Checking If Values In One Spreadsheet Exist In Another
Feb 4, 2007I have a 'master' spreadsheet containing over a thousand filenames. I have been given another spreadsheet with just a couple of hundred filenames on it and have been asked to find out if the filenames on this 'small' spreadsheet appear on the larger/master one.
Is there any way (by formula or by macro code) that I can do this easily? What would be great is some way of Excel colouring in the filenames on the 'small' spreadsheet that also exist on the master one.
Checking If Inside Vertical/horizontal Boarders Exist
Oct 8, 2009Part of my code formats a selected range, including boarders. I needed the vertical and horizontal boarders to be set to 'xlThin', but some times the range that is selected may only be one row high or one column wide, so this is throwing up and error. I am currently using the code below to do this.

Loop Through Set Of Files And Check If File Doesn't Exist?
Feb 11, 2014My problem is that I want to loop through a directory that contains csv files. The directory is dynamic so everytime could be a different number of files inside. I want the loop to go through each file and check if that file exists. If it doesn't to print a message that this specific files doesn't exist. Until now I got the following code:
[Code] .........
I guess I should somehow place the counter j inside the Dir path in order to check if everytime time the file[j] exists?
Checking Multiple Files For Criteria, Via VBA
Mar 26, 2008I have 52 weekly folders which are contained in the following directory
G:RawProduct ManagementJen DelaneyVendor ReportsLexmarkWeekly Stock And Sales2007
Wk4
Wk5
Wk6
Etc. etc.
Each (EG) Wk4 folder contains 6 files (all .xls format)
What I need to do (quickly) is create a macro which will cycle through each file & tell me which file (filename) contains the following part numbers (if at all)
0012A7610
0064080HW
0012A0150
0012A5140
0012A7610
0064080HW
So basically its checking to see if any of the above part numbers are contained in the file?
Excel 2010 :: Use Range Of Cells With URLs To Files And Check It They Exist - If False Delete To End?
Oct 24, 2013This is Excel 2010 on Windows 7
Trying to figure out a VB Script but don't know where to start.
I have a sheet for each month. lets take September 2013
A Column with 200 Servers (A1:A200) on the Intranet listed as server-1/, Server-2/ Server-3 ... Server-200/
Each Server lists a location of a file for each day (31 columns per row)
I am trying to check for the existence of the files on each server (The Cells contain the URL and File Name in Range B2:AF201) starting with server-1 check the URL in B2 if it exists, go to C2, Continue with that row until the file check is False (The Page will show a 404 error) if not found delete cell url and continue. do this for all 200 rows
Remove Modules In Multiple Open Files Results In Error If Module Doesn't Exist
Jan 30, 2008I have a number of similar templates on a server used to produce quotations from other files with lookup formulas. They all have 2 modules, 3 & 4. Module 3 deletes certain data and shows values instead of formulas for most of the pricing etc. Module 4 contains a macro that logs info in another central workbook on the server.
If 2 files are opened based on the same template at once, when the Quote_Wrapup macro (in module3) is run on one of the open files(code follows) from a button on the spreadsheet it often produces a Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range error.
Sub Quote_Wrapup()
'To stop screen flicker
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Add Rows From One Sheet To Another Only If It Does Not Already Exist?
Jun 22, 2013I have two sheets containing data, Sheet 1 and Sheet 2. Sheet 1 contains columns A-P, while sheet 2 only contains columns A-K.

I am looking for a macro that will compare columns A in Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 and for any records found in Sheet 2 but not sheet one, the entire row A-K of Sheet 2 will be added to Sheet 1.

Insert Row From Different Sheet If It Does Not Exist?
Jul 25, 2014I have a workbook with 2 sheets of data. I'm having trouble coming up with a code that can check if a row from sheet 2 does not exist on sheet 1, and if not, copy that row from sheet 2 and insert it into sheet 1 (preferable on the fist blank row).
It should check 4 specific columns on sheet 2, and if sheet 1 doesn't contain a row with the same data in those same 4 columns than the entire row should be inserted into sheet 1.
For example lets say row 4 of sheet 2 contains the values "Blue" in column D, "Green" in column E, "Yellow" in column H, and "Purple" in column I. If sheet 1 does not contain a row (any row, not just row 4) with those same 4 values in those same columns, then the entire row from sheet 2 should be inserted into the first empty row in sheet 1.

Does TextBox Value Exist In Range
May 8, 2008I need to compare a text box value to a dynamic range the value will be entered in upon a command button click. If the value matches a value within the range, then message box "Duplicate Item Found." Also, if the value is blank, then message box "Please Enter A Value." And finally if the value proves to be unique and not blank, then add the value to the range.
I want to do this on a command button click so that I can use the textbox with 2 other buttons: one to refresh the textbox to a blank value, and one to exit the form the textbox is located in.

Open Files In Folder- Wait 30 Seconds Then Close The Files
Jul 5, 2007I want to allow users to place files (.jpg, .tif, .pdf, .pps etc) into a network folder and then have my program open each file and display it for 30 seconds then close the file and the application before opening the next file.
1. Set up a loop to get a directory listing of the folder and write the listing to a text file.
2. Open up the text file and get the next filename in it
3. Open the file in the associated application
4. Wait for 30 seconds (or some period of time) and then close the file
5. Repeat steps 2-4
DoIt = 1
While DoIt = 1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for output as #1
Print #1, Files In Folder
Close #1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for input as #2
while not eof(2)
Line input #2, MyFile
Display MyFile on screen
Wait for 30 seconds
Close MyFile and MyApplication that opened it
wend
Close #2
I can get the directory listing just fine with no problems
I can open the files in the associated application just fine with no problems.
with closing the application after 30 seconds or some period of time.
I need some code that will allow me to easily send it a filename and it will know how to close the file and the application that opened it.
Files Saved To Program Files Folder, Open As Read Only
Feb 8, 2009I have an Excel application (Excel 2003) which is stored in the default Program Files folder by the Installer; for example: c:program fileszxchello.xls. The problem I am running into is this file opens as Read Only in Vista and this is interfering with the running of the application. There is no problem opening the file normally in Windows XP.
I have been able to narrow down the cause of this to the User Account Control system in Vista - if I turn OFF User Account Control, the Excel file opens normally and my application functions normally. Is there another option to open the Excel file without turning OFF User Account Control because some users may find it unacceptable to turn OFF this security feature. Ofcourse, one option is to install the application in another location, outside the Program Folder, and the file would open normally, but the Packaging Wizard that I am using to package the application does not allow me to install the application in any other location and thus, the application installs in the Program Folder and I am running into this problem of the Exel file opening as Read Only. Is there a way out of this situation where I can open the file normally (not as Read Only)?
