Entering Current Folder Into A Cell
Oct 29, 2013
I have been looking for a way to enter the folder where the excel file is located into a cell.
I have seen you can add the whole path (=CELL("filename") ), however I am only wanting the 'last' folder it is in. For Example:
C:docsfolderdataClass D4John WayneProfile.xlsx
Would enter "John Wayne" into cell. The cell is namely the "name" cell.
I work in a school and a teacher is wanting a couple of different excel files for each student (600 students) I am hoping that I can put the files in a folder with the students name as the folder. That way at least its only 600 names and not 600x7! The other details are similar on a lot of the files such as class (this is also one of the folders in the path).

I have a vba script that matches a date on two sheets then copies a formula based on the location of the date, the problem I am having is how can I refer to the activecell and active column without typing them manually as the range will change each day. See vba script below:
VB:
Sub find_date()
Dim FindString As String
Dim Rng As Range
[Code]......

How to query the current folder location in VBA?
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.

I'm running a macro that intially opens an input box where you specify the filepath and name of a .ped file to import into the macro. The default path of H:BOM2.ped may not always be the path I use. It may be just H:.ped or H:Bom1.ped.
HTML INITIAL CHECK
Response = MsgBox(".............do you want to import BOM data?", vbYesNo)
Do Until Response = vbNo
'SELECT RAW FILE
Dim Message, Title, Default, MyValue
Message = "Please Enter PathFile Name for Source File"
Title = "Create CHINA INSPECTION REPORT(s)" ' Set Title.
Default = "H:BOM2.ped" ' Set Default.......

What's a proper way - in Excel VBA - to get the current folder *without* the preceding folders/path?
For example from folder "C:oracleora81sqlplusdemo" I'd like to retrieve "demo".
Currently I have:
Code:
DirNames = Split(ThisWorkbook.Path, "")
CurrentFolder = = DirNames(UBound(DirNames))
It works, but I suspect something exists specifically for this one.

I have this formula that opens the current folder where my file is stored:
=HYPERLINK(MID(CELL("filename"),1,FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1),"Open Current Folder")
This works fine. I'd like it to open the folder one level up from the current folder, but I really don't understand formulas well enough to know if this is even possible.

I recorded a macro to save a workbook to a specific folder using the current file name. However, I've tried to remove the absolute reference to a specific filename but it is not working for me. Am I close?
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _

, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False

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
[Code] ........

I have this existing macro which saves each tab into a separate excel file. However, I'd like for it to also save them together in a new folder using the current month and date (named: QA Files May_05.06.14). The month and date would change according to current month/date. How would I incorporate that into this code? I am not good with macros.
Sub tabname()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Activate
ws.Name = Range("D1").Value
Next
[Code]...

I have a report send to me daily. And I want to have a macro to save this report in the daily folder, such as “c:
eports8052008”, so tomorrow 's folder would be “c:eports8062008”.
All the daily folders already exist. Just need to change the file path. I tried some codes including sPath and format(now(), “mmddyyyy”), get error message.

In sub which will convert file to PDF and save it to assigned folder and then attach it to email in outlook. All works fine.
However is is possible to modify the code to save fole to respective month folder ( as per current date and year)?
e.g. I have created folder Named 'Trial' in C drive . This has sub folders 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 Each year folder will have sub-sub folders month wise like This has sub folders as Jan , Feb , Mar , Apr .... till Dec Now e.g. if date when the pdf was created is 23/4/14 then it is saved in C:Trials2014Apr automatically. Currently every year I keep creating new folders etc... bit primitive though.

I’m working on a project using Microsoft Excel 2010 and I want to add some features to facilitate saving and retrieving files process.
1.How can I save the daily created workbooks (Assume 15 files a day) in order to contain the current date (and time if possible) linked with certain cell(s) I have at my workbook forming the file name? (XYZ 2-4-2014) and/or (ABC 2-4-2014 23:11) and so on …
2.I’ve been through some other posts and I found VB code which saves the active file into specific path, but it is only useful for single workbook because multiple files are getting overwritten automatically. Is there a code which allows multiple/different files saving & creates daily folders?

I have alot of project folders on my harddrive.
All in format: I:/12345-costumer-projectname/
The five digits are unique for each project.
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.

In some of my formulas, I need to re-enter the contents of the cell in order for a formula to compute.
For example, I am doing some math on a cell whose original contents are "10:21:00 AM" The formula returns a #NUM!. If I retype 10:21 in the cell and hit enter, the formula will now calculate properly. I have reformatted the entire column several times so that it is a custom hh:mm format. The original content also shows as time so I don't think that it is a formatting issue.
My worksheet has about 20,000 rows and this only happens for about 100 of the rows. It is pretty time consuming to manually go fix each one. Any ideas what is going on here?

