Creating Filename From Cells

Jun 8, 2009

I have a worksheet that I would like where you can just enter the date, then it builds a filename based on that.

Example. Filename I would like to load information from is
"C:EXMay 2009May 21,2009.xls"
The sheet is "Data" and the cell/row is A1

The Filename could be entered simply as
'C:ExMay 2009[May21,2009.xls]Data'!$A$1

But what I would like to do, is be able to generate a weeks worth of filenames from the date I entered.

I have one cell with the root directory (lets say A1)
A1 = C:EX
A2 = May
A3 = 21
A4 = 2009

So in cell A5 I would like to combine them all to load the information from that filename.

I tried to do something along the lines of

A5 = A1 + A2 + " " &A4 (etc etc), but that wasn't working at all.
The main reason for breaking them up is so that I could just increment the date to get a weeks worth of files.

Creating New Workbook Then Giving It A Custom Filename?

May 25, 2012

I am building a macro and am just not figuring out how to do this. I am trying to create a new workbook, then give it a name. Simple right? Well, I have the format for the file name to be "mm-dd-yy Transmittal #.xlsx" but I can't figure out how to make the # part of that equation start as 1 but if the file already exists change it to 2, if that exists, change it to 3, and so on. Here's what I have so far:

Code:
Sub Transmittal()
Dim NewBook As Workbook
Dim MyPath As String

[Code]....

I don't think I'm allowed to do "x + 1" so that is probably where my problem is coming from.

Creating A Folder And Saving In It With A Filename Taken From Cell

Mar 21, 2009

I would like excel to create the folder C:/Bill if it doesn't already exist when I click save/save as option and save the workbook in it with a filename that is a combination of text/values in cells A1 and A2 on Sheet1. Better if the save as dialog box appears with this option selected so that I have to just click Save in the save as dialog box to save it in "C:/Bill".

Countif- Created A Filename, (merging Cells Together)

Aug 22, 2007

i can do this using countif, however here's my problem

I have created a filename, (merging cells together)

What i would like to to is have the countif, use the created name, look in this file, for the criteria i set

I can do this manually, but there's a hell of alot of manual intervention involved & i would like to automate

If i was to do this manually my formula would be

=COUNTIF('G:RawProduct ManagementJen DelaneyVendor ReportsLexmarkWeekly Stock And Sales2007WK 22[WeeklyInventory-ISATradingLtd-UK-22-2007.xls]Sheet1'!$F:$F,B3)

I have automatically generated the part of

'G:RawProduct ManagementJen DelaneyVendor ReportsLexmarkWeekly Stock And Sales2007WK 22

Using various formulas, the problem lies when i try and integrate this into the countif function, it wont accept?

Basically i have a list of 6 part number, for which i need to check 10 weeks of data, 3 files for each week,

Creating Permanent Links Between Cells?

Nov 5, 2008

I am trying to use Excel to document fiber optic cables that run between different locations. Each cable has 2 ends, but whatever service is connected to one end, will also be a the other. I would like to use an Excel worksheet to represent a termination point (a "light shelf" comprised of several fiber optic cables each made up of several strands of fiber (kind of a table with the 1st 4 columns of 6 rows being cable A, and the next 8 cable B)). I would like to be able to type in the value for cable A Strand 1 and have it linked to another worksheet representing a different location (the other end) and vice versa. I have tried to paste a link, but that seems to get broken. Is there a better way to make permanent links (Excel is bawking about a circular reference, which it is as each end needs to be linked back to the other.

Creating Sheets While Referencing A New Row In Some Cells

Jul 24, 2009

I am trying to find a way to create new sheets in a workbook that when created will reference a new row on a data sheet in that workbook. Each workbook could end up containing varying numbers of sheets (anywhere from 2 to 150+) based on size limitations. There are some lookups and referenced data on each sheet that would be copied as is and not reference the data sheet. I have not included these in my example.

I'm trying to avoid having to change each cell's reference manually for all of these sheets (which is one of the solutions I've come up with so far). My current method of creating these workbooks does not involve the data sheet and each workbook starts off with data only on sheet1. I select and copy that sheet into sheet2 and every subsequent sheet. I want to incorporate the data sheet so it can be filled out by someone else and copied into that tab to populate all of the data sheets.

