Hi,
Kutools for Excel only supports to save as Unicode text. If you prefer to UTF8 text, I am afraid you need to save each row manually one by one, or apply VBA code.

Hi tae-woo,
Thanks for your comment. At present Kutools supports to save worksheets as Unicode text files, CSV, Workbooks, PDF. Perhaps, Kutools will support to save worksheets as UTF-8 text files in future.

I am sadly getting the following error when trying to do this: "Access violation at address 0000000002D1F21B in module 'PaneforKutools64.dll'. Read of address 0000000101010060."
I may have gotten the number of zeros wrong as I cannot copy and paste... but what should I do?

Hi

I have a file with roughly 20,000 rows and these rows need to be saved as individual notepad files with a name from another column in the same file. Could you please let me know if this is possible.

Example:-
Name Text
Nm1 test file content - test 1
Nm2 test file content - test 2
Nm3 test file content - test 3

So for the table above in Excel, I would like 3 files created with 1st file saved as 'Nm1.txt' and content 'test file content - test 1'.

Could any of you please help.

Thanks
Divya

Hi there,

Are the names in the column in a regular way like Nm1, Nm3?
You cannot retrive name from a column, but you can create the names in a regular way. For example, when you click on Kutools Plus > Split Data, you can select Sequence Numbers in the Rules drop-down list (No. 2) under the New worksheets name section. And then add certain text in the Prefix and/ or suffix box.
https://cdn.extendoffice.com/images/stories/doc-excel/export-each-row-as-text/doc-export-each-row-as-text-6.png

For example, I select Sequence Numbers and enter Name- in the Prefix box, I will get the names of the text files like this: Name-1, Name-2, and so on.
