Writing data from excel to text is complex coding and requires very good knowledge of VBA coding. To use this function, we must specify the current file path as well as the destination file path.
Before I show you the way to write the code, let me explain how to open the text file by using an open statement. Mode: Mode is the control we can have over opening text files.
We can have three types of control over the text file. File Number: This will count the text file number of all the opened text files. This will recognize the opened file numbers in integer values from 1 to Assigning the file number is the tricky one and leads to a lot of confusion. For this, we can use the free File function. Free File returns the unique number for the opened files.
This way, we can assign the unique file number without any kind of duplicate values. To determine which file number we are referring to, declare one more variable as Integer Variable As Integer In VBA, an integer is a data type that may be assigned to any variable and used to hold integer values. In VBA, the bracket for the maximum number of integer variables that can be kept is similar to that in other languages. Using the DIM statement, any variable can be defined as an integer variable.
Watch our Demo Courses and Videos. Understanding the VBA code of writing the text file is quite complex but it is not difficult to understand.
In this example, we will see how to map file location with VBA code to write it over the Text file format. For this, we need a module. Step 1: Go to Insert menu option and select Module as shown below. Step 2: Now, in the opened module, write the subcategory of VBA Write Text or we can choose any name as per our choice. Step 3: In the first step of coding, declare the variable myFile as String as shown below.
Step 4: In the assigned variable put the location of the file which we need to convert from Excel to Text. Here we have named that file as Test with the extension. Step 5: As we have seen in the description of VBA Write Text File, we will first open the excel file and then append the data from Excel to a Text file with below command line.
We have entered some random car brands with model name and specifications. Step 9: Now compile the code and run it by clicking on the Play button located below the menu bar as shown below. If there is no error found, then we would get the message box with the message as Saved as shown below.
Step Now go to the location which we have mentioned in the code above, we will see the text file with the name Test as shown below. Now to check whether this text file has the same data which we have entered through VBA, open it. First, we declare a variable called myFile of type String, an object called rng of type Range, a variable called cellValue of type Variant, a variable called i of type Integer, and a variable called j of type Integer.
We use a Variant variable here because a Variant variable can hold any type of value. Note: the DefaultFilePath property returns the default file path. To change the default file location, on the File tab, click Options, Save. Note: this statement allows the file to be written to.
We can refer to the file as 1 during the rest of our code.
