QueryTable.TextFileStartRow Property (Excel)
Returns or sets the row number at which text parsing will begin when you import a text file into a query table. Valid values are integers from 1 through 32767. The default value is 1. Read/write Long.
Syntax
expression .TextFileStartRow
expression A variable that represents a QueryTable object.
Remarks
Use this property only when your query table is based on data from a text file (with the QueryType property set to xlTextImport).
If you import data using the user interface, data from a Web query or a text query is imported as a QueryTable object, while all other external data is imported as a ListObject object.
If you import data using the object model, data from a Web query or a text query must be imported as a QueryTable, while all other external data can be imported as either a ListObject or a QueryTable.
The TextFileStartRow property applies only to QueryTable objects.
Example
This example sets row 5 as the starting row for text parsing in the query table on the first worksheet in the first workbook, and then it refreshes the query table.
Set shFirstQtr = Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1)
Set qtQtrResults = shFirstQtr.QueryTables _
.Add(Connection := "TEXT;C:\My Documents\19980331.txt", _
Destination := shFirstQtr.Cells(1,1))
With qtQtrResults
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileStartRow = 5
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.Refresh
End With
