Save As Text With Unicode And Tab Delimited
Oct 11, 2008
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.

what format is used when you save an excel file as "unicode." I am using excel 2002 on XP.
I have been asked to provide a UTF-8 formatted unicode file for use by another program but I am not sure which formatting excel uses.

I'm trying to create a excel sheet with macros that will generate a tab delimitd file which is a journal voucher and I want to upload that .txt file to our financial system (SAP). When I create a tab delimited file manually, that is I enter all the values in excel and save as .txt it works great. But I have created a spreadsheet where the useres (all employees on the financial departement) enter the info required. I have a macro validating that all fields are correct and so on.. When they are finished they sedt the spreadsheet to me (an excelfile) via email, this is done by a submit buttom(macro) and the I have a hidden sheet in the worksheet which gets all the values that are necessery and then I create my tab delimited file using the well known save as fileformat=xltext macro. But SAP will not accept this file. I get error messages as convertion erros in line 4 column 6 and so on. The sheet which is saved as .txt is 100% with formulas, it gets all the value from another sheet(sheet1). I use the formula =IF(Sheet1!$E17=0;"";Sheet1!E17) in the cells with E17 changing to whatever cell is required. What can be wrong here? May it be that all the formulas (columns A to H and row 2 to 1001) somehow mix it all up and even to the cell is empty is the formula is somehow hidden in the .txt file and that messes it all up??

I use a macro that saves my activesheets in text(tab delimited).
I am trying to find how to save my worksheets as tab delimited files without having to open the notepad later, in order to press the backspace button. Just to clarify more, if a sheet has 15 rows of data, the tab delimited file will be created with 16. Is there a way to save the actual number of rows in the text file or this is a default operation in excel that cannot be changed in any way?

I've been searching for code that will perform the following:
1. Save the current workbook then,
2. Save the current sheet as a tab delimited file to the desktop with the same name as the current workbook then,
3. Return to .xlsx file format
The file saved to the desktop can be overwritten each time the macro is run.

I've a word form that collects free text and tick boxes. I'm reading these into separate rows on an excel sheets. So far what works...
I've got excel vba converting the word to a delimited text file
I've got excel vba to remove the erroneous rtns that people have entered into the free text that was things up.
In the free text there are commas entered as well as the tick boxes and this is a csv. Example
"how do I do this, I don't know",1,1,0,1,"really seems to be a challenge!"
If I just use excel to open the text file then the columns work out ok and on a single row - I think the 'text qualifier' is playing a role here.
But I can't replicate this in VBA. If I record a macro it's a query table and I don't know how to amend the code to read into rows.

In my workbook I have 10 columns with data, starting at A12 and down. This could be several hundred rows.
I would like to export the first three columns only (Column A, B and C). The TXT file should have the following:
First line: "This file was exported from Excel"
Second line: The value of cell B4 of the worksheet
Third line: The value of cell B5 of the worksheet
Fourth line: Today's date ( as 27/Sep/2007)
Fifth line: No entries (Empty row)
Sixth line will be the first numeric transfer. This is cell A12 value, cell B12 value and cell C12 value.
Seventh line: Cell A13 value, cell B13 value and cell c13 value.
etc, until the end or selected amount of rows.
The values of the different columns should be separated by commas
Column A values could be 9 characters (5 numerics with 4 decimals - 12345.6789)
Column B values could be 10 characters (6 numerics with 4 decimals - 123456.7890)
Column C values could be 10 characters (6 numerics with 4 decimals - 123456.7890)
The text file therefor would look as follows:
This file was exported from Excel.
Company ABC
On this continent
27/Sep/2007
123.4567, 23.7654, 123.4567
1234.5678, 123.4567, 987.6543
12345.6789, 6.0000, 2.9876
I tried to adapt jindon's code but no luck.
I am currently doing it the long way.
='[Workbook1.xls]MySheet'!$A12&", "&'[Workbook1.xls]MySheet'!$B12&", "&'[Workbook1.xls]MySheet'!$C12
This works but I really liked what jindon did and wondered if it could be adapted to fit my needs.

I am working with Excel 2003 which has a limit of 256 columns. I often import text files into excel using a very simple macro. I specify the text file's name and location in a cell and then run the macro - it opens the text file, copies the data and pastes it into the worksheet, then delimiting the columns using the semi-colons that seperated the data in the original text file.
However, I now have a text file that would convert into excel as around 1,000 columns and about 20 rows. This obviously causes a problem since my limit is 256 columns in Excel 2003.
Is there any way that Excel can transpose my data when it brings it into the spreadsheet from the text file so that I end up with 20 columns and 1,000 rows? Ideally I'd do this in VBA and add the code onto my existing little macro

am in a time crunch to write VBA code(not use the macro recorder) to do the following:
Input data from a tab delimited Text file into a pre-formatted sheet.
Each column of the text file is as follows (product code, buy/sell, quantity, price, date) Example row below.
YM Buy 50 12800 1/2/2008
Is there code I can use to do this? I need each individual piece of data to import into it's own cell while keeping the Row/column alignment of the original text document.

I have a workbook with sheets of data that should be imported into another system. So i would like some code that does the following:
1.) make a copy of worksheet x and paste (paste special) the values in a new worksheet.
2.) Delete row 1 in new worksheet (the labels)
3.) Ask the user for a file name and path and save the worksheet as a tab delimited txt file.
4.) Delete the worksheet created in 1.)
5.) Leave the user with the original .xls file
I will assign this macro to a button so the experience for the user is:
1.) press button
2.) input file name and location and have a text file saved
3.) be left in the original xls document.
I tried with the following code but get stuck with this error : "Run-time error 91: Objeck variable or with block variable not set."
Sub Export_x_DK()
Dim w As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = "Export_2023"
Sheets("Depreciation x (DK)").Select
Cells.Select.........................

We want to insert new row by finding existing value of sheet1 and create new row with same content by replacing column B of sheet 2
Example1 : Sheet1 of Column A1 is having AHOPL5070B
Solution required : find AHOPL5070B from sheet2 of column B and update with inserting row with AHOPC5070B
Example for above:
429^TD^1^45055^1^D^11757^31032005^^AHOPL5070B

Excel 2007 on windows 7 professional.
We've got an end user who opens a .dat file which is delimited with semi-colons, replaces some text in a couple of columns then saves as a text tab delimited file. She swears that before today, the saved file would retain the semi-colons. Now she says it's not. she generated a new .dat file for me and recreated the process, with the resultant semicolon-free file. I asked her to generate another one and send it to me. I opened it first in notepad, and saw the semi-colons.
Opened it in excel (I'm using 2010 on win 7 professional), which saw it as a delimited file and asked me to specify the delimiter. It shows up fine, all the columns are righteous. I made no edits and saved as a text tab delimited, and that saved file had no semi-colons in it when I opened it. This seems normal to me; there's no semi-colons in the excel file, so why would there be in the text tab delimited file. I asked her coworker to generate another .dat from his pc and let me know what he sees, but he hasn't reported back yet.

I have a text file, which has a column of wrong data. I can change it manually by loading it into Excel but it is semi-colon delimited and I can't export to such a file.
I therefore, would like to write a VBA tool, which reads the file and edits the the value between the 5th and 6th semi-colon and will continue do this for each row (the new value is constant across the rows).

When I converted excel to text file via VB code, the default text file is tab delimited. Why is it so?
I've done:
Code:
Sub ConvertToText()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="E:EXCELTEST.txt", FileFormat:=xlCurrentPlatformText, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub
Can I change the default delimition to pipe, how can I do this? How can I make an excel file to pipe delimited text file in default?

is there any way for a worksheet to import and merge (append) tab delimited files from these directories:

C:TempmergeV¿ñ (3)data.txt
C:TempmergeV¿ñ (4)data.txt
C:TempmergeV¿ñ (5)data.txt
- contents of data.txt have range A1:Pn, where 'n' is last row, different for each file
- found a previous thread very similar to what i wanted, but donno how to edit this to suit my purpose

I am trying to save a worksheet as a txt file. The worksheet has a range of data with a variable amount of rows in column A only. It generally will look like:
A*B*C
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
A*B*C*D*E*F*G*H*I*J
where each row of data is in a single cell.Whenever I save it, however, it adds extra tab deliminations in each row after the data, and it adds rows with no data (sometimes just 1, sometimes many).
I am positive that no cells in columns B-n have data in them (even just a space) and no rows after the last intended have data.
Why are these extra rows and columns being inserted? How can I save a txt file that literally has no other spaces or rows or deliminations other than what's intended?

I use dot symbols in one column of my spreadsheet to call attention to a particular row. I am currently using ASCII(decimal) Char 149 and I count the column of dots with the following formula: =COUNTIF(A1:A20,CHAR(149))
This works fine, however, ASCII(decimal) Char 149 is a very small dot which is hard to see. I have found a much larger dot which is identified as BlackCircle Unicode(hex) 25CF. From an appearance standpoint the BlackCircle is much larger and much easier to see, however, I have been unable to construct a formula which will count the dots. How do I identify BlackCircle Unicode(hex) 25CF in order to count the character using the formula listed below: =COUNTIF(A165:A184,CHAR(25CF))

I have written code to export data from excel as a unicode .csv file - see [URL] .....
However I now want to open that file by vba, yet it does not format the data correctly. I have a field in the delimited data that is string (in my .csv file strings are surrounded by " to indicate strings). This string can contain a vbLf as part of the string ie. the string goes over a couple of lines in one cell.
Using vba I open the .csv file as follows:
Code:
Workbooks.OpenText filename:=singlefname, origin:=65001, DataType:=xlDelimited, textqualifier:=xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote, comma:=True
yet when the code opens the file the vbLf starts a new worksheet row messing up the layout of the .csv file. It should just indicate a new line in a cell.
How to open the file so the vbLf only creates new line in the cell does not start a new worksheet row?

I tried to revise the macro so that instead of 'b42' it's activecell.
Code:
Dim b As Range
Set b = ActiveCell
Range(b).Resize(, Len(Range(b).Value)) = split(StrConv(Range(b).Value, vbUnicode), Chr(0))
