i want this csv file to be loaded into an excel sheet as an individual section when I click load only once (ie each section should go to separate worksheet in excel)
CSV file contain Section name , header and data
Below are the section names in CSv file
3GMACRO
3GFEMTO
2GMACRO
Below are the Header names in CSv file
IMSI,IMEI,Date,Time,GSM MACRO_CellID,GSM MACRO-MCC,GSM MACRO-MNC............ etc
3 worksheets should have headers and data after loading CSV file.
Please help me in doing so.
Thanks in advance
hi
this is what the code i tried but its not working perfectly as needed.
Sub loadData()
'Runtime error handling
'On Error Resume Next
'Unprotect the password protected sheet for loading csv data
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:=pass
'Variable declaration
Dim strFilePath As String, strFilename As String, strFullPath As String
Dim lngCounter As Long
Dim oConn As Object, oRS As Object, oFSObj As Object
'Get a text file name
strFullPath = Application.GetOpenFilename("Text Files (*.csv),*.csv", , "Please select text file...")
'MsgBox "stringfullpath" & strFullPath
If strFullPath = "False" Then Exit Sub 'User pressed Cancel on the open file dialog
'This gives us a full path name e.g. C:tempfolderfile.txt
'We need to split this into path and file name
Set oFSObj = CreateObject("SCRIPTING.FILESYSTEMOBJECT")
strFilePath = oFSObj.GetFile(strFullPath).ParentFolder.Path
strFilename = oFSObj.GetFile(strFullPath).Name
'Open an ADO connection to the folder specified
Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.CONNECTION")
oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & strFilePath & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"""
Set oRS = CreateObject("ADODB.RECORDSET")
'Now actually open the text file and import into Excel
'oRS.Open "SELECT * FROM " & strFilename & " , oConn"
oRS.Open "SELECT * FROM " & strFilename, oConn
While Not oRS.EOF
Sheets("Neighbour3GMacro").Range("A3").CopyFromRecordset oRS
'Sheets.Add Type:=Application.GetOpenFilename & " *.csv"
Sheets("Neighbour3GFemto").Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset oRS
Sheets("Neighbour2GMacro").Range("A2").CopyFromRecordset oRS
Wend
oRS.Close
oConn.Close
End Sub

You can use the Split function to get an array and use this array to fill a Row. Here is a simple solution.
You will need to change Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3 to your worksheet-names and might want to add functionality to ignore header lines. If you have a fix ColumnCount you can also replace the Ubound function with an integer variable.
Sub loadData2()
Dim strFullPath As String
Dim oFSOBj As Object 'Scripting.FileSystemObject'
Dim oFileStream As Object 'Scripting.TextStream'
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
Dim iRow As Long
Dim startRow As Long
Dim startColumn As Integer
Dim line As String
'Please insert Error Handling etc.'
'Get a text file name '
strFullPath = Application.GetOpenFilename("Text Files (*.csv),*.csv", , "Please select text file...")
If strFullPath = "False" Then Exit Sub 'User pressed Cancel on the open file dialog'
Set oFSOBj = CreateObject("SCRIPTING.FILESYSTEMOBJECT")
Set oFileStream = oFSOBj.GetFile(strFullPath).OpenAsTextStream(ForReading)
Set targetSheet = Sheet1
iRow = 0
startRow = 3
startColumn = 1
While (Not oFileStream.AtEndOfStream)
line = oFileStream.ReadLine
If (Left(line, 1) = "#") Then
iRow = 0
If (Left(line, 8) = "#3GMACRO") Then Set targetSheet = Sheet1
If (Left(line, 8) = "#3GFEMTO") Then Set targetSheet = Sheet2
If (Left(line, 8) = "#2GMACRO") Then Set targetSheet = Sheet3
ElseIf Trim(line) <> vbNullString Then 'Else Block: line has content'
csline = Split(line, ",")
targetSheet.Range(targetSheet.Cells(startRow + iRow, startColumn), targetSheet.Cells(startRow + iRow, startColumn + UBound(csline))).Value2 = csline
iRow = iRow + 1
End If
Wend
oFileStream.Close
Set oFileStream = Nothing
Set oFSOBj = Nothing
End Sub
