i have a tab delimited file that desperately needs cleaning up.
i would like this:
word1 def1
word1 def2
word1 def3
word2 def1a
word2 def1b
to look like this
word1 def1, def2, def3.
word2 def1, def2.
my problem is this dictionary goes on and on, and i would just like a simple way to find these duplicate entries and consolidate them into the form i showed above

I attached a txt file of a report we get out of our accounting system. It is not tab deliminated, when I open it in excel, each whole row is contained in 1 cell instead of being broke up into columns. Im not sure how to convert it, im sure it possible using vb or something?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that has around 2000 rows each containing data as shown in the attached sample sheet. I want to replace all the squares (is this some form of delimiting or seperating character inserted as the data was imported?) with a space and leave the other data intact.
I've tried find & replace to do this without success, although editing each individual cell works. Please let me know as I need a way to do this for all cells at once as it would take an age to do each cell indivudually.

Figured out how to export to Pipe Delimited through coding but now I am faced with 2 complications.
1) The column order in the EXCEL file is not the Order I want it to Export in. (i.e. COB Date maybe in Column 'I' in the Excel File but when I export it into .txt I need it to be in the First Column)
2) I need to have the header name Changed in the .txt file (i.e. COB Date is the name in the EXCEL file but I need it to show as cob_date in the .txt file)
how to write content of an array and a tab to a file. I have all the file handling working, my questions is how to do the actual write. The items in the array are all text strings but this doesnt work

I am trying to use VBA to manage invoice generation via an online service. The service is set up in such a way that the process cannot be made completely automatic, but I am trying to reduce it to as few manual steps as possible. Hence I am opening the Web Browser control in an Excel userform to streamline and guide the user's process. The invoice is generated as a Tab-delimited TXT file. I don't want to save the file to disk, and selecting 'Open' opens the file as a web page, rather than in Notepad or Excel.
One way or another this data needs to be transferred to a hidden Excel worksheet for further processing. So I am trying to devise a way to copy the data from the web page and paste it onto the Excel worksheet. Here is the relevant code from within the Web Browser's class module:
If URL Like "https://www.fedex.com/FedExMMA/downloadcenter.do*" Then
Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
SendKeys "^a^c", False
Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3").Paste Destination:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3"). Range("A1")
End If
The "^a^c" (control-A, control-C) part works correctly; if I interrupt the code at that point I can open Notepad and directly paste the invoice data. But pasting into Excel fails in a way that has me baffled. Instead of the invoice it pastes the previous contents of the clipboard; for instance the invoice number that I copy and paste in an earlier step. I can even run the code as written above, see the invoice number pasted into Excel, and directly open Notepad, type Control-V, and have the actual invoice pasted into Notepad! It is as if Excel's paste function accesses different clipboard data from other applications. So my brief question is: How do I get the data into Excel? The longer question is: Is there some step I have missed that specifies to Excel what clipboard data to paste?
I'm trying to create a excel sheet with macros that will generate a tab delimitd file which is a journal voucher and I want to upload that .txt file to our financial system (SAP). When I create a tab delimited file manually, that is I enter all the values in excel and save as .txt it works great. But I have created a spreadsheet where the useres (all employees on the financial departement) enter the info required. I have a macro validating that all fields are correct and so on.. When they are finished they sedt the spreadsheet to me (an excelfile) via email, this is done by a submit buttom(macro) and the I have a hidden sheet in the worksheet which gets all the values that are necessery and then I create my tab delimited file using the well known save as fileformat=xltext macro. But SAP will not accept this file. I get error messages as convertion erros in line 4 column 6 and so on. The sheet which is saved as .txt is 100% with formulas, it gets all the value from another sheet(sheet1). I use the formula =IF(Sheet1!$E17=0;"";Sheet1!E17) in the cells with E17 changing to whatever cell is required. What can be wrong here? May it be that all the formulas (columns A to H and row 2 to 1001) somehow mix it all up and even to the cell is empty is the formula is somehow hidden in the .txt file and that messes it all up??

