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!

Applying a macro to the most recently added worksheet to MS Excel workbook

Asked by martin05 in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: MS Excel 2003

I have the following code that imports a txt file with a partial wildcard name into ms excel.  However when I write a macro to do data text to column & delete all rows that do not contain a certain word "POL", the macro only runs on the sheet that I wrote it on (i.e "Sheet19.Select")
Yet each time I run the macro it creates a new worksheet with a different name (Sheet21 then Sheet23 for example)
How would I add the necessary code that would do the following to the most recently added worksheet?
Carry out text to column using delimited other ^
Custom filter by 'does not contain'  "POL" (normally column F when text to columns carried out)  then delete the rows that do not contain the word 'POL' in column F

The current code I have is:
Sub ImportFiles()
Dim sh As Worksheet, sPath As String, sName As String
Dim r As Range, fName As String
Dim sh1 As Worksheet
With ThisWorkbook
 .Worksheets.Add After:=.Worksheets(.Worksheets.Count)
End With
Set sh = ActiveSheet
With ThisWorkbook
 .Worksheets.Add After:=.Worksheets(.Worksheets.Count)
End With
Set sh1 = ActiveSheet
sPath = "C:\Data\Test1\"
' sPath = "C:\Data\Test1\"
 
sName = Dir(sPath & "ABCD1234_*.txt")
Do While sName <> ""
sh1.Activate
fName = sPath & sName
   sh1.Cells.ClearContents
   With sh1.QueryTables.Add( _
      Connection:="TEXT;" & fName, _
       Destination:=sh1.Range("$A$1"))
      .TextFilePlatform = 1252
      .TextFileStartRow = 1
      .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
      .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
      .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
      .TextFileTabDelimiter = False
      .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = True
      .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
      .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
      .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(3, 1, 1, 1)
      .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
      .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
  End With
Set r = sh.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp)
If r.Value <> "" Then Set r = r(2)
sh1.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Copy
r.PasteSpecial xlValue
sName = Dir()
Loop
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
 sh1.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
