Bad File Mode: Writing To Locked Binary .txt File
Oct 6, 2006I have a .txt file created in Notepad and it contains a 4 digit number (Job ID). I am recieving the dreaded "Bad File Mode" (#54) error when writing back the file.
I would like to OPEN it as R/W locked, read it, increment it by 1 and write it back. Am perfectly willing to create the .txt as non-binary if that is causing the issue.
Dim jinChar As String
fileNumber = FreeFile()
jinFP = "JIN.txt"
Open jinFP For Binary Access Read Write Lock Read Write As #fileNumber
Input #fileNumber, jinChar
jobIDNumber = CInt(jinChar)
jobIDNumber = jobIDNumber + 1
jinChar = CStr(jobIDNumber)
Write #1, jinChar
Close #fileNumber

Writing Results To A Text File
Jun 12, 2009I'm trying to do something very simple, but I haven't had any luck searching for a function in excel that will let me do it.
Column A is a list of directories on a server, i.e. 01april, 02april, etc.
Column B is the path to those main directories, i.e. /raid0/data/documents/april/
Column C is where users can can type "1" if they want the directory or leave it blank if they do not want it selected.
Column D, if the corresponding row in column C=1, will show the complete source path/filename based on Column A and Column B.
Column E, if the corresponding row in column C=1, will show the complete destination path/filename based on Column A and Column B.
This is all working fine.
What I want to be able to do now though, is somehow, when someone sends the document back to me, create an FTP queue. I can do this with BulletProof FTP, because it allows really simple text queues.
So, what I need excel to do is, when someone has finished selecting their files, is write the results to a text file like exactly like this (without the Line1:, etc.):
Line1: <text from D2>
Line2: 0
Line3: 0
Line4: 0
Line5: ?
Line6: <text from E2>
(then repeated for each row in the excel document until column A is returning blank)
Seems simple enough.. Any ideas?
Also, an extra question--> is there any way I can make Excel list a directory structure automatically? Could it display the file size for the entire directory? I don't necessarily want it to list every file, just the directory paths and size of each directory.
Prevented From Writing To The .xlb File On Closing
Sep 15, 2009I'm making a workbook which I want to distribute widely. It will have a lot of changes to the menus which happen 'onOpen'.
I am keen to not spoil peoples special menu setups on closing the workbook.
If I understand correctly, on closing, Excel writes the current menu settings to the .xlb file. Does anyone know of a way to prevent it doing this so that peoples setups are left unchanged?
Presumably there is code that will do it but I've searched a long time and found nothing.

Excel Form Writing Filled Data To Another File Or Sheet
Mar 5, 2014Currently I work on a file which will be more like a form which will be filled by user and after he or she hits the button, the filled data will be written or sent to another Excel file or even Sheet in the same workbook which will store the filled data in database like form. The same as some web form which will post the data to database.
In other words, the workbook contains to sheets, one with forms to be filled in (cells) and one with specified columns. After filling in the cells on the first sheet and hitting the button, it will trigger the macro which will send data to second sheet and post data from each cell to appropriate column.
Writing To File May Require Special Print Statement Syntax
Jan 22, 2013Code:
' write data to txt file
For j = 1 To 3
For k = 1 To 21
Print FNum, OPTOarray(j, k)
Next k
Next j
I am writing an Array to a text file but I keep getting an error that the Print statement requires a suitable object. I tried Debug but all this did was put the data into the immediate window and created a file that was empty.
"????.Print FNum, OPTOarray(j, k)".
The data in the immediate window is correct but when you open the text file with notepad there is nothing to be seen.
Saving Cell Contents To XML File Saved As Current Workbook File Name
Dec 12, 2012I have numerous spreadsheets that I need to open and unhide a sheet, that has XML data stored in cell A1. What I need to do is copy that data in cell A1 and paste it into a text document and save that as an XML file saved as the XLS workbook name with a date stamp.
I'm running into many issues, the main issue is the saving as current file name, and the formatting of the text/XML file.
Here is my current code, which doesn't reference the current file name and is just very generic. Once I get the saving as file-name correct and the formatting of the xml file correct, I will work on it a bit more.
Code:
Sub Test()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim wb As Workbook
Set Rng = Range("A1:A2")
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
With wb
Rng.Copy

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutomatically Reference The Contents Of Another File Into Main File
Apr 30, 2009I am trying to automatically reference the contents of another file into my main file. Basically I have one schedule that I've automatically generated in AutoCAD, and another formatted template. The AutoCAD schedule is completely unformated.
I want to include a link to the AutoCAD scheule (a *.CSV file) on my main spreadsheet and have the autoCAD schedule populate my template. I've done some reading, primarily on here, and I think I need to use either the INDIRECT() or the INDEX() function.
I can get INDIRECT() to work, but it's fairly repetitive (not overly important, but still.....). More importantly, though, the schedule file has to be open, which I would like to avoid if possible. INDEX(), I just can't figure out how to work!

