TextFileTabDelimiter Property

Microsoft Excel Visual Basic

TextFileTabDelimiter Property

       

True if the tab character is the delimiter when you import a text file into a query table. 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), and only if the value of the TextFileParseType property is xlDelimited.

Example

This example sets the tab character to be the delimiter in the query table on the first worksheet in the first workbook, and then it 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
    .TextFileTabDelimiter = True
    .Refresh
End With
