Export straight table to txt just as it is macro

Hello Community,

I have a straight table:

What i want to do is to export this table to txt so the output will look like this:

taxonomy;measure;dimension;index;period;value

"F";"FBN01006";"FDWA000:FDWA002";;E;"0"

"F";"FBN01016";"FDWA000:FDWA002";;E;"0"

"F";"FBN01002";"FDWA000:FDWA002";;E;"26 105 178"

"F";"FBN01003";"FDWA000:FDWA002";;E;"26 105 178"

"F";"FBN01004";"FDWA000:FDWA002";;E;"26 105 178"

"F";"FBN01006";"FDWA000:FDWA025";;E;"0"

"F";"FBN01016";"FDWA000:FDWA025";;E;"0"

"F";"FBN01002";"FDWA000:FDWA025";;E;"26 105 178"

"F";"FBN01003";"FDWA000:FDWA025";;E;"26 105 178"

"F";"FBN01004";"FDWA000:FDWA025";;E;"26 105 178"

The problems i've encountered so fare are:

- addnig extra qoutes - for example "F" in my output is """F"""

- adding extras spaces - for emaple "F";"FBN01006";"FDWA000:FDWA002";;E;"0" is "F"     ;     "FBN01006"     ;     "FDWA000:FDWA002"     ;     ;     E     ;"0"

To export i'm using macro:

Sub Test

XLSFile = "e:\pulpit\Nowy SIZ\Nowe\test.xls"

TXTFile= "e:\pulpit\Nowy SIZ\Nowe\test.txt"

Set objExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Set objExcelDoc = objExcelApp.Workbooks.Add

set xlSheet = objExcelDoc.Sheets("Arkusz1")

ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("CH07").CopyTableToClipboard true

xlSheet.Range("A1").Select

xlSheet.Paste

objExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = false

objExcelDoc.SaveAs XLSFile        

objExcelDoc.SaveAs TXTFile, -4158

objExcelDoc.Close

objExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = true

End Sub

I've also tried to use Export option of Straight Table but results weren't satisfying.

Marcus, I modified your macro and now it works like charm.

sub CSVEportWithQuotes

set table = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject( "CH07" )

for RowIter = 0 to table.GetRowCount-1

    for ColIter =0 to table.GetColumnCount-1

        set cell = table.GetCell(RowIter,ColIter)

        if ColIter < table.GetColumnCount-1 then vDelimiter = ";" else: vDelimiter = ""

        vContent = vContent  & cell.Text  & vDelimiter

    next

    vContent = vContent & chr(10)

next

msgbox vContent

set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

set File = fso.OpenTextFile("e:\NoweTest.csv", 2, true)

File.Writeline vContent

File.Close

end sub

Thank you.

Can you just use the store into option? *Edit* I guess this assumes your data is in a data model table though 😕

Store Table1 into Table1.txt (TXT, delimiter is ';');

Marcus, the result of your macro is:

"taxonomy",";","measure",";","dimension",";","index",";","period",";","value"

""F"",";",""FBN01006"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA002"",";","",";","E",";",""0""

""F"",";",""FBN01016"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA002"",";","",";","E",";",""0""

""F"",";",""FBN01002"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA002"",";","",";","E",";",""26 105 178""

""F"",";",""FBN01003"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA002"",";","",";","E",";",""26 105 178""

""F"",";",""FBN01004"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA002"",";","",";","E",";",""26 105 178""

""F"",";",""FBN01006"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA025"",";","",";","E",";",""0""

""F"",";",""FBN01016"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA025"",";","",";","E",";",""0""

""F"",";",""FBN01002"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA025"",";","",";","E",";",""26 105 178""

""F"",";",""FBN01003"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA025"",";","",";","E",";",""26 105 178""

""F"",";",""FBN01004"",";",""FDWA000:FDWA025"",";","",";","E",";",""26 105 178""

In your solution the problem for me is:

1) for example ""F"" - should be "F", ""FBN01006"" - should be "FBN01006"

2) another delimiter - ,

3) delimiter is ";" - should be ;

4) column names "taxonomy" - should be taxonomy.

Oops Sorry, I didn't realize that you got it already.

This solution does not seem to work from the AccessPoint. It works from the Qlikview application. Anyone know how to get it working from Accesspoint?
