Hi Guys,

I'm new to Excel with regards to Macros/VBA and hence need help to create a TXT file from the contents in a XLSM file.

The user enters the information in an XLSM file as follows:

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"]Company Name:[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]CarSalesPtyLtd[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"]Code:[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]CSPL04[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]VEHICLE NUMBER[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]MAKE[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]MODEL[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]YEAR[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]COLOUR[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]ABC123[/TD]
[TD]TOYOTA[/TD]
[TD]HILUX[/TD]
[TD]2000[/TD]
[TD]WHITE[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]DEF456[/TD]
[TD]FORD[/TD]
[TD]FOCUS[/TD]
[TD]1998[/TD]
[TD]RED[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]GHI789[/TD]
[TD]MERCEDES[/TD]
[TD]SLK GTR[/TD]
[TD]2011[/TD]
[TD]GREY[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]JKL012[/TD]
[TD]TOYOTA[/TD]
[TD]CAMRY[/TD]
[TD]2013[/TD]
[TD]BLACK[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]PQR678[/TD]
[TD]NISSAN[/TD]
[TD]SKYLINE[/TD]
[TD]1999[/TD]
[TD]WHITE[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]












Once done, the user clicks on a button which should create a TXT file as follows:
CarSalesPtyLtd
CSPL04​
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS Start
Vehicle, 1, ABC123, TOYOTA, HILUX, 2000, WHITE
Vehicle, 2, DEF456, FORD, FOCUS, 1998, RED
Vehicle, 3, GHI789, MERCEDES, SLK GTR, 2011, GREY
Vehicle, 4, JKL012, TOYOTA, CAMRY, 2013, BLACK
Vehicle, 5, PQR678, NISSAN, SKYLINE, 1999, WHITE
CarSales​
PtyLtd
CSPL04​
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS End




Also, once the user clicks the button, is it possible to save the TXT file with a filename from the cell contents, but prompt the user for the save location?

For instance, save the above TXT file as "
CarSalesPtyLtd-CSPL04.TXT"
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
VJ​

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
Not sure why the above text is aligned like that... looked fine in the editor!

Anyway, this how the TXT file should appear:

CarSalesPtyLtd, CSPL04, YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, Start
Vehicle, 1, ABC123, TOYOTA, HILUX, 2000, WHITE
Vehicle, 2, DEF456, FORD, FOCUS, 1998, RED
Vehicle, 3, GHI789, MERCEDES, SLK GTR, 2011, GREY
Vehicle, 4, JKL012, TOYOTA, CAMRY, 2013, BLACK
Vehicle, 5, PQR678, NISSAN, SKYLINE, 1999, WHITE
CarSalesPtyLtd, CSPL04, YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, End

Thanks again!
VJ
