    Import Multiple text rows to one row in Excel

    I have a text file in notepad with 4 rows for each set of data. Is there a way for me to get the data all into 1 row in the text file or all into 1 row in excel.

    Thanks

    It's only 4 rows, open the text file in Excel, then just copy the rows, sounds like 10 seconds work.

    Re: Import Multiple text rows to one row in Excel

    So your question is really:

    "How can I import 1000s of text files into a single Excel sheet with the 4 rows of data in each file stacked neatly under each other?"


    Click GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to post up a desensitized copy of two of these text files. Also upload a sample Excel sheet showing these two data sets imported and displaying the way you want.

    I have a macro I can tweak for you for this task. Is VBA ok?

    Do you mean you have one text file with thousands of records, but 4 rows per record?

    Thanks for clarifying Jerry, you are correct. I have a passing knowledge of VBA let's give it a go.

    Thanks again.

    What's correct? Please upload 2-3 of these 1000s of text files as requested along with an Excel example of how the samples would look after importing.

    Click GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to post up a desensitized copy of your workbook.
