Is it possible to search a directory looking for a particular file, then if found, copy the directory and all its contents to another location?
it should be noted that not all of the files will be *.xls.
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 would like to add a visual indicator to my sheet that checks if a specific file exists in the same directory as the active workbook.
The filename format would look like: "something.invoice.(mm-dd-yyyy).xlsm"
The macro would check the =today date, calculate the previous month, and check to see if a file named that exists.
I am trying to prompt the user for the directory to be saved in and file name to be saved as; then save the workbook in the input directory with the inputted file name.

View 9 Replies View RelatedBasically what I want to do is to create a button which when pressed opens a file picker (I think its called this way) and the user should find and select a pdf file. And when he does that he clicks "OK" and this file is copied to specified folder.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got this code that will copy data into my worksheet from the most recent .IRP file generated on my C:/ drive. Along with copying the data to my worksheet, I'd like to have a copy of the IRP file copied to a folder on my L:/Drive.
In the code section I've commented out the code that allows the data from the most recent file to be copied to my worksheet. I found code that supposedly will copy a file to a new directory. I want to combine this into my code to allow both to happen. Here's my attempt.
I need to copy the names and date modified from all pdf files in a open directory. The directory name will change month to month. I will copy the names into an excel workbook that will be opened as well called Shipped starting in sheet1 cell P2
I am continuing to struggle with my first attempt at a macro, and wonder if someone would mind taking a look to see where I have gone wrong? All I am trying to do is create file copying tool where the user can define the source and destination directory in workbook cells, and assign the macro to a button to complete the copy of all files from source to destination.
The macros do this:
Source and Location directory defined in Sub Archive1.
These are passed to file copy macro Sub ArchiveScript.
This macro checks for presence of destination directory, ensures that the directory backslash is in place, specfies the variables fn and fn2 to make sure the filecopy command copies all files in the directory, and then carries out the filecopy function itself.
However, I am getting two errors from the code that I can't figure out (I am still very much a beginner!)
- Invalid procedure call or element on fn = dir() at the bottom
- The copy still works, but only seems to copy one file from the source to the destination, and not all of them.
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
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory & _
"" & NameString & ".xls"
Else
MkDir AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory & _
"" & NameString & ".xls"
End If............................

My macro pulls data from a set of files in a folder and creates an output based on my formatting rules.
Ran into 2 issues though. The first being is after this macro is run it saves a file in the folder with the name "Data Export" and before I had it do this if "Data Export" was already there
Code:
'Check if file name to save exists If Dir$(vFolder & "" & sSubFolder & ".xls", vbNormal) = "" Then
wb.SaveAs vFolder & "" & sSubFolder & ".xls"
MsgBox "Complete!", vbOKOnly
Else
MsgBox "File already exists, could not save!", vbInformation, "COMPLETE!"
End If
What I want it to do instead is change itself and save it as Data Export A, and then also loop for A each time, if A is there go to B , so on and so forth.
-Alternate solution if this is way to challenging, can I have it pop up the Save Message box to let the user try a new name if "Data Export" exists. I was trying to think through that too..
2nd Issue is when I loop the files in the folder I selected in my macro, I want it to ignore "Data Export" files. Before I just took a shortcut and had it save outside of the data folder, which was fine but now we are running on so many files a day that we need it inside the same folder for organization purposes.
That is done with the following
Code:
'Loop through files in folder sFileName = Dir$(vFolder & "")
Do Until sFileName = ""
I was thinking maybe I can add an error handler to the loop? Before Do Until? Something like this? But how I can add it into the loop?
Code:
If sFileName Like "????.?.xls" Then
By Code I am trying to SaveAs the present Workbook : Only in the same directory as the present Workbook- but with a different file name. The new file name would be :"the Filename of the Active Workbook" + " ("D9") of the Sheet("ADMIN")". This macro will only be run from the Sheet("Admin").

I have an excel spreadsheet that has a list of pathways to different folders (ex. Q:TechnicalY001) in each row. I want a macro that will search each of the folders I list in a range of cells and return the most recent file by the Date in the filename:
Example: Cell A1 contains folder path Q:TechnicalY001
Cell A2 contains folder path Q:TechnicalY002
The macro would return the most recent file in Y001 and dump the filename into cell B1. Then it would return the most recent file in Y002 and dump the filename into B2.
After I have all of the most recent filenames, I want to be able to search each of those files for data in certain cells and then dump that data into the spreadsheet. The cells are always going to be the same in each file.
The code bellow allows me to save a copy of the invoice by way of doPDF using invoice number as the name of the pdf to be saved.

This will change the current record number and will erase record data from saved records sheet.")
If sResponse = "" Then --cancelled or OK with no entry: do nothing or add message
Else
Set rFound = Sheet1.Columns("L").Find(What:=sResponse, LookIn:=xlValues,

The code above simply removes a line on sheet1 to which yet another macro retrieved some info from an invoice such as date, invoice, customer and total.
Now I just realized that when I change an invoice, I will be again when finished, creating another pdf file that already exists.
How can I have the second macro here changed so that it will go to ""E:LusaGenerated InvoicesINV" & Range("L17").Text & ".pdf", _" and delete this pdf file?
