Behavior

The InsertField method will insert a new field into all records, if they all have the same number of fields, in the current instance. The value of the FieldName parameter will be inserted into the record/first row, otherwise not. If a formula is given, the field is populated in each record (row) with the result of evaluating the formula on each field.

☕Example

Sub InsertField()
    Dim CSVint As CSVinterface
    
    Set CSVint = New CSVinterface
    With CSVint.parseConfig
        .path = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\Chinese CSV.csv"
        .utf8EncodedFile = True                                         'The file is UTF-8 encoded
    End With
    With CSVint
        .ImportFromCSV .parseConfig
        .InsertField .fieldsBound + 1, "Taxes" , "FORMAT(Total Revenue * Percent(18);'Currency')")   'Insert a field named "Taxes"
		                                                                                               'and use a custom fomula for compute it.
    End With
