I have a few thousand files that all have the extension of .kdm.kdm. I need to change them all to .kdm.xml. All of the files are in a single directory on my hard drive. I know there's a way to do this in VBA that's simple, but I can't seem to locate it in any of the books I have....
View 2 RepliesI have a folder containing 1000's of files. All the files end in .txt (for example test.txt) but are actually excel files. When I go to open the files with excel I get the following warning:
The file you are trying to open is in a different format than specified by the file's extension. Verify that the file is not corrupt and from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to continue?
I click "yes" and it opens fine as an excel file.
I want to merge all these files one after another into one file.
I require a bit of code that locates where the excel file is stored - it then searches that directory folder for all file names. Any file names with an extension *.hm for example are listed in column A, while their relevant 'Dates of last Modification' are listed in Column B.
Every time the spreadsheet opens it should ask the user if he/she requires a re-search of this directory and update of any file names accordingly. NB: if a file name is deleted from the directory, the file name should remain in the spreadsheet.
I have recorded a basic macro that sources data from a number of workbooks.
If I change the filename in the workbook with the source data or move this file to a different folder path the macro does not run without errors.
Does anyone know what vba code I can use to address this problem?
I have about 85 files that I need to rename. These files contain data concerning delivery and quality data of each of our suppliers...1 file per supplier.
Current File Name: SupplierA 2012.xlsx
New File Name: Supplier A 2013.xlsx
Is there a way to do mass rename the files..
and that leads to my second question...each of these files contain vlookups to 2012 data...which is contained in the a file with 2012 in the file name. I need to replace source data file (i.e. 2012 Index) with the new file containing the 2013 data (i.e 2013 Index). Is there a way to replace that source data across 85 or so files using some time of mass find and repalce? All the cell references remain the same
I am trying to develop an excel macro to accomplish the following:
-I have a master workbook for collecting data
-One folder will be used to dump excel files into; I don't know the filenames (other than "*.xls"), but I do know from which cells I will need to retreive data (they will be the same for all files)
1. I need to retrieve data from these excel files
2. After getting data from a file, it is then moved to another folder
3. Next the retreive data, then move is performed on the next excel file until there are none left in C:IN
Upon searching this forum, I found a way to open each of these files one by one (without having to know the filenames): Using a script to open unspecified file name
- For me, the obstacle seems to be not knowing how to do what I need to without knowing the filenames
- Again, the issue - retrieve data from these files, then rename/move these files
I am having trouble getting Excel 2007 on my work computer to save as .xlsx by default.
I have opened the Office Button > Excel Options > Save > Save files in this format and selected "Excel Workbook (*.xlsx)," and if I save as before closing Excel then it works perfect and saves the file as .xlsx. However if I close Excel, re-open it later and save a new file the default "Save as type:" is "Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls)" and if I open the save options again the "Save files in this format" option is reverted back to "Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls)."
I have finally overcome the [Compatibility Mode] issue by saving a file named "Book.xltx" (not "Book1.xltx") in the two default locations "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12XLSTART" and "D:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataMicrosoftExcelXLSTART" (we use the D: drive at work for personal files). I thought this would solve the save as issue but it hasn't. I have also changed the "Save files in this format" before saving the .xltx files in the locations to apply the settings to those specific files but that hasn't worked.
It is on my work computer so I am limited in what settings I can change because they have them pretty well locked down.
I have just received an eMail from my accountant and here file name extension is .xlsx. I have never seen this before. Can someone tell me why the x on the end of the extension? . Also, when it opens, a Message Box is displayed: File Conversion in process.

I have a sheet I am working on that was given to me by a supplier and for example the cell in A1 is '2008_world_soccer'. How do I add '.jar' to the end of the filename bearing in mind the filenames are not the same length in each cell. So it would then read '2008_world_soccer.jar' or ''2008_world_soccer_GB_test.jar' etc. Any ideas that would saving me having to edit and type .jar at the end everytime for over a thousand records?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am thinking of an extension. Every time it finds a empty row where it pastes in. Is it possbile to insert as many rows as the range object is before we paste in the range?
Ex: If the source sheet has 10 rows that's going to be pasted into the destination sheet. I want first to insert 10 rows into destination sheet at "*" and then paste in the 10 rows from the source sheet.