On a daily basis I open about 35 text files in Excel at one time, and then must responde to 35 dialog boxes:
"This file is not in a recognizable format" - I click OK
"Delimited or Fixed Width (default)" - I change to Delimited
"Delimiters listed with Tab as default" - I change to Space
I go through that 35 times. I don't save these files that I have opened, but once they are all open I paste each one in a separate worksheet in one workbook.
Can I at least change the defaults on these text boxes to Delimited, Space? That way I would just need to click on OK, then Finish for each file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've a word form that collects free text and tick boxes. I'm reading these into separate rows on an excel sheets. So far what works...
I've got excel vba converting the word to a delimited text file
I've got excel vba to remove the erroneous rtns that people have entered into the free text that was things up.
In the free text there are commas entered as well as the tick boxes and this is a csv. Example
"how do I do this, I don't know",1,1,0,1,"really seems to be a challenge!"
If I just use excel to open the text file then the columns work out ok and on a single row - I think the 'text qualifier' is playing a role here.
But I can't replicate this in VBA. If I record a macro it's a query table and I don't know how to amend the code to read into rows.
I have a work sheet with some names address, and phone number in it... I need to save it as a CVS file (comma delimited) easy right??? WRONG!!! everytime I save it, it takes the phone number column and shortens it AND turn the phone numbers into a mess

9057926500

If is make the column bigger it goes back to the "good" numbers, but when I save to a CVS it goes to the "bad" number.
In my workbook I have 10 columns with data, starting at A12 and down. This could be several hundred rows.
I would like to export the first three columns only (Column A, B and C). The TXT file should have the following:
First line: "This file was exported from Excel"
Second line: The value of cell B4 of the worksheet
Third line: The value of cell B5 of the worksheet
Fourth line: Today's date ( as 27/Sep/2007)
Fifth line: No entries (Empty row)
Sixth line will be the first numeric transfer. This is cell A12 value, cell B12 value and cell C12 value.
Seventh line: Cell A13 value, cell B13 value and cell c13 value.
etc, until the end or selected amount of rows.
The values of the different columns should be separated by commas
Column A values could be 9 characters (5 numerics with 4 decimals - 12345.6789)
Column B values could be 10 characters (6 numerics with 4 decimals - 123456.7890)
Column C values could be 10 characters (6 numerics with 4 decimals - 123456.7890)
The text file therefor would look as follows:
This file was exported from Excel.
Company ABC

123.4567, 23.7654, 123.4567

In my excel file I have chinese and some other special characters and many cells have text with commas.
My problem starts when I try to save my file as a Text.
When I Save As with the Unicode option I can see the chinese characters in my text file but also I see a lot of quotes """ because I have commas in my xls file.
When I Save As with Tab Delimited option to solve the comma problem, the chinese characters become?
It seems that cannot be possible to do it manually cause there is no option to Save As with Unicode and Tab option together.
So I would deeply appreciate someone could give me a solution with VBA code to save my file as Text with Unicode and Tab Delimited option.
I am working with Excel 2003 which has a limit of 256 columns. I often import text files into excel using a very simple macro. I specify the text file's name and location in a cell and then run the macro - it opens the text file, copies the data and pastes it into the worksheet, then delimiting the columns using the semi-colons that seperated the data in the original text file.
However, I now have a text file that would convert into excel as around 1,000 columns and about 20 rows. This obviously causes a problem since my limit is 256 columns in Excel 2003.
Is there any way that Excel can transpose my data when it brings it into the spreadsheet from the text file so that I end up with 20 columns and 1,000 rows? Ideally I'd do this in VBA and add the code onto my existing little macro
am in a time crunch to write VBA code(not use the macro recorder) to do the following:

Each column of the text file is as follows (product code, buy/sell, quantity, price, date) Example row below.
YM Buy 50 12800 1/2/2008
Is there code I can use to do this? I need each individual piece of data to import into it's own cell while keeping the Row/column alignment of the original text document.
I use a macro that saves my activesheets in text(tab delimited).
I am trying to find how to save my worksheets as tab delimited files without having to open the notepad later, in order to press the backspace button. Just to clarify more, if a sheet has 15 rows of data, the tab delimited file will be created with 16. Is there a way to save the actual number of rows in the text file or this is a default operation in excel that cannot be changed in any way?
I have a spreadsheet with a number of columns containing comma delimited strings (years) which I need to check cell by cell and return false if anything apart from the years 2001 to 2008 is found.
For instance, a cell may contain the years (2001, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008) or (2006, 2007) or (2001, 2004, 2008) or (2004) or any combination of those 8 years.
I thought of using the Split function on each cell and then looping through the resultant array to do a comparison against each of the 8 years but with a large number of delimited strings to check it could be a bit time consuming. Any idea how I could accomplish this more quickly and efficiently either with a formula or VBA?
I am working with 300k records and would like to export to statistics software that accepts special character delimited.

I have a workbook with sheets of data that should be imported into another system. So i would like some code that does the following:
1.) make a copy of worksheet x and paste (paste special) the values in a new worksheet.
2.) Delete row 1 in new worksheet (the labels)
3.) Ask the user for a file name and path and save the worksheet as a tab delimited txt file.
4.) Delete the worksheet created in 1.)
5.) Leave the user with the original .xls file
I will assign this macro to a button so the experience for the user is:
1.) press button
2.) input file name and location and have a text file saved
