Convert .csv file into Excel in VBScript

问题:

I'm writing a program to convert a .csv file into an Excel file in VBScript.

This is the portion of my .csv file (It has a header as well)

Report Title,Goods Performance Characteristics Report,,Report Title,Goods Performance Characteristics Report,,,,,,, Begin Date,8/7/2012,,,,,,,,,, Template Name,XXXX-Test-VVV-Two-Positions,,,,,,,,,, Total Productions,,,,,,,,,,,

,ID,Name,Product Description,Issue Date,Product Type,Weight (kg),Weight (lb),Price,Product volume, Profit,Total Value (000) ,315616102,Lux Honey,Body Wash,8/1/2012,C,0.06,0.06,93,793920,0,7455703038 ,579780206,Clear AntiDandruf,Shampoo,8/1/2012,C,0.06,0.06,60.5,1325980,2.05,8022179000 ,761713106,Loreal Divine,Face Crub,8/1/2012,F,0.12,0.12,46.52,3314780,5.07,15420356560

This is the updated VBScript code I wrote for the conversion.

Dim xlApp, workBook1, workBook2,aSheets, fileName, aInfo2,aInfo1,oExcel
  Const XlPlatform = "xlWindows"
  Const xlDelimited = 1
  Const xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote = 1
  Const xlTextFormat = 2
  Const xlGeneralFormat = 1


  Set oExcel = Sys.OleObject("Excel.Application")  
  Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")  

  Set workBook1 = xlApp.ActiveWorkBook

  Set workBook1 = xlApp.WorkBooks.OpenText("Y:\Personal Folders\XXXX\TestFile1.csv",XlPlatform, 1, xlDelimited, xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote, true, false, false, true, false, true, "CRLF", Array(Array (1,2),Array (2,2),Array (3,2),Array (4,1),Array (5,2),Array (6,1),Array (7,1),Array (8,1),Array (9,1),Array (10,1),Array (11,1)), true, false)

  Set workBook1 = xlApp.ActiveWorkBook
  xlApp.Visible = true

  workBook1.Save "Y:\Personal Folders\XXXX\x.xlsx", xlNormal
  workBook1.Close

But the data is not in a tabular form in the Excel file.I want to display the data in a tabular form.

Could anyone please help me to extract data based on the delimeters.I need the header part in the excel file as well.

Thanks in advance

There are several issues with the code from your updated question:

• Const XlPlatform = "xlWindows"

  XlPlatform must be a numeric value, not a string. The xlWindows member of the enumeration has the value 2. However, since that's the default anyway, you can simply omit this value when calling OpenText.

• Set workBook1 = xlApp.ActiveWorkBook

  A newly spawned Excel instance doesn't have an active workbook, so it's pointless to assign that to a variable before you actually open or create a workbook.

• Set workBook1 = xlApp.WorkBooks.OpenText(...)

  The OpenText method does not return an object, so there's nothing to assign in the above statement.

• ...ooks.OpenText(..., true, "CRLF", ...)

  The string "CRLF" is not a character. Why do you want to specify line-breaks as separator-characters anyway?

• ..., Array(...), true, false)

  The last 2 parameters you specified are TextVisualLayout (specifies left-to-rigt/right-to-left) and DecimalSeparator. Both of them are not boolean values. Simply omit them if you don't know for certain that you need them.

• workBook1.Save "Y:\Personal Folders\XXXX\x.xlsx", xlNormal

  The Save method saves a workbook under its current name. To save a workbook under a different name you must use the SaveAs method. The constant xlNormal isn't defined anywhere in your code. Plus, xlNormal produces an Excel 97/2003 workbook (.xls). To save a workbook as an Excel 2007/2010 workbook (.xlsx) you must use the xlOpenXMLWorkbook constant.

The following code worked for me:

Const xlDelimited                =  1
Const xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote =  1
Const xlOpenXMLWorkbook          = 51

Set xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

xl.Workbooks.OpenText "Y:\Personal Folders\XXXX\TestFile1.csv", , , xlDelimited _
  , xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote, True, False, False, True, False, False, _
  , Array(Array(1,2), Array(2,2), Array(3,2), Array(4,1), Array(5,2) _
  , Array(6,1), Array(7,1), Array(8,1), Array(9,1), Array(10,1), Array(11,1))
Set wb = xl.ActiveWorkbook

wb.SaveAs "Y:\Personal Folders\XXXX\x.xlsx", xlOpenXMLWorkbook, , , , False
wb.Close

xl.Quit

I'm using Excel 2003.The following is a code I got to specify the .csv file format

Set xl = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Set wb = xl.Workbooks.OpenText "input.csv", , , xlDelimited, xlDoubleQuote, _
  False, False, True, , , , dataTypes

from Vbscript to import csv into excel

Could you please explain the function of the following line?

Set wb = xl.Workbooks.OpenText "input.csv", , , xlDelimited, xlDoubleQuote, _
      False, False, True, , , , dataTypes

My implementation of the OpenText property for the above mentioned .csv file

Set workBook1 = xlApp.WorkBooks.OpenText("D:\Personal Folders\XXXX\TestFile1.csv", , ,xlDelimited, ,false ,false ,false ,True,false ,false ,"~")

You need to specify what Format you are saving as. The following will specify it as a standard .xls for 2003

    Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
    "D:\Personal Folders\XXXXX\TestFile1.csv"

    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
    "D:\Personal Folders\XXXXX\x.xls", FileFormat:=xlNormal

    ActiveWorkbook.Close

Also can try

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
    "D:\Personal Folders\XXXXX\x.xls", FileFormat:= 56
