I have the following code which successfully opens the specified workbook and copies the values to the active workbook, but then gives an error on the line of extracting filename, and when extracting last author. However, the code works fine if I use 'getopenfilename'.

I have a directory folder with an active workbook and another workbook id like to copy data from. The Following macro opens up a file in the same directory, copies some data and pastes it in the active workbook. However with this code I have to specify the filename, 'Data.xlsm' in the example code. I would like it to copy data from the only other workbook in the current directory WITHOUT having to specify the name in the code, so just opening it up no matter what filename it has.
In addition I would like to extract the filename from the workbook im copying data from and paste it into the activewoorkbook in sheet 1 Cell A1. I had a look at getopenfilename function but cant seem to make it work for my purpose.

I try to make a macro for saving an Excel sheet to a .CSV file with "@" as delimiter.
At the line "Open fname For Output As #fnum", the Error 53, "no file found" occurs.
The Excel-help is saying that if the file is not present, a new file will be made.
This error occurs now and then, How to proceed?

I try to extract datas from a pivottable (so one data source) which could change.
The items of one field are changing (given by the user through Inputbox): "batch"
The items of the second field ("type plate") are at each time visible (the macro make them visible to have the complete information concerning the "batch")
So I want to extract values and labels from one particular pivottable (the one I display), selecting several batches. But the problem is that some of the items have no value, so disapear fron the table) even if they are visible. As I extract the value on each item (see code below) I get an error message saying "runtime error 1004 application-defined" when the macro read "valeur".
Dim pt1 As PivotTable
Dim pf As PivotField
Dim pi As PivotItem
Dim pj As PivotItem
Dim i As Double
Dim valeur As String
I tried to go through this problem using "on error goto solution" but it works only one time, and after same error message
How coud I avoid to calculate "valeur" with the Items (pi) not displayed ?
I have some password protected excel worksheets that required editing as they are from earlier versions, an earlier time and all need to be updated. This would be fine if it was myself who actually made the worksheets, but the person who did retired a couple of years ago and has dropped off the map (no contact details etc).
I know how to remove passwords, when I was the one who set them. The big problem here is, they are all macro enabled and for some reason the free down load password removal applications do not unlock worksheets that are macro enabled.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use the formula below to get the filename of the spreadsheet, it seems to work fine but when you open a second sheet the first sheet will pick up the name of the second. =MID(CELL("filename"), FIND("[",CELL("filename"))+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename"))-FIND("[",CELL("filename"))-1). These spreadsheets will then be uploaded to another application and having 2 with the same name could cause issues. Obviously the answer is to only open one at a time, but this is always subject to human error!
View 3 Replies View RelatedEvery week we produce a report that has the filename: Master_BER_Pending Revokes Report_YYYY-MM-DD.xlsm
Some of the information from this workbook needs to be pasted into a new tab on a different workbook. The new tabs naming convention is simply "DD MM". Currently I've got a command prop that asks the user to enter it in manually. See below
VB:
Dim newsh As String
newsh = InputBox(Prompt:="Enter new tab name", Title:="Tab Name", Default:="e.g. '05 05'")
Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Select
ActiveSheet.Name = newsh
The user gets the information for the month and day from the filename of the report that was produced. What I need is the DD and MM to be extracted from the filename and used to name the new sheet.
CELL("filename") gives you the name of the current workbook but if you switch to another workbook and then come back, the name has switched to the other workbook. You have to refresh to make the name switch back to that of the workbook you used the formula in.
What alternatives exist, short of writing some VBA, which is an option, to fetching the name of the workbook via a formula and having it remain the name of that workbook when you go away and come back again?
I have a folder full of sales reports, all of the files are given a consistant format e.g. 09_wk50. I have a macro that do various calculations in each book. I now need a calculation based on the report date.
I am able to get the file name in the sheet so that I am just left with the value above (09_wk50) but I need to be able to get an actual date from that value.
I need to be able to get the monday of the week given. for the example given i would want the date 13/04/2009 because of week 50 in 2009, the 13th is the Monday.
I'm working on a project where I need to populate a column with vlookups taken from different workbooks, I have for the most part got it working. However currently, everytime it populates a cell it prompts the user to select the sheet from the workbook as there are two. The sheet name is always the same so I tried to add it into the code so it would avoid having to repeatedly click okay while it populated the table.
This is the original code where it asks for the user to select the sheet every time.

This is what is produced when it is run and the user selects the worksheet each time (which works perfectly fine):

The issue I have found is that the square brackets that are around the filename are generated automatically, they aren’t in the actual filename and I haven’t put them in, so I am struggling to work out how to add the sheet name in where it wont be included within the square brackets, as that is what's breaking the lookup.
