Here is a basic VBA code for converting Text to Column that works across multiple columns in an Excel workbook. You can edit this code to turn on (or off) various options such as DataType (xlFixedWidth or xlDelimited), TextQualifier and which delimiters to use while converting from text to column.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | Sub text_to_column() Application.ScreenUpdating = False On Error Resume Next For Each wksht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets For Each col In wksht.Columns Columns(col.Column).TextToColumns _ Destination:=Cells(1, col.Column), _ DataType:=xlDelimited, _ TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _ ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _ Tab:=True, _ Semicolon:=False, _ Comma:=False, _ Space:=False, _ Other:=False, _ FieldInfo:=Array(1, 1), _ TrailingMinusNumbers:=True Next col Next wksht Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub |

Can you show me an alternative code that will run on just 1 worksheet – my workbook has over 50 worksheets but only one of them needs to have the text to column macro run on it.
Thanks.

September 11th, 2012 at 5:15 amThanks for your code! I have a problem: When I run the macro, only convert text to columns in the active sheet, not in all workbook. Do you have any idea? I use excel 2010.

November 30th, 2015 at 1:20 pmI hope you can help me.
I want to spread text to columns, I have the code that makes it, but when I run the code, there is a message box to confirm the replacement, How can I make a default, so the message box doesn not pop up?
Thanks in advance and I’m pendant of your comments.
Have a nice day.
