I have some code that will Kill a DB if it already exists, but I want to check if it exists and warn the user before this happens.
I am not that familiar with ADO, so I was fumbling through the Help topics trying to learn about ADO type names, etc. b/c i thought I could use something like:
If TypeName(MyDB) = "ADODB" Then . . .
but even if that ran, the argument in parentheses would be a string and not the actual DB object, so I am at a loss.
I have some VBA which currently creates a directory when it produces an error. the code is as follows
Function create_year()
On Error Goto makenew
ChDir "I:Reports" & Year( Date)
Goto skipmakenew
makenew:
MkDir "I:Reports" & Year(Date)
skipmakenew:
End Function
What I would like to do is have an IF statement which checks if the directory exists.

I got a pivot table that when selected will give me a value (actually its an ID number) I want in H3. I then got a list of values outside of the pivot table in column J. If H3 matched any of the values in column J, I need a “Warning”, if not “OK”. I have been using the formula =IF(H3=J3,"OK","WARNING") to match selected cells (H3 with J3) but cant get it to work to look down the column list. The OK or Warning is in cell F34 out of arms way!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a userform that copies a sheet in the workbook, renames the sheet & creates a hyperlink to that sheet using the following code.
Private Sub cmdEnter_Click()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
If ActiveCell.Column <> 1 Then
MsgBox "Go to column A to before inserting a row"

The problem I have is I can't figure out how to incorporate error checking if the sheet already exists.
What I would like is a message stating that the sheet exists and allow the user to make required changes on the userform.
Is there a way that I can check for the occurance of a specific value in a collection object like an Array or a Range in excel through VBA code?
For example I would like to check programatically if the value "orange" is present in an array by name Fruits(), where the array Fruits (3)=("mango", "banana", "apple").

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a huge database consisting of zipped file names which i created by importing the directory listing into excel. The zipped files contain two files each an mp3 and a correspondent cdg file (karaoke files).
I continue to add new disks (as I acquire them) to my collection. the trouble is that new disks have some songs already in my collection and I do not want to waste space in hard drive with duplicates. The existing data is arranged in a worksheet by columns as follows:
Discnumber | track number| artist | song name | path | complete file name
what I would like to do is to check the ** listing after import it to excel in the same format (i can do this part ) and then check it against the 10,000 plus entries that i have if the artist-song name combination already exists in the data. If so return the row in a separate worksheet or pivot table so that i can check it. this way I would only save the songs I do not have in my hard drive thus avoiding duplicates and saving precious space.
I have an array that opens a workbook containing close to 100 worksheets, and copies specific sheet names into there own individual workbooks. The problem I have now, is that I assume the worksheet exists in the workbook, but often times it does not Is there a way to add some sort of "catch" that will 1st verify the worksheet exists instead of my code crashing?

I can use a FileDialog to have a file selected. But I still need to check if it really exists before continuing. How to do?
(I know there is a function FileExists but do not know how to use it with FileDialog if this is the way to do it)
I have it like this
In column A is start of holidays
In column B is end of holidays
(one date written in A and one in B, and so on)
In C and D columns are start and end dates
Now I would like to check if start and and end dates of holidays, are between those dates in C and D
22/05/2006 24/05/2006
23/05/2006 24/05/2006
Check if first range of dates is between second one. Actually if holidays are between start and end date then check how many days are actually holidays in range of start and end dates

I am writing a macro which first needs to look and see if a certain worksheet exists. If it doesn't then I want it to create it but if it does I first want it to delete the sheet then create a blank one with the same name. At trhe moment I have this but it is scrappy and doesn't work very well:

It also does not delete the sheet if it already exists, just edits the existing one.
I am looking to see if a directory exists, and if it does, to save a file in it, otherwise create it, then save the file. My IsFileThere function works fine on files, but does not detect directories. The len(Dir(Filename)) statement always returns a 0, with the Dir statement always simply populating with "". It works fine on filenames - so can anyone tell me why it does not pick up directories?
Shouldn't the Dir function on a directory name return "."? I have excerpted some of my code to include here: Global Const StoredJobsSubdirectory = "Jobs"
Dim AppPath As String: AppPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
'other code in here - activeworkbook changed, hence previous line
If IsFileThere(AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory) Then

Else
MkDir AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory & _

I know this is my third thread, but I have made sure that I have trawled through other threads before posting. I have created some VBA to collect data from multiple workbooks and paste them into one workbook, Basically the copy and paste script runs according to how many tabs are in the summary workbook because each tab ( sheet) is essentially a condensed version of a workbook. Unfortunately some workbooks I am getting the info from don't have the right data that the copy and paste program is looking for or sometimes the document doesn't exist, is there anyway of telling my VBA to pass this tab if the document doesn't exist instead of throwing up a VBA debug error?

I'm looking to use the value from a series of dropdowns (made via data validation lists).
Cell AM5 is a dropdown of named ranges made form a seperate sheet
Cell AO5 is a dropdown that uses '=INDIRECT(AM5) to lookup the values in the named range.
I need cell AO5's value to be used to filter rows in the current worksheet. The current problem is when i use the first dropdown in AM5 it still displays the last value, untill i use the dropdown to select a new one. This value typically will not be found and i do not want my code to execute in these cases.
right now, formula is simple as follows
Code:
Sheets("Shift Premium").Select
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable3").PivotFields("DT_REPORT_DATE"). _
ClearAllFilters
ActiveSheet.PivotTables("PivotTable3").PivotFields("DT_REPORT_DATE"). _
CurrentPage = myDate
The idea is that the pivot table always displays yesterdays data.
However, there may not be any data for that day, so when i tell the macro to filter for it, I get an error.
My question is, how could I formulate some sort of iferror statement so that if yesterdays date isnt in the filter list, then it does nothing (by default leaving the filter on last populated date)?
I'm creating a macro to select, modify dimensions and place shapes on a excel sheet. (I'm talking about pictures insered and stocked in a specific sheet of my workbook)
When the users insert a new picture he has to set a name for each of them.
A combobox contain the choices, when an item is selected, the macro identify, size and place the corresponding picture.
But I have a bug if a shape doesn't exist when I try to select it :
Sheets("fiche de controle").Select
'select the sheet with the pictures
ActiveSheet.Shapes(Item_old).Select
'select the shapes "Item_Old"
Item_Old is a variable corresponding to the picture name.
If the user made a typo, I have a bug.
Someone knows how to test if the shapes exist to display a meesage if not ?
Or somethig to avoid this kind of bug ?
I'm trying to check if a named range "ActiveCells" exists before deleting it in VBA but can't seem to get the syntax right, I have tried: If Range("Activecells") Is Nothing Then Resume Next Else: ActiveWorkbook.Names("ActiveCells").Delete

I am trying to write some code that will copy the worksheets from one workbook (wkbSource) to another (wkbTarget), but I need it to maker sure the worksheets being copied from wkbSource don't already exist in wkbTarget. If they do exist, it just skips and moves to the next worksheet. Here is the code I have already, I thought that by adding the On Error Resume Next to the code it would just skip it, but for some reason it is still copying the first duplicate workbook, then it skips.
Code:
Dim wkbSource As Workbook
Dim wkbTarget As Workbook
Dim WorkbookName As String
WorkbookName = ThisWorkbook.Name

I am trying to set up a conditional formatting which will look at the cell contents and check if the value exists in a range.
