    VBA script to import text data in the first empty column of a range

    Hello to all of you,
    I created a VBA script to import a text file in a specif spreadsheet columns range (AK5:AR44) and I would like to make it more efficient with following modifications for which I may need your help:

    Use as Destination:=Range the first empty column in the predefined range
    Create a sort of loop, after each file is imported, using a pop up window, user should be able to decide whether to import another file to the first new empty column or to stop the import.
    Below the code I have create until now, unfortunalety I wasn't able to add a sort of dynamic destination for the newly imported data.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Re: VBA script to import text data in the first empty column of a range

    Hello protonLeah,
    thanks a lot for your reply and sorry for my very late feedback but I had time only today to look a that issue.
    I modified the script according to your suggestion and I have one question concerning the range setup.
    Assuming my range to import the data is AB5:AQ5 the script should be like

    Set DestColumn = Range("AB5:AQ5").End(xlToLeft).Offset(ColumnOffset:=1)

    If yes, this does not work as expected, the first file is imported correctly but the second one is causing another column creation messing up the column order.
    Thanks.
