Excel 2010 :: Searching A Folder For A Keyword And Returning The Full Path?
Jun 19, 2013
My Excel 2010 spreadsheet contains client data like the below:
A
B
C
D
E
What I'm trying to get from this is a personally addressed email with 2 attachments, one will be standard to all recipients and one will be unique and specific to that recipient. The filename of the unique attachment will contain the reference but will have some other stuff in the filename as well on either side that I will not be able to remove.
In terms of the file locations the unique ones will be in subfolders of the folder holding this workbook and the generic one will be in the same folder as the this workbook.This is some adapted code that solved a similar problem (in Excel 2007 though) on a different website.
VB:
Sub Mail_Report()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object [code]....
In that case the file started with the "reference" field but in my case it is in the middle and the formats vary depending on the provider, there will only be a maximum of 5 providers but I would like to avoid 5 different macros if at all possible so I need a search function of some sort.

I need a formula (but most likely a VBA macro) that will search through a folder for a file than get data from that file. The files are named in systematic way, but I need the entire formula to work from inputting a mold number in one cell. E.g. I input 6291 in cell A2 the vba macro searches for file “6291 mold.xlsx” and returns a range of numbers as well as pictures in specified cells. Is this possible? If so how?
The closest thing I have found is VBA macro that retrieves a list of media files in a folder, I listed the code below.

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 would like the full path in the excel 2007 title bar automatically every time I open a excel file.
The macros I try from other sources all end up in errors. I need step by step instructions.

So basically I have an Excel sheet which has keywords that need to be entered in Google search. I need the URL of the first page of the search result that appears after that keyword is entered. IS there a macro for the same?

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'm trying to use a barcode scanner to enter in information in a given Excel spreadsheet and then search for that exact same information in a column in the same Excel spreadsheet.
The barcode will enter in the numeric information in A1.
I am searching for the exact information in column F.
If found, I would like for the cell the information is in to turn a color such as green.
Is that doable with a formula in Excel 2010?

I'm wondering what is the syntax to open a msoFileDialog box and select a file, resulting in setting a variable to the entire file path. If I use
msoFileDialogFilePicker
I'll only get the file name, without the path. I'd like to get the full path ending in the file name.

I have path data (subfolder depth varies) that I need to trim to filename only.
Example:
/folder1/folder2/filename1.eps
/folder1/folder2/folder3/filename2.eps
/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/filename3.eps
Need to end up with:
filename1.eps
filename2.eps
filename3.eps

The folder which contains the Excel file I'm working on is
C:Usersar3DocumentsKey Performance Indicators
however if I place =INFO("directory") in a cell I get
C:Usersar3Documents
Is there a function where I can get the full path of the workbook in the cell?

I have the following code and I it works except it gives the full file path rather than just the name of the file.
I have been racking my brain for ages to try and figure how to just get the filename to show but I have been unsuccessful.
Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Range("K43").Select
' Set up list of file filters

I have a variable ("DestFile") that defines a path to a file (used in saving the file)...
I'm in the process of getting a Sub to hyperlink to this file, but in some circumstances, I may only want to hyperlink to the folder, not the actual file...
How would I go about trimming the "DestFile" address to get a "DestFldr" address?...
An example of "DestFile" might be;
S:BryanFor KenGulf ConstructionST0609014-t.xls
(the file name length may vary)
What code can I use to consistently trim it back to;
S:BryanFor KenGulf Construction
as the "DestFldr" variable?

I do a search on my directory for all *.xls files each month which produces a list some 11,000+ lines long. Attached is a very small sample.
I then import this into Excel see tab Raw Data
What I want to produce is a list shown on tab Finished Data, so that I can then sort etc.
Has someone already done this before and got the code, or can someone point me in the right direction on how to arrive at the finished data?

I am trying to allow users to select a file, and then the file name/ the file path / and date are added.
Right now, all those functions work in the following code, but the file path shows up as a letter drive. As there could be upwards of 50 people using this file and the mapped drive could be different, i wanted the full path to be displayed.
Code:
Private Sub File_1_overwrite_Click()
Dim filename As Variant
Dim filename1 As Variant
filename = Application.GetOpenFilename(, , "Select Programme")
filename1 = filename
filename1 = Mid(filename, InStrRev(filename, "") + 1)
File_1_link = filename
file_1_name = filename1
File_1_date = Format(Date, "MM/DD/YY")

This relates to this thread - [URL] .....
This is the only macro in this file
[Code] .....
It will perform the sub-totalling for the column that has the current active cell
When I select Column I
It does.....
-for each blue cell it finds it provides a total of all the white cells bellow it
-for each yellow cell it find it provides a total of all the blue cells bellow it until it reaches a yellow cell
It works backwards, so not exactly as I've just described, but that isn't the problem
Problem is -
UK Excel 2010 - results are as expected
US Excel 2010 - returns zero values for totals
We've possibly narrowed the problem down to when it looks at cell properties, more specifically -- If Cells(rowX, 1).Interior.ColorIndex = 20 Then
How to get results in blue and yellow cells when you select a cell in column K then execute the CreateTotals macro.

