Hi,

I am trying to import many txt files at the same time.
Each text file has 3 columns worth of data.

I would like them to be imported to the same worksheet next to each other without spaces.

I am toying with some code now that puts the imported files in new worksheets in the workbook but I do not want this.

Sub Data_Import()

Dim xWb As Workbook
Dim xToBook As Workbook
Dim xStrPath As String
Dim xFileDialog As FileDialog
Dim xFile As String
Dim xFiles As New Collection
Dim I As Long
Set xFileDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
xFileDialog.AllowMultiSelect = False
xFileDialog.Title = "Select a folder [Kutools for Excel]"
If xFileDialog.Show = -1 Then
xStrPath = xFileDialog.SelectedItems(1)
End If
If xStrPath = "" Then Exit Sub
If Right(xStrPath, 1) <> "" Then xStrPath = xStrPath & ""
xFile = Dir(xStrPath & "*.txt")
If xFile = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found", vbInformation, "Kutools for Excel"
Exit Sub
End If
Do While xFile <> ""
xFiles.Add xFile, xFile
xFile = Dir()
Loop
Set xToBook = ThisWorkbook
If xFiles.Count > 0 Then
For I = 1 To xFiles.Count
Set xWb = Workbooks.Open(xStrPath & xFiles.Item(I))
xWb.Worksheets(1).Copy after:=xToBook.Sheets(xToBook.Sheets.Count)
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Name = xWb.Name
On Error GoTo 0
xWb.Close False
Next
End If
End Sub
 
Try
Destination:=Range("A1").Offset(0,Cells(1,Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column + 1)

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
That did it!
Thank you!
Final code seen here:
Code:
Sub Data_Import()
Dim myfiles
Dim i As Integer
myfiles = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="txt Files (*.txt), *.txt", MultiSelect:=True)
If Not IsEmpty(myfiles) Then
    For i = LBound(myfiles) To UBound(myfiles)
         With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
            "TEXT;" & myfiles(i), Destination:=Range("A1").Offset(0, Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column + 1))
            .Name = "sample"
            .FieldNames = True
            .RowNumbers = False
            .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
            .PreserveFormatting = True
            .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
            .RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
            .SavePassword = False
            .SaveData = True
            .AdjustColumnWidth = True
            .RefreshPeriod = 0
            .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
            .TextFilePlatform = 437
            .TextFileStartRow = 1
            .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
            .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
            .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
            .TextFileTabDelimiter = False
            .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
            .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
            .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = True
            .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
            .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
            .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
        End With
    Next i
Else
    MsgBox "No File Selected"
End If
End Sub
