Change Default Delimiters
Hello,
How do I change the default delimiters in Excel 2007? I want to add ';' and ',' to the default delimiters instead of selecting it every time I import files. |

I don't get it. I haven't programmed since C++ in college. Is there a way for
me to adjust the defaults in Excel so that it will be in effect for all imports as well as new workbooks or do I have to use code?

From a old thread with Jim Rech:
This is the only way as far as I know ****************************** This isn't a big help but I find that, if I do a Data, Text to Columns and specify the semicolon, then any text file imports I do after that the semicolon remains selected. Excel 2003 anyway. So you could 'prime' the text import wizard for an Excel session with this macro: Sub PrimeTextImport() Workbooks.Add ActiveCell.Value = "abc" Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _ TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Semicolon:=True ActiveWorkbook.Close False End Sub -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "Renee B." wrote in message ...
