I am trying to automate the pasting of data into my worksheet. I am
manually copying a table from a website (highlight and Ctrl-C), and then doing a Paste Special as text, and then using the Import Text wizard to specify columns and delimiters. In bumbling through the VBA docs, I found the Workbooks.OpenText Method, which seems to duplicate the function of the Import Text wizard. But there are two problems with it --- 1) It wants a filename, but my data will be in the clipboard 2) It wants to put the parsed data into a new workbook with a single sheet, while I want my data appended to an existing sheet. Basically I want to be able to highlight a cell and enter a macro key, and have the table pasted into my worksheet, with the selected cell as the upper left corner of the table. I don't think it would be worth my time to figure out how to use the OpenText method as described in the docs, if I then have to go back and copy all the individual workbooks into my sheet. I am a novice at Excel and VBA, but I'm proficient at C#, so I think I can probably follow an explanation involving objects and methods. Is there a workaround for the two problems above? Thank you. |
