How do you import data from Word document to Excel?

I'm new to Excel.

I know there is a built-in functionality to import text from Word documents into Excel, but I would like to know how to import data from a different Word file than the one that was used to create the worksheet in the first place.

I am aware of other applications like Google Docs that can import data directly from Word into Excel, but this would be too cumbersome for me as I have hundreds of documents in Word and need to update every single one of them with the same data. How do I do this? I use both Excel and Word at work, but do not have access to the internet at home. What I have found to be the best way to get data from Word into Excel is to create a VBA macro for both.

This creates a template/formatted document that I can fill out when needed. The VBA code is also the easiest to modify (as it will update the cell value, row, and column), and is accessible by me no matter what PC I am using. It may sound like overkill, but it's actually the best solution for my situation. It's also the most useful to me, as I have no internet access at home.

I also use a combination of the two, but the VBA code isn't formatted properly for Excel, so I end up having to copy and paste from Word into Excel. The code for both programs is below. Sub ImportText(). Dim wdDoc As Word.Document Set wdDoc = ActiveDocument. 'Import text from the word doc into excel. Dim excelRange As Range. Set excelRange = wdDoc.Bookmarks("Heading").Range
With excelRange.Insert(Type:=wdIncludeComments) .Text = "" End With. 'Copy the text. excelRange.Copy 'Select the new range of cells and paste the text. Range("A1").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues Range("B1").

How do I convert a Word document to Excel without losing formatting?

If I have a .

Doc file with a table that has font formatting in it, how do I convert that table to an Excel sheet without losing the formatting? (and if it is not possible without losing the formatting, what about formatting of a list of items?) (As I use a macro to open the file and run a function that then runs MS Word and saves the file as an excel, how do I get access to the actual table (or just the list of items) before it gets converted?). I am using Office 2023, 32-bit, on Windows 7. I know I could probably achieve this by starting with a blank document in the correct format, but I would like to do it without a blank file. Something as quick as saving a word file as an excel would be great :) Thanks! This can be done but it will require some coding. If you want the best of both worlds, then don't do the conversion at all. Have your macro call a simple C# method or Java class method that does the conversion on the fly without any formatting issues. Since you said macros, I assume that there is no other way than opening a window that pops up for it.

How do I import data into Excel?

I'm trying to import a txt file into Excel, and I have everything working except that the data is formatted as text rather than a numerical value.

I've tried the import wizard, but it's just bringing in the text as is, and I'm not sure what to change or how to set up the table. I have a .txt file which I imported into Excel, and it has columns with names, the type of data they contain, and what they're called in the file.

I have no idea how to set up the sheet, though. This is the information in the txt file I'm trying to import: Ok, so I figured it out. I had to make sure that there were no commas anywhere in the data and I had to use TEXT instead of NUMBER format for each column.
