Modifying a closed excel sheet with VBA -


i trying open 1 spredsheet isn't in view. change column format of 1 of columns date using texttocolumns feature. changes should saved , file closed automatically.

when run following says no data selected parse. thoughts?

sub test()  dim xlapp new excel.application dim xlwb excel.workbook dim xlws excel.worksheet  xlapp.visible = false  set xlwb = xlapp.workbooks.open("directory of file")  set xlws = xlwb.worksheets("sheet 1") xlws.unprotect       xlws.columns("f:f").select     selection.texttocolumns destination:=range("f1"), datatype:=xldelimited, _         textqualifier:=xldoublequote, consecutivedelimiter:=false, tab:=true, _         semicolon:=false, comma:=false, space:=false, other:=false, fieldinfo _         :=array(1, 4), trailingminusnumbers:=true   set xlws = nothing xlapp.displayalerts = false xlwb.close true set xlwb = nothing xlapp.quit set xlapp = nothing  end sub 

a bit of research should have given result, provide anyway...

'since want workbook invisible, have open in new excel application dim xlapp new excel.application dim xlwb excel.workbook dim xlws excel.worksheet  xlapp.visible = false  'open workbook specified path set xlwb = xlapp.workbooks.open("your filepath here")  'select worksheet opened workbook set xlws = xlwb.worksheets("your worksheet name here")  'do 'example xlws.name = "asdf"  'cleanup set xlws = nothing xlwb.close 'true save changes, false discard changes set xlwb = nothing xlapp.quit set xlapp = nothing
