I have an issue where i want to import value from a textfile into my excel-document which it does but when i run macro over and over to refresh said values with new ones it just moves it over and adds more, it needs to delete values and replace them, i didnt write this code myself so i cant understand the issue with it so here i am pleading for help



Sub ImportSaldo()
Call Shell("C:importGetFromFTP.bat", vbNormalFocus)

Dim fileName As String, folder As String

folder = "c:import"
fileName = "Saldot.txt"

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Range("A1").Select

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables _
.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & folder & fileName, Destination:=ActiveCell)
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells

End With

    ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Range("A1").Select is your problem here. If you want the existing code to be forced to load the data to A1, remove that line and change Destination:=ActiveCell on your .Add line to Destination:=Range("A1").