Earlier this morning I had a telephone call from a customer who uses a spreadsheet I created.
She explained that once she'd entered information into a cell [and clicked elsewhere] she couldn't then add to the former; rather, she had to click on the cell and type it all out again.
I assumed that, as an inexperienced excel user, she was unware of either double-clicking the cell, or selecting and pressing F2. I explained these methods to her.
She later emailed me with this:
"Further to our phone conv this morning I have just tried double-clicking on cells but it deletes everything in the cell rather than lets you edit what is there – F2 does the same thing. This applies to any cell, whether it is text, date or number."
I've been using excel for a while now, and I've never come across such a thing before.
Has anyone else? Could it be to do with her own excel settings? (other customers have had no such problem)

What I'm trying to do is enter a value/text into a cell - say (A1). After I enter the value/text I would like to have a new tab populated with all the information on the current sheet and the tab name referencing cell A1. I tried running a few different scenarios using macros and have come up short. I want to be able to do this multiple times with different values/text. For example if I enter B606123 into cell A1 I want a tab to be created named B606123. Then later I might want to add B606096 and have that created without effecting B606123.

In one column (Column A) I have a column of data which contains long descriptive text - i want to extract a specific piece of text from this descriptive text and enter it into the next Column (Column B).
E.g. Cell A1 = "Hello Buddy, how are you?" - i want to extract the word Buddy and enter it into cell B1
then A2 into B2, A3 into B3, etc, etc,...
Is there a simple macro out there that can do this?

I have worksheet that contain values in column E and G and the total in column K. E and G are unlocked for manual input and column K contains the formula for the total and is locked. From time to time a certain row will not be applicable and before I started locking the cells in column K i would just put "not applicable". Now that it's lock I can't do that. My only option now is to put O in column E and G but I would rather put "not applicable" in column K. Is there a way around this. I was thinking of something along the line of a macro that would unlock the worksheet input the text and re lock it. The macro would have to lunch when a locked cell is selected or have a button that would launch the macro an would prompt for which cell the text would be entered. Is this possible.

0: i have a sheet 1 protected and few edit range (Col A,B,C,D,E and F).
1: I have a validation on multiple adjacent columns (like Col A, Col C, Col E).
2: I need a code where if i select value in col a (cell A2) cell B2 should get current date and Time and both the cells (A2 and B2) should be locked. when i select data in cell C2 , D2 should get current date and time(Cell C2 and D2 should be protected).
3: User can enter data in A3 and B3 will get current date and Time (now A3 and B3) should be locked.
4: I need a function where user can call it and unlock the locked cells and edit the data and re-lock the cells again.
apart from the Col A,B,C,D,E and F, other columns and cells remain locked.

I have a requirement to enter 25 formulas into 25 different cells. The formula is this:
[Code]......
The only thing that changes is the cell reference at the end which goes up in increments of 20,000, i.e. R20000, R40000, R60000, etc.
I have this set up and it works fine. My question is whether there is another quicker way rather than have the above code repeated 25 times?

I am trying to write a small bit of VBA code, so that I can record the row and column of the active cell. I have got it working when I CHANGE the value of the cell, but I need to get the code to fire off when I ENTER the cell.
The code section is below:-
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal target As Range)
'Store the row and column into G1 and G2 for the drop down loading
Call RowNum(target)
End Sub
[Code]....
how I can do this, as I cannot find reference to a Worksheet_Enter function ?

I have an Excel worksheet that when a user enters something into cell A1 I want to clear cells (b2:b20). If I use an object, I can attach a macro to it, but I don't want to use an object. I want to use an Excel cell and then when the user types into it, I want to perform an action.

How do I enter a value into a cell and divide that number automatically by another value all within the same cell.
For example..
I want to enter 20 into a cell and have it change into 17.24 (20/1.16) automatically all within that same cell.

I'm creating a maths workbook in Excel. I want the user to workout the answer in his/her head and enter the answer into Excel. The only problem is, of course, that there is nothing stopping a user from simply typing a formula to obtain the answer! I have tried all data validation, apart from Custom which I can't figure out. Is there a way to prevent a user entering a formula on a worksheet?

I'm putting together a userform and all the values and ending up in the correct place except for the two hyperlink cells.
I think it is because I've got the anchor wrong but Im not sure how to correct. I'll put the whole form in so if there is something fundametal going wrong in the early stages I can be put right, but the hyperlink issues are down the bottom at the Offset 16 and 17.
VB:
' Write data to worksheet
RowCount = Worksheets("Resources").Range("A2").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
With Worksheets("Resources").Range("A2")
