TXT connectivity issue - excel

I Have recoded a code using the Record button.
Basically, I need to remove all special characters using 65001 in File Origin.
I have run a script that converts the .txt in 65001 formats and applies Text to columns as well. Because I need to open .txt data in an excel file
But the problem is the script is run perfectly fine for the 1st TXT file but But for the remaining .txt Text to column function doesn't apply.
Str = "TEXT;" & myFile
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=Str, destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "UK"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 65001
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, _
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=True
End With
I don't know the exact issue. Please find the attahced image as well the formating of 1st and the remainging txt data in excel file.
As you can see in 1st image there is noting after the heading "Letest deleivery date". But for the remain format there are data not perfectly extracted from txt to excel.
Please check and let me know the reason.

Since you're always adding a new querytable, try removing any existing ones first.
Dim Str
Str = "TEXT;C:\Tester\tmp.txt"
'remove any existing querytable(s) and clear associated range
Do While ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Count > 0
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables(1)
Debug.Print "Clearing querytable at ", .ResultRange.Address
.ResultRange.Clear
.Delete
End With
Loop
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=Str, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "UK"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells 'this is better I think
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 65001

.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, _
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

Visual Basic: Importing multiple textfiles into multiple sheets

All data is stored in text files. I have multiple of these files and I want to import each in a new sheet that bears the name of the file.
I recorded a macro so that it imports the data to the correct specifications. Afterwards, I added the part where it repeats this process for every file in the directory.
The result of my code is that it creates a new sheet with the correct name for each file, but the sheets are empty.
Sub ImportTextfiles()
Dim folderName As String, filePathName As String, FileName As String
folderName = "C:\Users\MyName\Documents\MultipleFiles\"
FileName = Dir(folderName, vbNormal)
While FileName <> ""
filePathName = folderName & FileName
Sheets.Add.Name = FileName
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & filePathName, _
Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = FileName
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True

You were very close. Recording macros is an excellent way to start learning to script your own custom functions. In this case, you were not using the new worksheet you were adding. So add the new sheet, correctly name it, then use that sheet to import the data.
Option Explicit
Sub ExtDataToSheets()
Dim fnames() As String
Dim fname As Variant
Dim fullpath As String
Dim newSh As Worksheet
fnames = Split("file1.txt,file2.txt,file3.txt", ",")
For Each fname In fnames
fullpath = Application.Path & fname
Set newSh = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
newSh.Name = fname
With newSh.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;C:\Temp\SampleData.csv", _
Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "SampleData"
.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 = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False

.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False

Import CSV files into Excel

I would like to ask for your help with the following:
I have CSV files exported from a software application that I need imported in Excel to analyse the data. Daily are generated 40-50 CSVs. For now I do this manually through "Get External Data from Text". The code recorded during the import is:
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;SYSTEM:Users:catalin:Documents:LINELLA:WH Analytics:data:pick 01-18:050:Inquiry closed lists SKU_0142.csv" _
, Destination:=Range("A1704"))
.Name = "Inquiry closed lists SKU_0142"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = xlMacintosh
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileOtherDelimiter = ";"
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
.UseListObject = False
End With
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
Range("A1710").Select
I want to be able to import automatically all CSV files from a selected folder where I'll put new files and launch the import process. Each file should be inserted immediately after last row of the previous files.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Put the code you recorded in a function, replacing the static file name with a variable, then call that function for each *.csv file in the folder. The get the example below to work you need to save a file with this macro in the same folder as the csv files. For my quick test I had to replace the separator from ; to ,, and to remove the last row .UseListObject = False.
Sub ImportAllCSV()
Dim FName As Variant, R As Long
R = 1
FName = Dir("*.csv")
Do While FName <> ""
ImportCsvFile FName, ActiveSheet.Cells(R, 1)
R = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1
FName = Dir
Loop
End Sub
Sub ImportCsvFile(FileName As Variant, Position As Range)
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & FileName _
, Destination:=Position)
.Name = Replace(FileName, ".csv", "")
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = xlMacintosh
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileOtherDelimiter = ","
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

Excel 2007, VBA import new .csv files to update existing tab

I've just been acquainting myself with the VBA language and would appreciate any help. I'm trying to write a program that updates an existing tab with a new file.
Here's what I have so far:
Sub ImportFile()
'
' ImportFile Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+I
' Clears active sheet
Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
' "Open" prompt window
Dim aFile As String
aFile = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Comma separated values files, *.csv")
If aFile = "False" Then Exit Sub
' Import .csv file to active sheet
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\Users\jiarui.hou.THRUBIT\Desktop\thrubit\data\PS25R_175c_20110711_proc1.csv" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "PS25R_175c_20110711_proc1"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, _
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub
But the problem is in the first two lines of the third part, it directs to a specific file. But I want the program to import ANY file that I had specifically selected. I guess what I'm asking is how do I link the second part which prompts a window to open a file, to the third part which links that directory address in place of the current SPECIFIC directory address.
Use the concatenation operator & and make the string that you pass to connection be "TEXT;" & aFile
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= "TEXT;" & aFile, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
Also, I think instead of "False" you want False on the 7th line.
