Create New Folders In Variable Location
Oct 17, 2006
I would like to create new empty folders from the list in column B.
The number of folders will vary depending on how many entry in column B.
I need the folders to be created in an existing folder in the "current directory" called "Shop_Drawings".
The following code may be able to be modified.
Sub CreateFolders()
Dim MyFile As String
Dim sDir As String
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheets("Matdata").Range("B2")
While rng.Value <> ""
MyFile = rng.Text
sDir = "CurDirShop_Drawings" & MyFile
''above is where I am having trouble...don't know the correct syntax''
MkDir sDir
Set rng = rng.Offset(1)
Wend
End Sub
I have attached a sample workbook.
I have been getting by with code which requires changing the destination in the module whenever making folders in different diectories or drives.

I am attempting to create a macro that will create a new folder on the network drive Arie:quotes that will create the new folder and save the the file in the new folder. I need the name of the file and folder to be set to the master (worksheet) cell "B3". and then if possible have it be conditional that if cell "B40" on the same master (worksheet) has a value to have the value added at the end of the filename via hyphen. This workbook has numerous worksheets in it approx 15 worksheets. I am not sure if this is relevant.
As an brief example.
Cell "B3" on the master(worksheet) contains a job name I-40 bridge
So initially I would like the Folder name and file name to be I-40 Bridge
However once the Cell "B40" has been filled in with the value 54213 then I would like the file to renamed to I-40 Bridge-54213 and saved within the same folder.
I am currently working with Excel 2007 Pro edition on windows 8. I
I have found several other macro's that work with an auto save but i am unsure of how to change the directory to the network drive and show the correct file paths. This is the example of the macro I am currently working with.
Public Sub SaveAsA1()
ThisFile = Range("B3").ValueMkDir "C:NewFolder"ChDir "C:NewFolder"ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFileEnd Sub

I want to open C:Projects
and for each Project in Projects, create a new folder with the actual month (e.g. "03" or "12")
Im running the Makro from a file where I'd like to put the month in a cell -> so the code refers to cell("A1") wich has value 01 and creates a folder "01" in every projectfolder in C:Projects

I am trying to develop a spreadsheet that will calculate a cost based on a matrix. I am attaching a sample of the calculation created so far. The end result is in cell M13 and is highlighted in yellow. I kind of layed the formula out in a few different cells, so hopefully it would be easy to follow.
simplify this process with maybe another formula that I might not be aware of, or maybe show me how to get this done in VB code. I think VB code would be the correct way to go just not sure.

I have a silly little sheet that i am trying to create to help me create a lot of folders on my pc. The sheet will basically make a consecutive group of folders that list out a 7 day period and a week number.
The problem i am having is trying to paste the special values of the dates in a group of cells, and then using those values to create my multiple sets of folders. I do not know how to get around it using the 5-digit date codes when it creates the folders.

way to create a group of folders in a specific location using a list of cells from an XLS file as the folder names.
For example, it would take whatever text is in Cell A1 and create a new folder in a specified location. It would take the text in Cell A2 and create a new folder in the same specified location. Etc.

I have created an appointment schedule spreadsheet. Once I get the spreadsheet running smoothly, I would like to create a worksheet for every day of the year that we are open.
I have decided to have one main folder with 26 subfolders in it. In each of those 26 subfolders, there will be one workbook with 12 worksheets in it. That will be two weeks worth of appointments as we are open Mon-Sat. Of course I want to name the worksheet tabs at the bottom of the workbook according to the appropriate calendar date. Then there is also a cell at the top of each page that also has the date, the same as the date on the tab. Just wondering if there is a simple way to create a macro to rename all these worksheet tabs, or if I have to physically open up each workbook, and rename all the worksheet tabs according to the calendar date. Then once the worksheet tab is named, can you make it automatically put the same date into Cell A1?

I have a list of file names sans extension in column A. I want to search a folder I specify and if file is found create a hyperlink to said file either in a new cell or in column A.
The code I have does the search fine, but its hyperlinking is offset and I can’t get it to match the link to the file name.
Also it breaks if it can not find the file.
Here is the code...

I have attached a workbook that creates new folders based on text in a cell.
As you can see when the button is pressed it runs the macro which when it is done calls the next & so on.
What I would like to know is there a way of acheiving the same results with a single macro.
Eg column A contains 4 cells with text. The macro when run will check for cell content then create folder based on that text macro will stop when next cell is empty.

My problem is to create a macro that will list all folders, subfolders and files in an order in excel. So that I know which folders and files belong to which main folder, more like a hierarchy.
For example,
Sourcefolder
Subfolder 1
File1
I have code that list all files in folders and subfolders, but it does not put them in a hierarchy fashion.

