With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Import CSV file into excel using VBA

Asked by PKS6A in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, VB Database Programming, VB Script

Tags: , , ,

Hi I presently have a difficulty with importing csv files into excel using VBA. I have created a macro which is meant to read each record from a csv file and put it into excel. The code also needs to handle the splitting into different sheets when the csv file has more than the allowed 65536 rows. Can you please help. My code is ignoring the first record, thus not bringing back all records. code below.

'Imports text file into Excel workbook using ADO.
'If the number of records exceeds 65536 then it splits it over more than one sheet.

    Dim strFilePath As String, strFilename As String, strFullPath As String
    Dim lngCounter As Long
    Dim oConn As Object, oRS As Object, oFSObj As Object

    'Get a text file name
    strFullPath = Application.GetOpenFilename("Text Files (*.csv),*.csv", , "Please selec text file...")

    If strFullPath = "False" Then Exit Sub  'User pressed Cancel on the open file dialog

    'This gives us a full path name e.g. C:tempfolderfile.txt
    'We need to split this into path and file name
    Set oFSObj = CreateObject("SCRIPTING.FILESYSTEMOBJECT")

    strFilePath = oFSObj.GetFile(strFullPath).ParentFolder.Path
    strFilename = oFSObj.GetFile(strFullPath).Name


    'Open an ADO connection to the folder specified
    Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.CONNECTION")
    oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
               "Data Source=" & strFilePath & ";" & _
               "Extended Properties=""text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"""

    Set oRS = CreateObject("ADODB.RECORDSET")

    'Now actually open the text file and import into Excel
    oRS.Open "SELECT * FROM " & strFilename, oConn, 3, 1, 1
    While Not oRS.EOF
        Sheets.Add
        ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset oRS, 65536
    Wend

    oRS.Close
    oConn.CloseStart Free Trial
