QueryTable.WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne Property

True if consecutive delimiters are treated as a single delimiter when you import data from HTML <PRE> tags in a Web page into a query table, and if the data is to be parsed into columns. False if you want to treat consecutive delimiters as multiple delimiters. The default value is True. Read/write Boolean.

Syntax

expression.WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne

expression   A variable that represents a QueryTable object.

Remarks

Use this property only when the query table’s QueryType property is set to xlWebQuery, the query returns an HTML document, and the WebPreFormattedTextToColumns property is set to True.

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 WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne property applies only to QueryTable objects.

Example

This example sets the space character to be the delimiter in the query table on the first worksheet in the first workbook, and then it refreshes the query table. Consecutive spaces are treated as a single space.

  Set shFirstQtr = Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1) 
Set qtQtrResults = shFirstQtr.QueryTables _
    .Add(Connection := "URL;http://datasvr/98q1/19980331.htm", _
        Destination := shFirstQtr.Cells(1,1))
With qtQtrResults
    .WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True
    .Refresh
End With
