if it is possible for vba to recognize the name of the file is into.
example:
You file's name is : Track
you change for : Music
Your code automatically recognizes that and change the code.
I am using the following code to rename a file that is being pumped out by another program.
Sub CopyAndDelete()
Name "C:Program FilesPATH1234567890_3.tvr" As "C:Program FilesPATHNEWNAME.tvr"
'
End Sub
The problem I have is the the file being pumped has a varible name. The nly constant is the _#.tvr. The first 10 digits are random numbers.
I have persued the "rhymn and reason" for the file name with the vendor and have been told it can not be changed and is random. The "_#.tvr" piece comes from the number of reports I have generated for the day. So I have 5 prefined reports that run each day and can recreate the _0.tvr through _4.tvr but the first 10 are random each time.
I would like for the rename to "ignore" the first 10 digits then looking at the file name.
Is It Possible To Auto Save To A File Via A Macro?
What I Want To Do Is To Auto Save Directly To A Folder On Our System Via A Macro.
The Problem Is That Firstly It Will Need To Look Up A Cell ( D8 ) To Find Out The Job Number
Then It Will Have To Find The Folder On Our System ( Its On Desktop Under Job File Folder ) Then Comes The Hard Bit It Will Need To Locate That Job Number ( Cell D8 ) To Look Up The Relevant Folder To Put It In. All The Job Files Are Labelled Up Eg.( J2663 - Parry ) Then In That Folder Is A Sub Folder Called Docs Which It Needs To Be Saved In
I was wondering if there is a way to open up a given program (notepad in my example) ..paste data from cells copied in excel and save the notepad file to a specific location and close it out??
The file path will be given from a data cell in excel as well as the file name.
From searching the forums i've come up with the way to open notepad
using the lines
Dim RetVal As Variant
RetVal = Shell("C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32

I am trying to edit some formulas Under the Mon-D15 worksheet in this file. The # NUM is where I am having trouble. Basically, what I want to do is only rank the names in C15:C18. I was successful in doing this with C10:C14. But, for some reason it will not work with the lower values.

I have a spreadsheet that uses data which is linked to dates on which events are being held.
So, event 1 happens on 5/12/09, event 2 on 6/12/09. What I would like is the spreadsheet to identify the next event occurring and copy the information into a different cell on the spreadsheet.
I have a column of data (numbers) that are expressed incorrectly i.e 1,000 actually means 1, 0,3 actually means 0.3 and 15,500 actually means 15.5. I can make the first and second examples OK by using the replace command, but how can I check the number format of the cell and then make it change to what I want. All these numbers are in random order and sequence. I'm using the replace command in a macro, is there something I could put in the macro to solve my problem?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI play Keno a lot and have what is probably a very simple formula request. If I’ve got for example this result pasted into Excel: 06 12 15 21 23 27 28 31 32 34 48 49 54 56 60 67 68 74 76 77. How would I go about determining if a pair or two numbers had come in?
Say I was looking for 31 and 76, is there some way I can get Excel to recognize the two spot hit then post in response either 1 (in bold) if yes or 0 (not bold) if no the two did not come in together? Note this would not be only one or the other, they both would have had to hit at the same time.
In the Yellow Cells, I am looking for a formula or Macro that will automatically recognise and give the correct Premises number. As an example, in the first block of Yellow cells, it should be MOR001&2; The second block should be MOR003 and so on...
One could copy and paste the Premises number for each premises, but with 100 entries or more, it becomes a tedious and time consuming task. An autonomous function to recognise the correct premises number would be much easier
In the end, this is to be used when drawing up a PIVOT so that one may easily pick up a premises number or numbers and their related charges
I do not write code in it, just use it for school and work on the most basic levels. I am trying to suck an Excel document into SPSS ( Statistical Package for Social Science) for my Engineering internship. I am logging temperature using Omega Engineering, Inc temperature probes. When converting the data recorded on the probe to excel, it does something funny. I will try my best to explain what it is doing. If you format the cell to general, it gives you this (38917). Then simply changing the format to date I get this (7/19). How do I change this to make it so the date is the only memory in the cell. I don't need the other number in there because when I suck it into SPSS it only sees the 38917 number and not the date. I need the date to do my statistical analysis on the data.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of a complicated one here so I have attached my book, its probably easier to undertstand the query by looking at the book. Hopefully somebody can help me out here.
I have 2 worksheets:
A results worksheet - this contains all category of results, each category has been given a specific sort id.
A foreign worksheet - this contains all categories found on the results worksheet with sort id = 7.
Now the complicated bit. The whole exercise is too pick up the correct exchange rate for the foreign category (sort id 7). each foreign type has a specific number at the end of its description in brackets e.g (3).
At the bottom of the "results worksheet" is a key which says what type of exchange rate to use for this type e.g. (3) Price of CAD 22.9 converted using exchange rate of CAD 1.9645 = £1.
What I need to do is on the foreign worksheet, it to recognise the number in the item description, keep it in mind then switch over to the "results worksheet" find the keys at the bottom of the page (the key is not necessarily in the same place all the time!!), match the number in the items description with the corresponding key and then find the exchange rate.
As i said very difficult to explain, since I reletively zero experience with this kind of work in excel. Luckily I been muddling my way through a work project gradually thanks to a forum member here. so i hope we can keep this up!
edit:
two restrictions in the way this solution can be done:
1- Results worksheet can not be modified, but it can be referenced to using INDIRECT, and you can make any number of modifications outside of the results worksheet.
2. Any solution must be automatic.

