Create Folder Location Lookup From Database Values?
Feb 7, 2014
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 the below code that saves selected sheets of my workbook as pdfs in the current file location. What I would like this code to be able to do is to create a new folder (named with todays date), and then save each of the pdfs into this folder.
Code: Sub SaveWorksheetsAsPDFs() Dim sFile As String Dim sPath As String Dim fPath As String Dim wks As Worksheet
I want to find the corresponding Disc Codes from a list and copy them in the DiscName column in the summary sheet. some lab names will have more than one Disc codes so when I run the macro it should bring up all the relevant Disc Codes matching with the Lab name to DiscName column.
Col 1 col 2 col 3 Lab name Disc Name(say abcd) xxxx yyyy zzzz ppppand
The list looks something like this.
Col 1 Col 2 Lab name Disc nameabcd xxxxxabcd yyyyyabcd zzzzzabcd pppppbcda qqqqqbcda rrrrrbcda iiiiibcda jjjjjbcda kkkkk
I make calculations for these projects using an excel file. In this excel I also type the projectnumber (cell J2)
Now i would like to make a button. When pressed, it checks the projectnumber cell J2, looksup the corresponding folder and saves the excelfile in PDF format in this folder.
I have found macro to find files in folders, but none which do the above.
The macro will need to import text from a file (file.out) located in iteration folders (iteration_001, etc) but I need to start by seaching the location that the excel file has been saved in.
which part of this macro I need to edit to make it open a folder I want?
Sub OpenFolderRequest() YesNo = MsgBox("Would you like to open the folder to see" _ & vbCr & "which files are currently there?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Open Folder?") Select Case YesNo Case vbYes myval = Shell("c:winntexplorer.exe c:winnt", 1) Case vbNo End Select End Sub
I have tried changing the (c:winntexplorer.exe c:winnt) to the location name of the folder I want to open (S:Stock ControlSTOCK CONTROLOrder Confirmation)but it doesn’t seem to work.
I am trying to generate a folder within a specific location (For now lets call it C:Jobs) that will be named as per the adjacent cell (Column H on attached)
Obviously if the folder already exists I want the code to stop.
But this code will have to generate a different folder for each row within the spreadsheet.
I'm trying to write a set of macros and one of the macros needs to move a folder with subfolders from P:CJ to P:WO
Now I've been using the CopyFile State. Is there something similar because in my search they talk about using FileSystemObjects and I have now clue how to use those.
I am running WinNT and need to find the folder containing the default icons available for use on buttons in the toolbar window. I can copy the image but it saves as a picture (device independent bitmap). I want to be able to send the icon to other people so they can put it in their directory and choose to select it.
I have a folder "Macro" in the below location in my PC:
C:UserskkumarDesktopMy WorksMacro
There are 4 excel files in this folder: Sales.xls, Quantity.xls, Forecast.xls and Macro.xls. Macro.xls has 3 sheets: Sales, Quantity & Forecast.
I want a macro which will pull all data in: Sheet1 of Sales.xls to "Sales" sheet of Macro.xls Sheet1 of Quantity.xls to "Quantity" sheet of Macro.xls Sheet1 of Forecast.xls to "Forecast" sheet of Macro.xls
Also one additional requirement is if I copy the Macro folder to some other location in my PC the macro should still work.
i want to use the "Browse for Folder" to select the folder where the files is in eg. E:My DocsGlobal and list the folder location and filenames to table (column I:J), and color them according to every folder location.
I would like the "Browse for Folder" windows to be able to select multiple files instead of just one file a time.
Sorry that I'm very new in Excel VBA coder. And, for this topic, I don't even know how to start. I want to make a MS Excel database of a numerous files. This database must be consist of Filename, Location, and it's attribute (let's say updated date, size, hidden status)
2. In addition to the original workbook being saved, a copy of the workbook with the current date is also saved to the specified location of my choice.
For example
"C:UsersUSER1DesktopBackup Test as of 02-10-14"
3. If a copy of the workbook is already saved with today's date, then overwrite it automatically without prompting the user.
