View 3 RepliesI was trying to run the shell command in VBA (excel2007) on a .BAT(batch) file. While running the macro, the DOS command prompt appears and goes away in a flash but the function of the .bat is not performed which makes me think that the shell command isnt functioning properly. I had this proper earlier also with a few Exe's.
the line of the macro that calls is (c is the path for the batch file) :
Call Shell(c, vbNormalFocus)
Could any of you help me with some suggestions regarding this problem.
Just to confirm, the batch file on itself works absolutely fine and it looks like it doesnt take more than 2 seconds to run it. It also does not wait for any input from the macro. it is an individual batch just included in the macro.
i have batch file that run from VBAexcel But the thing is i dont want to run batch file
i want everything on VBA . for example you use vba to cmd and then run this line of command
i have try but i just new to VBA and programing
how can i do it
here the code
this is from batch
Code:
@echo off
>summary.txt (
for %%F in (*chkpackage.log) do findstr /l %1 "%%F" nul||echo %%F:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A:N/A
)
and this is code in vba
Code:
FileSet = Sheet1.Range("C13")
txtFpath = Sheet1.Range("C7").Value
FilePath = txtFpath & "
es.bat"
[Code]...
i have to admit that i'm really not good in programing if you can add some explaination is a great thing for me to try to study
Is their a way of creating a batch file which will open an Excel workbook and run a single macro?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm working on my first VBA project that requires 12 fields to be manually input of which one field is a file path. I need this path for multiple reasons, but the one reason I'm having a problem with is using the location of the path in conjunction with calling a bat file or executing a cmd prompt that is at that path.
Path Location, minus file name:
Code:
sheets("b. Fill Out Required Info").Select
Range("B18").Select
Actual Path found in B18:
C:UsersNickDesktopSubmission ToolTest Files
File attempting to execute:
CopyFileNames.bat
I can manually put all of this together and get what I want by using:
Code:
Shell "C:UsersNickDesktopSubmission ToolTest FilesCopyFileNames.bat", 1
The problem is, every time this will be used, a different path will be used, but the same batch file name will be used. So, rather than having to manually input the file path every time, is there a way to replace "C:UsersNickDesktopSubmission ToolTest Files" with the cell reference of the path listed above? I've tried different methods of this but I cannot seem to get it.
It would be even better if I could just use the cmd prompt found within the batch and run it directly from vba; the prompt I'm running is as follows:
Code:
cd C:UsersNickDesktopSubmission ToolTest Files dir /b/o |find ".xml">ListOfFileNames.txt
How can I put that cmd into VBA? I tried different versions of this with no success:
Code:
Shell "cmd.exe /c cd C:UsersNickDesktopSubmission ToolTest Files dir /b/o |find ".xml">ListOfFileNames.txt"
Notice that the path is the same as the path shown in B18 above. It would be great if that path would be dependent on the cell referenced above.
I realise this is not strictly an excel question but it forms part of my VBA code within excel
I have been writing a VBA program (with some fantastic help from you guys) part of which writes to a batch file to rename files stored in a given folder. Unfortunately this fails if the original files have spaces in the filenames. The batch file contains command lines such as: ...
I wanted to run a batch file which does something like,
Dir /b >Test.csv
Start Test.csv
And then runs an Excel macro once the workbook is open.
I looked into this and discovered that it’s not really that possible to run an excel macro through batch file but other options were to use ‘Workbook_Open’ etc.
I thought this might cause problems because Test.csv doesn’t contain a macro to auto open and because csv’s usually don’t like macros.
I do however have personal.xlsb which opens every time if that helps.
I have a workbook that contains worksheets. They are listed as follows:
Sheet 1ABCDEFG
In cells A1 - A49 I have text. What I would like to do is to have a macro that I can run that will basically copy and save new workbooks with sheets A - G copied over and have the new workbook saved with the file name that I have denoted in cells A1 - A49 on Sheet 1. Also, the macro would ask me where I want to save the new Workbooks.
For example, if this were Sheet 1, Column A then the cells below would be the saved name of the new workbooks and the new workbooks would have Sheets A - G in themRed
Blue
Purple
Black
White
Yellow
Orange
Green
Gray
Brown
One more piece of information, the file that is being copied and saved is large (~80MB). If there is a macro that would allow me to simply "save as' the workbook and the Saved Workbooks would be named using the data in Sheet 1, that would work as well in case copying, pasting, then saving may take more time
How can I make batch changes to graphs in the same excel workbook (but on different worksheets?)?
In particular, if I have a bunch of graphs, how can I make bulk changes to color, size, axes titles, etc.?
Added pictures of the items to include on quotes (the pictures are in a column to the right of all the other details - (these pictures only exist in Excel)).
Our new quoting software tool needs a link to the filename - however, our pictures don't have logical filenames!
Is there a way we can do a batch save as of all these images so it ends up as 'part#'.jpg within folder X?
There are about 6,000 products and will be a bit of zombie work we don't really want to do!
i have about 500 excel files that are built to specific format, only some data changes.
I need to make same changes to all the 500 files, so i'm asking that is there any kind of tool (free/commecial) that can batch changes to all files?
I have made a userform that works as a switchboard, and when you click on a button it should run a code that runs a batch file.
but for some reason the code does not work, can someone show me where i am going wrong...
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Shell "c:dataexcel oolkit downloadscombine files.bat"

