I have code to save a string as UTF8 - I need to save an entire Excel SHEET as UTF8!

[schnide]

I have a sheet in Excel which I want to save as a UTF8 format text file. I previously thought it couldn't be done but I found the below and it definitely works in saving a text string as one:

Code:

What I need to do is adapt the references to cText to save an entire named Excel worksheet in UTF8 format, instead of that single string of text. I would like to think this is quite straight forward, but my initial attempts haven't been successful.

I have also asked this question at OzGrid. As yet, no-one has been able to solve it on either forum.

Thank you greatly, as always, in advance.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately:

Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. You'll find people are disinclined to respond to cross-posts because they may be wasting their time solving a problem that has been solved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post. Expect cross-posts without a link to be closed a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us help you!

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this.

Note: I also amended your tags from QUOTE to CODE tags.

Point fully accepted, although I want to make clear that if I'm provided a solution in either forum I will post it in the other!

That's not the sole issue, as the link I posted indicates. Can you please add links to your other posts as requested?

Despite the help on how to post here, no-one otherwise answered so in the meantime I had to learn a little about ADO Streams and I seem to have solved this myself! The link is as below:

Oz Grid - Saving a file as UTF8 in Excel

Did you consider using:

Have you used that and seen the file format that it outputs to? Because when I use that macro it saves as unicode, not UTF8.

I've now simplified the code over at Ozgrid. It is now possible to save an Excel file as UTF8.

I will mark this thread as solved!
