- How to put lots of text files into a single excel spreadsheet all in one go.
Sometimes you have data in lots of separate text files and you want to be able to put that data together in an excel document without having to copy and paste each text file individually. You can do this using Power Query. This is a really useful feature in Excel 2016 which lets you organize large amounts of data. This only works if all your text files have the same columns. This works with .txt and .csv files.

Hi Karina, your video help me to move to the next step, but I have an issue with the "Combine Files" step, when I start to combine my files, the query requires open an "sample" file it can be opened successfully but later I don't know how I can combine the rest of the files to make the load. I appreciate your comments
When you have loaded the files and you have only the first file showing is there a
vertical bar down the left hand side called Queries? Click on the arrow to
expand that Queries bar and then you should see two queries. One is called
sample query and contains only the first file. The second one is called other
queries and should contain all your files combined together.
Thanks a lot!
amazing accent
hi there... thanks a lot for this.. how do I get the query to only pull through data after a certain line and before another in the text file
you fucking legend. This saved my life

DataFormat.Error: Xml processing failed. Either the input is invalid or it isn't supported. (Internal error: Unexpected XML declaration. The XML declaration must be the first node in the document, and no white space characters are allowed to appear before it. Line 1, position 1705.)

Is it possible to only get one row from the documents imported?
Hi, I have done uploading text files into Excel but unable convert all the files into excel. can you please help me on this
How can I separate each of those text files ( or .asc) to a separate column? In my case they all have the same X axis values but different Y values . HELP please . I have 120 files, cannot do them one by one!
Hope, similar procedure for multiple .dat files
Hi, I have done uploading the text file but the Excel pop up a new query editor tab whereas in the video it just shows a small dialogue box (0:52 sec). Can you pls help me on this
does this work if your data is in rows and not columns?
Does anyone know how to do this with a Macbook? The settings seem to be different, as the option of "Data from folder" does not appear. I have to import 120 text files one by one...
Thanks.
But this still seem difficult. Someone should help, I need to convert 84 text files(Tab delimited) into excel sheets and still retain each file column spacing. This procedure takes alot of time converting manually to excel.
Can someone help make this seem-less for me?
Thanks
i basically want to keep the data separated by the source tx file name in the worksheet and be able to delete some rows and keep others to work with...
You could just use column filters to remove the rows you don't want. Or you could click on the small icon of a table to the left of the column headings and then select 'remove alternate rows' and then select the number of rows you want to remove and the number of rows you want to keep. Or I think you can go to 'view' and then 'advanced editor' and then change the code so the query only takes the rows you want from the text files but I don't know how to do this.
How can I import the multiple line into only one cell?
How to import the txt files into columns? I have numerous files with two columns and tens of thousands of rows, all formatted similarly. I can edit the query and transpose so the "binary" cells are the top row, but I can't seem to find a way to expand all of the columns. Or is there another way to do it? Thanks,
could you rearrange the data using a pivot table?
Hi Dear doing a wonderful full by transferring your valuable knowledge to us i am requesting you i have querie for automation reports can please help me
what do you want help with?
If I only knew how to not get it to be in numerical order it may save even more
You could try renaming the text files so there is a number in front of the name of each file. You could try inserting a column and then numbering the rows in the order that you want them to be in. You could try creating a Custom List to sort the data. ruclips.net/video/3rOXxzfRyIg/видео.html
