export many sheets to text files
I'm trying to adapt code from http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm to
export 150 spreadheets of data to separate text files. It seems to work as long as I type the name of each text file into the save as box. I was hoping someone could show me how to alter the code so that the name of the text file could set automatically based on either the contents of cell A1 or the sheet name of the sheet being exported. Here's what I have so far: Public Sub DoTheExport() Dim FName As Variant Dim Sep As String Dim m As Integer For m = 1 To Sheets.Count ChDir "C:\Documents and Settings\TJ\Desktop\QualDatTEXT" FName = Sheets(m).Range("A1") 'I know this is wrong-I don't know how to fix it FName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename() If FName = False Then MsgBox "You didn't select a file" Exit Sub End If Sep = "," ExportToTextFile CStr(FName), Sep, False Next m End Sub -- tj |

Get rid of the line
FName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename() Other than that, your code looks OK. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "tjtjjtjt" wrote in message ...

Without knowing what is in cell A1, this is a possibility
Public Sub DoTheExport() Dim FName As String Dim Sep As String Dim m As Integer Dims sStr as String sStr = "C:\Documents and Settings\TJ\Desktop\QualDatTEXT\" chdrive sStr chdir sStr For m = 1 To Sheets.Count FName = Sheets(m).Range("A1").Text ' or FName = Sheets(m).Name FName = sStr & FName & ".txt" Sep = "," ExportToTextFile FName, Sep, False Next m End Sub -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "tjtjjtjt" wrote in message ...
