Extract Dynamic Data From Closed Workbook
May 11, 2007
i have this code that could extract out Data from many closed workbook. I am extracting data from 2-3 thousand files and the Data in those files are rather dynamically positioned.
For e.g. My vba codings will extract data from cell B256 of the closed workbook.
Sometimes, the data might not start from that cell which my vba would still extract that non-relevant data.
Is there anyway i can modify the codings to search for the required data and extract instead of extracting it dumbly?
Sub getINFO()
Dim lCount As Long
Dim wbResults As Workbook
Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook
Dim rCell As Range

I'm trying to create a macro that will allow me to extract data from another workbook (whose name and location is listed in a defined cell) and populate a range in my new sheet with this data.
Ideally, I want to be able to do this without actualy opening the source file, but any means to this end would be great!
I know this was possible in Lotus 123, but have not yet found a way to do it in Excel.

I'm having a problem with getting a result from another workbook. The purpose is to extract information from a closed workbook representing data from a country (ie US.xlsm, UK.xlsm) into the open one (summary). I want to count the number of results in a column which are above a certain amount (in this case 100).
So this is my coding for getting this result
=SUMPRODUCT(--(('C:address[US.xlsm]Worksheet name'!$E$2:$E$30000)>100))
Which works no problem for getting the number of results in the E column above 100. my issue is that I want to be able to change the name of the country in a cell, and then get the results automatically from the relevant workbook. I've been using CONCATENATE for these purposes and EVAL (from MOREFUNC)... and I get #REF!
So if I split up the above coding into two cells "=" and "SUMPRODUCT(--(('C:address[US.xlsm]Worksheet name'!$E$2:$E$30000)>100))" (just to keep it simple) and then use CONCATENATE to combine them in a cell. Using EVAL on that cell gives me #REF!
I've tested SUMPRODUCT with EVAL and CONCATENATE on formulae like the one above which do not link to other workbooks, and they seem fine. and SUMPRODUCT and linking to a workbook also works fine in the first example.
So the problem is somehow coming from the combination of SUMPRODUCT, EVAL and accessing an external sheet.

I tried using Dave Hawley's code, but I can't get it to work. It works if the source workbook is open, but I get all "#REF" results if the source workbook is closed. Sales Order Import is the target worksheet for the data, inside the open workbook where this code is located.
Set wks = Worksheets("Sales Order Import")
With wks. Range("A56:Z100")
.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF('C:DdriveMy DocumentsProjectManagementManagementReport[AU0009099.xls]Sheet1'!RC="""",NA(),'C:DdriveMy DocumentsProjectManagementManagementReport[AU0009099.xls]Sheet1'!RC)"
'Delete all Error cells
On Error Resume Next
'.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, xlErrors).Clear
On Error Goto 0
'Change all formulas to Values only
.Value = .Value
End With
The .SpecialCells line is commented out, because it error messages (that's my next problem to tackle).

The below article explains exactly what I am trying to do but the formula in step 5 doesn't seem to work. I keep getting an #REF! Error.

I am not sure if maybe I'm typing in the quotations wrong or if the formula doesn't actually work.

I have a program that calls the regress function multiple times (sometimes more than 1,000) per run. With each call to the regress function, a new workbook is automatically opened. For each new workbook opened, I am storing the contents in a workbook array called Models so I can later sort the workbooks based on the value of R squared. The program often has to open and store hundreds of workbooks before the sorting can take place so as to consider every possibility. Once the sorting has completed, I close all of the open workbooks except for the two containing the largest value of R squared. Due to the massive amounts of workbooks getting opened and then later closed, it takes about 30-40 minutes to run my program.
I want to know if after a new workbook has been opened and its value stored in the Models array, can I immediately close it and then later open only the 20-30 workbooks I really need to speed up run time? This way I wouldn't have hundreds of workbooks open at one time. Here's some code to help:
'This function will run regression stats for all possible combinations of models
'with choose variables
Private Sub Run_Stats( Combos, ByVal Size, R_Squared, Adj_R_Squared, Std_Dev, Cp_Stat, ByVal Dep_Var, ByVal NumIndepVar, ByVal Observations, ByVal Choose, Reg_Labels, ByVal Residual_Sum, Models)

I've been using the following code to bring in individual cell values from one closed workbook to an active one. I would like to modify this is possible to bring in multiple cells at once and also pull them into a different worksheet in the active workbook. Basically, my command button is on Sheet1 but I'd like the data to pull into a cell on Sheet2.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With Range("Q9")
.Formula = "='C:Users[Workbook Name.xlsm]Worksheet Name'! N27"
.Value = .Value
End With

I have some vba that opens a closed workbook, copies data from a named range and then pastes it to the active workbook.
However, what is happening is that the closed workbook is opened and only part of the data is pasted. What I would prefer to happen is this:
Open the closed workbook-->copy the named range-->paste(append) to next empty cell in column B.
Heres the code that I have got.
Sub Workbook_test()Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' turn off the screen updating
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("G:WAREHOUSEPlanningSmartNew Training Plan raining plan.xls", True, True)
[Code]....