Is there a macro to batch save many xls files to text (prn) files?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an excel spreadsheet with a list of numbers in column A. These are all "random" numbers in that they don't follow an order, but they mean something elsewhere.
The rest of the columns have other information that is related to the number in the same row.
I have another list of random numbers which is much smaller than the original, but all of the numbers on the smaller list (which is in a different excel document but can easily be put in its own column) are in the larger list as well..
I want to compare the two lists, and if the number from the smaller list is found on the larger list, I want the entire row deleted and all the remaining cells shifted up. I do not want any blank rows between the data.
I need a formula for batch allocation automatically.
See the attached file : Batch_Allocation.xlsx‎
I have several thousand text files, each with three columns of numbers. My goal is to convert each of these to a dbf file with three distinct columns (which is why simply renaming each with .dbf at the end doesn't work.) I can do this for an individual file by using the "Import External Data" Tool in Excel, selecting the "Fixed Width" option (which divides the figures into three distinct columns), and then saving the file as a dbf. I need to do this for several thousand files, however, so I can't do each by hand.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI currently have 3 batch files that I would like to be able to update using VBA instead of manually adding the information to each one. My goal is to be able to use my excel file and when I add new lines I could then run the script to save and/or update each of the batch files. I would like to be able to add the new lines I added in excel to the end of the batch files. I use the batch files for automation purposes but I do not like the fact that I have to open each one and added the same lines three times. This is why I want to be able to update my excel file and then add those new lines to the batch file. An example of how to accomplish this task using VBA would be awesome.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat I would like to do is take all of the subcategory headings and name the cells they are in to reflect them.
e.g.
E2 has text "Diodes, Low Frequency"
I would like to rename the cell so
Diodes_Low_Frequency has text "Diodes, Low Frequency"
The code I'm using is as follows:
Code:
Dim rng As Range
For Each rng In Range(E2, AD2)
'Title of subcategory

For this code I'm getting the error "Method Range of object _Global failed"
If I change the code to the specific Sheet4.Range(E2.AD2) I get the error "Method Range of object _worksheet failed"
The actual code to alter the test string works fine, its the selecting the range and writing the cell names that I'm having trouble with.
I need to sum up the batch quantities for a date with variance one...
but it doesn't work... I suspect that I'm using wrong formula, it should be not SUMPRODUCT...
when I tried to use just SUM, it adds all the quantities in the colomn.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(($AB$11:$AB$100)=AK12),--($AG$11:$AG$100=1),($AD$11:$AD$100))
I use a software to find relationship between some variables. this software can export results (excel mathematical formula) to a text or excel file. I need use this formulas in my VBA codes. but I should convert about 100-150 formula each time, hence this is very time consuming and hard to do that manually. I wondering if there is any macro code or third party software for that?
excel formulas are like this:
VB:

I'm using 2007 Excel and I have a list of 200 JPG files on column A which mirror actual file names of files I have located in C:photos.
My objective is to use Excel 2007 to batch rename all the files located in C:photos from the names listed in column "A" to the names listed in column "B" that I have created.
a VBA script that will accomplish this task?
I am trying to rename a lot of files within 1 folder. The Spreadsheet Column A contains all the old file names within a folder and Column B has the new file name.

would it be more efficient to use some kind of batch script?
I have a collection of about 200 .xls files in a folder, each contain the same macro. I now need to run this macro in all 200 files and save them but to do this manually will take hours. is there anyway to set excel to batch process a macro in multiple files?? Or maybe i can write a new macro to open up each workbook, run, then save and exit??

VBA coding for automatically saving an excel file as another file using the current date as part of the file name together with "32ga" as a constant add-in.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a template file for ordering trafolyte and steel plates. I have added macros to this template file. The existing macros do the following (shortly described):
Macro 1: clears order
Macro 2: update order date + send a read only file to the supplier of plates + save a read only copy of the file into one of three folders acc to info in one of the cells.
It's the Macro 2 I want to edit.
I want to add a "function" which copy a selection of data.column A to N from row 12 to 548 but only the rows where there is a value in column A.
Row 1 to 11 includes standard order info and Macro buttons.
Row 11 includes the heading for order data.
For everytime someone click on the Macro 2 button in the template file, I want the selection to be paste into the first "available" row in a "Total list" file.
The "Total list" file may have to be open (or a function to open, paste selection and then close the "Total list" file may be added)
File and Folder info:
To simplify suggestions, the following file and path info can be used (I can change to the correct later):
Template file name: template_order.xlsm
Template file location: \servershared emplate
Total list file name: total_list.xlsx
Total list file location: \servershared otal
Selection info:
The template file exists of a "general order info area" A1:N10
The column heading for order data is located at A11:N11
The selection to be copied is A12:N550 - But only rows where column A includes data (not empty).
(If the spesific order consists of 14 plates than there will be item no 1-14 in column A and I then I want to copy A12:N25 (row 25 will be item 14).
When I try to use record macro it looks like it only records what's happening in the template file - It doesn't record the pasting in the total list.
