Code For Searching Different Sized Files
Aug 29, 2012
I have a macro that checks data in a worksheet and manipulates the data.
the problem that I am finding is that the worksheet data, which is copied from another file, is different sizes - eg: in one file the data may be from a1 to f2890 but another file the data may be from a1 to f5990.
When the file is bigger I have noted that the macro does not check the rows between 2890 to 5990.
How can i get it do check all the cells no matter how big the file is?

how I can loop through folders to select files starting with a certain word and copy all of them to a different folder and rename them. The folder structure is given below
Company 1(parent folder)
North South East(sub folder) West(sub folder)
Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec
In the above structure, the files are present inside each folders Jan, feb...Dec under the regions North, South East n west. note that I have to select files starting with "Sales" and copy them into a new folder(say results) and rename copied files as Sales1.xls, Sales2.xls etc. (Files are not present in the folder company1, north, south, east and east.)

I want to bulid a code that enables me to open windows search result with a search string I define from excel data.
For example, I have folder path "X:workers".
In it, I want to search all the files with the string "dave".
The search string source is a cell in excel.

I have about 80 workbooks all saved in the same folder as numbers (from 1.xls, 2.xls, etc). All of the files have a similar template. I want to write a macro that will open each workbook and then copy the impt part out of each file and then paste into a master record for that category. I will probably end up with 20 different files (age, procedure, etc). Any idea of the best way to do this?

Am creating a large medical teaching database on Excel that lists JPEG images (a few hundred) and the file paths for each image into separate Excel columns using a VBA macro.
The JPEG image filenames are numbered in ascending numerical format (i.e 1.jpeg).

I'm trying to code a macro to search through all the files in certain folders to find a value defined by the user. The rows containing that value will then be copied and pasted into a separate workbook. My boss currently planning on storing about 550 different files (90 days worth of data) between these folders, but there is the possibility of years worth of data collection, should he change his mind about the 90 days, so I'd like the code to be efficient if possible. What I've tried to do is search each file for the value, then set a range equal the first row containing that value. If the value is found in that workbook, the code loops through the worksheet, adding all the other rows with that value to the range. Then the file looping exits (the values I'm looking for are only contained in one of the workbooks) and the range is copied and pasted into the master workbook. Each workbook has only one sheet.
I'm currently getting a run-time error "13" Type Mismatch error when it gets to the line where the code is supposed to find the value and initialize the range.
Code:
Private Sub SubmitButton_Click()
Dim mybook As Workbook
Dim masterbook As Workbook
Dim rownunm As Long
Dim pathparts(1 To 5) As String
[Code] ......

I need a formula (but most likely a VBA macro) that will search through a folder for a file than get data from that file. The files are named in systematic way, but I need the entire formula to work from inputting a mold number in one cell. E.g. I input 6291 in cell A2 the vba macro searches for file “6291 mold.xlsx” and returns a range of numbers as well as pictures in specified cells. Is this possible? If so how?
The closest thing I have found is VBA macro that retrieves a list of media files in a folder, I listed the code below.

Basically I am trying to write a code:
Using a Month specified in an input box eg: July Payday
Look up that month on the "info" worksheet to then copy and paste all the dates for that month on to a worksheet called "Working Hours". This is the code I have at the moment...not much I know, I don't know how to format the code in to tags:
Sub WorkingDays()
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim Month As String 'setting the object of Month being the data we need to find
Month = InputBox("Please enter the month you wish to record, eg July Payday")
'Typing the Month which we need to copy the dates for

I want to take select records from one sheet and sum only the matching records from another sheet, but the ranges are different sizes. As an example, in Sheet1, I want to select the codes with a "Rank" of "1", and total the "Cost" of those matching codes in Sheet2.
I need a non-VBA solution.

I have a document with about 300 comment boxes, and I needed to enlarge each one to make the information visibly fit in the region. I did this, and was happy.
Then I opened the file on another computer, added a few rows, saved the file, and re-opened it on this one, and all the comment boxes in the original rows (the 300 i had, not the 15 I added later) had been reduced in size and not all the text is visible. Why did this happen? Is there an easy way to re-size all the boxes without doing them one at a time?

A text file is imported to Excel Worksheet. I use this code to Select/Copy a section of that import;
Selection. Offset(4, 0).Resize(15, 9).Select
Selection.Copy
'The number 15 would mean there are 15 rows of items.
But there are not always 15 rows. There might be 18 rows, but because the code is set to 15 it will miss selecting 3 rows preceding, or if the code is set to 12 it will not select the full item list. However, whatever the amount of rows of items, be it 15,2 18 or 100 for example, directly under the item amounts is a "marker" purposely put in the file before the import for other search functions.
Above that marker is the total Item count! So I need a code to search for that marker, then move up 1 cell and whatever that number is, if "15" would then determine the correct row count to Resize
The "marker" is : ^3^
So the full code is:

I have a macro that contains a line:
Range("BB1011:CX1064").Select
The number of columns selected remains the same, but the number of rows changes. The indicator that tells me how many rows to select is contained in cell F1007 and in this example contains "54".
How do I adjust the macro to change the number of rows to select dependent on the value in F1007?

