I found a macro that will import multiple text files into Excel.
However, the macro assumes that the data being imported uses the pipe character (|) as a delimiter between fields. However, my data does not have the pipe character. I've imported one of the text files manually and gotten what the fixed widths need to be (all text files are identical in layout). I've tried mycolwidths, but am doing something wrong. Here's the original code with delimter in it.... Thanks! Sub CombineTextFiles() Dim FilesToOpen Dim x As Integer Dim wkbAll As Workbook Dim wkbTemp As Workbook Dim sDelimiter As String On Error GoTo ErrHandler Application.ScreenUpdating = False sDelimiter = "|" FilesToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _ (FileFilter:="Text Files (*.txt), *.txt", _ MultiSelect:=True, Title:="Text Files to Open") If TypeName(FilesToOpen) = "Boolean" Then MsgBox "No Files were selected" GoTo ExitHandler End If x = 1 Set wkbTemp = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=FilesToOpen(x)) wkbTemp.Sheets(1).Copy Set wkbAll = ActiveWorkbook wkbTemp.Close (False) wkbAll.Worksheets(x).Columns("A:A").TextToColumns _ Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _ TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _ ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _ Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, _ Comma:=False, Space:=False, _ Other:=True, OtherChar:="|" x = x + 1 While x <= UBound(FilesToOpen) Set wkbTemp = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=FilesToOpen(x)) With wkbAll wkbTemp.Sheets(1).Move After:=.Sheets(.Sheets.Count) ..Worksheets(x).Columns("A:A").TextToColumns _ Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited, _ TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _ ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _ Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, _ Comma:=False, Space:=False, _ Other:=True, OtherChar:=sDelimiter End With x = x + 1 Wend ExitHandler: Application.ScreenUpdating = True Set wkbAll = Nothing Set wkbTemp = Nothing Exit Sub ErrHandler: MsgBox Err.Description Resume ExitHandler End Sub |
