Find Multiple Files With Options To Open?
Feb 13, 2013
I have a macro to find me a document from a certain details, but in some circumstances their may be multiple applicable documents, I know nothing of user forms, but how to I find all the documents, show their "modified date", "Name","File type" and select one or which several to open.
My current code:
Code:
Code:
Private Sub OpenPDF()
Dim Ans
Dim TheFile As String
[Code]....
To have something more like a form popup showing for a search within a folder for files containing 'Brians Store':
Open? Name Date
O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsA.xlsm" 1/2/12
O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsB.xlsm" 1/1/12
O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsA.xlsm" 1/5/11
O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsC.xlsm" 1/4/11
And I may want to open the 1st, 2nd and last files.

I'm trying to open multiple files based on an array of WBnames that are on a 'Dashboard' tab, but I only want to open them if they are not already opened. The code below doesn't seem to check if they are open and just opens everything....
VB:
Sub OpenWorkbooks()
Dim WorkbookOpen()
Dim WBnames() As String 'Array of WorkBooks to be Open

I'm doing the following:
Dim myname As String
myname = Application. GetOpenFilename
I use it to attempt to open first a QuickBooks file and then an excel workbook.
The Quickbooks file opens fine. The Excel workbook never appears to open but
I do get the full file pathname to my excel workbook returned which I then
parse off to get just the workbook name.
Why would it behave this way? I open both these files manually all the time.
Also, I'm trying to use a filter as follows:
myname = Application.GetOpenFilename("*.QBW")
I get a compile error saying that I'm calling the function wrong.

I'm copy and pasting many formulas from different worksheets. After pasting, I'm trying to go into each of the cell references and update it to the new worksheet. For example, let's say the cell has a reference to another cell of: ='Worksheet 1'!xx:xx I want change about 50 cells like that at once to ='Worksheet 2'!xx:xx However, every time I pick the Replace feature, either one at a time, or all at once, it opens the Open file dialog box. I've confirmed that it definitely "Finds" everything correctly....it just happens every time on the "Replace".

i have this code below that opens a prn file. What i want it to do now is to open the next prn file within the folder. I want it to continue until it opens all of them in the folder.
Sub Macro1()
Dir ("D:FTP dataOrder Assessment*.prn")
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="D:FTP dataOrder Assessment*.prn", _
Origin:=xlWindows, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:= _
Array(Array(0, 1), Array(8, 1), Array(12, 1), Array(31, 1), Array(44, 1), Array(59, 1), _ Array(72, 1), Array(84, 1), Array(93, 1), Array(103, 1), Array(114, 1), Array(123, 1))

i have a master file which needs to be updated by several other sourcefiles. I did a macro running from the master file which opens all of the sourcefiles one by one, copies the relevant info from the sourcefile to the masterfile, and closes the sourcefile, then moves to the other one. i know this is probably not the case, but the code below seems to behave randomly: sometimes it works, sometimes it bugs by saying file not found runtime error 1004:
Dim masterfile As String
masterfile = "Master.xls"
Dim sourcefile As String
CurrentWeek = InputBox("Enter current week number")
CountWk = 35
sourcefile = "Source" & CountWk
Workbooks.Open (sourcefile)
....
The last statement causes the error. Both master.xls and source35.xls are in the same folder.

the VBA code to allow a user to navigate to any of our network directories and upon selecting (using workbook getopenfilename hopefully) the proper folder on their directory open each txt file (delimited with a pipe) and then save the active file as a xls file and then close it and move on to the next file. I am pretty sure this will take a do while statement but I am not sure how to write it.

I want to know if its possible to write a macro that will prompt me to open a document, then once open it will copy data and paste it into the working spreadsheet. I have a mini macro that cuts and pastes data elsewhere in the sheet but at present I am manually opening a file then copying all and then pasteing the data which is rather slow.

I'm having problems with the multiselect argument of the getopenfilename function. I've used this dozens of times with no problems, but now it doesn't work for me. I tried copying and pasting code that works in one module,
What I'm using is
Sub OpenFiles()
Dim vFiles As Variant, iNumfiles As Integer
vFiles = Application.GetOpenFilename(MultiSelect:=True)
If IsArray(vFiles) Then
For iNumfiles = LBound(vFiles) To UBound(vFiles)
MsgBox vFiles(iNumfiles)
Next iNumfiles
End If
End Sub
pretty simple, expect that when I select multiple files in the open dialog box, vfiles is a string containing one of the filenames, not an array containing them all! (by selecting, I simply highlight all the fiels I want and click open)

I do'nt know really my problem is regarding excel or with windows, actually stange thing starts happening, I open multiple excel files but only one general excel instance is showing on the task bar. If I need to switch between the file I have to minimise the one I am using and then select other to open it. Even shortcut Alt+Tab switch is not working to switch between the excel files.

I'm trying to build a macro to open multiple files at one time that will always be saved in a consistent drive. The problem is that sometimes there will only be one file for a month (ie only at month-end) and other times, there may also be additional files for different dates throughout the month. I wont know ahead of time how many files there will be, but they will always be saved in the same file name type that is "FILE DESCRIPTION MM-DD-YYYY". How can I build a loop that looks for a file on each possible day but doesn't error out if the file doesn't exist?

