The Solution Rating System

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.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Excel Macro to Save A Worksheet as Text File

Asked by FirePits in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Visual Basic Programming, Microsoft Applications

Tags: Microsoft, Excel, 2003, VB

Basically, I have a workbook with 4 sheets and would like to have a macro that saves one of the worksheets as a tab/semicolon delimited text file to a specified location once the workbook is exited. (BeforeClose event) I have been messing with the code for this and can't seem to figure it out without getting an error every time. Here the code I've been using, any help is appreciated :

Sub SaveFile()
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
   
    'Save a temporary copy with a unique filename to prevent over writes
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ("TEMP " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xls")

    Dim wb As Workbook
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' turn off the screen updating
       
        Set wb = Workbooks.Open("TEMP " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xls")

        ' open the source workbook
        With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Staffing Forecast")

            ' read data from the source workbook and create the tab delimited file
            Worksheets("Staffing Forecast").SaveAs Filename:= _
            "C:\output.txt", _
            FileFormat:=xlTextWindows, ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
       
            'Delete the temporary file
            Kill "TEMP " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xls"


        End With
    wb.Close False ' close the source workbook without saving any changes
    Set wb = Nothing ' free memory
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True ' turn on the screen updating
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub
