The question:
I want to change 191023 automatically with other number,example 191024
and that other number its get from cells,example sheets A1
so the value of 191042 can change according from user.
Try this:
Dim sNumber as String
sNumber = CStr(Sheets(2).Range("A1").Value) ' declare yourown address
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;E:\DANDY\FBI\ATM\Prima\ATM\1.Transaksi\Data Mentah\**" & sNumber & "**RP\" & sNumber & "B1S-RAW.txt", Destination:=Range("$A$1") _

Here is a flowchart of what I am trying to accomplish:
I have a list of cities:
Tokyo
Delhi
Shanghai
Sao+Paulo
Mexico+City
Cairo
Mumbai
Beijing
Dhaka
Osaka
Each of these cities has three .txt files pertaining to each in this format:
PopulationFile{}.txt
LocationFile{}.txt
CityFile{}.txt
Here is the complete list of files that are in the same folder:
PopulationFileTokyo?.txt
PopulationFileBeijing?.txt
PopulationFileCairo?.txt
PopulationFileDelhi?.txt
PopulationFileDhaka?.txt
PopulationFileMexico+City?.txt
PopulationFileMumbai?.txt
PopulationFileOsaka.txt
PopulationFileSao+Paulo?.txt
PopulationFileShanghai?.txt
LocationFileTokyo?.txt
LocationFileShanghai?.txt
LocationFileSao+Paulo?.txt
LocationFileOsaka.txt
LocationFileMumbai?.txt
LocationFileMexico+City?.txt
LocationFileDhaka?.txt
LocationFileDelhi?.txt
LocationFileCairo?.txt
LocationFileBeijing?.txt
CityFileTokyo?.txt
CityFileShanghai?.txt
CityFileSao+Paulo?.txt
CityFileOsaka.txt
CityFileMumbai?.txt
CityFileMexico+City?.txt
CityFileDhaka?.txt
CityFileDelhi?.txt
CityFileCairo?.txt
CityFileBeijing?.txt
Here's the goal:
Create sheets based on a list of values (in this case being Cities)
Use a range to iterate through specific file names (an example being PopulationFileTokyo.txt, then LocationFileTokyo.txt, CityFileTokyo.txt) to paste to Column 1, Column 2, and Column 3 on the {Cities} sheet (example Sheetname: Tokyo)
Loop insert .txt file data process for each city
Using a new Workbook, I want to automate this process. I want to
define the city list in VBA,
then, instruct VBA to create sheets based on this list of cities,
next, iterate through these sheets pasting the three relevant files for each city in the first three columns
The script should insert the city name from Cities into the file path/name to correctly insert relevant files to the relevant sheets (as shown after the 'Insert .txt files into columns' box in the flowchart)
Only the file name in the file path needs to be edited as all of these files are in the folder
Here is a Macro I created showing manual steps of this process (creating three sheets, then going back and inserting the relevant files):

