Get column name and data type from closed workbook
Good day Group, Found the code below from this group that helps me to retrieve the Sheet names from a closed Workbook. Is it possible to get the name of the columns (fields) from a Worksheet in a closed Workbook in the same way? Is it posssible to get the format (data types) of each column? As new to this IŽam grateful for some hints.

If Right$(szTableName, 1) = "$" Then Sheets("data").Cells(lRow, 2).Value = _ Left$(szTableName, Len(szTableName) - 1) lRow = lRow + 1 End If Next tbl cnn.Close Set cat = Nothing Set cnn = Nothing End sub |

Get column name and data type from closed workbook

For Each tbl In cat.Tables szTableName = tbl.Name ''' Worksheet names always end in the "$" character. If Right$(szTableName, 1) = "$" Then Sheets("data").Cells(lRow, "B").Value = _ Left$(szTableName, Len(szTableName) - 1) Set HeaderRow = tbl.Rows(0) ColCount = 3 for each col in HeaderRow.Cells Sheets("data").Cells(lRow, ColCount).Value = col ColCount = ColCount + 1 next col lRow = lRow + 1 End If Next tbl -- joel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ joel's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?u=229 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...d.php?t=200033 http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz |
