    Dear all, I have got a text file containing the following sample data. I would like to convert some of the data into excel file. Basically i just want the field name and the value to be converted into the excel. Can someone help me on how to convert it into excel using excel macro.
    Example :
    Code:

    REFNUMBER=12345
    DATEFORMAT=yyyymmdd
    
    START-OF-FIELDS
    FIELD1
    FIELD2
    FIELD3

    Try the below code:

    Code:
    Sub Convert()
        Open "c:/myfile.txt" For Input As #1
        While Not EOF(1)
            Input #1, mydata
            If mydata = "START-OF-FIELDS" Then
                For col = 1 To 120
                    Input #1, mydata
                    Cells(1, col) = mydata
                Next col
            End If
            If mydata = "START-OF-DATA" Then
                For col = 1 To 120
                    Input #1, mydata
                    Cells(2, col) = mydata
                Next col