Finally, the outcome should be 10 sheets named [Cities] with Column 1 containing PopulationFile{Cities}.txt, Column 2 containing LocationFile{Cities}.txt, and Column 3 containing CityFile{Cities}.txt. 30 .txt files should be imported into their proper sheets in the end.
Here is Python code that executes creating these files with the content written inside:
Cities.txt
Tokyo
Delhi
Shanghai
Sao+Paulo
Mexico+City
Cairo
Mumbai
Beijing
Dhaka
Osaka
readNames = open('Cities.txt', 'r').readlines()
print(readNames)
for i in readNames:
open('PopulationFile{}.txt'.format(i), 'w').write('Pop1\nPop2\nPop3')
open('LocationFile{}.txt'.format(i), 'w').write('Loc1\nLoc2\nLoc3')
open('CityFile{}.txt'.format(i), 'w').write('City1\nCity2\nCity3')
If any other information is needed or further clarification please ask!
Please, test the next code. But take care to eliminate the strange character from the end of the files name (a question mark in the text you show, and Chr(10) in your code, which is not allowed. A file name placed on two lines is not allowed by Windows...). So, PopulationFileTokyo?.txt should become PopulationFileTokyo.txt and so on. And read carefully the code lines comments before running it:
Sub testPopulateCities()
Dim wb As Workbook, foldPath As String, fileName As String, arrTxt
Dim arrC, cit, arrCol, cl, colNo As Long, sheetN As String, i As Long
'fill the cities array:
arrC = Split("Tokyo,Delhi,Shanghai,Sao+Paulo,Mexico+City,Cairo,Mumbai,Beijing,Dhaka,Osaka", ",")
arrCol = Split("Population,Location,City", ",") 'array of prefixes with meaning related to the insertion column
Set wb = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet) 'create a new workbook with a single sheet
'insert the necessary sheets and naming them according to arrC array elements:
For Each cit In arrC
i = i + 1
If i = 1 Then
wb.Sheets(i).Name = cit 'name the first sheet
Else
wb.Sheets.Add(After:=wb.Sheets(wb.Sheets.Count)).Name = cit 'insert and name the following sheets
End If
Next cit
foldPath = "C:\Users\RealName\PycharmProjects\pythonProject7\" 'The folder path where the text files exist. Take care of its ending backslash (\)!!!
fileName = dir(foldPath & "*.txt") 'determine the first file in the folder
Do While fileName <> ""
For Each cl In arrCol 'iterate between the array elements
If InStr(fileName, cl) > 0 Then 'if the element exists in the file name:
colNo = Application.match(cl, arrCol, 0) 'column where to insert data
sheetN = Split(fileName, ".")(0)
sheetN = Right(sheetN, Len(sheetN) - (Len(cl) + 4)) 'sheet name to insert data
Exit For
End If
Next
'place the text file content in an array, split by vbCrLf (Carriage return - linefeed combination):
arrTxt = Split(CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(foldPath & fileName, 1).ReadAll, vbCrLf)
wb.Sheets(sheetN).cells(2, colNo).Resize(UBound(arrTxt) + 1, 1) = Application.Transpose(arrTxt) ' drop the array content
fileName = dir() 'continue the iteration between files

I have a text file, I imported it into excel thanks to vba now I would like to remove the first column and the first 9 rows. You think it's possible to do that by rewriting the following code
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & fpath & "\" & ffilename, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "text"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 850
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileOtherDelimiter = "|"
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
You can add after that statement something to delete the ranges you want
With ActiveSheet
.Columns(1).EntireColumn.Delete 'delete first column
.Rows("1:9").EntireRow.Delete 'delete first 9 rows
End With

I have been following a thread else where that showed me how to use Query Tables in the VBA editor to import a .txt file from a specific path into a worksheet.
The code is as follows:
Sub Sample()
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\Sample.txt", Destination:=Range("$A$1") _
)
.Name = "Sample"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False

I have tried to modify the code so that instead of having to hardcode the path each time, instead a user is prompted for the path with an InputBox that stores the path as a string in a variable, then that variable is called upon instead of the path.
I keep getting errors regarding the .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False line.
Here is my modified code below.
Option Explicit
Sub importEXP()
Dim txtloc As String
txtloc = InputBox("Provide path of .txt file to analyze")
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;textloc", destination:=Range("$A$1"))

Any help is appreciated,
Thank You
Change
Connection:="TEXT;textloc"
to
Connection:="TEXT;" & textloc
You need to replace the line:
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;textloc", destination:=Range("$A$1"))
With:
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & textloc, destination:=Range("$A$1"))
Double quotes in VBA don't expand variables (like you can do in PowerShell and Perl); you have to explicitly concatenate.
You need to change
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;textloc", destination:=Range("$A$1"))
to
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & textloc, destination:=Range("$A$1"))
textloc is a variable so it mustn't be placed inside the quotes.
I am able to import one text file into Excel using below code.

How do I alter it to import 4 different text files in a way that the files are imported into a single sheet with all the data aligned in following order
File 1 data
file 2 data
File 3 data
file 4 data
Means file 2 data should start where the file 1 data ends.
File 1 data may vary. So I do not know the starting range of the file 2 data.
What should be the Destination:=Range("$A$2")?
You can use GetOpenFilename excel property like this:
Sub Sample()
Dim myfiles
Dim i As Integer
myfiles = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="CSV Files (*.csv), *.csv", MultiSelect:=True)
If Not IsEmpty(myfiles) Then
For i = LBound(myfiles) To UBound(myfiles)
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & myfiles(i), Destination:=Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0))
.Name = "Sample"
.FieldNames = False
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = True
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Next i
Else
MsgBox "No File Selected"
End If
End Sub
Hope this works for you.
