VBA To Extract Certain Rows From A Text File

**Bogdan** · 08-30-2013, 07:50 PM

Sorry for the delay, wasn't expecting feedback so soon.

Here is the record requested:

Code:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'

'
    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        "TEXT;C:\Users\bszoverdffy\Desktop\New folder\dsadas.txt", Destination:=Range _
        ("$A$1"))
        .Name = "dsadas"
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
        .TextFilePlatform = 65001
        .TextFileStartRow = 1
        .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
        .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
        .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
        .TextFileTabDelimiter = True
        .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
        .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
        .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
        .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
    Columns("A:A").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Columns("C:C").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Columns("E:E").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 3
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 2
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 1
End Sub

I also recorded an macro with the entire selection process:

Code:

Sub Macro3()
'
' Macro3 Macro
'

'
    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        "TEXT;C:\Users\bszoverdffy\Desktop\New folder\dsadas.txt", Destination:=Range _
        ("$A$1"))
        .Name = "dsadas_1"
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
        .TextFilePlatform = 65001
        .TextFileStartRow = 1
        .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
        .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
        .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
        .TextFileTabDelimiter = True
        .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
        .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
        .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
        .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
    Columns("A:A").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Columns("C:C").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    Columns("E:E").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 3
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 2
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 1
    Rows("1:1").Select
    Rows("1:1751").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp

    Rows("771:789").Select
    Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
End Sub

I've also tried to get the required rows using Excel functions.

Code:

Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'

'
    Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(Sheet2!R1C1,Sheet1!C[-1]:C[2],2,0)"
    Range("C1").Select
    Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(Sheet2!R1C1,Sheet1!C[-1]:C[2],3,0)"
End Sub

the problem with this is that for some reason vlookup only works for the highlighted part, the rest of columns/rows I get N/A
