deef99 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have a simple macro in Excel that saves 3 worksheets to 3 tab delimited text files. The xls is a static name and so are the 3 text files so I thought this should be very simple. Can someone please assist? Here is the Excel Macro: ChDir "G:\CallCenter_downloads\DailyDIG" Sheets("Pre_Activated_1").Select ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="G:\CallCenter_downloads\DailyDIG\PreA.txt", _ FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False Sheets("Just_Activated_2").Select ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="G:\CallCenter_downloads\DailyDIG\JustA.txt" _ , FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False Sheets("Changed_while_Active_4").Select ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="G:\CallCenter_downloads\DailyDIG\CwA.txt" _ , FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS IS WHAT I HAVE SO FAR: global $oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen("\\baardfiles\common\CallCenter_downloads\DailyDIG\DIG_Midday.xls") _ExcelSheetActivate($oExcel, "Pre-activation_1") ... and then I'm completely lost!

water Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Use _ExcelReadSheetToArray to read the sheet into a 2D array and then loop through the array and save the data to the files.

Reg2Post Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Using the Excel.au3 UDF: $oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen("baardfilescommonCallCenter_downloadsDailyDIGDIG_Midday.xls") _ExcelSheetActivate($oExcel, "Pre-activation_1") _ExcelBookSaveAs($oExcel, G:CallCenter_downloadsDailyDIGPreA.txt, "txt") _ExcelSheetActivate($oExcel, "Just_Activated_2") _ExcelBookSaveAs($oExcel, G:CallCenter_downloadsDailyDIGJustA.txt, "txt") _ExcelSheetActivate($oExcel, "Changed_while_Active_4") _ExcelBookSaveAs($oExcel, G:CallCenter_downloadsDailyDIGCwA.txt, "txt") Close the workbook manually or append _ExcelBookClose() to above.

deef99 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 This is what I have....it seems to run without error, but no txt files are getting created. I even tried opening the workbook first, but it doesn't seem like it's doing anything. Did I miss something?#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=G:CallCenter_downloadsDailyDIGexceldig.exe#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****#include <Excel.au3>#include <String.au3>$oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen("baardfiles01commonCallCenter_downloadsDailyDIGDIG_Midday.xls")_ExcelSheetActivate($oExcel, "Pre-activation_1")_ExcelBookSaveAs($oExcel,"baardfiles01commonCallCenter_downloadsDailyDIGPreA.txt", "txt")_ExcelSheetActivate($oExcel, "Just_Activated_2")_ExcelBookSaveAs($oExcel,"baardfiles01commonCallCenter_downloadsDailyDIGJustA.txt", "txt")_ExcelSheetActivate($oExcel, "Changed_while_Active_4")_ExcelBookSaveAs($oExcel,"baardfiles01commonCallCenter_downloadsDailyDIGCwA.txt", "txt")_ExcelBookClose($oExcel, 1, 0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 You should do some error checking after every operation, see if any errors are returned, and what the errors might be. That will help figure it out. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Reg2Post Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 @OP: Check your output paths. You have different shared folder paths from your latest code and your original post. Try saving to a local path to test script functionality. Such as: _ExcelBookSaveAs($oExcel,@scriptdir & "CwA.txt", "txt") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
