    csv table download from URL wit sporadic problem with comma delimiter

    Hi
    I have been trying to automate a csv table download into excel from a url (US Treasury) which works when done manually and was working for a while using the below VBA. Now however, it has decided that it doesn't want to recognise the comma delimiter and is dumping everything into just the one column. The code and url are included below and I would very much appreciate anyone who might point out where I may have erred, as I'm currently flummoxed on what I original thought was a relatively simple script!

    Hi
    are you still using XL2010 ? If not please amend your profile accordingly.
    This being said, wouldn't it be easier to achieve using Power Query ? I can't help for the moment, but it's worth looking into.

    Since the URL is being fetched from a cell, we can't see it. Attach the sample with the code.

    Re: csv table download from URL wit sporadic problem with comma delimiter

    I think I have identified the underlying problem, but not the solution.
    The problem seems to be that the output cell is on A2, so that I can include formulas on row 1 to reformat the header on the downloaded csv table. If I do not populate Row 1, then the script works ok in both downloading and sorting to csv table. However, when I include the formulas on Row 1, that is when I get the error.
