Combine .csv

Need excel VBA code from which I execute code. Code combine all .csv file from location in to import.csv. import.csv if exist then add data from available blank row else Crete New and add.

Thanks

I don't get "import.csv if exist then add data from available blank row". Can you try to explain?

Mr.Qlemo,

Forget that part I need on button click code execute -
which open or whatever .csv files & create one import.csv file which include all data of all .csv files.
header required from 1st file and from rest of the files header need to be excluded. one more thing after combing sort the data for column A.I had attached sample files and final output file requesting you to look in.

mine csv files location is "D:\AmiBroker Data\NSEeq"

Thank you
1.csv
2.csv
3.csv
4.csv
import.csv

Apology For Delay

Need more clarifications?

File 4 could be an issue. A CSV file should be homogenous in its structure (i.e. always provide values for all columns).

ok then consider file 4 is same as others....

Is the amount of data in each file representative? The sort is an issue here - we require to load the data into Excel for sorting, or use DOS tools to perform it. Both might lead to hitting some memory limits, or perform very bad.

Prefer to load data in to excel...yes I know "Both might lead to hitting some memory limits, or perform very bad. "
after importing data in to import.csv sort it column A.

Thanks

Do u mean this

sFilename = Dir(wb.Path & "\*.csv")

Select allOpen in new window

sFilename = Dir(D:\AmiBroker Data\Test& "\*.csv")

Select allOpen in new window

Considering D - AmiBrokerData - Test is path of .csv files

Thanks

Sort of, you left out some quotes.  I like to add the Compile button to the VBE toolbar and compile programs before running them.  

I can test your example files if you like but what I posted should get you very close.

sFilename = Dir("D:\AmiBroker Data\Test" & "\*.csv")

Select allOpen in new window

Be sure to note my comments where I explain how to set the references to the objects used.  Otherwise, you will get a reference error.

i got error ....will you pls attaché file with code...Thanks

This comment

    'Tools, References and select Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects x.x Object Library.

Select allOpen in new window

immediately above the line showing the error is intended to tell you what you need to do, but is missing one line (I suppose). In VBA Editor, select References in the Tools menu and select Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects x.x Library, where x.x is a version number - best to choose the one with the highest version, unless you need to be compatible with other machines having to run the code, in which case you need to select the highest found on all machines in question.

Selected& this code run nothing happen as well as no error

Please suggest what to do or what mi missing.

Thanks

?

Do u want me to close this question ?


Thanks

Is the path used correct, and having CSV files in it?
Go thru the code stepwise (F8) to see what is happening.

I have been out of pocket traveling for work.  I did test with your files a bit and a similar approach but more simplified might work better for you.  It would still use ADO.  If you are still interested, I can work on that for you.  I have an idea for another approach or two as well.

Any aproch I don't mind....

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

The question has either no comments or not enough useful information to be called an "answer".

Sorry I don't understand much .....but it is not right to delete this question as some one devoted time in this. so apology administrator but I am accepting both comments as Answer.

Thanks
