Hi All,

I have a txt file which I import in Excel for further analyses. Only in the txt file a point is used for number seperation. Will I work with a comma. How can I change this by using a macro?

Thanks

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Oh dear!

One way is:

1. Select the data and choose Edit, Replace from the menu. Replace . with @
2. Repeat, replacing , with .
3. Repeat replacing @ with ,

If you record your actions you will be able to automate it for future use.
