How to load CSV in a workbook replacing existing sheet? - vba

I have the following Macro which imports a CSV-file as a new sheet which is called "Tickets". When this file aready exists, I get a runtime-error. Is there a way to just overwrite the existing file if it already exists?
Sub GetCSVList()
Dim dlgOpen As FileDialog
Set dlgOpen = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With dlgOpen
.AllowMultiSelect = False
''Start in
.InitialFileName = "C:\test"
.Show
End With
For Each fname In dlgOpen.SelectedItems
ImportCSV fname
Next
End Sub
Sub ImportCSV(fname)
Set ws = Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count))
ws.Name = "Tickets"
With ws.QueryTables.Add( _
Connection:="TEXT;" & fname, _
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "Test" & Worksheets.Count + 1
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 65001
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
'.UseListObject = False
End With
End Sub

After adding a new worksheet at the end, try to delete any existing worksheet named "Tickets" before renaming the new worksheet to "Tickets":
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
Worksheets("Tickets").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
On Error Resume Next will ignore the error that would arise if there aren't any existing worksheets named "Tickets". This is a little lazy, but that's pretty much the only error that will arise from the Worksheet.Delete method, so you can get away it.
Do not "On Error Resume Next" to just ignore other types of errors in programming!

Excel Macro: Import specific CSV-file instead of selecting it

I use the following Macro to import a CSV-file into Excel.
The Macro itself works fine, but when I start the Macro, I always have to select which CSV-file I want to import (a file selection dialog appears).
Is there a way to automatically select C:\test\testfile.csv instead of the file selection dialog?
Thank you!
Sub GetCSVList()
Dim dlgOpen As FileDialog
Set dlgOpen = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
Worksheets("Tickets").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
With dlgOpen
.AllowMultiSelect = False
''Start in
.InitialFileName = "C:\test"
.Show
End With
For Each fname In dlgOpen.SelectedItems
ImportCSV fname
Next
End Sub
Sub ImportCSV(fname)
Set ws = Worksheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count))
ws.Name = "Tickets"
With ws.QueryTables.Add( _

Something along the lines of the following where you don't open the dialog picker and instead open by using the filepath?
Sub GetCSVList()
' Dim dlgOpen As FileDialog
' Set dlgOpen = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
Dim filepath As String
filepath = "C:\test\testfile.csv"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
Worksheets("Tickets").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
' With dlgOpen
' .AllowMultiSelect = False
' ''Start in
' .InitialFileName = "C:\test"
' .Show
'End With
'For Each fname In dlgOpen.SelectedItems
ImportCSV filepath
'Next
End Sub
change your GetCSVList sub ....
Sub GetCSVList()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
Worksheets("Tickets").Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ImportCSV "C:\test\testfile.csv"
End Sub

Set file origin when Importing text files to excel with VBA

I'm working with a VBA code to import TEXT files from a folder to excel workbooks.
My text file contains non-English encoding/origin and I want to import the file with 1253 Greek windows encoding but can't figure out how to add the origin:="1253" (if i'm right) in this code:
Sub LoadPipeDelimitedFiles()
'UpdatebyKutoolsforExcel20151214
Dim xStrPath As String
Dim xFileDialog As FileDialog
Dim xFile As String
Dim xCount As Long
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Set xFileDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
xFileDialog.AllowMultiSelect = False
xFileDialog.Title = "Select a folder [Kutools for Excel]"
If xFileDialog.Show = -1 Then
xStrPath = xFileDialog.SelectedItems(1)
End If
If xStrPath = "" Then Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
xFile = Dir(xStrPath & "\*.txt")
Do While xFile <> ""
xCount = xCount + 1
Sheets(xCount).Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" _
& xStrPath & "\" & xFile, Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "a" & xCount
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileOtherDelimiter = "|"
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
xFile = Dir
End With
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox "no files txt", , "Kutools for Excel"
End Sub
I guess I was in a rush...
Here is the answer:
.TextFilePlatform = 1253

Importing CSV to another worksheet

I need to import my data into another Excel sheet instead of active worksheet.
I have 2 sheets the UI and the DATA_List. My button is in the UI. I want to import the csv file to data_list sheet.
Sub btnImport_Click()
Dim slect As String
Set r = Range("A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1)
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Cancel Selected"
Exit Sub
End If
slect = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("UI").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & slect, Destination:=r)
.Name = "Data"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Change the first line to
Set r = Worksheets("data_list").Range("A1")
You will also need to change the line
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("UI").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & slect, Destination:=r)
To
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("data_list").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & slect, Destination:=r)

Run time error 1004 excel cannot find the text file to refresh this external range

I'm trying to convert tsv files in a folder to xlsx format by importing them as text file using Data=>From Text option via VBA.
During that encountered this error
Code:
Sub convert()
Dim CSVfolder As String, XlsFolder As String, fname As String, wBook As Workbook
CSVfolder = ActiveSheet.Range("B2").Value & "\"
fname = Dir(CSVfolder & "*.tsv")
Do While fname <> ""
Workbooks.Add
Set wBook = ActiveWorkbook
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & fname, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = fname
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 65001
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierNone
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
wBook.Close False
fname = Dir
Loop
End Sub
End Sub
Why i'm getting the error in .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False ?
The error is happening there as it's at the Refresh stage that it looks for the file.
The issue is that Fname won't contain the path.
Change your connection to:
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & CSVfolder & fname, Destination....

Importing txt file into excel; QueryTables

Im trying to import data's from TXT file to my Excel sheet.
It works fine with below VBA macro but the only problem is after re-opening the excel file macro is trying to look the txt directory and when it can not find it, it is giving an error.
I didnot mean to put such command there but now i do not know how to disable it. Do you guys have an idea about what should i change to disable that function?
Sub test_9()
Dim jess916 As Variant, FullPath As String
Set jess916 = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)

I use the On Error Goto to handle that in my code. See below.
Sub ImportData()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim intChoice As Integer
Dim strPath As String
'only allow the user to select one file
Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).AllowMultiSelect = False
'make the file dialog visible to the user
intChoice = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).Show
'determine what choice the user made
If intChoice <> 0 Then
'get the file path selected by the user
strPath = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen).SelectedItems(1)
End If
'Import data from file
On Error GoTo errorHandler
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & strPath, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "MemoQ Data Range"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False

End With

Exit Sub
errorHandler:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Set RefreshOnOpenFile to False and that will solve your issue.
