I'm writing a macro in excel that edits a text file runs another program that uses this text file as its input and then stores the results. Perameters are then changed in the input file and it is then repeted over and over again. One of the parts I am stuck on is I need to delete the last 5 lines in the input file called INPfile.txt. See below:............
This section is always at the end of the file, is 5 lines long and always starts with [DEMANDS] and always ends with [END].
I have around 50 text files with similar design per attached file. I need to import the text files with criteria below:-
1. include file name 2. let user choose the folder 3. exclude data from "work in process summary" to "work in process cost totals" 4. only have one title in the excel files which all text files is combined "Item, Line ....." 5. If the text files do not have title like "Item, Line, ..." do not import
Is it possible to have all criteria listed above by running a macro?
I need to extract lines in a huge text file (more than 300,000 records ) based on one condition. for e.g.
02/03/07 123456789 hsjksk sjdlsl
05/03/07 323453789 hsjksk sjdlsl
04/03/07 123456789 hsjksk sjdlsl
02/03/07 123456789 hsjksk sjdlsl
I need extract of lines where the date and the digits are the same. in above example it should extract only record line 1 and record line 4. Some body advised me to try MSAccess , but I have never used MS Access and have no clue about it , hence i don't want to use it. Is there a way in VBA to code this ?
I have a several large delimited text files around 800,000+ lines. It cannot all be pasted into excel due to the 65,000 line limit. For my purposes, I only need about 1 in every 1,000 lines from the text file anyways. Is there a way to only bring in the lines I want? Here is the test file layout:.................
I only need the lines that start:
"01","001","------"
I tried running some macros that I found through searching the forums, but I couldn't get any to work.
where I am needing to import a file sent daily by a third party, that has now grown to be greater than 65536 lines. It contains cumulative data from the past year or two, but although we only need the LAST few thousand lines, the third party are unable to provide us with a smaller file.
The file is currently imported from file into Excel using VBA, and then various manupilations are done using VBA to extract the data we need. However because of the size the file now has grown to, the user has to open the text file in wordpad(or notepad) first and delete the first 'few' thousand lines before saving to file.
Is there a way of importing only a certain number of lines from this text file, for example the last 30,000, using VBA. If so, all our problems will be solved (this time)
After doing some searching I found a macro here which imports multiple text files into one workbook, keeping each text file as a seperate worksheet, each worksheet named the same as the original file name (minus the .txt extension).
However, it adds a blank line between each line of text. So I get this:

This doesn't happen when I use the import wizard, or when I just open the file from the File -> Open menu.
My text files are always the same format (number of lines, etc.), so it's easy to delimit and insert forumlae as needed, but those extra lines are breaking a macro I've previously written to parse the data.
I am trying to read a text file into a variable with VBA. The files I try to read usually have a bunch of unrecognized characters in them and I can't seem to read through them. I am looking for some code that will delete all unrecognized characters until it finds a string I specify.
Example of file
ΚW ¾J Y D Y ³F Y ZE Y ¨B Z ˜6 Z GOOD DATA
My code works fine if I manually delete all this stuff before GOOD DATA, but wont work if I dont. My "responseposition" is always 0 unless I delete all the nonsense.
I'm trying to remove a proceedure code or just line 3 if I could in the active workbook"ThisWorkbook" mod. However I'm having an issue with this code. how to remove all the code that is in "ThisWorkbook" mod? or just line 3 in that code. I have other mod that I want to keep. So I dont want to wipe out all the code from the workbook. Here is what I have but I get a sub or function not defined error.
I am attempting to write a macro that given a range of cells goes into each cell and deletes the text after the first bullet. An example of this would be:
I would like to have a macro written that when runned will delete all data in line 2 to 1000 in the first three sheets and line 2 through 1500 in the compilation sheets
I have a complex worksheet that I have some duplicates that I want to merge the data together with Daily. The problem is now the process is getting too long due to the data size increasing. Access will not be a feasible solution at this time.
Column A would have the matching info. The cells I want to copy are in columns AM:AP
Way it looks now:
A, [Col B:AL], AM, AN, AO, AP Product#, [B:AL], New List, ID, Vendor, Rep 07256,[Data I want to leave],,,, 07256,[Blanks],HighRisk,32,59,1732
Way I want it to look:
A, [Col B:AL], AM, AN, AO, AP Product#, [B:AL], New List, ID, Vendor, Rep 07256,[Data I want to leave],HighRisk,32,59,1732
Delete the second row after the data was merged and look for remaining matchs to do the same.
After it is completed have a message box indicating the number of records that this was done to.
i'm trying to tweak Chip's code [url] to include the body of the module as well. it works, but when there's blank lines in-between modules it'd show less of the modules.
is there a way to delete the empty line in VBE? or did i miss something out in the code below?
Sub ListProcedures()
Dim VBCodeMod As CodeModule Dim StartLine As Long Dim Msg As String Dim ProcName As String
Set VBCodeMod = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("MyModule").CodeModule With VBCodeMod
I want to go dorn column B, starting at B26:B, and if the value in B equals any of the values in C2:C25 than delete that entire row(not just delete the word, because there are values in column C and D that I need gone with the C value).
147943F00KNQ TTHBF251863100 REF VINS DU MONDE SA O/RTT HBF251863100
I need a macro to transform my multiple lines cell as above ( 5 lines ) into a one line cell as below.
REF VINS DU MONDE SA
As the cells needing changing will always be different it would be good if I could have a macro working on the selected cells only, not a specified range.
I'm trying to apply an autofilter to do the ol' "delete visible lines that meet criteria" trick. Unfortunately my vb macro, although applying the string correctly, hides all of the lines...
This is the part of code relevant to filtering (i'm trying to filter on column M which is 13):
I have 2 lists of codes with values tied to them, columns A & B, and columns C & D. Column A is a list of the codes in use, and column C is every code possible, I need to line up the codes and shorten column C to match column A, while retaining the value that is tied to each code so that I can compare Columns B & D easily.
I have a public/shared Excel 2007 workbook on our network and someone colored an entire column yellow. When that happened, it increased the number of rows to over 655,000. I didn't know that was posible but they are there... The thing moves very slowly now and when I try to delete (45,000 lines at a time), I either get a error window telling me I don't have resources to perform the operation, or I do smaller chucks and after 30 minutes deleting lines, it will not save.
I would rather not have to recreate the whole workbook if I can delete the lines on this one page.
I'm trying to use the import data to pull from a closed csv file. I see the column select but no place to select which rows. Is this even possible, I only need the first 500 rows of all columns to be placed in a new worksheet.
I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:
1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row) 2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders 3) Put the folder name into I2 4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this) 5) Close the text file 6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)
I want to import a excel file in the current sheet but want that few of the starting lines are not imported. Suppose i have a file with 500 rows but i dont want to import starting 39 rows.
I have an automated formula which i have to fill down to line 250, yet in the majority of cases i only need it to say line 20, and as a result i have loads of lines stating "Not Found" has anyone got a way to hide any lines containing either "Not Found" or a blank cell??
Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes: Attachment 257366 Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes: Attachment 257368 Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.
