使用宏在Excel中更改小数点分隔符

Question

I am using a simple java program that outputs data into several comma separated text files. I import these files to Excel using a macro pasting each file into separate sheets named after file name. The problem is that the output decimal separator is point "." and the regional setting is comma ",". I don't want to keep changing the regional settings all the time.

Using Ctrl+F and replacing all points with commas works fine. But if I record this as a macro and run it the data is displayed incorrectly and I get "number stored as text" errors (like this example ). I have been looking at two possible solutions for this:

1. Using a replace function like here . But I have trouble getting it to run as I don't understand what some of the lines do and what I need to change.

2. Changing the comma separator settings in Excel like here . This solution would require these settings to reset on exit. Doing it this way does not really solve the problem but goes around it.

Example output here . Thank you very much for any input!

Answer 1

If you use the Open command in Excel you can open that, modify the advanced button in the screen "Column Data Format" (Step 3 of 3) and modify the import separator.
If you use a macro use the following:

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="E:\0\aa.TXT", Origin:=xlMSDOS, StartRow:=1 _
    , DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
    ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False _
    , Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 1)), _
    DecimalSeparator:=".", ThousandsSeparator:="&", TrailingMinusNumbers:= _
    True

If you don't select the Thousands separator, you can have some strange value like 2.345 it's imported like 2345. (The same with open). If you use for example & separator for Thousands, you don't have the problem.
