I'm trying to automate the process of exporting a range of cells to a text file. I think the Print# command will work because I don't want the quotes at the end of each line. Each range of cells will be a separate text file, and I want to save and name the file according to the column it's in. This bit of code from dominicb seems to be what I'm looking for, in principle.

In the attached file, I have two columns (A and B) and the column A will vary within the range from A4:A104 and column B will vary according to A. Nevertheless column A has #N/A error which is mandatory for chart. So I am looking for a macro to do the following:
Start with cell B4 and go until value exsists for "B" (let me say for eg. B40) and select the range A4:B40 and ask the user to give name for the export file export only that selection as a tab delimited txt file.

I looked in to the above article. But i have trouble in selecting dynamic range and to avoid #N/A error in the range.
I am trying to automate in VBA the process of importing of txt file to Excel range. The columns widths are not static. So I can't use recoded code of Text to Column wizard process as columns alignment arguments, (ie FieldInfo:= Array(Array(0, 1) would need to be changed daily. I have also tried to import the text in one column and then apply a code of TextToColumns to automatically split the text by multiple columns. But some of the text would be moved to the left under wrong column titles. I think this is because the text is not tab or comma delimited. It's just aligned using multiple spaces.
Is it possible to write a code to split the text by columns based on alignment of 2 first rows. For example, import rows 6 and 7 from the text in one column, then apply texttocolumn method like this:
.TextToColumns DataType:=xlDelimited, consecutivedelimiter:=True, Space:=True
Then, based on this alignments take arguments for the Open File method like this:
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
"filename", Origin:=xlMSDOS, _
StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array(Array(0, 1), Array(10 _
, 1), Array(20, 1), Array(31, 1), Array(39, 1), Array(48, 1), Array(57, 1), Array(66, 1),Array(75, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
I found this question from 2004 but it has expired so I could not quote or reply to it. It can be found at Open file search and import text file This was the question:
I'm looking for some code that i can attach to a command bar which allows the user to browse and search for any text file on their C:Drive and then import it. I think i can work out the import using the data import wizard and macro recorder.
Sub DoIt()
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogImportTextFile).Show
End Sub
The original person said they can work out the import using the wizard, but my users are not tech savvy and therefore I was wondering if I could automate the text file showing up in the excel sheet ( named 'Import') after selecting the text file (instead of going to the wizard). I have attached a sample text file for an example (first row being a header)
I'd like to be able to highlight a row of data in an Excel spreadsheet that were just entered by the user, click on a button that's linked to a VBA macro that exports the highlighted data to a text file (with a .txt extension), saves that text file & exits from it without the user having to say Yes to a dialog box that asks if he/she wants to save.

I have one table in word format and a sheet in excel:
word table:

excel sheet :
ID Color part #
C3 white
C1 blue 1001
C2 red
A10 black
C4 red
C5 greed 1001

Is this possible using VBA?
I have a spreadsheet that currently looks like ........
My problem is that I want the macro to create either (a) a seperate text file for each line (1 for line 2, one for line 3 etc etc) or even better (b) create a file for the specific line i am on. For example if i happended to click on D5 and then pressed the macro key it would onyl create a txt file for line 5, same if i clicked on E6, it would only create a file for line 6.
I would be grateful if you could highlight the code you insert into my macro as it may be useful for other reports i run.
I have macro that exports certain range to text file. It goes through first to last row and exports it to Text file. Here is the part of the
For Each myRecord In Range("A2:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
With myRecord
For Each myField In Range(.Cells, Cells(.Row, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft))
sOut = sOut & DELIMITER & DEL & myField.Text
Next myField
Print #nFileNum, Mid(sOut, 2)
sOut = Empty
End With
Next myRecord
The problem is that sheets might by empty. I would like to add something to this code ( I guess some IF condition) so that all blank rows are skipped and not exported to text file.

