Reading Entire File, Not One Line At A Time

Dec 23, 2008

I want to read in a space delimited file and to put each line in one cell starting with cell B2 (I will take care of splitting it into columns later). However, rather than reading one line at a time, it reads in the entire txt file at the first pass......

Time Format Not Reading Correctly

I have the below formula to display the results in the format of Hrs and Mins but it isn't displaying correctly ie the number in E2 is 1666:40 so it should read 1666 Hrs 40 Mins but its displaying as 10 Hrs 40 Mins

=HOUR(E2)&" Hr"&IF(HOUR(E2)1,"s "," ")&MINUTE(E2)&" Min"&IF(MINUTE(E2)1,"s "," ")

Reading A .txt File In Excel VBA

Jul 5, 2008

I need a little bit of help here ... I can read and process a .txt file from my Excel VBA program, but I am having trouble as follows :

The file I am reading contains a number of heading lines, followed by a number of data lines.

All of the data lines end in a date, so I can use the code ...

If IsNumeric(Right(MyDSRec, 1)) Then
... to pick up the data lines & ignore the heading lines. This is fine and works perfectly.

However, the .txt file that I receive is out of my control, and is prone to error, in that the data line occasionally has what I assume is a "Tab" character after the last date, which means that the line above does not recognise the last character as being numeric.

If you double click "06" at the end of each line on the example below, you should be able to see what I mean (in the .txt document, if I place the cursor at the end and press backspace, all characters at the end are deleted, back to the 06, so they are not individual spaces) ...

Reading Numbers As Strings From .csv File

Jan 7, 2010

I have a .csv file that contains numerical data in the form of strings, much of which starts with leading zeros (i.e. "012345"). I double checked to make sure the .csv file has the leading zeros and that they are wrapped in quotation marks in notepad, and it does. However, when Excel opens the file, it must read those strings as numbers, becuase it chops off the zeros. Does anyone know of way to fix this? Can Excel read numbers as strings straight from a .csv file?

Read Pdf Or Doc File Line By Line And Then Parse Data Into Proper Cells And Rows?

Feb 23, 2013

I have the data to import / read in a pdf, in a doc, or in an Excel worksheet whichever is easier to use. I need to import the data, parse it into the correct cells for that row and then repeat the import until the end of the file. Not all the cells are in each group of data to import, so those cells will be null for that row. Some of the data for one cell may be in up to 14 lines in the data file. I have be concatenating these data rows into one cell. There are 48,000 lines in the file to import or I would do this manually. I am assuming that doing this in VBA would be the most efficient method.

Line Graph: (line Graph To Display An Amount Over Time)

Dec 30, 2008

I want to use a line graph to display an amount over time - that's the easy part. On the other hand, I would like to have to group the lines based on a value.

A short example:
Imagine you own 3 different stores and you're selling oranges. So your table looks like this:
http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=orangeshm4.jpg

Now I'd like to have one graph (3 different graphs won't work as the rows increase -I need to select the whole column as data source):

Date on the x axis,
Oranges sold on the y axis,
and one line per store (e.g. a green one for store A, a red one for B and a blue one of C, doesn't matter).

Find And Replace One Line At A Time

Nov 12, 2009

I find this data: X1 X2 X3 X4 X5
I replace to this: X2 X3 X4 X5 X6

I know I can "find and replace" one line at a time, But I want to do this-
I have 4 rows the same data:
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5

I want to select all 4 rows at same time, (now, this is what I need help with is to end up with the following after using "find and replace" and adding 1 to each specific number without having to select and replace data one row at a time). If not "find and replace", how could this be done? In a nutshell I want to add 1 to each specific number as you go down the rows quick and easy.
X2 X3 X4 X5 X6
X3 X4 X5 X6 X7
X4 X5 X6 X7 X8
X5 X6 X7 X8 X9

Macro In Csv File Only Looks At First Line

Jun 21, 2009

I've download the CSV files from my bank. Somehow I thought they'd import painlessly. I dunno what's happened, these files are bloody ridiculous to look at.

Somehow I've ended up w/ Date, then Amount in the cell under it, then a description of what I bought in the cell below, and then something to the cell to the right of it (a further description sometimes, at other times nothing).

I have about 1500 lines of this so doing this automatically is not in question. I want to figure out how to run a macro to organize this. The logic is fairly simple. Where-ever the cursor is, copy the stuff in there over 2 lines, go back to original starting point, copy next cell, paste it next to where i previous pasted, goto third line, copy, paste next to second place i pasted, and then goto next set of data/dates. So I did that once figuring it could keep repeating the cycle. NOOOO that didnt happen. I did this for one set and then just stopped. Everytime I run the macro it deals w/ the same data. For example I created the macro to start of w/ cells A2, A3, and A4, then goto A6 and stop. I figured once there I could run the macro again, and it would do the same stuff for A4, A5, and A6 that it did for the previous one. Nope, it went back to A1-3.

Of course if someone can give a better idea of how to work w/ CSV in the first place that would also help. It just never made the colums in the right place. I got to choose the variables that would decide when a new column starts but I was never really getting the result I wanted. If this macro works though I wont need to work w/ that anymore.

Here's a sample though of how my CSV looks at the moment. These are three entries. The first one's description takes up one cell, the next 2 have 2 cells each.

Write A Line Into A HTML File With VBA

Jan 1, 2007

Say there is a HTML file at C:DataFile.html

I'd like to use Excel VBA to write this meta tag into that HTML file:

****** http-equiv="refresh" content="600">
That's to make it refresh every 600 seconds.

The most elegant way would be to locate the "head" tag and write it right after it, but the refreshing meta tag seems to work where ever it is, even at the very end of the file after the "/html" tag! So locating the "head" tag is not that important, if it's difficult.

So, how do I use VBA to write lines into a HTML (or any text) file?

Read Each Line Of Text File

Oct 26, 2006

I'm using the following code to read a text file that I downloaded from a mainframe file.

Do While Not EOF(FileNum)
Line Input #FileNum, myLine
Debug.Print myLine
Loop

It reads and prints the first line, but then drops out of the loop. According to the help file, "Line Input" is looking for a carriage return (Chr(13)) or carriage return–linefeed (Chr(13) + Chr(10)) sequence. I have pasted a sample of the text file below. I'm not sure what the characters are at the beginning of each line, but perhaps I could find a way to replace each of them with a carriage return.

Is it possible to change the x-series of the charts to display custom time intervals like 0 min 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min, etc? Currently the x-series only has labels for each specific time there was a change in value. I've tried to change the scale but the options that I want aren't there.

Saving Multiple Workbooks At One Time/file As A Text File

Mar 16, 2007

found the following code which works for 1 workbook at a time. I am trying to save 7 workbooks at 1 time. Is it possible?

Sub SaveAsCell()
Dim strName As String

On Error Goto InvalidName
strName = Sheet1. Range("V77")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strName

It will work on the first sheet but none after that. I need to have each workbook saved with the value in cell V77. Also if that is possible, is it possible to change where the file is saved as well?

Right now I have a master workbook that will open the 7 other workbooks, paste data onto several pages in each workbook. I would like the macro to save the workbooks. The workbooks are named: 02 Tuesday, 03 Wednesday, 04 Thursday, 05 Friday, 06 Saturday, 07 Sunday, 08 Monday.