Slow Writing To Cells
Jul 6, 2007A macro in workbook 1 creates a report by reading & manipulating data from two workbooks(WB 1 and WB 2).
A new blank report sheet is copied from WB1 to WB2. The data (some text, some numeric) is collected in a 20 element, single dimension array & written to the new sheet in 20 columns using a for/next loop. This is repeated for many rows(can be more than 1000).
The array is "erased" before each row. Screenupdating is turned off, calculation is turned off. The report takes longer & longer each time it is run - Why? With the one-and-only "Write" line "remmed out" the report takes just 2 secs however many times it is re-run - including the copying of the blank master report page. If the first report takes, say, 1 min the second time takes 2 mins & the 3rd - 3 mins etc. Reset is only achieved by exiting excel. The code in question is:- For col = 1 to 20 : cells(ro,col) = d(col) : Next col. (ro = the current row number which is incremented for each pass, d() is the data array)

Writing Formula In Dynamic Number Of Cells?
Feb 13, 2014I'm trying to create a "master file" that can be used later (a tool other uses can pull up) on with datasets of varying size. I'd like to "data dump" a table of individuals with subsequent columns of various characteristics, then automatically compute various things. So then a user can dump their data into my file and "get the answer" immediately. I've seen some stuff on running one calculation on a dynamic number of cells, but let me illustrate why this is different. I want to perform a dynamic number of calculations, see below:
Each row (record) is a person, with some characteristics (numerical). Ultimately I have a few columns on the end with some computations (Excel formulas) I'd like to do. I'd like to do this for each person (that is, each row) in that data that I dump in. But the thing is, ahead of time we don't know how many people will be dumped in, and that changes (because I'd like this to be a tool...). So how do I tell Excel to compute things if there is a person in that row, but do nothing and leave cells blank if there isn't a person? Ideally I don't have millions of ifs testing for blank cells either. I'd like to do this with Excel functions only and not VBA, if at all possible.

Slow Writing To Large Number Of Cells
Mar 1, 2007I heard there is an efficient way of writing large amounts of data at once to a worksheet. My program is writing alot of data (e.g. 600+ items in each row) and takes over an hour to run because it writes to each cell one-at-a-time. I seached this forum and couldn't find the answer. Here is an excerpt from an old 1998 article by Dermot Balson and William Mercer that used code to write to cells in large chunks but it doesn't work for me - I get a method failed message.
'to read in
Dim A As Variant 'MUST be variant, no brackets
A = Range("SomeRange").Resize(10,20) 'reads 10x20 array starting at range SomeRange
'(NB I've used Resize above but you can specify a range of cells any way you want)
'to write back to sheet
Range("SomeRange").Resize(10,20) = A
'A can be any data type but MUST be two dimensional even if you are only writing one
'column or row - first dimension is used for rows, and the second for columns
'this can be slow - see third question below for workaround..

Writing Specific Content From Excel To External File Of Specific Name
Apr 29, 2013I have a worksheet that contains two basic columns of data, A and B. What I would like to do is based on the value in column A, I would like to copy the contents of column B to a textfile (preserving the basic line structure and hopefully without any extra characters like quotation marks attached). So for all the values in column A = 'Account', Id like to take all the corresponding values in Column E (for example) and save them to the same file, preferably where the filename itself as 'Account.xyz'. And I would like to do this for all unique values in Column A, that is do it for 'Account' and 'AccountPrivilege' etc. Note Column A is essentially presorted alphabetically already. There are actually 1000s of rows with hundreds of unique A values so Id like to find a way to automate this process.
A
B
1
Account
Company Information
2

Exporting Of Sheet Contents To A Txt File
Apr 6, 2009The sheet to be exported is titled TI
I need the name of the name of the txt file to use the values in cell AE1 & Q1 from a sheet titled Project Report. eg cell AE1 contains 1783 and Q1 contains Ore Vally so the file name needs to be 1783 Ore Valley.txt
In the sheet TI, under column A, there are cells that contain the number 0. I want the export to ignore any rows which have a 0 under column A
The data from each colum in the sheet TI needs to be separated by TABs and not commas, ful stops, semi colons, colons etc etc.
Once all of this works, i need to be able to just click on cell J1 in sheet Project Report so that with this single click the txt file is produced.
