I need some help, I know very little about macros but is it possible to create folders/directories to a certain path using the text in an excel spreadsheet cell? For example, if cell a2 has a street address and cell b2 has a city, can it automatically create a directory in the path of my choice using that data? If yes, can it go down the the rows and create directories until it is done?
Please help as I have hundreds of directories to create.
I'm trying to save a spreadsheet using VBA which will also check that the directory exists and create it if not, all based on cell values in my spreadsheet. When I run my code it comes up with Run Time Error 76: Path not found.
Dim fname As String, dname As String, dname2 As String
fname = ActiveSheet.Range("E2").Value
dname = ActiveSheet.Range("G2").Value
dname2 = ActiveSheet.Range("H2").Value
Windows("Register Template.xls").Activate
ChDir ("H:")
If Len(Dir(dname2, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir dname2
End If
ChDir dname2
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname
I would like to create a series of folders in explorer using a range of cells A1:A162 for the names of the folders. Wondering if there is a way that I can automate this using VBA versus doing it manually .
I've made a macro that would create some folders on a shared drive.
there is an issue if the path i want to create is too long.
I get this error.

is there anything we can do to pass this or any solution for it?
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 folders with different assigned folder icons based on the content in the folders.
I would like to arrange these folders in the window based on the assigned folder icons and then by alphabetical order.
How it is to be done. Can we make use of vba having the folders path list in one column of excel sheet?
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 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.

ThisFile = Range("B3").ValueMkDir "C:NewFolder"ChDir "C:NewFolder"ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFileEnd Sub
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?

I am trying to create CSV files from Excel spreadsheet for each tab. But when I convert these CSV files, text in cell is limiting to 255 characters, in otherwords it is getting truncated after 255characters. I am using Excel 2003 version.
And also when convereted these windows CSV files to UNIX csv files using the command "DOS2UNIX", some charaters becoming special characters. For exmaple, I have the actual text as "If AEENDTC ne '' then do; " and is becoming "If AEENDTC ne æÆ then do; " Do you have any idea why it is doing this.

I have a spreadsheet that I need to add new rows everytime I have a new client. I a formula in the N column and a formula in the F column that I would like to automatically insert itself into the new rows.
The problem is this: I have arranged my table so that I can look at clients alphabetically, and according to other date... BUT now it wont let me insert a new row when I have a new client!!!
Is there anyway of keeping it so that I can insert a new row into my table, but preserve all of the formulas that I want automatically put into both the F and N column?
Attached is the sample spreadsheet.
I think I'm just missing something obvious here but I want to calculate commission based on £1 Plus 10% of Hammer Price. That bit's easy but I need it to ignore the hammer price if blank. In other words if I leave the hammer price empty, at the moment the sheet adds £1 to the commission cell.
In Summary:-
F3 is Hammer Price
K3 is Commission (=(F3*.1)+1)
K3 should NOT state £1 if F3 is empty
Currently I'm working on functionality in my staff holiday spreadsheet and I've come up with this amazing idea for a calendar overview for month by month.Now the sheets I currently have is summary and jan to dec.
I plan on adding the sheets Jan (Cal) to Dec (Cal) now this is when my idea gets nifty - The calendar view will import the information from the month table and will show it on the calendar.
For example X has 1 holiday in July for the 20th - this will show up on the calendar as "x on holiday", I'm still working with spreadsheets so I'm not sure if excel is powerful enough to do this - but is this actually possible?
Is there a way to make a simple text analyser that will return the number of times each word is used in a sentence or paragraph within a cell?
I use excel to write short paragraphs to upload onto social network sites and I would like a formula or program that tells me how many times each word has been used over a number of cells, to avoid repetition. Is there a way to do this?
I have set up a spreadsheet but need to add a tick box, I just need to tick it once the item has been completed.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am a personal loans officer and have created a worksheet to input a range of information about an application. The information is personal details and details about the loan. The data I input runs down Column D [with line breaks to seperate the answers into categories] with the question beside it in Column C.
I do this for every new application as I use it for reporting on my loans as well as mail merge to produce documents for the loan.
Currently I am doing one per loan but would like to have a button at the bottom of the page that once clicked, it will push the data onto another worksheet so that all my loans for that month are on the one spreadsheet. The data will be pushed onto a row, not a column, but it will also need to find the next available row to put the data on.
Once the button is clicked, the first worksheet will clear ready for the next loan to input and the data will transfer to the 2nd spreadsheet. And, if possible, on the first sheet will be a drop down list of all the current loans so I can recall any application details to the first sheet if needed to update details. So if the 'loan number inputed' already exists, it wont create a new line on the 2nd spreadsheet, but will know just to update the fields.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am creating a spread sheet with a large amount of data.
In column a I have a list of managers, in B I have a list of employees and C, I have a list of activities that have been recorded throughout the day.
What I want to do is create a list (on a new sheet) so in column A that would bring back all the managers. Then in column B, bring back the employee that is tied to the manager from column A and finally in column C, bring back the activity that is tied to the employee.
I know how I can do this by doing list validation with INDIRECT, but with the large amount of data that I have this would take forever in a day.
Is there an easier and quicker way to do this?

