Exporting from Excel to a text file
How do I export only the visible cells, not the hidden ones, in an Excel
spreadsheet to a text file? |
Copy those visible cells to a new worksheet nad save from there (as .txt)?

I was actually wanting to use a filter to gain the row of information I need
and export them to the text file using a button with a macro attached if it's possible. "Dave Peterson" wrote: Copy those visible cells to a new worksheet nad save from there (as .txt)?

You could create a macro that would loop through the rows/cells and check the
columnwidth/rowheight. Then write the values out to that text file. If you want to do that, you may want to review some code that other's have written: Chip Pearson's: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm J.E. McGimpsey's: http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/textfiles.html Earl Kiosterud's Text Write program: www.smokeylake.com/excel (or directly: http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/text_write_program.htm) === But I think I'd record a macro when I applied the filter and did that stuff manually. If you need help, post back with what you've tried and I'm sure someone will jump in to help.
