如何使用VB脚本对Excel工作表中的行进行排序并打印到文件？

Question

I have a table named student . I am trying to print corresponding student names with respect to his mark . I want to print to a file using Excel macro .

My table which contain title as student name 1 , 2, 3 etc.. and corresponding marks as 1 , 2, 3 ,4 and "-" .

I want to write function in VB to sort corresponding rows as each subject (0,1,2,3,...7) and also print the values to a file .

output (file.txt)

NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL
STUDENT 2 ,STUDENT 5 ,STUDENT 4 ,NULL,NULL
STUDENT 4,STUDENT 5,NULL,NULL,NULL
etc.. 

columns in a row should sort to ascending order and if "-" present in any column should be print as NULL as remaining values .

I have written

Sub test()
'create and write into file txt
Dim fso As Object

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

    Dim Fileout As Object
    Set Fileout = fso.CreateTextFile("MyFile.txt", True, True)

    'Write logic for sorting 

    Fileout.Close

End Sub

How to sort in a excel using VB script and print those rows ?

Here is a way of implementing that, adapt it to your needs:

' Naive O(N^2) sort
Sub Sort(arr() As Long, students() As String)
    If UBound(arr) <= 1 Then Exit Sub

    Dim i As Long, j As Long
    For i = 0 To UBound(arr) - 1
        ' Look for the minimum index in the sub-array going from i
        Dim indexOfMin As Long
        indexOfMin = i
        For j = i To UBound(arr)
            If arr(j) < arr(indexOfMin) Then
                indexOfMin = j
            End If
        Next j
        ' Put the minimum mark at the beginning of the sub-array
        Dim tmp As Variant
        tmp = arr(i)
        arr(i) = arr(indexOfMin)
        arr(indexOfMin) = tmp
        ' Put the student with the minimum value at the beginning of the students sub-array
        tmp = students(i)
        students(i) = students(indexOfMin)
        students(indexOfMin) = tmp
    Next i
End Sub

Sub SortAndSave()
    Dim dataRange As Range
    Set dataRange = Range("A1:F9")

    Dim data As Variant
    data = dataRange.Value

    Dim NSubject As Long, NStudents As Long
    NSubject = UBound(data, 1) - 1
    NStudents = UBound(data, 2) - 1

    Dim text As String
    Dim i As Long, j As Long
    For i = 1 To NSubject
        ' Read marks and students names
        Dim subjectMarks() As Long
        ReDim subjectMarks(0 To NStudents - 1)
        Dim students() As String
        ReDim students(0 To NStudents - 1)
        For j = 1 To NStudents
            ' Use a big enough number 999 so that students with no mark will be pushed to the end
            subjectMarks(j - 1) = IIf(data(i + 1, j + 1) <> "-", data(i + 1, j + 1), 999)
            students(j - 1) = data(1, j + 1)
        Next j

        ' Sort marks and students
        Sort subjectMarks, students

        ' Build display row for subject
        Dim row As String
        row = ""
        For j = 1 To NStudents
            ' If there is a mark render the student name
            If subjectMarks(j - 1) <> 999 Then
                row = row & students(j - 1)
            ' Otherwise render NULL
            Else
                row = row & "NULL"
            End If
            ' Add a comma if not the latest
            If j <> NStudents Then
                row = row & ","
            End If
        Next j
        text = text & row
        ' Add a \r\n if not the latest
        If i <> NSubject Then
            text = text & vbCrLf
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

Result:

NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL
STUDENT 2,STUDENT 5,STUDENT 4,NULL,NULL
STUDENT 4,STUDENT 5,NULL,NULL,NULL
STUDENT 4,STUDENT 5,NULL,NULL,NULL
STUDENT 2,STUDENT 5,STUDENT 4,NULL,NULL
STUDENT 5,STUDENT 4,STUDENT 2,STUDENT 1,NULL
STUDENT 5,STUDENT 4,STUDENT 2,STUDENT 1,NULL
STUDENT 4,STUDENT 5,NULL,NULL,NULL
