Default Excel Import External Data Wizard

No sure what you are trying to do. One thing you can do is to record a macro
while performing the text import and see the commands that get executed. You
can also open a text file and read the data row by row and perform your own
conversion. Using the Split function in VBA will seperate the data by a
delimiter just like Text-To-Columns.

If you want to give the user different options for the import, you can write
your own Userform so the user can select options and then depending on the
results do a Query (which is used by the text import function) seting the
options the user selects on the userform.

Hi all,

can anybody point me a control, which is similar to the one used as Data
Preview in Text Import Wizard - Step 3 of 3 in Data-Import External Data
menu. I would like to use exactly the same functionality like the control
mentioned above. What control are actually the Excel guys using to import
external data?

Thanks
