Importing txt file into excel; QueryTables - vba

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)
With jess916
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewDetails
.InitialFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path
.Filters.Add "Open File ", "*.txt", 1
.ButtonName = "Import file"
.Title = " jess916c Search for .txt file to Import"
If .Show = -1 Then
FullPath = .SelectedItems(1)
Else:
Exit Sub
End If
End With
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & FullPath, Destination:=Range("A2"))
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = True
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = False
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 850
.TextFileStartRow = 9
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False

.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub

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
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 1252
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = True
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
errorHandler:
Exit Sub
End Sub

Set RefreshOnOpenFile to False and that will solve your issue.

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....

Import multiple CSV files into master excel spreadsheet and append the data to previous imports

I have a script that imports a .csv file into worksheet "Data"
After the first import all following ones appear to the right of the previous imports and not added onto the bottom (last row).
I think the issue involves this area of the script:
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data").Range("$A$1"))
Sub load_csv()
Dim fStr As String
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Cancel Selected"
Exit Sub
End If
'fStr is the file path and name of the file you selected.
fStr = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & fStr, Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data").Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "CAPTURE"
.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 = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub
You need to examine the destination to see what the next unused cell is.
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
..., Destination:=.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
'lots of other stuff
End With
You can rereference the ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data") repeatedly but using a With ... End With statement is easier.

Open source path file from activecell VBA

"This code can open source file with any path .. but now I have the list of source path files on sheet1 and I want to open the file on active cell.. How should I fix this code ? "
Dim Ret
Ret = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Files (*), *")
Sheet2.Activate
If Ret <> False Then
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & Ret, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.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 = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileOtherDelimiter = "|"
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End If
Assign the value of the ActiveCell to Ret.
Ret = ActiveCell.Value
Then check if the returned path is valid. Something like:
If Dir(Ret) <> "" Then
'~~> rest of your code here
Else
MsgBox "Invalid Path"
'~~> or do something else
End If
HTH.