I had a quick question for something that should be simple but I can't figure it out. I have a column of sorted values, it goes
A
A
A
A
A
B
B
B
B
B
and I want to insert a row to separate the A's from the B's. But there will be a random number of A's. I can figure out how to count where the A's end. But I can't figure out how to insert a row. Any suggestions? I tried the two below but they don't seem to work. The for section is counting the A's, and it works, it's what comes next that's giving me a headache!

I need to back up files, which may be excel or MSword, by copying them from different directories, say C: to the backup directory, say X:. any vba to backup the files? I expect the vba can copy all file listed in column A.
E.g. C: est1File1.xls or C: est2File2.doc, and then pasted to the directory in column B. e.g. X:BackupFolder1 or X:BackupFolder2.

I have an issue with the below code:
VB:
LastRow1 = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.count
ActiveSheet.Range("R1:R" & LastRow1).FormulaR1C1 = _
"=IF(RC[-1]<>"""",HLOOKUP(RC[-1],Sheet2!R60:R61,2,FALSE),"""")"
The issue I have is that in sheet2 the HLOOKUP range i want to lookup will not always be in R60:R61 these rows vary depending on the amount of data above this range... is there a way of incorporating some sort of
VB : LastRow = ActiveSheet.Range("B" & Rows.count).End(xlUp).row + 1
To locate the bottom of the data and the start of the HLOOKUP range?? if is there some way of re-coding it?

way to store a cell's location to variables.
Something like:
int a, b
Cell(a, b) = ActiveCell
I'm currently working with a fairly large worksheet, and I'm using Cells. Find to look for a specific cell. Then I want to Filter that column, but I can't figure out what column Selection.AutoFilter Field:=? should be.

macro and I think this has me on my way; however, I do not understand the code and I am having difficulty modifying it. It returns the path in cell $A1 of my workbook, but I get reference errors in $B1:$L1.
I would like for the code to start entering the values in row 2 of my current worksheet. Row 1 I want to make a header row. The first column I like having the file path. Can the path be changed to a hyperlink? I would then like for it to return the values in $AP1:$BC1 to $B1:$O1 of my current workbook.

I have managed to get this far - I have put together a macro (from different threads on this site) that opens closed workbooks, copies data in one of the sheets (same sheet in each of 28 books), and pastes the data it into a master book sheet, each paste starting below the last. So that bit is working. The first bit of help I need is a line of code that will make the macro loop through a number of sub folders in a main folder. My code at the moment works as long as I specify a path that ends with the name of one subfolder, and it only loops through this subfolder. I would like the path to end at the folder that holds all the subfolders ('Workbooks' in the path below), and then add some code that tells it to apply the macro to all subfolders in this folder, so it loops through them all.
The second issue is that after the macro goes to the closed book(s), copies the data in there and pastes it into the master sheet (into columns E:FG), I then need it to go back to the workbook it just copied from, go the same sheet, to three specific cells on that sheet (FH1:FH3), copy the content, go back to the master sheet, and now repeatedly paste the content (values only and transposed) of these three cells into three cells (in columns B:D, with row number being dependent on what rows the first lot of data was copied into) next to every row it just previously pasted in for me. When it loops to the next workbook, it needs to do the same, and the three cells will have different content than the ones in the previous workbook paste.
I dont know how to define the range it needs to paste into the second time. I tried using the definition I used for the first paste (MCDrow), to tell it that it is the same rows, just different columns, but this is not working.
Here is what I have so far, which does the first part of what I need, except for needing a way to have it loop through all subfolder in the 'Workbooks' folder (at the moment it lists Barwon South West as a subfolder in that path, but I actually have multiple subfolders, not all called Barwon South (all different names) that it needs to loop through and do both the first and the second paste for. I have taken out the code I was trying to use to do the second paste, as this was not working and the code is pretty messy as it is (I sort of bumble along, being so new, and I know the code is not very clean or efficient!).
Can someone help me put in the few lines I need to loop through all my subfolders (if you give me an example I can probably extrapolate), but to get you started, three of the subfolders are Barwon South West, Eastern Region and Gippsland. And can someone help me put in the code that will do the second paste for each workbook?
Sub Click2()
Application. ScreenUpdating = True
Dim MCDrow As Long
'Dim SubFolders As String
MCDrow = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Client Data").Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
Fpath = "Q:Clinical ServicesCS Statewide DatabaseWorkbooksBarwon South West" ' change to your directory
'SubFolders = True
Fname = Dir(Fpath & "*.xls")
Do While Fname <> ""
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Client Data").Unprotect
Workbooks.Open Fpath & Fname
Worksheets("Client Data").Activate
Worksheets("Client Data").Unprotect

Basically I want to have a macro to loop through and make all the pie charts for each location but only for the top 10 of each location.
I also want the legend to be more precise for example, for London the first one in the legend should show:
Column C + "-" + Column I + "-" + Column J
Which would be: London - Rol9 -13
Instead of it being: London data rol9 13
Attached is the document in question where I've made the graphs manually : Example_Pies.xlsx‎

