Ascii File Import Malfunctioning

Aug 31, 2009

I am importing multiple ascii files into one workbook, each file into a single sheet of the workbook. When I manually import an ascii file, everything works and formats fine. When I import the file or files with my macro, the formatting of the values in the ascii file isnt working correctly, that is, if a value is for instance 51,442 (, being the decimal seperator), it is input to the cell as 51,442, as in fifty one thousand, four hundred forty two..My import function is below, and I have tried various combinations of using the decimal seperator command and thousands seperator command, all to no avail..

Lastly, in case it matters, this is on a PC with regional settings set to Germany as well.

Below an example of the import which I found online earlier..

x = 1
Set wkbTemp = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=FilesToOpen(x))
wkbTemp.Sheets(1).Copy
Set wkbAll = ActiveWorkbook
wkbTemp.Close (False)
wkbAll.Worksheets(x).Columns("A:A").TextToColumns _
Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=False, Space:=False, _
Other:=False, DecimalSeparator:=","
x = x + 1

Removing Duplicates Feature Is Malfunctioning

Mar 13, 2009

i'm trying to remove duplicates from a worksheet containing customer contact info. the sheet has 9 columns with headings, and the duplicates appear in the last name and phone number column. (the sheet contains no outlines/groups/subtotals.)

i want to remove entries that contain the same last name AND phone number, however when i go to DATA>DATA TOOLS>REMOVE DUPLICATES, and specify the columns i want to remove duplicates from, it keeps deleting an entry that has the same last name, but not the same phone number.

i even tried removing duplicates from only the phone number column, and it still removes the phone number for the entry that has a duplicated last name, even though the phone numbers are different.

Locate CSV File With Open File Msgbox And Import Columns From CSV To Worksheet

Oct 28, 2011

Actually i've downloaded Tracking report of my SPO and this report is on 4-5 csv files (1 file per week). I have to gather data from these 4 files into one Worksheet. I have to do this with command button on my worksheet; with Open file dialogue box (i want to locate the csv files).

CSV files are something like that (I need only first 4 columns):

ABCDE1Name MSISDN Date Location MapLink 2M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 20:36:18" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 3M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 19:36:26" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 4M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 16:39:58" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 5M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 15:37:23" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 6M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 14:37:05" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com"

and my Worksheet is like that (With a command Button):

I want to import first 3 columns of csv file on first 3 columns on my worksheet; leave 2 columns blank and then import the 4th column... now for example i have done importing data from 1st csv file and the data is on 50 rows.. i click the command button again, locate the 2nd csv file.. do the same thing (import 1st 3 columns, 2 blank, then 4th) --from 51st Row-- and so on...

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.

ASCII Code For Character

May 20, 2009

Find the ASCII character code for the characters in cells A3-D3? I have a problem importing data into the database because of these cells. They have some weird properties: ISBLANK would return them FALSE; however if I leave blank space in "Find and Replace" it will find and replaces those cells together with cells which are genuinely blank. So I could theoretically go and replace all blank cells to some character (for example ^), then do the opposite and replace ^ into blank and it would solve the problem, but I am curious as to what exactly this character is.

In Search Of ASCII Characters

Nov 13, 2006

I have a sheet A1:R456 provided from an outside source, with many large text entries. In some of them appear various ascii strings such as, but not exclusively: •

It appears these have replaced apostrophe's, dashes, and other types of punctuation and formatting (bullets, etc).

I have used the Find (Ctrl-F) to locate some, but it only works if you know what you're looking for. According to Excel HELP! :o Clean() only strips the lower 32 ascii codes, and I'm pretty sure these are at the high end of the ascii chart.

I don't want to remove them, I want to replace them, but I'm not sure if it should be an apostrophe, a dash, or whatever. So I'd be happy to find them and I'll fix it as best I can.

Any VBA code to locate all cells in a range that contain any high-order ascii (say above 127) and fill with yellow?

ASCII Key Mapping In VB Userform

Jan 4, 2007

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = Chr(vbKeyA) Then
If sngXFactor 1 Then
sngXFactor = -1
sngYFactor = 0
End If
ElseIf KeyAscii = Chr(vbKeyW) Then
If sngYFactor -1 Then
sngXFactor = 0
sngYFactor = -1
End If
ElseIf KeyAscii = Chr(vbKeyD) Then
If sngXFactor -1 Then
sngXFactor = 1
sngYFactor = 0
End If
ElseIf KeyAscii = Chr(vbKeyS) Then
If sngYFactor 1 Then
sngXFactor = 0
sngYFactor = -1
End If
End If
End Sub

That is what I have right now, basically I just want to map W, A, S, and D to change variables. What am I doing wrong?

Keep in mind that this is a userform and not an excel worksheet.

Hex To ASCII Conversion Formula In Excel

Apr 17, 2002

I know you can create a DEC2HEX formula. I wanted to convert Hex to Ascii.

When I use HEX2DEC, it puts the ASCII number instead of the actual character.

For instance, if I put the HEX number 4A in Cell A1, I want Cell A2 to display a capital J instead of the number 74 which is J in ASCII.

Macro To Format Number/ Export Ascii

Apr 3, 2008

I have some dates that I want to reformat. The file is an ascii text file, and I have imported this into excel. There are 7 and 8 character lengths

3122007
10122007

I want the dates to be all 8 characters (with a zero in front of the 7 character dates), and also I want to reverse the format, so it will read 20071203

I have a number of methods but nothing has worked yet.

After this I plan to export the file as a comma separated ascii txt file. I managed to import it, but I'm not sure how to export it.

Macro To Import .DAT File

Dec 20, 2006

I would like to have a macro that will allow me to browse to the desired file and import the data into columns. I have the macro working to the point of allowing me to browse, select the file, and pasting the contents into the active sheet.

The things that I need help with are:

1. Getting the data to paste into a specific cell instead of A1. Currently the code is

CELLS.SELECT
ACTIVESHEET.PASTE

I would like the data to start in A7.


2. Getting the file parsed into columns. The format of the .DAT file is static and only has 4 columns. Currently when it imports, the entire record (row) all of the data is in the same column. I would like it separated into individual columns if possible.

Import A .bas File Into A Specified Workbook

Jan 9, 2007

At work I have a folder full of .bas files containing useful UDF's.
At the moment I am the only person in my team that makes use of these files as importing a .bas file is beyond the rest of the team (i.e. then know it contains code so they get scared).

What I'd like to do is create a workbook where they can select one of the files (each file contains a single UDF), maybe see what it does (I put an explanation in the Comments section of the properties for each file) and then have it automatically imported into the workbook of their choice so they can make use of these functions.

File Has Too Many Columns For Import

Would anyone know of a utility that will break that file into sections so it can be manipulated in Excel?
