TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter Property

Microsoft Excel Visual Basic

TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter Property

       

True if consecutive delimiters are treated as a single delimiter when you import a text file into a query table. The default value is False. Read/write Boolean.

Remarks

Use this property is only when your query table is based on data from a text file (with the QueryType property set to xlTextImport), and only if the value of the TextFileParseType property is xlDelimited.

Example

This example sets the space character to be the delimiter in the query table on the first worksheet in the first workbook, and then it refreshes the query table. Consecutive spaces are treated as a single delimiter.

Set shFirstQtr = Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1) 
Set qtQtrResults = shFirstQtr.QueryTables _
    .Add(Connection := "TEXT;C:\My Documents\19980331.txt", _
        Destination := shFirstQtr.Cells(1, 1))
With qtQtrResults
    .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
    .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = True
    .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True
    .Refresh
End With
