Import text file data into excel using excel macro without removing preceding zero's from the cells in excel












0















I have this code for importing text file data into excel.



While importing I want to set number format to text. Using this code I am not able to do this. It is removing preceding zero's from the cells in excel.



I want prevent from removing preceding zero's through this code only.



Sub Test()
Dim xWb As Workbook
Dim xToBook As Workbook
Dim xStrPath As String
Dim xformat As Object
Dim xFileDialog As FileDialog
Dim xFile As String
Dim xFiles As New Collection
Dim I As Long
Set xFileDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
xFileDialog.AllowMultiSelect = False
xFileDialog.Title = "Select a folder [Kutools for Excel]"
If xFileDialog.Show = -1 Then
xStrPath = xFileDialog.SelectedItems(1)
End If
If xStrPath = "" Then Exit Sub
If Right(xStrPath, 1) <> "" Then xStrPath = xStrPath & ""
xFile = Dir(xStrPath & "*.txt")
If xFile = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found", vbInformation, "Kutools for Excel"
Exit Sub
End If
Do While xFile <> ""
xFiles.Add xFile, xFile
xFile = Dir()
Loop
Set xToBook = ThisWorkbook
If xFiles.Count > 0 Then
For I = 1 To xFiles.Count
Set xWb = Workbooks.Open(xStrPath & xFiles.Item(I))
Worksheets(1).NumberFormat = "@"
xWb.Worksheets(1).Copy after:=xToBook.Sheets(xToBook.Sheets.Count)
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Name = xWb.Name
On Error GoTo 0
xWb.Close False
Next
End If
End Sub

    80% of your code is not relevant to your question, please keep only what's relevant. Your title says you want to import from text file, but code implies you copy from another workbook, please clarify.
