VBA to export dat files from each row of a workbook

[zinizaga]

Hi all, i need help writing a macro that copies specific data from each row of a workbook and puts it into a separate dat file for each row. So far i was able to write something up that only works for the first row(seconf beneath header). How can i modify this to export each row on a separate file - again, having some custom ordering applied same as i do below

Sample data:

Project name	Client	First name	Last name	userid
JHGH	Nike	John	Doe	johnd
VBNM	Coca Cola	Jane	Doe	janed2

<tbody>
</tbody>

Option Explicit

Sub TEST()


Dim fso As Object, opStr As String
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")


Dim Fileout As Object, fPath As String


fPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Data.Range("A2") & "-" & Format(Now, "MM.DD.YYYY") & ".dat"
Set Fileout = fso.CreateTextFile(fPath, True, True)




opStr = "SOME HARDCODED TEXT &" _
& Data.Range("A2") & "|" & Data.Range("B2") & "|" & Data.Range("C2") & "|" & Data.Range("D2")


Fileout.Write opStr


Fileout.Close


MsgBox "Done. File: " & fPath


End Sub

Try this:

Public Sub Create_Dat_Files()

    Dim r As Long, lastRow As Long
    Dim filePath As String
    
    With ActiveSheet
        lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).row
        For r = 2 To lastRow
            filePath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & .Cells(r, "A").Value & "-" & Format(Now, "MM.DD.YYYY") & ".dat"
            Open filePath For Output As [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] 
            Print [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] , "SOME HARDCODED TEXT &" & .Cells(r, "A").Value & "|" & .Cells(r, "B").Value & "|" & .Cells(r, "C").Value & "|" & .Cells(r, "D").Value
            Close [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1[/URL] 
        Next
    End With
    
    MsgBox "Done"
    
End Sub

Based on the original code.

Sub TEST()
Dim rng As Range
Dim FSO As Object
Dim Fileout As Object
Dim fPath As String
Dim opStr As String
    
    Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Set rng = Data.Range("A2")
    Do
        fPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "c:\Test\" & rng.Value & "-" & Format(Now, "MM.DD.YYYY") & ".dat"
    
        Set Fileout = FSO.CreateTextFile(fPath, True, True)

        opStr = "SOME HARDCODED TEXT &" _
            & rng.Value & "|" & rng.Offset(, 1).Value & "|" & rng.Offset(, 2).Value & "|" & rng.Offset(, 3).Value

        Fileout.Write opStr
        
        Fileout.Close

        Set rng = rng.Offset(1)
        
    Loop Until rng.Value = ""

End Sub
