How to Read a Text File into Excel Using VBA: An Easy Guide

Transforming text files into structured Excel data can be a daunting task, especially if you're not familiar with programming. If you have a text file containing multiple records separated by commas, processing this data into Excel format can seem overwhelming. This guide will help you understand how to read a text file using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and output the data into Excel efficiently.

Understanding the Problem

You may have a text file that looks something like this:

The Solution: Using VBA to Read the Text File

The following VBA code will read the text file, split the lines based on commas, and place the results into an Excel worksheet.

Step-by-Step Breakdown of the Code

Set Up the Environment: The code starts by defining the necessary variables and initializing the file system object to interact with the text file.

Reading the File: It opens the text file and uses Split to break the contents into an array based on a line separator.

Processing Each Record: A loop iterates through the file contents, collecting groups of lines and processing them until a blank line suggests the end of a record.

Structuring the Output:

Each line is split again using the specified delimiter (in this case, a comma).

The final values are stored in a temporary array and then written to the active Excel sheet.

Final Touches: The last part of the code formats the output for better readability by auto-fitting columns and adding headers.

Here’s the refined VBA code you can use:
