i have as many as 100 workbooks in the same folder(such as "e:/data"),i should change the same address value in each workbook. first i write the code use "application.filesearch",but it can't run because it has removed FileSearch in excel 2007. i get the code below from Ron de Bruin
Sub test()
Dim wbOpen As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim I As Long
Dim myfiles() As String
MyPath = "e:data"
If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "" Then
MyPath = MyPath & ""
End If
'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub
FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.xl*")
If FilesInPath = "" Then
MsgBox "No files found"
Exit Sub
End If...................
I am creating a document for work that automatically generates hyperlinks to pdf files in a given sub folder. Currently I have a section of code that opens a window to choose the folder location.
Code: 'Prompt user to select a directory Do Problem = False Set ShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application"). _ Browseforfolder(0, "Please choose a folder", 0, "c:\")
On Error Resume Next
[Code] ........
What I actually want is to not have the window open, but excel automatically choose the sub folder location.
The directory looks like this Z:ClientProjectDRAWINGS-2 RECORD COPIESPDF
The xlsm file is stored in the DRAWINGS folder, and I need it to point to the PDF folder.
I have up to 50 workbooks in one folder with data in a specific range. I also have one workbook which includes additional data, including conditional formatting and dropdowns. I need to copy the desired range from the first workbook in the source folder to the second workbook, then save the latter to my destination folder, using the same name as the first. I need to repeat this process for all workbooks in the source folder.
I have been trying to edit a code which previously saved a copy in a new workbook to a specific folder/path. (Additionally it copies and clears some figures, but this is working as it should.)
However I would like the copy to be saved at the same location as the original workbook, regardless of the path the original workbook is saved.
I.e if I need to move the workbook containing the code to a new folder/location, when using the macro, the new copy should be stored in the same folder/location as the original one.
For now it is only saving the copy into "My Documents"
Code: Sub Macro1() ' ' Macro1 Macro ' Macro recorded 16-02-2009 by ceng '
which part of this macro I need to edit to make it open a folder I want?
Sub OpenFolderRequest() YesNo = MsgBox("Would you like to open the folder to see" _ & vbCr & "which files are currently there?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Open Folder?") Select Case YesNo Case vbYes myval = Shell("c:winntexplorer.exe c:winnt", 1) Case vbNo End Select End Sub
I have tried changing the (c:winntexplorer.exe c:winnt) to the location name of the folder I want to open (S:Stock ControlSTOCK CONTROLOrder Confirmation)but it doesn’t seem to work.
I have one folder in which 25 files is available and File name is , section - 1, section - 3, section - 3 etc till section - 25. I ran below macro to combine all workbook into one means inn new workwook total 25 sheets will be.
Sub Merge2MultiSheets() Dim wbDst As Workbook Dim wbSrc As Workbook
[Code]....
Above code is working correctly but problem is it's not merging by name. I mean in new workbook, first sheet's name should be section - 1, 2nd sheets name should be section - 2 but it's merging randomly.
The CFO wants to change the name of the top folder on our network drive at work.
I have literally thousands of files in different folders within this top folder, and changing the name of the top folder is going to cause hundreds of thousands of reference errors.
Is there a best way to protect these links, other than to find+replace for hours and hours?
I know how to create a backup file for an excel file (General Options Menu in Save As dialog box, we have to tick the "Always create backup" check box). When we tick this option the backup file is created in the same folder. Can we specify the path were this backup file can be stored and updated each time when we save the main file.
Is it possible to have saved the same workbook name and that to have a prompt asking whether you want to replace or update the workbook??
eg. If update, it'll scan through the existed workbook & compare with the other workbook which you want to save, & add rows according or sum up the total for one of the cols.
I have a workbook that is located in a folder and i need to copy this folder into multi locations, i need a save as macro that will save the workbook back to the same folder location it was opened from, i have got the workbook file name that i wish to use in N6 of the workshee
There is a folder with all excel files with the same structure. I need a macro, who opens one file by one in a folder, change the layout, and save it too same place with same name. Changing the layout will I do with macro record.
Sub AllFiles() Dim MyFolder As String 'Path containing the files for looping Dim MyFile As String 'Filename obtained by Dir function Dim MyBook As Workbook MyFolder = "D:LABODIESTSOST_DIEST" 'Assign directory to MyFolder variable
VB code, recorded by macro, it is working, but I need create different workbooks with different names , this one create just one specific name here is the first problem , second would be for saving in desktop folder "Ataskaitos" here another because it just for my computer , on other computer directory would not be found and third , then I deleting existing sheet in workbook from there I run the macro and copy sheet to new workbook it asking if I sure want to delete that sheet, so I don't need asking that I just need to delete it
In a folder i have a large number of files all formatted the same but with different data in, basically what i want to do is have a mastersheet in each folder that when you run code it will open the first workbook, copy sheet 1 and paste it to sheet 1 in the mastersheet. then open the next workbook again copy sheet 1 find the next empty row in sheet 1 of the mastersheet and paste below, then basically repeat through all the files. There are changing number of files in the folder so it needs to be able to loop and open every workbook. at the moment the sheets are called ME1, ME2 etc etc and the mastersheet called mastersheet.
I am having trouble getting a copy of current workbook to save (with a hopefully unique name) into a vba created folder. The folder creates fine on any drive that I have access to, but the workbook never turns up. The code is only an extract from the whole but it still fails in isolation.
Sub Macro1() Copyit: Dim fso Dim fol As String Dim flag As String fol = "E:Excelb4macrobackups" ' change to match the folder path Ans5 = MsgBox("Create Backup of " & ActiveWorkbook.Name & "?" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & " Backup File Path:" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & fol, vbYesNoCancel + vbExclamation) If Ans5 = vbNo Then Exit Sub If Ans5 = vbCancel Then MsgBox "Procedure Terminated!", vbExclamation: Exit Sub.........
I am trying to have a worksheet linked to another workbook, but this workbook name will change. It will always start with Blockbuster - Valuation but the rest of the file name is the date and the version of the workbook. Do you know how VBA can go in a folder and look for the entire file name of a workbook starting with Blockbuster - Valuation.
I would like to copy a workbook from one folder to another without opening the original. Obviously, tempname.SaveCopyAs doesn't work, can you suggest an alternative?
Sub gettemplate() Dim tempname, tempcopy As String
tempname = Application. GetOpenFilename 'Choose the path of the original workbook tempcopy = Application.GetSaveAsFilename 'Choose the path where the copy will be saved tempname.SaveCopyAs tempcopy 'Want to save the original workbook into the copy file path Workbooks.Open tempname 'Open the copy
1. I have a large number of Test Suites that are large documents with 1 (visible) sheet w/ test cases, and 1 (hidden) sheet w/ validations. Test Suite is saved with a unique name (that follows a naming convention we've set up on this project: <Project>_<Test Suite Category>_<Location in Software>_< date>.xls
2. I need to create a master document in which i can run a macro that will copy each "test suite" sheet from each of these documents, insert it into the master doc, and sort the sheets by name. then it needs to present the data from all of the sheets on the main page of the doc, and break down the results by Test Suite Category, and Location.
Is this possible?
Can I create a macro that will import sheets from (potentially) hundreds of different workbooks, and then sort them appropriately?
I've been looking all over the place, and while i've seen macros that can import specific data, rows, or columns, i havn't quite seen what i'm looking for.
I have tried to cobble together a macro to remove the sheet protection from every sheet in every workbook in a folder. Not surprisingly, it is not working. Unfortunately, I have reached the limits of my VBA abilities.
How can I copy whole sheet (only value and format) in other close workbook next to used sheet if it is in the same folder (folder can be in Desktop in C or D)
I have a Workbook that is located in a Networked Folder and is used by several people every day. The Workbook has a lot of VBA and also has links to other workbooks. I am noticing that over time there are several extra files being created from this excel workbook, in the same folder. The Workbook is the only file in this folder. They are not associated with any program and are just a File Type. They are titled a series of 8 random Letters and Numbers and range is size from 700 KB to about 1 MB (Slightly smaller then the Workbook file size).
Also, Is possible to automatically delete these files when they are not needed? or better yet is there some way to Prevent these files from being created in the first place?
I have a summary workbook that I want to save into different folders designated by the input from my userform. My directory has folders named: "A051 - Watson", "A052 - Gila Bend", "A065 - Tompkins"... etc; but I want to designate which folder to put the summary workbook in by the first 4 characters in the folder names(A051,A056,A055...etc) Let me know if I made it clear enough.
I tried to write some VBA code to loop through all the files in a folder and return the name of the file. (In my current example, all the files are excel workbooks)
Here is the code I have used:
Sub Load_List()
Dim lCount As Long Dim wbResults As Workbook Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook
Set wbCodeBook = ThisWorkbook
With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch 'Change path to suit .LookIn = "G:CFOMiddle OfficeDannyFine Tunning for JP" .FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
However, when I tried to run the code, it give me the error message saying: the defined type of the variable are not been defined. Seems to me, that VBA dont have the variable type as Folder, or File.
I need to save an excel workbook when a "backup" button is pressed to a folder named "Backups". I want the name to be the "date" (09/07/2013) only and I want it to automatically overwrite anything previously saved for that day.