4. All the above happens without any user interaction.

I am trying to create a 'Database' of Project Managers where by a skill can be entered into a cell and the VLookup will lookup the Project Manager that has this skill. There is the posibility that there will be more than one Project Manager with the same skill, formula so that the Lookup can return multiple values
I am seeking assistance in creating a 'database' type function within EXCEL workbook. I need to create a record of all job applications within our area and only a handful of staff have access let alone know how to use access. All are able to use spreadsheet/workbooks. Would like to be able to have entry page (i can do this fine) but I would like a search funtion that will allow staff to be able to track the progress of applications and add comments etc
I have a Skills Matrix sheet consisting of 100 rows with Employee's names and 60 columns of all possible skills.....where an employee has achieved a skill a date appears in the appropriate column .
I want the user to be able to enter a name in another sheet and for the system to show ( on that sheet ) ONLY the column headers and dates of the skills they have achieved beside that name.
I am working on a project where i am having 8 excel files saved at diffrent location so i want to create userform which will open particular file location and from that user can select the file which he want and then can go further. so i need a coding so that user will be prompt 8 times with file location. for eg. once user select particular file from location then again this code route him to select next file from file location. is it possible??
I tried using below code but in this code when i run userform file is not opening but when i run this code mannually by pressing F8 desired file is opening i dont know what is glitch in this ? another problem i am facing is not able to understand how to repeat this steps again to open another file using this code??
VB: Private Sub Commandbutton1_Click() Dim f As FileDialog Set f = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) With f
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.
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 am trying to create a cross-reference database in excel. I am not sure if I am using the correct terminology, so here is what I need to do:
I have three columns that contain text cells, each with different numbers of rows. Now imagine that cell A1 is related to cell B3 and also to cell C5. There are numerous different combinations similar to this. Is there a way to show this relationship between cells in excel. If so, how?
1. I have one sheet with all the information about my customers, such as customer name, address, mobile number and email. I have also added customer reference no...... this could act like a primary key in databases...... This is SHEET 1.
2. my other sheet, lets call it SHEET 2.... is basically a template of my quotation where at the top I need to enter the customer details such as customer name, address, mobile number and email.. Sometimes I have returning customers and I need to enter their details again and again.... it is time consuming.
Initially I would like to enter all my customers detail into SHEET 1.
When I have to create a quotation in SHEET 2, I would like to enter a customer reference number and it should bring all the data from SHEET 1 about that customer and place it into SHEET 2 (quotation template)...
I already transfer my data from database (excel.xlsm) to an old worksheet (excel.xlsx) with a table by using VBA. Now I want to make this old worksheet become a new file with new file name like yyyy/mm/dd/where. Is that possible?
I've been looking around to find a solution for my problem and as a last resort I have decided to make a post, and I will get straight to the point. I have 3 xl Files of relevance:
1 - is my "database" which consists of multiple sheets with different information in each. Each sheet is correlated with each other by one common ID. 2 - is my "template" which is 2 sheets, which functions as a report. The template serves as the Report which will be printed. The data from each row from the database can fill the spaces in the template.
3 - "the tool" xl file is where i have my macros and the mapping for the which columns from the database belong to which cells in the template.
Basically what I'm trying to get to work is: User opens Tool clicks "create Reports" and the tool should then open the database, pick the range of rows from the database put the data into the relevant cell in the template save the "template" with the info on it, close it and do it again with each row of data from the database. So if I pick rows 4 to 34 in my tool, it should create 30 xls files from the template and fill in the data from each row into each newly generated "report".
I'm working on an Excel based product. As part of the security process I would like to require the user to enter a product id key into excel. Then the spreadsheet would compare the entered value to some kind of online database to verify the id key is valid. Finally, the spreadsheet would update the online database so that the id key is no longer functional. How easy is this to do?
I know verifying that the id key is valid is fairly simple.
Here is my biggest issue: How to get Excel to update the database and of course what form would this database take. Maybe its a table on a webpage, or google docs. Again the issue is how would I be able to update the table.
