VBA Help creating a .txt file - Issue with 0's and decimals

[jakerogers77]

Hello,

I recently created a macro to create a pipe delimited file from a large spreadsheet. The system that processes the .txt file cannot handle 0's in any cells, but it can handle it if there are decimals (i.e. 0.0). Changing the format of the amounts in the spreadsheet to have decimals doesn't fix the issue as it still prints to the text file as just 0. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to circumvent this? Would greatly appreciate any help!

---------------
Sub ExportPipe2()

Dim UsedRows As Long
Dim UsedColumns As Long
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim StartTime As Double
Dim MinutesElapsed As String

'Open txt file
Open "C:\pipedexport.csv" For Output As #1


'Print to text file
With ActiveSheet

UsedRows = Selection.Rows.Count
UsedColumns = Selection.Columns.Count


For i = 1 To UsedRows
For j = 1 To UsedColumns - 1
Print #1 , .Cells(i, j); "|";
Next j
Print #1 , .Cells(i, UsedColumns)
Next i
End With

Close #1

'Notify
MsgBox "Done"


End Sub

Thank you.

You would need to have all values set as text before outputting to the TXT file.
However, you might end up with an issue of quotation marks in the file.