I've created a spread sheet of hockey stats to prepare for my fantasy league. I've created a formula weighing different stats differently to create one "Fantasy Value" score. I've done it over 3 years of data and want to find the average 3 year score for each player on the front page of the workbook. There are 300+ names I'm tracking so I'm wondering if there is a way that Excel can recognize a player's name and pull the data from one specific column in 3 different sheets.
I've attached the excel file for your reference : NHL Stats.xlsx‎
So here's the setup: A customer purchases a service which lasts 6-months. As such, revenue recognition for the company can only occur as the service is provided. So if a person orders a $600 service at the beginning of a month, revenue will be recognized at $100 for the next 6 months. I'm trying to create an Excel Waterfall chart which will show the monthly revenue recognition amounts for all orders depending on the date which they were ordered.
I've attached a sample of what I'm looking to do. It's become tricky for me because Revenue Recognition is pro-rated based on the date ordered (i.e. order on the 20th of a month so at the end of the month 1/3 of the month is recognized as revenue). I'm looking for something that will populate the percentage of the order amount, each month, that will be recognized. I've populated what row 3 should be, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to apply a formula or something across all cells.
I have a spreadsheet where I need the end result to be auto filled after recognition of an adhoc "top up" amount. How do I get E7 (3170) to automatically recognise the insertion of C7 (3000) to give this result without having to manually update the formula in E7?

I have the following two formulas in a spreadsheet, which sum and count, respectively loan information within a certain date range. Both of these are working correctly.
My problem is in substituting the dates with cell references for dates located in a worksheet with a table of dates. The dates from this table work with simpler formulas, but I cannot get them to work here, regardless of how many () "", etc that I try....
I know I will earn $5,000 of monthly revenue from a client. $5,000 is represented in a monthly revenue cell. I have 12 columns showing the 12 months of the year. There is an additional cell showing the customers implementation date.
If a company's implementation date is on or after the 15th of the month (example: 3/28/2014) then the next month (April 2014) is skipped and the $5,000 is returned to columns May through December. All months prior to May return $0.00. If the implementation date is before the 15th day of the month (example: 3/13/2014) then the next month (April 2014) and all months after will return $5,000. All months including March and prior must return $0.00. If the implementation date is unknown then 12/31/2099 would be in the implementation date cell and $0.00 is returned for all 12 months.
Essentially, if the implementation date is prior to the 15th of the month the revenue will show as of the following month. If the implementation date is on or after the 15th of the month the revenue skips the following month and will show the month after.

When an .xls file is double clicked, Excel opens with the following error message:
'F:Program.xls’ could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.
If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.
When the dialog box is clicked, another error message is displayed with the same words, but with the file name 'microsoft.xls'.

How to call another program from excel using VBA, then excetue commands within it.
All the commands are text based, and the program will respond to it, but i am not sure how to automate this.
I would like to know if it is possible to run a macro from excel for another program and then have results imported into excel.
Currently I have a program called Reflection WRQ that I run a macro in and the results are captured in a text file. Then I run a macro in Excel that imports that text file. If possible I would like to have my macro in Excel run the command in Reflection and then import the results in Excel.
I have data in an Excel worksheet that needs to be entered into a proprietary programme. I believe this is possible using SendKeys but as I need to keep switching back to Excel to get the next bit of data I am unsure as to how to go about this. The program would already be open as it is a dial up situation and I would have to dial into the relevant site first.
