Hello, I just began my adventure with VBA and I need it to ease my job a lot- i have a .txt file with data divided by semicolons and an already made excel spreadsheet.
Is there any way to import the data from the file directly to the excel form (not a new one)?
In addition, can it add rows according to the data given?

The txt file looks like this:
Place1; 62; 27.1382; N; 004; 53.9129; E; 273.3; 2.3; 500.0; 500.0; ; ; 0.0; ; ; 0.0; 00:00 W; 0.0
Place2; 62; 30.7312; N; 004; 40.4700; E; 300.1; 7.2; 900.0; 800.0; ; ; 0.0; ; ; 0.0; 00:00 W; 0.0
Place3 .......

There is no need for deleting any rows, some just are empty.
Pretty much i want to use a macro and fill a table.
Thanks for any help :)

I you should use powerquery much simpler than a macro and don't need to save the file as a macro enabled, go to Data/From Text/CSV then transform data, in the powerquery window you can easily filter out any empty rows, then "close and load to" and you can select a table. is pretty easy to use just with the user interface, no code needed
