I use text to columns everyday at work. Each report that I insert is in the exact same formatting and spacing. So, I open the text file, and manually enter line breaks each time. Is there a way to import text into an already broken up table? Or a way to open a file and it recognizes where to break up the lines without me having to manually click them in each time?
View 4 RepliesI have a macro which imports data from a mainframe dump text file and performs 'Text to Columns' on the imported data so that formula in the spreadsheet can act on the data. The code works perfectly well when I use it, but if a different user logs on and performs exactly the same mainframe dump and import macro the Text to Columns action splits the raw data in a different way and the result is that the split renders the formulae useless.
I've experimented a little and for some reason it appears that the 'Field Info' parameters which are produced when the Text to Columns function is recorded in a macro differ between users even though the raw data is exactly the same.
FieldInfo:= _
Array(Array(0, 1), Array(18, 1), Array(35, 1), Array(56, 1), Array(70, 1), Array(88, 1), _
Array(102, 1))
I have a variable list. Each column will be 250 digits and numbers of rows will be variable. I want a macro to import a text file from a specific folder into a sheet without split it to columns. So we will work only in column A
Then macro will find B1002 wording in A1. if it is exist, it will copy the next 36 digits after B1002 wording if not then it will search A2 row. The next step will be to search and find another wording "B1001" if it finds it will replace copied 36 digits text. If it can not find B1001 wording it will go to upper row and search B1001 wording here and paste the text. This will go on till row shows #END. This means it reached the end of the list. And then macro will save this file as text file to another folder.
So macro will go to beginning to open other file in the folder and this will go on till last file in the folder.
This is the logic of the macro. Here is the sample of what I want.

I'm attempting to import around 200 (and growing!) separate text files into Excel. I am using the formula below to import the text file and then using a separate macro to select the information I need, copy it into another spreadsheet, and then run the import macro again.
However, I have a problem in that my import macro gives me 'Run-time error '1004:
Application defined or user defined error''. At first this wasn't a problem as the information is pasted into the spreadsheet despite the error anyway. However, now that I am looping the macro it is obviously causing more problems as it prevents the loop. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows of a work-around or can spot an error in the coding to resolve this!
The code below shows is for the import macro only:
Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String)
Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim TempVal As Variant
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim NextPos As Integer
Dim SaveColNdx As Integer
I want to import one worksheet from different workbooks to Master workbook. In the source workbook, I need to import only ' Code' sheet and in this code sheet , I need only 4 columns(A, E, F, and I ) to import. I also need cell C3and E3 in source worksheet to master workbook
I want to import like 'Code(1), Code(2), Code(3),, and so on. I don't want to import whole thing in the one sheet in the master workbook.
IN the master workbook, the header is on A3, so starting row will be row 4 in master workbook.

I've made the mistake of building an online survey without regard for the number of questions and how that might relate to import. (Excel gives the error, "File Not Completely Loaded.") As a result, I have a .csv raw data file which exceeds the number of columns in Excel's upper limit. Would anyone know of a utility that will break that file into sections so it can be manipulated in Excel?
View 3 Replies View Relatedi have five different formats of data files i.e. different columns in count as well as heading. i want to import selected six columns from every file in a single sheet for data manipulation. can this be done anyways.

I want the data from everything, starting from row 5 and going to row 100, and not include column B or E.
How do I grab just that data? I have different formulas in each document. This is for invoicing, so the columns with the $ numbers can't be changed and I haven't been able to figure out how to not overwrite them when importing another spreadsheet.
I have a nice little code which imports data from a mastersheet to my input sheet. Though it will only work as long as the mastersheet is static.
I'm trying to match the product code in column A between my mastersheet and my workbook with a input sheet. And then copy the cell value in column D and E of the relevant row.
The messy part is that some of the products are split into sub categories (less than :$$$:, between :$$$: etc) and they dont have any info in column A.
I'm unsure if this is doable. Is it? And if I get permission to edit the mastersheet somewhat.
I tossed in the start of my currect static c/p, thought I don't think I'm keeping it if I get a handle on this match macro issue.

