Copy a single column from an excel file to a text file - vba

I am using the attached Code Here and at the moment the code that I have copies all the columns to the txt file.
I have 2 columns and the column "B" needs to be copied to txt file.

In Your Code You Use
For P=1 to Lastcolumn
wsData=ActiveSheet.Cells(1,P).value
Next
I Think This Is your Problem. You Split All the cell Values and then Write it into the txt file . You just wonna try to mention that Particular row count and you will get Solution.

Export values to specific cell in an excel file (using PDI)

I have in table input result as below:
I would like pass this result to excel file in specific row.
For example number_record I want to write to column J5, amount_ma to column K2 and so on. Can something like this be done in pentaho?
I have prepare a solution for you HERE. Using this solution, you can specifically tell which field you want to insert in which position in Excel. Like in my solution i told to insert field [NUMBER_RECORD to C5, AMOUNT_MA to D7,AMOUNT_WD to B5] Please run transformation "getData.ktr".
Add a new sheet to this Excel file, and output a line with the result to the new sheet. And on the old sheet in the cells you need, add formulas with a link to the first row in the new sheet

VBA Macros to open Multiple file path store in one cell

Could anyone help me with a macro that can open nultiple file path store in one cell
File path are stored in Column H and I
H1 can have file file path or multiple and same for I
For Example, if 1 file path is found, it will return as below
1,C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\work\287497196_DN.pdf
And if 2 file path are stored, separted by a comma
2,C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\work\Order_9250_TA_0580484707_Copy_of_del._note_XXX_signed_by_cust..TIF,C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\work\Order_9250_TA_580484707_Customer_e-Mail.EML
The numbers in the start indicates the number of files found in a cell with file path
The files can be PDF, .TIf or .EML
Please help me how can I open all file if I click on that particular cell
Would be really helpful
Not have much time to write complete code, but try using something like:
newArray() = Split(Range("H1"), ",")
For i = 1 to Ubound(newArray)
Documents.Open newArray(i)
next i
So this will split your text with file paths using comma delimiter into an array.
After that you'll loop through array (note that 1st array element is zero, so that your loop starts from 2nd element)

Export specific data from a selected cell's row into a CSV file

I have been searching for a solution to this, but it seems like I cannot find it.
So basically, I want to select e.g. H2 and then run the macro.
Then it should copy/paste some specific cells into a new CSV file, e.g. O2 and F2. I also want a fixed value that should always be there, called "No".
The first row of the CSV file should be "UTF-8". The next (2nd row in the CSV) should be some headers that is fixed, just as the UTF-8.
Could a solution be to copy all the relevant data into another sheet with the proper format, and then just export that sheet as a CSV?
Illustration:
"UTF-8"
"Name","ID","Email","Customer"
"H2","O2","F2","No"
Solution ended up being exporting the correct data into another sheet with the proper setup, using the following.
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("XX:XX").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("XX")

excel macro to read text file and find matches in cells

I really could use some help
I have two .txt/csv files that I need to read from into my excel file.
In my excel file I have a whole column, each cell containing string of characters and I need to write a script to be able find matches and and copy an adjacent column from that txt file.
An example of a single row on my txt file is shown below:
"AB101AA","AB10 1AA","AB101A","AB10 1A","AB101","AB10 1","AB10","AB10","AB","10",394251,806376,,
"AB101AF","AB10 1AF","ABERDEEN","ABERDEENSHIRE",,"ABERDEEN, CITY OF"
My excel file would have a cell which probably say "AB101AF" and i want the corresponding cell to run through a million rows and find the match and then find the corresponding nth cell on the txt file and return it on the excel spreadsheet example "ABERDEEN, CITY OF".
I know I havent been helpful in explaining the issue. But any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Depending upon the size of your text file you could import the file using the GetExternalData option in Excel. This would allow you to load your data into a different Sheet and then use a lookup to your data from the main Sheet. Using Match and/or vlookup should help here.
You could also add a workbook connection to the text file and search using the connection.

Convert xls File to csv, but extra rows added?

So, I am trying to convert some xls files to a csv, and everything works great, except for one part. The SaveAs function in the Excel interop seems to export all of the rows (including blank ones). I can see these rows when I look at the file using Notepad. (All of the rows I expect, 15 rows with two single quotes, then the rest are just blank). I then have a stored procedure that takes this csv and imports to the desired table (this works on spreadsheets that have been manually converted to csv (e.g. open, File--> Saves As, etc.)
Here is the line of code I am using for my SavesAs in my code. I have tried xlCSV, xlCSVWindows, and xlCSVDOS as my file format, but they all do the same thing.
wb.SaveAs(aFiles(i).Replace(".xls", "B.csv"), Excel.XlFileFormat.xlCSVMSDOS, , , , False) 'saves a copy of the spreadsheet as a csv
So, is there some additional step/setting I need to do to not get the extraneuos rows to show up in the csv?
Note that if I open this newly created csv, and then click Save As, and choose csv, my procedure likes it again.
When you create a CSV from a Workbook, the CSV is generated based upon your UsedRange. Since the UsedRange can be expanded simply by having formatting applied to a cell (without any contents) this is why you are getting blank rows. (You can also get blank columns due to this issue.)
When you open the generated CSV all of those no-content cells no longer contribute to the UsedRange due to having no content or formatting (since only values are saved in CSVs).
You can correct this issue by updating your used range before the save. Here's a brief sub I wrote in VBA that would do the trick. This code would make you lose all formatting, but I figured that wasn't important since you're saving to a CSV anyway. I'll leave the conversion to VB.Net up to you.
Sub CorrectUsedRange()
Dim values
Dim usedRangeAddress As String
Dim r As Range
'Get UsedRange Address prior to deleting Range
usedRangeAddress = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Address
'Store values of cells to array.
values = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
'Delete all cells in the sheet
ActiveSheet.Cells.Delete
'Restore values to their initial locations
Range(usedRangeAddress) = values
End Sub
Tested your code with VBA and Excel2007 - works nice.
However, I could replicate it somewhat, by formatting an empty cell below my data-cells to bold. Then I would get empty single quotes in the csv. BUT this was also the case, when I used SaveAs.
So, my suggestion would be to clear all non-data cells, then to save your file. This way you can at least exclude this point of error.
I'm afraid that may not be enough. It seems there's an Excel bug that makes even deleting the non-data cells insufficient to prevent them from being written out as empty cells when saving as csv.

Another way, without a script. Hit Ctrl+End . If that ends up in a row AFTER your real data, then select the rows from the first one until at least the row this ends up on, right click, and "Clear Contents".