Basically; there are three main columns in the first worksheet (lets call it "Main Data"): OrderNumber, TaskName, SignOffDate with data listed as follows. The actual spreadsheet has hundreds of order numbers but i'll keep it simple and lets go with two.
OrderNumber
TaskName
SignOffDate
1
OED
01/05/2012
[Code] ........
What I am trying to do; is sort this data in a second worksheet (lets lable it "Output") so that the sign off dates for each task; for each order; are listed within 1 single row. Ie:
OrderNumber
OED
CTN
FAD6
RFS
1
01/05/2012
17/05/2012
22/05/2012
02/06/2012
2
03/05/2012
19/05/2012
27/05/2012
02/06/2012
There are many orders in the main data; and I'm not sure what to do exactly to return the sign off dates for each task for each order without creating separate worksheets for each task name; then using vlookups to find each date.
An order may have a sign off for all task names, or none at all. In addition to this; they may not always be in the same order as listed above.
I'm using Excel 2010.

I have windows 7 and excel 2010 and am using a macro that opens up a csv file(I think) of daily reports into Excel and then automatically delineates it and formats it how I want it. I will be using this to save a new file every day for the reports from the previous day and want to include at the end of that macro a way to prompt the user to "save as" so that each day they can run the macro and enter in the date and save that report for further use. I am wondering what VBA code I could use at the end of the macro code to prompt the Save As box and if I could already have the save us set up in the following folder... "W:Daily to Fortis Excel2014(the user will put in the date here)".
I've been looking around sites and trying to figure it out. I need the file format to be the same as when you save as "Excel Workbook". I was trying to use the Saveas (filename) function and could get it to save every time as a specific file name in that location but when I run it the next day it has the same name and saves over itself. So I need the user to be able to put in todays date as the filename to create a new one every day.

We updated excel from 2003 -> 2010 and this stopped working.
We have a macro which takes pictures from a folder and pastes those pictures in the excel -sheet.
At 2003 the pictures were correctly pasted to their positions, but at 2010 the pictures appear in somewhere at the same sheet. (not at the right places, which should be at column "o" at the same row.)
Macro (working correctly at 2003) :
Sub Kuvan_piirto(ic As Integer)
On Error GoTo loppu
SourceFile = Enari
DestinationFile = "Live1.JPG" ' Define target file name.
FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("Live1.JPG").Select
[Code] ..........
What should I change for 2010?

getting a function working within Excel 2010. What I'm trying to do is to first look in a specific directory and loop through each foldername then check to see if the foldername exists in column B of my worksheet. If the foldername exists then check Column E of the same row for a specific value ("assigned") and then make sure column F of the same row has no picture inside the cell. If those three things exist (column B foldername and column E "assigned" and no picture in column F), then add a picture to column F of the same row as the foldername with a hyperlink to a filename of "notes.one" in that specific folder. Then just loop through each foldername in the specific directory until all foldernames have been checked.

I am after tips on creating a macro in Excel 2010 where it will search a list of folder paths in a column on a spreadsheet and insert a jpeg within the sheet from that folder if it exists. If more than one jpeg exists i would like it to insert the first jpeg only. i have found tips where it will insert images if you know the filename, however I don't have this luxury as file naming routines vary from folder to folder the only constant is that the file is a .jpg format.

Excel 2010, Windows 8.1. I want to retrieve a photo from a folder and paste it into a cell. I have the paste and format process figured out but I'm having trouble putting the file path together to retrieve the photo. If I use the full path, the statement below retrieves "IMAG1234.jpg" and puts it where I want it.
ActSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:UsersEljafeDocuments1-QCReport_PhotosIMAG1234.jpg").Select
But if I have a different photo file name as a string in a cell (e.g. "IMAG5678.jpg") what is the syntax to attach it to the file path? i.e
ActSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:UsersEljafeDocuments1-QCReport_Photos") & "IMAG5678.jpg".Select '(which of course doesn't work)
So, I have a path but I want to attach different photo number to the path from a sting in a cell.

For the last year I have been downloading cash register X1 and Z1 files onto an SD card. Each night's files (X1 & Z1) are stored in a new folder with the naming convention "RP + [DATE]", (EX: RP120910, [YYMMDD]). I have 265 folders! I need to go through each folder, select the Z1 file (I don't care about the X1, X2 or Z2 files) and rename each with the following naming convention: "Z1 + folder_name + .xls". For Example: Folder RP120910 contains the Z1 file named "Z1_T1729.ECR". After renaming, the file should be "Z1RP120910.xls". As the VBA code loops through each subfolder, selecting and renaming the Z1 files, I would like the new files to be placed into a new folder named "Z1Files". Note: All subfolders are currently in a directory named "RegisterFiles". I am using Excel 2010.
