Hi All!!
Please I need help to export data from Excel to text file (.txt). I Select a range in Excel and after that I call to the Function below (Alt + F8) - ExporText (I googled it - hehe)
My problem is when I select a range only for filtered cells (Autofilter) (and after that I use a macro to call the function), the function works over all the cells, and I need it works only for visibles. i.e. export only the selected range and no the hidden. The selected range can be only three cells for example.-
Can someone tell me how to modify the code to do it requested?
Function WriteFile(delimiter As String, quotes As Integer) As String
' Dimension variables to be used in this function.
Dim CurFile As String
Dim SaveFileName
Dim CellText As String
Dim RowNum As Long
Dim ColNum As Long
Dim FNum As Integer
Dim TotalRows As Double
Dim TotalCols As Double
' Show Save As dialog box with the .TXT file name as the default.
' Test to see what kind of system this macro is being run on.
If Left(Application.OperatingSystem, 3) = "Win" Then
SaveFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(CurFile, _
"Text Delimited (*.txt), *.txt", , "Text Delimited Exporter")
Else
SaveFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(CurFile, _
"TEXT", , "Text Delimited Exporter")
End If
' Check to see if Cancel was clicked.
If SaveFileName = False Then
WriteFile = "Cancelado"
Exit Function
End If
' Obtain the next free file number.
FNum = FreeFile()
' Open the selected file name for data output.
Open SaveFileName For Output As #FNum
' Store the total number of rows and columns to variables.
TotalRows = Selection.Rows.Count
TotalCols = Selection.Columns.Count
' Loop through every cell, from left to right and top to bottom.
For RowNum = 1 To TotalRows
For ColNum = 1 To TotalCols
With Selection.Cells(RowNum, ColNum)
Dim ColWidth As Integer
ColWidth = Application.RoundUp(.ColumnWidth, 0)
' Store the current cells contents to a variable.
Select Case .HorizontalAlignment
Case xlRight
CellText = Space(Abs(ColWidth - Len(.Text))) & .Text
Case xlCenter
CellText = Space(Abs(ColWidth - Len(.Text)) / 2) & .Text & _
Space(Abs(ColWidth - Len(.Text)) / 2)
Case Else
CellText = .Text & Space(Abs(ColWidth - Len(.Text)))
End Select
End With
' Write the contents to the file.
' With or without quotation marks around the cell information.
Select Case quotes
Case vbYes
CellText = Chr(34) & CellText & Chr(34) & delimiter
Case vbNo
CellText = CellText & delimiter
End Select
Print #FNum, CellText;
' Update the status bar with the progress.
Application.StatusBar = Format((((RowNum - 1) * TotalCols) _
+ ColNum) / (TotalRows * TotalCols), "0%") & " Completed."
' Loop to the next column.
Next ColNum
' Add a linefeed character at the end of each row.
If RowNum <> TotalRows Then Print #FNum, ""
' Loop to the next row.
Next RowNum
' Close the .prn file.
Close #FNum
' Reset the status bar.
Application.StatusBar = False
WriteFile = "Exported"
End Function
Macro To call function:
Sub ExportText()
Dim delimiter As String
Dim quotes As Integer
Dim Returned As String
delimiter = ""
quotes = MsgBox("¿Información de celda separada por comillas?", vbYesNo)
' Call the WriteFile function passing the delimiter and quotes options.
Returned = WriteFile(delimiter, quotes)
' Print a message box indicating if the process was completed.
Select Case Returned
Case "Canceled"
MsgBox "The export operation was canceled."
Case "Exported"
MsgBox "La información fue exportada"
End Select
End Sub
Thanks in advance