In Excel, we have multiple images for duplicate subjects: But when imported into Access, we run into a major problem:
How it is currently laid out in Excel:

How Access requires it in order to do what we need:
Subject 1

I'd like to import column A,E, H, and I in different 11 workbooks in MYdocument folder to one Master workbook.
I'd like to import 'Name' and ' ID' in cell E3 and C3 in each different 11 workbooks to cell A1 and cell B1 in Master workbook.
Starting row for Column A,E,H and I are 'row 6' because row1 thru 5 are title, name, and comments.
In the Sheet 1 in Master workbook will be the Main sheet for command buttons, so I want to import after Sheet1 in Master workbook.
I want to import each worksheet , not stacked type. I got 11 workbooks in my document right now, but numbers are always changing. I also import in row 2 in Master workbook because I need to add title or button on row 1 in Master workbook.
How can I import only selected columns from row 6 into row 2 in master workbook?

Any text column type deal?
I have about 120 .txt files with Columns A Code of Users[/b], Columns B Number of Conto and Columns C-K with stings to be imported, like Numbers into one .xls file .
(see part of examples down and Attachment Red marked)
ABCDEFGHJK.........
Files have names V1.xls, v2.xls ...V120.xls. It have been requested to imported only certain rows e.g. Rows:
02178;5171;untill 02178;5175; Columns C-K, including Columns A i B
&Rows only 02178;5179; same Columns C-K, including Columns A i B
Each Cells from C-K should be importing to same Sheets .xls files. Note: String to be converting to Number After importing datas from one files should have take new datas from anothe files, same rows and columns, one under another and Calculating Sums.
I have requirement to extact data into a spreadsheet. This data is extracted from CSV file which is huge normally over 7MB. I have found a macro on the internet which I have included with this post.
Sub split()
Dim ResultStr As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Double
'Ask User for File's Name
FileName = InputBox("Please enter the Text File's name, e.g. test.txt")
'Check for no entry
If FileName = "" Then End
'Get Next Available File Handle Number
FileNum = FreeFile()
'Open Text File For Input
Open FileName For Input As #FileNum .................
I have also included reult data that I get after running the macro. I have cut down on data due to attachement restrictions. But usually there are multiple spreadsheets named "Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 and so on". I have numerous requirements. First of all I want to be able to spreate data into columns. For now how I do that is by going to data -> text to columns and then selcting delmited and then selecting comma as my delimiter. Second thing I want to do is is only extract range of data from this output into a new worksheet. I am only interest in the name like for example ALBANY-Serial0/0/0 and data that is in the range of 8:00 AM to 6:00PM. So the new sheet should only have name and for that name data in the range of 8:00AM to 6:00PM for all the sheets "sheet1, sheet2 etc" until all data has been extracted.

The problem I have now is that during the operations on the date collumns (G-K) Excel has converted the date to dd/mm/yyyy format, just as I wanted - but has for instance sometimes interpreted the date 10/06/2005 (10 Jun 2005) correctly and sometimes as 06/10/2005 - with no consistent logic I can discern.
I can't get hold again of the source data (the reports) and would need to somehow correct the dates.
The data is historical booking information of a Tour-operator. Therefore there are some hints that would allow me to check if a date makes sense or not. In each row is a start-and an end date in collumns D & E, which would need to be checked for correctness. The following may giv you an idea what I am babbling about: .....
I need to be able to open or import a csv file and have the data be seen as text, not numbers. I can export programming from a phone system as a csv file, modify it and import it back into the phone system. some fields such as "seconds" are in the format 00. Excel sees it as a number and converts it to 0, which causes an error when I try to import again.
I have tried changing the csv to txt and copying it to a blank worksheet and then recording a macro using text to columns, but each export can be laid out differently, so a fixed array doesn't work. there can be over 100 columns so doing it manually and changing each column to text can be quite tedius.
I have imported a tab delimited text file into excel. One of the columns consists of a string of text - a comment section.
