Copying Range From Personal File?
Apr 25, 2014
What I need to do is put data that I get on a variery of excel speadsheets into a standard template. I can do this by the process of copying over column by column the appropriate detail from one workbook to the other.
what I'd like to do is replicate the column headings of the template onto the workbook with the original data so I'm looking at just one workbook all the while until I'm ready to transfer all the data in one go.
I realise I can just copy from the template to the active workbook, but what I had in mind was having the ability to hit a button to replicate it associated with a macro.
So the macro I'd want would involve starting from a cell in the active workbook, obtaining a named range from my personal workbook (which would be the template headings) and then pasting this back into the active cell of the active workbook.
And if it is feasible...how would I get it to work (taking into consideration the Personal workbook may be hidden).
the only code i have at the moment is
Workbooks("PERSONAL.XLSB").Worksheets(1).Range("MODELTEMPLATE").Copy
But how would I get this to paste onto the cell I start with?

I am having a problem that shouldn't be that hard to fix, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have a file in the xlstart folder, called "personal.xls" with macros in it. The security level is at low, it isn't on the disabled list, and it won't automatically open when excel opens. If I double click on it, it opens. It just won't open when excel is first started. Is there any way to correct this?

I created a macro and saved it into the Personal.xls file and originally the file stayed hidden whenever I ran the macro. I changed a setting somewhere and now when I run the macro the file opens up and stays open until I close it.
How can I have the file stay hidden when I run the macro?

I'm using Excel 2003. I've got two different .XLS files, each with multiple sheets.
I'm trying to create a macro which will copy a range of cells from one sheet on one .XLS file (which is closed) to a specific place on a specific sheet on the current .XLS file (which is open).
So for the sake of argument:
I've got two Excel files: C:ApplesOldFile.xls and C:OrangesNewFile.xls
OldFile.xls is closed -- NewFile.xls is open and in front of me.
I'm trying to copy the data in ranges B6:C41 and F6:F41 from Sheet2 in OldFile.xls to the same ranges on Sheet6 in NewFile.xls. There are no formulas in these cells -- just data (numbers).
I keep getting error messages, failures to copy to clipboard, etc.

I have created a simple macro that inserts a header onto a sheet on the first row of a workbook. It works fine when the macro is stored in the file that I am wanting to paste the header into, but when I moved the macro to my "personal" folder it gives me a debug error with this code:
Code:
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Bid Sheet").Rows("1:1").Insert Shift:=xlDown
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Bid Sheet").Columns("K:K").ColumnWidth = 50
I am assuming this error is being caused by the phrase "ThisWorkbook" but I do not know how else to reference the workbook I want to run the macro on.
Full Code:
Sub Insert_Header()Dim wb As Workbook'Open Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("C:NewPage_Logo.xlsm", UpdateLinks:=False)
'Go out to File and copy logo and header
[Code] ........

I have an excel template that needs to be copied multiple times and each sheet needs be named according to a list in an excel spread sheet. I also have a formula in the template that needs the value copied instead of the formula.
I got this script from an site and tried it. It runs but I don't see any spread sheets.
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject ("winmgmts:\" & strComputer & "
ootcimv2")

I have been asked to fix a macro that is supposed to search column B and find any cells ending with .mov. Any row fitting the criteria is to be copied to Sheet2. The file is a internet traffic log and we are trying to determine the number of downloads we have on our video files, which are all .mov format. Sheet1 can exceed 3000 rows.
Here's what I have so far:

I want to copy the sheet named "data" from closed workbook (xlsm, xlsx, xls) via ADO.The closed workbook will be choosen by user via dialog box. The code must check the existence of "data" sheet. If there is no, then the code must give a warning. Futhermore, which is able to give a warning against the mistake of selecting the file itself.

I currently have a code that copies (when both workbooks are open) the status report tab from one workbook to another. So, my code copies the entire "Status" tab from Report.12102012.xlsx to Master_Report.xlsx.
But, there will continually be new Report.(DATE).xlsx files that are being made and I would like for my code to be able to search for the newest date "Report" spreadsheet, open it (so employee doesn't have to find the newest spreadsheet), and then copy the "Status" tab to my Master_Report.xlsx file.
All of the "Report.(DATE).xlsx" files will be stored in the same folder.

I have a database that needs breaking down in order to fulfill a request.
I've been trying to create a macro to copy one row to a new workbook (starting from row 3), file name save as a value of the cell (C1), and move onto the next row. However, my code appears to only loop through 26 entries and then stops.
Code:
Dim row As Long
Dim refname
row = 3

I have about 100 files with using date as file name (ie. 08.20.07.xls, 08.21.07.xls, 08.22.07.xls....etc) Each file contain exact same # of fields (Columns) but varying number of rows. I would like to have a macro in my "Consolidated.xls" file to go through each file and put them into a single sheet with the first column as date field (source file name)
Example:
08.20.07.xls contains
First Name Last Name DOB
John Doe 11/1/77
Jane Doe 12/1/78

I have an external file that is a table with 4 columns and about 25 rows
I would like to copy the contents of a file into a collection so I can analyze the data.
The problem is, I only know how to copy a whole line as a string and have no idea how to copy the data from the same line into different variables.
I also have no idea how to define a collection array
I will explain
say my text (data.txt) file looks like this:
AB 0.5 20 2/2/07
CD 0.2 15 2/2/07
FE 0.4 40 2/2/07
(example of input)
I would like to create a collection called trade which I have defined like this (obviosly wrongly)
Dim Trade() As Collection
Dim bs As String
Dim quant As Long
Dim price As Single
Dim calendar As String
Trade.Add (bs)
Trade.Add (quant)
Trade.Add (price)
Trade.Add (calendar)
so I would like to know how to define the collection array and how to input the data so that I don't have to insert a whole line into a string variable but can, instead break apart the line during the input stage

