog box. So far I have been able to get the macro to run through the my processing of the text file all the way to the SaveAs portion, but the code in my macro opens the SaveAs box and puts the filename of the txt file in the file name box in quotes with the txt extension. Below is the code.
1. Search an excel sheet "column" for a particular type of text and insert values based on that text (if found) in another column.
e.g I have column A1 to A10 with different types of text. I would like to search for the keyword "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" for each cell in the column and insert a "1" if found beside it's corresponding "B" column. If not found, I would like to insert a "0".
So, if the text "Risk is high" OR "Risk=High" was only found in A6, I would like B6 to be "1". Rest of the values in the B column would be "0's", since the text was not found in any of the other cells.
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.
I do have the below code to safe a file and close it:
Sub Save_Close() ' ' Save_Close Macro ' ' ActiveWorkbook.Save Application.Quit End Sub
I would like to do additionally something else. I need a macro to do the above, but it should first check if cells A2:C9 do contain text. The text could be anything.
If there is text in ALL the cells, then the macro should save and close the file. If there is text missing in at least one of the cells, a message box should appear saying 'Please fill out all cells'.
I'm using a code to copy text from a word doc into a spreadsheet. It does it all right, but when it comes to saving, it does not save the open worksheet and prompts me to save as a copy. If I do so, nothing is changed in the original file and the copy file has the information copied from the word file.
This is the code I'm using to write and save the spreadsheet.
I also use VBA in a terminal emulation program that I use the following command to 'screen scrape' the current display memory and quickly Save it to a .txt file:
.SaveDisplayMemory "C:File1.txt", rcOverwrite What I want to do in Excel is, Copy the current selected Range() and Save it to a .txt file.
I know how Save the current Sheet to a .txt file, but can't figure out how to Save just a Range() of cells.
find attached an example of the spreadsheet I am working with. Please bear in mind that this is a much simplified version of the version I am currently working on (which needs to have 1000 lines). What I am trying to achieve is allow my team to enter rows of data into the spreadsheet in a format that they will be familiar with - then hit the button on the sheet which will then take a copy of the second sheet (which looks up against the first) and spit it out in a .txt file ready to be uploaded into our computer system.
The main priority that I need to fix is that when the .txt file is opened in notepad it contains a huge amount of blank data rows at the bottom - I assume that it is taking accross all 65536 lines into the .txt where I only want the rows that have data in them in the .txt. At present our computer system will not accept the .txt due to all the blank rows (its limit is 1000 lines).
I'm trying to create a sub that will save my worksheet to a tab delimited text file anytime there is a change in the worsheet data (all cells are linked to cells in other workbooks). I've figured out the command to save the file
What I am looking to do is create a Dos.bat file to be run in the middle of the night that opens Excel. From there I will need Excel to open a .txt file from a specific folder, format the file, then re-save as an .xls file.
Each of the .txt files in the specific folder is named like the following: BCKLOG_062807 BCKLOG_062707
and a new file is being generated to the folder each night (with the new date in the filename).
Is there a way I can use the macro to loop through only the new files being placed in the folder, since the old files will already have their .xls counterpart saved ???
If this is not a clear enough description, please let me know and I will attempt to explain better.
Want to do something *almost* exactly like a previous post but that post is now closed. Extract Each Sheet To Text File & Save as Sheet Name .txt` I want to extract data from individual worksheets from a workbook in excel to individual text files with the **same name as the original excel file** plus incrementing suffix.
don't delete - this is not a duplicate post. Previous code 1) creates text files with "sheet name" as was the original post's intent (not "file name") and 2) it does not iterate through each sheet (only processes Sheet1 regardless of selected sheet in the workbook)