I have two spreadsheets of data I export regularly from an outside source. I want to consolidate the data from these two sheets into one large sheet with all the data in a more concise form bringing in only the data related to certain parts I am conducting analysis on. I have a list of these parts already. My first thought on how to do this would be to use the list in an entry for an input box and have that list be the index for a for loop in which i searched for a part code, copied the entire corresponding row, and pasted it back into the master sheet. I have gone through and tried to do this but I am running into problems because sometimes I have multiple rows of data that correspond to a single part number. I have attached a template of the way that the data should look in the master file with the multiple rows of details that correspond to just one part entry.
Here's the spreadsheet I am talking about : [URL]
So as you can see each row = one day divided in 2 cycles of 12 hours : every 12 hours the cat gets a new injection of insulin (the columns "U" being the number of units of insulin the cat receives)
Now I want to turn this sheet into two different curves that would look like these : [URL]
As you can see the first graph shows data based on days (x) and insulin dose (y), while the second curves shows data based on days (x), and blood glucose values (y). This is basically the only way we could clearly see how the cat's disease is evolving over a long period of time.
If he had just started to take all these values from his cat I guess it would be simple to do, but since he already has a lot of data entered in his spreadsheet, I was wondering if I could use this data (and not write each number in a new document), to make things a little more simple and to avoid mistakes.
I want to create a spreadsheet for figuring the cost of some of my favorite recipes. Right now I have a table of basic ingredients (milk, sugar, etc) along with cost of same.
What I want to do is be able to set up a recipe that calls for "3 eggs, 1 sugar, 1 milk" and automatically figure the cost for me.
Ideally, I'd like this to be a "building block" spreadsheet - where I can have a recipe for "roux" (1 flour, 1 butter), and then a recipe for "broth" (1 chicken, 3 water), and then a recipe for "gravy" (1 roux, 2 broth) - where the spreadsheet is smart enough to do the math for me - and if the price of chicken goes up, I can change that in my basic list and it will carry down. And obviously, I want to be able to add ingredients and recipes easily.

I am trying to attempt to create a payroll spreadsheet with certain aspects and with multiple worksheets. so what im trying to accomplish is this
1/ on my main worksheet would have the payroll template there would be 2 columns (1) would be "routes" (2) would be the dollar value of that route.
2/ i want to be able to pick from a drop down list in colume (1) which will have various routes such as A,
B, C, D, E etc
3/ once i have selected a route in colum (1) i want to have the dollar value that is associated to that route to show up in column (2)

create a dropdown list but thats about it, i have not been able to link any values together.
I am trying to build a complex equation that has multiple parameters filled by several choices from several different dropdown menus.
For instance:
I'm building a set of 5 dropdown menus, that each lead to filling certain boxes with a number created from a formula. I've provided a small sample to explain what I'm trying to do.
My problem is, I'm unsure of how to make it so certain drop down menus affect the information inside of the next. Like, I want to have someone select "Oscar" under the characters, and have the "Lances" list come up in the Weapons column menu. I don't want the Weapons menu to be selectable in any way unless a "Character" has been selected.
I have about 20 plus workbooks in a folder. Each has 52 sheets, Fridays date, that I want to copy all the data from each sheet.

I'm trying to gather the info and make a small data base from the various books. I'd like not to have to call each workbook by name as the file names change or get added to.