Creating IF Function For Blank Cells

Dec 11, 2009

first post, i'll try to make this short and to the point. i have a file that has single invoice numbers, invoice dates and invoice totals. the line does not have a vendor name. the vendor name is above the invoice lines. (see spreadsheet).

Example:
D2 = Vendor
Lines 3-10 are individual invoices

Basically, I need to setup a formula that says if a cell in Column D is blank, then select the closest cell above the blank cell. I have 65000 lines with thousands of vendors. In the end, each invoice line will now have the vendor name that it is associated with.

Creating An Array From Several Seperate Cells

Mar 5, 2008

I am trying to do is, to sum up the values in an array, given that the cell value is not an error.
If the cells were in order, the following array formula would solve it easily:
{SUM(IF(ISERROR(A1:A3),0,A1:A3))}

But my problem is that, my cells are not in order. To be more specific, I want to look at A1, B12 and C13, and sum them up with an array formula given the condition that cell value is not an error. Of course, in my case, I have too many cells.

Creating Range With Visible Cells?

Mar 29, 2013

I am trying to create a range with visible cells after filtering based on a criteria. But, facing some wierd problem with setting correct range with visible cells. Here is the code.

Code:

xlsDynRange = xlsWorksheet.Range("A1:G500")
xlsDynRange.AutoFilter(Field:=1, Criteria1:=intEmpid)
xlsFilteredRange = xlsDynRange.Range("A1:G500").SpecialCells(Excel.XLCellType.xlCellTypeVisible).Cells

Here, xlsFilteredRange.Cells.Count returns correct values. For example, for a particular filtered criteria, if there are 6 rows, it returns 42 (6 rows * 7 columns). However, xlsFilteredRange.Rows.Count always returns 1 (header row), though there are 6 rows. How can this be fixed?

Creating SQL File Based Of Cells In A Sheet

Mar 27, 2014

I have a sheet that has 5 columns as shown below, xxx represents the values within the cell that I need in each sql file.

A |B | C| D| E
test1|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
test2|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
test3|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
test4|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
test5|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|

What I am trying to do is take the context of each cell starting with B2, and place it in an Individual sql file (or text file with .sql extension) and name it A2 (so test1 in this case).

I tried creating a double for loop, one for last column, one for last row, taking each content and placing in file but I am not sure how to take the column A as the name of the file and to have 1 file per cell.

Creating Names For Multiple Individual Cells

Jun 6, 2008

I have a thing about named ranges and cells, but was wondering if there is a way to create names for multiple cells using set criteria. I think the best was to explain this is with an example that I have attached. Ideally I would like to name the individual cells in the range C3:d4 by concatenating the right column and bottom row to give one unique name. However this doesn't combine them. I have listed the names that they should be and corresponding cell in C8:D11

Creating Macro To Insert Text Into Predefined Cells

Apr 22, 2014

I had posted earlier to see if there was a way to protect certain cells from being updated when using a linked excel spreadsheet to access. Since there have been no replies I'm assuming not.

Different approach, can I create a Macro that would run after the update that would insert my required text into each cell from A2 through to R2.

The text would always be the same and always in exactly the same cells. This would need to be an insert into and not a replacement of the data already in those cells.

A1 B1 C1 D1
State
BUName
InsuranceCompanyName
Claim
ROnumber
Renter Last Name

[Code] .......

A2 B2 C2 D2
CategoryFilter CategoryFilter CategoryFilter NoFilter

The text under each of the A2, B2, C2 etc is what I would want the macro to do for me, essentially putting back what the update from the linked source removed.

Get Date From The Filename

Jun 18, 2014

I have a filename 'filename-12-14-2014' where i need to extract date information from the filename and insert a new heading in the file 'date' in the first column and write the extracted date till the end (until data exists). I can write the new column name but i could not write date in all the fields. code i wrote is below

this is for extracting date from the filename. the 4th lines throws me the error?

(1) LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
(2) With Range("A2:A" & LastRow)
(3) x = Split(s, "- ", 2)
(4) .Value = Left(Mid(x(1), InStr(x(1), "-") + 1), InStr(Mid(x(1), InStr(x(1), "-") + 1), ".") - 1)
(5) .NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yy"

for adding the date in the first column. This works fine

Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Date"
s = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Range("A2").Select
