hi,
I'm trying to create a csv file.
Is there any way to keep the same figures format as in the initial excel file when printing the csv or shall we define the format of every column in the loop(and how)?

Actually in the excel file, some columns contain figures that must be formatted as 0.00000(5decimals mandatory even if zero). But when printing the csv with this loop, the useless ending 0 are deleted...

Below is the current code :
Code:
Sub Export_As_Semicolon_delimited()      Dim objSaveBox As FileDialog     Dim MYFILE As String     Dim r As Long, c As Long          Const DELIMITER = ";"          Sheets("INF").Select      '    ChDrive = "C:\"     ' set default save drive '    ChDir = "C:\Temp"   ' set default save directory (can't change default drive with just this)     Set objSaveBox = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)     With objSaveBox         .InitialFileName = Range("A3") & "_INF_" & Range("C3") & ".csv"         '.FilterIndex = 15         If .Show = -1 Then             MYFILE = .SelectedItems.Item(1)         Else             Exit Sub         End If     End With          'Write cells from A2 to (last row, last column) to a Semicolon delimted text file     FileNum = FreeFile     Open MYFILE For Output As #FileNum     For r = 2 To Range("A2").End(xlDown).Row         For c = 1 To Range("A2").End(xlToRight).Column             Print #FileNum, Cells(r, c).Value & DELIMITER;         Next c         Print #FileNum,     Next r     Close #FileNum          MsgBox "File saved as a Semicolon delimited text file." & _             vbLf & vbLf & MYFILE, , "Save Complete"  End Sub</pre>

thanks

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
There are no formatting allowances in a CSV file. It's a flat text file when you're done, so no formatting needs of any kind are preserved. Ever. To have "formatting", you will need to save to an Excel file format.
