Importing multiple text files to spreadsheet
Just wondering if anyone might know if there's a way to automate this problem: I have 200 text files that need to be imported to 1 worksheet on Excel. - each file should be imported to 1 column in the Excel worksheet - the 'next' file imported to the next column - thus after the import, there should be 200 filled columns - starting with zero columns filled ??? Any ideas? ========================== FYI: essentially, i'm trying to get information from the text files - which represent 1 record - to a database, & i'm using a spreadsheet to do this coz after the import, I will still have to adjust the size of each column to align the fields (each line in a text file = 1 field, but some lines are missing from some text files). So if anyone can suggest another method to do this, by all means...... ps. I actually want each file to fill a row, not a column, but this seems easy enough w/ a "Paste Special" & "transpose" function..... -- lanwu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lanwu's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=15017 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=266348

Ianwu,
The following VBA sub will open each .txt file in folder C:\MyFolder in
turn, and import each line in each file horizontally, so no need to
transpose afterwards. Open a new workbook, right-click on a sheet tab and
select View Code; when taken to the VBA window, select the file you want to
save the code in in the upper left panel (the new workbook, or, Personal.xls
so it is globally available), and go to menu item Insert > Module. Pste the
code below in the right hand side panel, and change the folder from
C:\MyFolder to your actual folder name. Run the code (F5 in the VBA window
or Tools > Macro > Macros while in the spreadsheet) and it's done.
Sub Import_Text_Files()
Dim fs, f, f1, vLine
Dim i As Long, j As Long
i = 0
Range("A1").Select
fldr = "C:\MyFolder\"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.getfolder(fldr)
Set f1 = f.Files
For Each f2 In f1
filenam = fldr & f2.Name
If Right(filenam, 4) = ".txt" Then
j = 0
Open filenam For Input As #1
Do Until EOF(1)
Line Input #1, vLine
ActiveCell.Offset(i, j).Value = vLine
j = j + 1
Loop
Close #1
i = i + 1
End If
Next
End Sub
HTH,
Nikos

Help: Formula put into entire row creates large file size
Hi, I have a spreadsheet where I would like one column to be the concatenation of two other columns. For example, in column C I would have =A1&B1.

If I paste this formula into the entire column C, the excel file blows up to 3 megabytes. (It's only 15KB without this column). Are there ways for me to accomplish this more efficiently?

Hello, everyone I have to create a field on the form with a drop-down list where user can select more than one value. It seems like standard insruments (creating attribute with picklist type) are not working cause it's not allowed to choose more than one value. If you have ideas about that, please assist -- ---------------------- regards, Ilya Milshtein MBS Master, MBSCP, MCP Softline International www.softline.ru As you noticed, multi-value picklists are not an option in crm 3.0. What you can do is create a new custom entity instead of a picklist. So if your picklist was for "...
Limiting The Amount of Text
Hi, Is there a way I can limit the amount of Text I can enter into th cells of a selected column? For example, when listing on eBay, the description bar on eBay i limited to 40 characters. Since I list items on eBay with Excel, i would save me a lot of time if I were able to lock the cells in m "Description" column to 40 characters instead of going back an counting all the characters in those cells.

Can I convert footnote numbers to text
I'm working with a document where the author has used the automated endnote facility in Word. Since this is about to be translated into Quark for typesetting, I need the endnote marks and the numbers with the endnotes to be real numbers, not endnote marks -- Quark will not read them as numbers. I was sure I did the conversion using ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText in Visual Basic once before, but I can't seem to make it work. Help! There are 20 chapters with about 40 endnotes each. ActiveDocument.ConvertNumbersToText only works with paragraph numbering (and LISTNUM fi...

odd files created
Every time I open and edit an excel spreadsheet on a network share, small odd files get created. They are usually no larger than 25-40k and don't have any extensions to them. Looking at the properties page for any file, the file description says File. Anyone know what this is from or how to get rid of them? Permissions are setup correctly for me, Word files don't have this behavior. Excel 2000 SP3 Thanks, Hi Brian, A file the same size as the workbook would be created in the same directory as the workbook. The filename would be nonsensical (or appear to be random) character...

What are the supported file attachment types for fax activities? So far I've gotten simple text files and Bitmaps to attach properly, but Word documents do not work. Anyone know? Is this completed undocumented or what? Try this! If you are attaching a file under the Notes tab, you need to save your fax activity first then you can attach the file.