One of my coworkers is trying to create a document that has 3 columns in one part of the spreadsheet, but further down on the page, he needs to have 4 columns but wants them to use the same amount of space as the three columns. I have looked around and don't see how that is possible.

I'm in the middle of building a code that will look at the value in Sheet: "DATA" column "J", for each row that matches a criteria that I pull from a cell - Sheet: "Test" Cell: "C1".
The number of rows varies. I want to paste columns: "I2, K2:P2, U2:AJ2" when the value in Sheet: "DATA" column "J" matches the cell "C1".
I'm using a Command button to click every time I want to generate the filtered data. And I would prefer the code to always copy data starting at Sheet: "Test" Cell: "K2".
I've copied, below, my test code that I have so far which only copies row 2 from the Sheet: "Data", and copies it into Sheet: "Test", starting at K2.
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
If Sheets("DATA").Range("J2").Value = Sheets("Test").Cells(1, 3) Then
Sheets("DATA").Range("I2,K2:P2,U2:AJ2").Copy
Sheets("Test").Cells(2, 11).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone
End If
End Sub

I have a macro that I run repeatedly in a certain type of spreadsheet that does an export on a selection, pulls up a "Save As" message box and saves as a text file. There are 9 sheets in the workbook that contain the same data analysis for a set of samples, the only difference between them being the number of data (e.g. some may have 1500, 1400, 1600, etc.). I only select three columns of data to export (I6:K????) that contain counts (1,2,3,....), x-coordinates and y-coordinates. The counts column (I) uses a formula that only counts if there is an x-coordinate next to it (Col J).
[Code].....
Generally, what I do to make quick work out of selecting the variable ranges is to select Sheets 03-11 (the first nine sheets) and select K6:I6 (starting w/ K6). Then, on each individual sheet, I do CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN to select all the relevant data (if I started my selection with I6, then it would select all cells that contained formulas which may or may not have x,y-coordinates adjacent to them). Once the data is selected (I6:K????), I run the export macro and save the data as text. I would like a macro that can automate the selection for each Sheet 03-11, excluding Sheets "all", "data" and "summary", and run the export macro, first prompting me for a file location and a file prefix. When the text file is saved, it uses the file prefix and Worksheet name to build the filename, i.e. "pathprefix_wkshtname".
I've attached an example workbook : 20120511_Au-cit_pH5_test.xlsx

I am trying to write a Macro that will insert a Text Box that auto-fits the shape of a cell to hide its content. Once finished, the Macro will need to lock the cell and the text box so the contents of the cell are hidden. The idea is that I want to share a spreadsheet with someone but want to hide individual cells for various reason.
Sheet1A1SAMPLE DATA2sample3sample4HIDDEN5sampleExcel 2007
I tried to record a macro as a starting point but it recorded nothing. I searched around and it seems to be an issue without a solution.
I could obviously change the formatting and the contents of the cell but the idea is to preserve the contents if possible.

why the below code opens files as read only? What this code does is open all worksheets, in four different folders, whose filenames include the desired date. For example, if i want all worksheets for the 19th, then K117819, k127819, k217819 and K226119 all open. Except they open as read-only which requires saving to a different location and then renaming - which sort of defeats the time saving reason for running the code in the first place.
Public Sub Auto_Open()
Dim sCurFile As String
Dim sPath As String
Dim mpath As String
MsgBox "This tool will print all four production lines line report total sheet for any month and day in 2007"
mpath = InputBox("Enter the month i.e. 01 for January", "print")
fpath = InputBox("Enter day of the month to print (use leading 0's)?", "print")
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False
'Get the path
sPath = "t:2007" & mpath & "k11"...............

I'm trying to write some code that will check if specific files in a folder are present before continuing code.
I've looked on-line and found various code that checks if a single file is present whereas my requirement is slightly more demanding.
Some files might be present and others not. The code must check ALL necessary files are there then run main code. If even any single file from say 5 files is missing, code must exit.
I was thinking of using an array to store all files names and then use a "For Each XX In XX" to loop through the array and check each file is present?
This is what I have so far:
Sub XX()
Dim strPath As String, LinesDelete As String, Applepnfile As String, MpnStock As String
Dim myArray() As Variant, myElement As Variant
Dim myArray() As Variant, myElement As Variant
strPath = "Z:AppleApple Deliverys"
[Code] .........
