VBA Importing Text File To Excel

[Hobolord]

Hello,

I am using Excel 2013, Windows 7, on a PC.

I am attempting to have my code import a text file to excel. This should be very simple. I used the recorder, but the code is bugging on the

.Commandtype = 0

line, and if I remove that, it doesn't import any data either.

My code matches all code I'm able to find via Google. Someone please help .

Code:

Dim filepath    As String

filepath = InputBox("Please enter the filepath for the audit report .txt file" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "For example: 'C:\Users\cbs1715\Desktop\Audit Report 09282016.txt'", "Enter Filepath")

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        "TEXT;" & filepath, Destination:=Range _
        ("$A$1"))
        .Commandtype = 0
        .name = "Audit Report"
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
        .TextFilePlatform = 437
        .TextFileStartRow = 1
        .TextFileParseType = xlFixedWidth
        .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
        .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True
        .TextFileTabDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
        .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = True
        .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
        .TextFileFixedColumnWidths = Array(17, 13, 17, 16, 27, 5, 4)
        .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With

try this on a sample workbook:

Sub hobolord()
Dim filepath    As String

filepath = InputBox("Please enter the filepath for the audit report .txt file" & vbNewLine & _
                    vbNewLine & _
                    "For example: " & Environ("UserProfile") & "\Desktop\Audit Report 09282016.txt'", "Enter Filepath")

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        "TEXT;" & filepath, Destination:=Range _
        ("$A$1"))
        '.CommandType = 0
        .Name = "Audit Report"
        .FieldNames = True
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = Null
        .TextFilePlatform = 437
        .TextFileStartRow = 1
        .TextFileParseType = xlFixedWidth
        .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
        .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True
        .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = True
        .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
        .TextFileFixedColumnWidths = Array(17, 13, 17, 16, 27, 5, 4)
        .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
    End With
End Sub

If that still presents some problems then try using

.CommandType = xlText
