Default Help with macro. Import text file (fixed width)

Hi Sinner

Thanks for your reply.

Here is a new code to test.

Using workbooks.opentext will import the file to a new workbook, so we
process the imported data then copy it to desired workbook and sheet.


Sub TestMe()
Dim ImportWbk As Workbook
Dim newWbk As Workbooks
Dim TestRow As Range

Set ImportWbk = ThisWorkbook

DestFile = Application.GetOpenFilename
If DestFile = False Then
msg = MsgBox("No file was selected." & vbLf & vbLf & "Macro terminate!",
vbCritical, "Best regards, Per Jessen")
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=DestFile, Origin:=437, StartRow:=1,
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, _
FieldInfo:=Array(Array(0, 1), Array(30, 2), Array(42, 1), Array(56, 1),
Array(90, 1), _
Array(140, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
On Error goto 0
Set newWbk = ActiveWorkbook

Cells.Select
Selection.Columns.AutoFit
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 85
Rows("1:8").Delete
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Select
LastCol = Selection.Columns.Count
For r = Selection.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
Set TestRow = Range(Cells(r, 1), Cells(r, LastCol))
TestRow.Select
For Each c In TestRow
If c.Value Like "----*" Then
c.EntireRow.Delete
Exit For
ElseIf c.Value Like "*Total*" Then
c.EntireRow.Delete
ElseIf c.Value Like "*total*" Then
c.EntireRow.Delete
ElseIf c.Value Like "====*" Then
c.EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next
Next
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("C1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

Selection.Copy
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=ImportWbk.Sheets("SBL").Range("A1")
newWbk.Close savechanges:=False
End

ErrHandler:
msg = MsgBox("No file was selected." & vbLf & vbLf & "Macro terminate!",
vbCritical, "Best regards, Per Jessen")
End Sub

Regards,

Per

Just a little correction to the code:

Sub TestMe()

DestFile = Application.GetOpenFilename
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=DestFile, Origin:=437, StartRow:=1,
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, _
FieldInfo:=Array(Array(0, 1), Array(30, 2), Array(42, 1), Array(56, 1),

Rows("1:8").Delete

If c.Value Like "----*" Then
c.EntireRow.Delete
ElseIf c.Value Like "*Total*" Then ' Case sensitive
c.EntireRow.Delete
ElseIf c.Value Like "====*" Then
c.EntireRow.Delete
End If

Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("C1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _

Hi


Insert a CommandButton from the Control Toolbox menu, and hit "Exit
Design
Mode"


On the codesheet for Sheet1 enter this code (or choose the sheet where
the
command button is):


Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call Macro1
End Sub


Put code below in an ordinary module. As I don't know i which row(s) to
test in order to determine rows to delete the code loops thru all cells
with data.


Sub TestMe
DestFile = Application.GetOpenFilename
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=DestFile, Origin:=437, StartRow:=1,
DataType:=xlFixedWidth, _
FieldInfo:=Array(Array(0, 1), Array(30, 2), Array(42, 1), Array(56, 1),
Array(90, 1), _
Array(140, 1)), TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
Cells.Select
Selection.Columns.AutoFit
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 85
Rows("1:8").Delete
For Each c In Range("A1").CurrentRegion
If c.Value Like "----*" Then
c.Delete
ElseIf c.Value Like "*Total*" Then ' Case sensitive
c.Delete
ElseIf c.Value Like "====*" Then
c.Delete
End If
Next
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("C1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess,
_
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End Sub


Regards,


Per


Dear PER,

Two things that need to fix.

- Incase a text file is not selected and we exit the macro, it should
not give arror message.
- The data sould import to same workbook. Worksheet name is SBL.
- The total is not being deleted. All values with word total are
consolidated at end of columnE. I like the cell wise loop which is
good since file doesn't have a delimiter and we have space as
delimiter. Total can come in any column. At the moment it comes in
columnE. Hope you can adjust accordingly. Suit yourself with what ever
approach you go ahead but rows with total need to be deleted.

Thanks.
