This article was previously published under Q123183 SUMMARY Microsoft Excel does not have a menu command to
automatically export data to a text file so that the text file is exported with
both quotation marks and commas as delimiters. For example, there is no command
to automatically create a text file that contains the following:
"Text1","Text2","Text3"
However, you can create this functionality in Excel by using a
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) procedure. MORE INFORMATIONMicrosoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied.