I have a macro that copies long decimals (11 places) from an Excel file to a CSV file. However, the long decimals often get truncated from 11 places down to 3 or 4. I've tried a number of different coding methods to combat this, the most recent and most successful of which is shown below
Application.Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:...2008_alldata.csv"
Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
Application.Goto Reference:="AllDataTable"
Selection.Copy
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
Application.Goto Reference:="R1C1"
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Range("R2:BI5000").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "#,##0.00000000000"
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWindow.Close savechanges:=False
However, sometimes this method also fails. Is there a better way anyone knows of to ensure that the entire decimal is copied?

I am using Excel 2007, here's my question:
I just wrote two macros that each produce separate text files (call them 'A' and 'B'). I want to open 'B' with Excel VBA, copy all of its contents, and paste that content into 'A' right after a specific location in 'A' (where I have 10 consecutive asterisks, i.e., **********).
Most topics relating to Excel VBA and .txt files have to do with either importing / exporting into Excel (not what I want), or with associating .txt files to Excel (also not what I want).

How to copy a formula (16 columns) from a workbook to another, without referencing the source workbook.
Some people are using tricks such as replacing the equal sign "=" for another character such as "^" then using replace all to put the equal sign back again... but this is too much trouble.

How do I write a vb macro that copies everything from multiple files, including sheets within files, and puts them into one master file. Here's what I have so far. I used a script from gnaga that worked great but it didn't copy seperate sheets. If you can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have about a thousand Excel timesheets that all contain 'hours worked' data in a column. Each row contains the area of the project they have worked on and therefore the amount of time they have spent on it. The timesheets also contain the person's name and a w/e date.
I want to sequentially work through each timesheet held locally in a single folder and copy the person's name, w/e date and the hours held in the column into a single new spreadsheet. I need to transpose the data so each amount of time spent on an activity ends up in a column.
I have attempted to record a macro for this but each time I try and run it after the intitial run, it moves to a completely different cell or set of cells to the ones I have directed it and consequently there is no data copied to the new sheet.
I believe this is the first problem..! The second is working through a high number of spreadsheets held in a single locattion but whilst browsing this site I saw the "Excel VBA Loop Through a Folder of Excel Workbooks" page and think this should work fine.

I have an master excel file with 20 sheets with names x,y,z,a,b,c,f,.... Each and every sheet has data which start from Row 7 and Column 2. Now i need to consolidate this data in one sheet in another excel file.
Consolidation should be like
Suppose X sheet has 20 rows and 4 columns of data which starts from Row 7 and Column 2, this data has to be copied and pasted in my new excel file copied on my desktop. Now first 20 rows are occupied in new excel file.
Now code should move on to master excel file Sheet Y which has 45 rows and 4 columns of data which starts from Row 7 and Column 2,this data has to be copied and pasted in my new excel file from row 21, which means Master excel file sheets has to be clubbed to one consolidated excel file.
In All the sheets in Master file Data starts from Row 7 and column 2.
Data range varies row wise in each sheet but column length is fixed to 4.

I am trying to develop a code which extracts the data from text files inside a folder (Folder test in my desktop) into one sheet. The Macro is in the workbook “Text Extract” which is an excel 2007 file. The data of each text should be copied to Sheet1 of this workbook one below the other. For testing purpose I have kept only one text file in the folder and was trying to copy the data from the text data extracted sheet to Cell A1 of Sheet1 of workbook “Text Extract”. The code works fine till copying the data, but shows below error in the line “Selection.Paste”:
Run time error 438: Object doesn’t support this property or method.
Below is the code:
Sub LoopThroughFiles()
Dim strFile As String
Dim strPath As String

I have an Excel file that contains formulas that reference external workbooks on a shared network. Each month, I copy the column of formulas over to the next month's column. Then, to update the file path, I highlight the new column and do a Find-and-Replace, swapping the previous month's name for the current month. This practice works fine. The only thing is ... the "Open File" promptbox appears for each formula where I updated the file path (i.e. and this can be hundreds instances!). I wind-up having to choose the file from the exact same file path. It is an unnecessary, and annoying extra step to take.

I have a spreadsheet set up that keeps a running total of the money in my checking account. I've set up the "balance" column to only display the balance if the "debit" or "credit" columns have data. For example:
credit debit balance
3.00 12.00
2.00 10.00
5.00 15.00
______________
15.00
This way I have space to add more entries, without having to copy the formula in the "balance" column every time I add an entry (or have my balance copied all the way down the column when there are no entries that alter it). However, the problem I'm encountering is displaying the balance at the very bottom (underneath the line). I would imagine I need to somehow look up the last value in a range in the "balance" column, but am unsure of how to proceed.

After using =Char(Mid(A1, 15, 1)), =Char(Mid(A1, 16, 1)), =Char(Mid(A1, 17, 1)), ... a few hundred times in years past, I made a form and wrote some code to list the contents of a cell in binary. It's been handy.
I recently added support for Unicode, so it may not be fully cooked (or maybe reheated), and double-width Unicode characters are problematic.
In addition to adding the attached form to the workbook, this needs to go in a code module.