I have a vlookup function which takes the data from a table in a closed file. A folder where the file would be located will change based on the value in the cell reference.
I used below formula which works, but every time when i drag or try to edit and enter, the path of the file path brokes and i need to reselect the path where the file is located. Is there a way where i can stop this?
Code:
=VLOOKUP(A2,'C:&E1&[Myfile.xls]Sheet2'!$A:$B,2,0)

I am using the following code to import data from a closed workbook;
Code:
Dim SaveDriveDir As String, MyPath As String
Dim FName As Variant
SaveDriveDir = CurDir
MyPath = Application.DefaultFilePath 'or use "C:Data"
ChDir MyPath
[Code] .....
I'd like to modify it slightly so that it only imports data according to the following criteria;
The used range from A3 onwards but only if the row in column G shows 'Never' or the figure is 30 or more. If column G passes, (so neither of the criteria apply), then column J is checked for the same criteria and if so imported.

how can I without opening Production Support Report grab the values from the form then update the Production support report by finding the months sheet and sticking the values at the last row.

I have 7 workbooks I would like to copy data from. The data in question is a sheet called "Accident Book" in each of the 7 workbooks.
I know how to copy the data, but how do I reference these 7 closed workbooks ? They are all in the same directory, but these are other files in there that I dont need, so I dont just want to point to the directory.
I have this code from Nimrod but can't get it working.
Sub GetValuesFromAClosedWorkbook(fPath As String, fName As String, sName, cellRange As String)
With ActiveSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp)
.FormulaArray = "='" & "\Bls36dc10WorkH&S" & "[" & Central 2004.xls & "]" _
& "Accident Book" & "'!" & range("A6")
.Value = .Value
End With
End Sub
I actually want to copy data from A6:N6 down to the last row entry, then paste this into the next available row in the activesheet. I need to do this from 7 different workbooks.

What is the best way to import data from another closed workbook? I used the macro recorder and it gives me something like this
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='[CASHFLOW.xls]Sheet1'!R66C5"
I don't think this is the best way, since it asks me to update links when I reopen the file.

I found many examples on this forum of how one can pull in data from closed workbooks, or copy it and have it stored in the active sheet. So far so good, but I need a solution which would do the opposite - I need the macro to take a range of data form the active sheet store it in a closed workbook and save any changes in the target workbook without opening it.

I have 1 excel workbook open. It is in a common directory with several other excel workbooks which are closed. In the open workbook, I have created a vba macro that completes various tasks - only within the open workbook. I want to modify the macro in the open workbook such that it will specify data to be displayed in the closed workbooks. Then, when the closed workbooks are opened next, the data will reflect what the macro had specified.

Due to some cutbacks the company I work for has taken away the database system we used to use to record debts owed to us, so I'm building one in excel (no access or sql otherwise I'd use those). We have all the debt in seperate workbooks by financial period and I'm creating a new workbook that will upon entering of a specific financial period will pull information from the pertaining workbook and report on the information.
I have a Formula
=INDIRECT.EXT(CONCATENATE("'C:Documents and Settingshughel13My Documents[",Reports!$C$11,".xls]Sheet1'!R2:R138"))
Among others which pull other ranges
Which as I understand should work just fine on a closed workbook, however it only works when the target workbook is open.
When the workbook is closed the formula only pulls the first value in the range.
On a related note the above formula and it's counterparts are autofilled down the page from 2 to 1000 as some of the workbooks have 1000 records to pull, however the ones that dont have that many, cause errors when the data is pulled, is there a way to make it so that if the cell it's pulling from is empty it doesn't pull from it or pulls a value of 0?

I'm having concerning pulling data from a closed workbook by using a macro. I have tried Google to resolve the issue, but am only getting very basic results which do not apply to the situation I have (or, rather, I perhaps don't know how to edit this code in order to work in the way which I would like it to).
The above image is the main workbook, which I would like to insert the macro into. In cell A1 you can see that there is a filename location - this is the location of the closed secondary workbook which I would like to pull the data from. I would like the macro to take the location which is present in cell A1, copy cells A1:J5000 in the closed workbook, and then paste these into this workbook starting in A7 (i.e. A7:J5007). The reason that the filename location is present in A1 is due to the fact that this will be changing; however I would like the macro always to take the location which is shown in A1 (e.g. if A1 were to change from '... est00218_data.csv' to '... est00001_data.csv' then I would like the macro to take the data from the new location, test00001).

Workbook A contains data that feeds into Workbook B. Workbook B retrieves data from Workbook A (via a macro) and then puts data into cells in Workbook B, Workbook B process the information and does calculations etc... on the data from A. Now I want to transfer the results back to Workbook A in specific cells.
Example (just for information only and not actual problem): Workbook A, contains employee information, years in company, position etc... This is transferred to Workbook B (this portioin I have coded and tested). Workbook B calculates pay, benefits etc... Now I want to put the pay information back to Workbook A.