It works fine for values or text that are entered in the cells, but does not work for a value or text in the cell as a result of a function in that cell. What modifications to the VBA statement needs to be made to make Conditional Formatting work based on function results?
View 7 Replies View Relatedlook at the tab "Publisher sumif summary" and at the "Q" column. There is already a formula in place which returns a number from column B in the "Publisher Control Sheet".
If you look at Column B in the "publisher control sheet", you can see that for some of the companies in column A there is no number. Instead, there is a number in Column C where there is no number for column B.
The problem at the moment is that I don't know how to get the data from Column C factored into the equation, which I will describe below
Essentially, i need the formula in the Q column of the "Publisher sumif summary" to return "((Column M number (impressions) /1000)* Column C number) with the column C number coming from the "Publisher control sheet" tab. It needs to only do this where there is no number in column B, and how to add this function!

I clicked on something and now my original (one) workbook has opened as two
workbooks with the above listed extensions. If I do something in one, it
will appear in the other. If I close out and re- open the workbook from it's
original state, they still appear. I clicked too fast or hit something and
now I can't get it back to original form.
I opened a file, by file I mean a "file" with no extension that has commas separating it.
So I recorded a macro to open up the file and this works fine.
How do I close it? I tried
wk1 = ThisWorkbook.Name 'Main Worksheet
...
Workbooks(wk1).Activate
ActiveWindow.Close
But the problem is that "wk1" is not set equal to the name, probably because the file is not an excel file, it has no extension.
I need a VBA script which only opens the file with the highest extension.
The files are test.aa1, test.aa2 and test.aa3. This can go up to 5. In this case the filoe test.aa3 should be opened.
is it possible to choose $[file] in custom header area but only have the file name, before the xls extension print?
Also, is it possible to have the file name print in all caps? (or would the file have to be named in all caps?)

View 9 Replies View RelatedI took this code from another post and modified it slightly to look in my directory "C:cherylpostal" and list the names of all the files contained. I then have them displayed in a combo box. They are all CSV files, but I would really like them to appear without the .CSV extension. For example, my COQ4 file appears as COQ4.CSV but I would like it to just display COQ4. I can't seem to make it work however.

Dim rngOut As Range
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFile As String

I want to develop a macro for getting filename without extension and seperating the value into two variables.
Requirement:
I have a folder with 3 subfolders inside.
Each subfolder has few files in it.
I will give main folder as input and it should check all subfolders/main folder for files and take that files and modify as shown in below example:
Example of one file: TEST-123_REV00.pdf
Here TEST-123 is the document name
REV00 is the revision of the document
pdf is as usual the extension.
Now my requirement is to prepare an output file with all these files in a text file.
The output is in this format..
Document Name | Revision Name.
Apparently my program quits after i try to open an excel file. If you open the file manually you get an error upon opening the file...something like this:
"File you are tyring to open is in a different format than specified by the file extension".
The problem is i am using an excel macro using VBA and once the file is opened the VBA execution quits.
The excel file turns out to be an xml file which excel can open the file and have the VBA continue running if i RENAME the file with an "xlsx" extension. The problem is that i cant ask the user to rename the file.........how do i get VBA to open the file without an issue?

I want to copy the extension of each file to a new column (File Type). How might I go about this?
Has anyone got the add in code? I have my own custom menu bar on my excel. But every time i want to add a new link i must go into the code and manually add the file name extension and relevant VBA code. Is there a method of just entering the file extension in a cell range and excel will automatically update or pick up or link from this location?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to write a macro that will open every file in a given folder, then save the files with a new file names while keeping the original file extension. The files I'm opening with excel have file extensions of ".VA", ".TOU", and ".KVA". The new file names I want to save the files with are contained in cell A1.
An example would be:
The excel macro opens file "R003890.TOU"
The macro assigns a the value in cell "A1" (B1040) to a variable
The macro assigns the file extension (.TOU) to a variable
The macro saves the file as file name variable and file extension variable (B1040.TOU)
