How to split large excel sheet into two separate text file (.txt)?

Hi guys,

I have an excel file with first sheet having large quantity of data, say around 200,000 rows of data. I'm able to save the sheet data to a text file, but due to the amount of data i'm unable to upload this text file into server. Is there any VBA macro to split this sheet data into two text files with headers intact in both files? For example, first sheets with total of 200,000 records split up with 100,000 records in one text file and another 100,000 in another text file, headers will be same in both. Note: headers and rows may change overtime.

Any help with this will be great.

Hi JayeshG,

Have you considered Zipping the text file before trying to upload it to a server?

If you need to do it in Excel, you could open a new workbook and do a Power Query that would pull in the first 100,000 rows from the file. You would then save this first workbook and open another new file and pull in the second 100,000 rows. I imagine you would want to use an "Index" column in Power Query and filter based on the row number. The newer versions of Excel can use Power Query. You will need to download it as an Add-in for 2010 version.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

I've found a code which does what i need, but it doesn't save it in a text file as required. It saves as .txtm file. Any help tweaking the SaveAs statement will be of great help. Thanks! Here is the code.