Excel 2003 > Attached is a small model of what I am trying to accomplish. Cells B2 and B4 contain the same formula … a formula that calls a simple function. The function has a variable passed to it … and the value of that variable changes depending on the location of the cell. Now, see the function in Module1 … it is called CellCalc. If the variable passed = Jim then value = 3. If the variable passed = Jack then value = 8. That is straightforward.
Note also that when Sheet1 is activated, I calculate the cells from left to right and top to bottom … that is important. Here is the challenge. If B2 > 1 then I want to add B2 to B4 and set B2 to 1. I can set B4 properly but I cannot reset B2. You can see my 2 attempts that are commented out. Is there some way of accomplishing this … or am I simply stuck in a circular reference?
The alternative to this is to write a function that operates externally on these cells. That will work for sure but then the values of the calculations will overwrite the functions in those cells, thereby taking away the dynamic nature of this application.

I have a template for information that needs uploaded into a database via CSV. This database is then access via a HTML front end. As part of this there is a 'folder structure' with in the front end. This is displayed in a database table (See attached excel file for example data structure)
Currently I have this feeding into a drop down list which is somewhat cumbersome so want to make it more efficient and easier to use. I had toyed with the idea of adding more columns into the excel template and split the string up to populate however this isnt exactly professional looking.
My current thinking is, is there a way of putting this data into a listbox which is easy to navigate? Ideally in a folder tree navigation structure, I know this is possible for a windows folder structure

I have a table of information with location codes as the column headers. Each location has from 1 to 6 codes associated with it.
I want to create a new table that displays the information by location instead of code, i.e. adding all of the codes for a location into one column for that location.
I'm hoping the example will make this clearer.
On the main page, I am trying to add in the wa column all of the columns in the raw page that have a code associated with wa as the header.
To make this more complex, I can't use vba on this one.
the only thing I've got so far is a very long, very complex formula that adds together numbers generated from index/matching each entry in the second table.
something like this.
(edit changing 1:1 to $1:$1)
=IF(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,2,FALSE)=0,0,INDEX(sample.xls!main_table,ROW(),MATCH(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,2,FALSE),raw!$1:$1,0)))+IF(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,3,FALSE)=0,0,INDEX(sample.xls!main_table,ROW(),MATCH(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,3,FALSE),raw!$1:$1,0)))+IF(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,4,FALSE)=0,0,INDEX(sample.xls!main_table,ROW(),MATCH(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,4,FALSE),raw!$1:$1,0)))+IF(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,5,FALSE)=0,0,INDEX(sample.xls!main_table,ROW(),MATCH(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,5,FALSE),raw!$1:$1,0)))+IF(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,6,FALSE)=0,0,INDEX(sample.xls!main_table,ROW(),MATCH(VLOOKUP(B$1,lookup1,6,FALSE),raw!$1:$1,0)))
It works, but its horribly ugly, and if the number of locations goes higher (we could be looking at going to ten location codes for one of our locations) then I'll actually exeed the 1000 characters per formula limit!

I have data in E6-E67 on Sheet 1. Based on the date in A2 on that sheet, I need to paste to a column in Sheet 2. In excel, I am able to get the cell location through vlookup and get the correct column number/cell reference. When it gets to the paste location, I am stumped on how to format that line of code? Do I need sometime of variable? I tried to use the address/lookup code but it does not work.

I have been trying to create a macro in excel to chart a selection of data and to output the chart on the active sheet where the data was taken (as opposed to a named sheet). So basically, I have about 300 worksheets with data, and I would like to have a button on each page that automatically charts that data when clicked, and outputs the chart to the page where the macro was clicked. However, I have not been able to figure out a relative reference that will allow me to make the LocationasObject reference simply the ActiveSheet as opposed to a specifically named sheet. See my code below, which references an output to a worksheet called "Charts". Right now, all of my charts are outputting to the sheet called "Charts", as opposed to the active sheet.
Sub ConsDiscChart()
ActiveCell.Offset(29, 11).Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1:B1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Range("A1:C24").Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Charts"
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False

I am creating a macro to automate data analysis for work, but I've become stuck.
I need to find the coordinate of the first cell in a column with word "reserved" or "extended" contained in the cell, and then assign the row number of that coordinate as a variable to use for moving data around. Basically, I want something like VLOOKUP, but instead of returning a value, I want it to return the coordinate.

I need to create a new variable according to the formula:
Suma( Foreign_Owenrship_Plant * Number of Full Time Employees)/ Suma(All Full Time employees in the sector)!
However previosly I need to filter the firms within a sector within a country according to a three digit ISIC code. Lets say in Albania, in year 2002 in the Transport sector there are 5 groups of 3 digit ISIC codes. Once I have filtered them then I can proceed with calculating the new variable. How can I do this using programming?
