I have several txt files in a specific folder and I want to convert these files to excel by doing txt to columns. Then, I want to save the excel files individually in the same folder by deleting the txt files and keeping the excel file only.
I need the VBA Code which can do this and also by filtering the blanks in column A and deleting all the blanks.
Thanks for your help
try this *** REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE FOLDER NAME (spath)!****:
Sub getTextFiles()
Dim spath As Variant
Dim sfile As Variant
Dim lc As Variant
Dim txtBook As Workbook
Dim x As Variant
Dim saveName As String
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'IMPORTANT!!!!!
'Set path to folder where you keep the text files
spath = "C:\test\"
'Loop through all text files in the folder
sfile = Dir(spath & "*.txt")
Do While sfile <> ""
'Open the text file
Set txtBook = Workbooks.Open(spath & sfile)
'Text to Columns - comma separated
txtBook.Sheets(1).Columns(1).TextToColumns Destination:=txtBook.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1), DataType:=xlDelimited, _
Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, Space:=False, Other:=False
'Find last row with data
lc = txtBook.Sheets(1).Cells(txtBook.Sheets(1).Rows.Count, "a").End(xlUp).Row
'Loop through all rows in column "A" and delete the row if cell is blank
For x = lc To 1 Step -1
If txtBook.Sheets(1).Cells(x, 1) = "" Then txtBook.Sheets(1).Cells(x, 1).EntireRow.Delete
Next x
'Save file as xlsx and close it
'File name without the ".txt" part
saveName = Left(sfile, Len(sfile) - 4)
txtBook.SaveAs Filename:=spath & saveName, FileFormat:=51, CreateBackup:=False
txtBook.Close
Set txtBook = Nothing
'Delete old text file
Kill spath & sfile
'Get another file
sfile = Dir()
Loop
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
