Extract Date From Filename For New Tab
May 9, 2014Every 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.

I can write the new column name but i could not write date in all the fields. code i wrote is below

(3) x = Split(s, "- ", 2)

Aug 7, 2008I 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 RelatedAlternatives To CELL (filename)
Apr 7, 2009CELL("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?
Formula To Get The Date From Filename
Jun 25, 2009I 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.
Using Variable Filename In VLOOKUP
Mar 26, 2014I'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.
[Code].....
This is what is produced when it is run and the user selects the worksheet each time (which works perfectly fine):
[Code] ...........
I tried to enter the Full Costs sheet name into the code like so:
[Code] ......
However this produces the following:
[Code] .....
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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedDate Appended To Filename
Oct 29, 2009I searched this forum to find a macro that will do what I'm describing below. There seems to be quite a number of macros doing almost what i want, but most require a macro to be run, filename to be entered, etc...
I want the macro to automatically append the current date to the filename when it is saved. It must save it in the same directory where the file was opened from, and the name must be exactly the same as before, except that it must remove the previous date appended to the filename, if there was one appended.
I don't want to run the macro for this to happen, the normal File Save command must do the trick...
Thus c:my documentsTest.xls will become c:my documentsTest 29102009.xls; and
c:my documentsTest27102009.xls will become c:my documentsTest 29102009.xls

Creating Filename From Cells
Jun 8, 2009I have a worksheet that I would like where you can just enter the date, then it builds a filename based on that.
Example. Filename I would like to load information from is
"C:EXMay 2009May 21,2009.xls"
The sheet is "Data" and the cell/row is A1
The Filename could be entered simply as
'C:ExMay 2009[May21,2009.xls]Data'!$A$1
But what I would like to do, is be able to generate a weeks worth of filenames from the date I entered.
I have one cell with the root directory (lets say A1)
A1 = C:EX
A2 = May
A3 = 21
A4 = 2009
So in cell A5 I would like to combine them all to load the information from that filename.
I tried to do something along the lines of
A5 = A1 + A2 + " " &A4 (etc etc), but that wasn't working at all.
The main reason for breaking them up is so that I could just increment the date to get a weeks worth of files.
Using VBA To Enter Filename On A Webpage
Jul 22, 2010I have a simple text box I need to fill in with my email which I have managed to do very simply with this code;
Code:
Dim IE As InternetExplorer
Dim sIEWindowName As String
Set IE = New InternetExplorer
IE.Visible = True
[Code]...
The layout looks like this with my email.value entered in.
I'm using Access 2007, but that is irrelevant for the VBA.
My problem is I can't enter the filename as easily. I have to use SENDKEYS to TAB over then a bunch of other tacky SENDKEY commands to load my file. Even though it works I don't feel it's reliable and would rather just fill the file name in a bit easier.
I used IE developer to show before and after using the BROWSE button to load the file location as seen in pic 1 and pic 2.
The code below has been my best attempt. It runs without error but it does not give me the result I need which is a file location for the application to pull.
Code:
IE.Document.form1.FileName.Value = "C:New FolderaFileToUpload.txt"

Dec 10, 2013Is it possible to insert the filename of another excel file based on the information in a cell within your current file?
I have a file named 12-07.xlsx, which has a sheet Data 12-07, and that sheet has information all through it. I want to populate a cell in a new file with inform from the 12-07.xlsx cell B3.
I know the Formula is ='[12-07.xlsx]Data 12-07'!$B$3
Is there a way that I can use a cell within the current file, say cell B1 (which has a value of 12-07 - which is the same as the file I want) to populate the filename? Something like
='["=B1".xlxs]Data 12-07'!$B$3 (whereas "=B1" would be 12-07)
I know that will not work as is, but is this concept doable?

PDF Macro With Auto Filename
Jun 3, 2008The following code has been tested on Excel 2003 and Acrobat 8.0 Pro:
' This line of code specifies your directory as well as the cell or range which you want the filename to come from. As you can see, I have a specific cell with the range name "InvNbr" so that the macro knows to pull the filename from there. If you don't want to use a range name, just replace InvNbr with your cell reference, such as C4.
Filename = "C:Folder1SubFolder1" & ActiveSheet.Range("InvNbr").Value & ".pdf"
' This line of code sends the filename characters and the ENTER key to the active application. The "False" statement allows the macro to continue running without waiting for the keys to be processed.
SendKeys Filename & "{ENTER}", False
' This line of code calls the Adobe PDF printer and runs the conversion. To ensure that you replace this code correctly with your own PDF printer, simply record a macro to print to Adobe PDF and then copy and paste it here....

Spaces In Path And Filename
May 9, 2006I have a problem with paths and filenames with spaces.
If the the excel file containing the macro file is opened from explorer rather than from within excel, the path is incorrect. Therefore I use the following
Dim varPath As String
varPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDir varPath
I can then later call either varPath or the VBA GetCurDir and it will be correctly set.
However, when I call a Shell function as in the example:
Dim varPath As String
Dim fPath As String
varPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDir varPath
fPath = varPath & " emp"
MsgBox fPath & "test.bat"
Shell fPath & "test.bat"
I get the message box: e:local data tables emp est.bat
I get the error: Runtime Error 5, Invalid procedure call or argument.
Without having to rename the path structure so that it doesn't have spaces (which isn't always possible), how can I get this to work?
