Text import and transpose - pretty difficult
Hi
I have a text file (tabe delimitted) that gives tha cash flow of intial investment. This looks like: ValDate PoolNo CF_date CF_Amt 08/01/2007 12345 01/01/2007 100.00 08/01/2007 12345 02/01/2007 200.00 08/01/2007 12346 01/01/2007 100.00 08/01/2007 12346 02/01/2007 200.00 08/01/2007 12346 03/01/2007 250.00 08/01/2007 12346 04/01/2007 175.00 I am using the follwoing code to import: Public Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String) Dim RowNdx As Long Dim ColNdx As Integer Dim TempVal As Variant Dim WholeLine As String Dim Pos As Integer Dim NextPos As Integer Dim SaveColNdx As Integer Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'On Error GoTo EndMacro: SaveColNdx = ActiveCell.Column RowNdx = ActiveCell.Row Open FName For Input Access Read As #1 While Not EOF(1) Line Input #1, WholeLine If Right(WholeLine, 1) < Sep Then WholeLine = WholeLine & Sep End If ColNdx = SaveColNdx Pos = 1 NextPos = InStr(Pos, WholeLine, Sep) While NextPos = 1 TempVal = Mid(WholeLine, Pos, NextPos - Pos) Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).Value = TempVal Pos = NextPos + 1 ColNdx = ColNdx + 1 NextPos = InStr(Pos, WholeLine, Sep) Wend RowNdx = RowNdx + 1 Wend EndMacro: On Error GoTo 0 Application.ScreenUpdating = True Close #1 End Sub This macro basically imports the file in the same row/column format. I want to transpose the result in excel to look like : Val Date Pool # CF_date1 CF_Amt1 CF_date2 CF_Amt2 .... and so on for as many as cashflows given for the same pool no. (so its not a set number of columns. If there are two rows in the text file for one pool number (see sample pool no 12345 above) it should look like Val Date Pool # CF_date1 CF_Amt1 CF_date2 CF_Amt2 08/01/2007 12345 01/01/2007 100.00 02/01/2007 200.00 If there are 10 rows for the same pool no, then I get the ValDate, Pool# and 20 columns for the CF_date (1 to 10) and CF_amt (1 to 10) - All together 22 columns How can I modify this code to achive this? or any other suggestions... total cash flows will not exceed 60 months. I dont have to worry about exceeding the column limitation in Excel 2003. Thanks Mohan |
