I have to merge data from multiple Excel format files into one specific CSV file. I'm new in VBA, so I really appreciate any sample code.
Source data from the same Excel format file:
Cell B3: <UserName>
Cell B4: <Department>
Cell B5: <Mail address>
*These data are 1 user per 1 file in the same format. I'd like to append these data to the one specific existing CSV file in one click by using VBA macro in an each file.
Output CSV(existing CSV file):
<UserName>,<Department>,<Mailaddress>
User1,Sales,user1#domain.com
User2,HR,user2#domain.com
....
The first row is for the header info. I need to append data from the second row.
If you employ the Merge Tool in Excel, or use the Power Query, you should get what you want. In addition, try the AddIn below. This will do all kinds of copy/paste/merge tasks.

This is perhaps one of those many times discussed questions with solutions more specific to actual system that outputs the data into a CSV file.
Is there a simple way to export data like 3332401187555, 9992401187000 into a CSV file in a way that later when opened in Excel, the columns won't show them in "scientific" format? Should this be important, the data is retrieved directly by an SQL SELECT statement from any DBMS.
This also means that I've tried solutions like surrounding the values with apostrophes '3332401187555' and the Excel cell recognizes those as text and doesn't do any conversions/masking. Was wondering if there was a more elegant way without actually it being a pre-set Excel template with text data fields.
1. Try exporting the numbers prefixed with single quote. Example: '3332401187555.
2. In excel, select the column containing number values
and then select Number in Format Cells.
Just have to save your file with Excel the option CSV file. And you have the in file in requested format.
Frequently in my job I need to generate reports with lots of tables of inputs and results. Especially for the result tables, one change in analysis may require editing a dozen spreadsheets. I'd like to create a macro in word that pulls in data from a spreadsheet, with each table on it's own tab, so that if I update any of those tables in excel the word document tables will also update. Given the number of tables/data points, I don't want to have to tell the macro to pull each single data point. The aim would be to reduce time and errors from manual entry.
I'm thinking this would involve the following steps, but not sure how to go about them:
1) Define the name/size for each table in word with matching name/size in excel
2) Tell the macro to pull the data into a table format
I'm not sure if this is possible as so far I've only seen how to insert a caption or a text box, not insert or update entire tables. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Depending on what you're doing, you may not even need any VBA code.
If you copy a range from Excel and paste it into Word using Paste Special with the 'paste link' option, any subsequent changes in the Excel range will automatically be reflected in the document when the workbook is saved. And, if you name the range in Excel before copying/pasting, the Word content will expend/contract to reflect changes in the named range's scope in Excel. A variety of paste formats is supported.
Alternatively, you might use a DATABASE field in Word.
I have 1000 files in Excel format (Excel 2010) and each file contains 7 sheets with data.
This is an example for Excel sheet.
Is there a way to automatically convert the numbers that are stored as text to numbers, without affecting the actual text data? (maybe by VBA macros ? but I am a beginner in VBA code)
I can give you an algorithm, but I don't have time to write the entire code. I would write it in a seperate workbook, for repeatability. You can then either hardcode the 7 file names, or you can make an input for file name (the latter is a bit more flexible, if you need to use it for more files later).
Open a file
Loop all sheets
Loop all cells
If IsNumeric(Cell.Value) > Change format
You should be able to Google your way to the separate parts. Once you have some actual code, you can ask for more help on StackOverflow.
I have a C program that generates CSV files as output.
For example - I have 12 CSV files; one for each month. First column is Employee Name and Second column is their respective salaries. Assume there are 10 employees.
I want to format the 'salaries'column such that if a cell has a value over 10,000, the text should become green. Else it should remain blue. I have been able to do this using VBA for one file by adding a Command Button in the file and writing a small script.
However the issue is, every time I run my C code, it will generate a new set of CSVs; overwriting the existing ones. Besides, I want to apply such formatting to other CSV files I intend to generate.
I read that a .xla Add-In (which can exist on its own unlike embedded VBA macros in an Excel sheet) might be the solution.
I have 2 questions -
1. Is it possible to do with Add-Ins?
2. If yes, then I wanted to create a single batch file which would first generate the CSVs, and then run the Add-In on it. Is that possible too?
Thank You.
One SSIS package does the data export from 3 sources to Excel. Before exporting into excel the file, the data goes through sorting, aggregation and finally it goes before Conditional Split. I placed data viewers at every place and could see that the records are there but when the excel is exported i don't see any records.
before the export happens, previous day excel is deleted and a new excel is created from a template excel. At the end of data flow task, I see excel containing columns from template excel and no rows in it.
What is causing this issue. I have kept data viewer and I see the data as it goes by but I don't see data after the conditional split or before the conditional split happens.
Please see the pic. After the conditional split, there are 3 excel destination. One of them which you can see.
