View Full Version : Copying multiple text files into one excel but different tabs
Hello everyone,
I am relatively new to VBA. I am trying to copy multiple text files(around 4) into one excel but different tabs and then edit the excel further.
I am able to find good youtube videos on how to copy multiple text files into one excel but not into different tabs.
Can somebody help me to start with it.
Thanks in advance!!
Show us your code for copying text files, I don't feel like reinventing your wheel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinventing_the_wheel), I would rather just make what you have work
Thanks for replying Sam.
I haven't written any code yet but I think it will be good idea to write something first and you can update accordingly to meet my requirements.
Let me write something as per my knowledge and I will get back to you.
Hi, 
When i wrote the code :
Sub importfiles()
'
' importfiles Macro
For rep = 4 To 7
Dim file_name As String
Dim row_number As String
Dim output_sheet As String
    file_name = Sheets("Admin").Range("B" & rep).Value
    output_sheet = Sheets("Admin").Range("C" & rep).Value
    row_number = Sheets("Admin").Range("D" & rep).Value
    
    With Sheets(output_sheet).QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" + file_name, Destination:=Sheets(output_sheet).Range("$A$" + row_number))
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
        .TextFilePlatform = 850
        .TextFileStartRow = 1
        .TextFileParseType = xlFixedWidth
        .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
        .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
        .TextFileTabDelimiter = True
        .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
        .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
        .TextFileFixedColumnWidths = Array(10, 2)
        .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
    
    Dim wb_connection As WorkbookConnection
    For Each wb_connection In ActiveWorkbook.Connections
        If InStr(file_name, wb_connection.Name) > 0 Then
        wb_connection.Delete
        End If
        Next wb_connection
        
Next rep
End Sub
I am getting error "Subscription out of range" error at the line in bold above.
Could help me with this?
