TextFileSemicolonDelimiter Property

Microsoft Excel Visual Basic

TextFileSemicolonDelimiter Property

       

True if the semicolon is the delimiter when you import a text file into a query table, and if the value of the TextFileParseType property is xlDelimited. The default value is False. Read/write Boolean.

Remarks

Use this property only when your query table is based on data from a text file (with the QueryType property set to xlTextImport).

Example

This example sets the semicolon to be the delimiter in the query table on the first worksheet in the first workbook and then refreshes the query table.

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
    .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = True
    .Refresh
End With