As I will need to come up with a number of similar sheets in the future I was wondering if there is a way to automate through vba, a quick way to copy down the hour slots for each day, 365 times, rather than the laborious task of copy and paste manually.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a template file for ordering trafolyte and steel plates. I have added macros to this template file. The existing macros do the following (shortly described):
Macro 1: clears order
Macro 2: update order date + send a read only file to the supplier of plates + save a read only copy of the file into one of three folders acc to info in one of the cells.
It's the Macro 2 I want to edit.
I want to add a "function" which copy a selection of data.column A to N from row 12 to 548 but only the rows where there is a value in column A.
Row 1 to 11 includes standard order info and Macro buttons.
Row 11 includes the heading for order data.
For everytime someone click on the Macro 2 button in the template file, I want the selection to be paste into the first "available" row in a "Total list" file.
The "Total list" file may have to be open (or a function to open, paste selection and then close the "Total list" file may be added)
File and Folder info:
To simplify suggestions, the following file and path info can be used (I can change to the correct later):
Template file name: template_order.xlsm
Template file location: \servershared emplate
Total list file name: total_list.xlsx
Total list file location: \servershared otal
Selection info:
The template file exists of a "general order info area" A1:N10
The column heading for order data is located at A11:N11
The selection to be copied is A12:N550 - But only rows where column A includes data (not empty).
(If the spesific order consists of 14 plates than there will be item no 1-14 in column A and I then I want to copy A12:N25 (row 25 will be item 14).
When I try to use record macro it looks like it only records what's happening in the template file - It doesn't record the pasting in the total list.
How to save a file, with file- name. but the directory is to be read in worksheet "towns" in Cell1 (brussels) and filename in worksheet "names" in cell B2 (i.e. winter), so it saves to c:russelswinter.txt as a wordpad or kladblok txt file, that keeps a number, so each time we push a button "go back from worksheet names to worksheet towns" the "number" that is saved in the txt document goes up by value +1. In Flemisch, the "old" code goes as follows, and saves the number in the txt file Factuurnummer7.txt.

I have a spreadsheet that my field workers use to collect data.(See 'Capture Form'). On the main worksheet they use drop-down lists to enter the data. These lists are drawn from named ranges on other worksheets. In the column next to these ranges are the respective ID numbers.

I am trying to export a chart using the code below, the loops change the data that is used to produce the chart:
Dim strFilename As String
Dim strExt As String
Dim lngProfile As Long
Dim lngOption As Long
For lngOption = 1 To 3
Range("nmOption") = Choose(lngOption, "Existing", "Option 4", "Option 5")
For lngProfile = 1 To 4
Range("nmProfile") = "Profile " & lngProfile
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 13").Activate
ActiveChart.ChartArea.Select
strExt = "gif"
strFilename = ThisWorkbook.Path & "Images" & _
Range("nmOption") & "_" & Range("nmProfile") & "." & strExt
ActiveChart.Export strFilename, strExt
Next lngProfile
Next lngOption
Each export command creates a file with the correct name but no data (0kb in size) and a temporary file that is the correct file type (I have tried both jpg and gif).
I could try and copy the temporary file, but why does Excel not finish the job? I have tried to put a loop in and also added DoEvents after the export but no joy.

I am trying to write a small macro involving Len and Left formulas. This will take input from two cells and and give the value on a third cell. I know how to do this on excel. This goes as follows:
Value on A5 = HB_AM_1
Value on B5 = 1
My formula to extract the specific text =LEFT(A5,LEN(A5)-LEN(B5)-1).
My result on D5= HB_AM
Here, my inputs are clearly defined and I can write this formula on cell D5 to get the result. I can copy this down to the end of my data and I can get my result.
My challenges: I need to do this for various reports where the data extends to various rows. I think looping will solve the problem, but not sure how to do it. The value on cell B5 will always show the last number at the cell A5 (1 in the eg above). So, if the number in A5 is 10, value in B5 will also be 10. This is already there in my data, so I do not worry about this part.