I have 40 files in one folder which I named it as "CA" + month's name that I am working on. I need to do analyse these files monthly and save it under new folder. how do I automatically save them in new folder and name them for that particular month. Also, each file has worksheet which has one cell as "Aug-07" and the cell next to it has number of that month that is "08". How do I automatically change this also based on the name of the file, because file name month and month in the cell are the same.

I have a number of similar templates on a server used to produce quotations from other files with lookup formulas. They all have 2 modules, 3 & 4. Module 3 deletes certain data and shows values instead of formulas for most of the pricing etc. Module 4 contains a macro that logs info in another central workbook on the server.
If 2 files are opened based on the same template at once, when the Quote_Wrapup macro (in module3) is run on one of the open files(code follows) from a button on the spreadsheet it often produces a Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range error.
Sub Quote_Wrapup()

I want to allow users to place files (.jpg, .tif, .pdf, .pps etc) into a network folder and then have my program open each file and display it for 30 seconds then close the file and the application before opening the next file.
1. Set up a loop to get a directory listing of the folder and write the listing to a text file.
2. Open up the text file and get the next filename in it
3. Open the file in the associated application
4. Wait for 30 seconds (or some period of time) and then close the file
5. Repeat steps 2-4
DoIt = 1
While DoIt = 1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for output as #1
Print #1, Files In Folder
Close #1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for input as #2
while not eof(2)
Line input #2, MyFile
Display MyFile on screen
Wait for 30 seconds
Close MyFile and MyApplication that opened it
wend
Close #2
I can get the directory listing just fine with no problems
I can open the files in the associated application just fine with no problems.
with closing the application after 30 seconds or some period of time.
I need some code that will allow me to easily send it a filename and it will know how to close the file and the application that opened it.

I have an Excel application (Excel 2003) which is stored in the default Program Files folder by the Installer; for example: c:program fileszxchello.xls. The problem I am running into is this file opens as Read Only in Vista and this is interfering with the running of the application. There is no problem opening the file normally in Windows XP.
I have been able to narrow down the cause of this to the User Account Control system in Vista - if I turn OFF User Account Control, the Excel file opens normally and my application functions normally. Is there another option to open the Excel file without turning OFF User Account Control because some users may find it unacceptable to turn OFF this security feature. Ofcourse, one option is to install the application in another location, outside the Program Folder, and the file would open normally, but the Packaging Wizard that I am using to package the application does not allow me to install the application in any other location and thus, the application installs in the Program Folder and I am running into this problem of the Exel file opening as Read Only. Is there a way out of this situation where I can open the file normally (not as Read Only)?

I maintain the data flow at my work. We send and receive the data using excel files with specific formatting that I then upload to the database. Each time I send or receive the excel file I must log them, this is what my code question refers to.
I use RDBMerge to merge all the contents of the 100 plus excel files into one worksheet. The first part of the macro cleans up the merge data for use in the log (i have attached an example of the clean data and finished log).
The blue shaded area of the "Raw_Data" is what the clean data looks like, the yellow column is what current macro records for each record.
As you can see by the example the Raw_Data is only two files LL_LLL_BOB_ToLLLLL_20121228_01 & LL_LLL_BOB_ToLLLLL_20121230_01, each with more that one record.
The log code in column "H" Is based on this criteria:
First Letter of the Unique ID in column "E" - O, M, or L
Program Type in Column "F" - U or R
1. O-U = U
2. O-R = RU
3. M-U = U2
4. M-R = R2U
5. L-R = R
You will note that Columns G-R of the "Log Sheet" correspond to the "Record Type" found in Column "G" of the "Raw_Data" sheet.
This is the area where my skill at using scripting dictionaries fails.
The results for the log list each file only once, but the log code for each corresponding "Record Type" in columns G-R of the "Log Sheet" must contain each unique instance of the code. In other words
if LL_LLL_BOB_ToLLLLL_20121228_01 contains an O-U with an "A" Record Type and an M-R with an "A" Record Type; then, on the log sheet there needs to be the codes "U/R2U" in the cell intersection of the LL_LLL_BOB_ToLLLLL_20121228_01 record row and "A" column (which is column "G")
So, If the File contains one of each code for each Record Type the corresponding cell must house one of each code separated by a "/" without any spaces. This means the cell value could no code, or one code and all the variations in between to all five codes. Also, for ease of human reading the log codes should be concatenated in the 1-5 order that I listed them in (U/RU/U2/R2U/R)
Here is my code so far.
VB:
Option Explicit
Sub test()
Dim dic As Object, a, i As Long, rng As Range, e, w, n As Long
Set dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Having great success at using Countif and Sumif in totaling values across two sheets, but at the risk of sounding like a dummy I would like a suggestion as to which formula I should be using for this basic little function;
I have a column on a sheet with dropdowns offering 4 options; Active, Cancelled, Completed, and Suspended. I'm using Countif to total the number of "Active" but I also need to total the number of "Canceled", "Completed", and "Suspended" under the one heading, as if they all meant the same thing.

I am looking to design a Userform with "OptionButtons" in which the user selects 1 of 4 print formats. I was going to have one single button that stimulates the userform mentioned which allows the user to pick from 4 options. Then there will be a commandbutton1 on userform which allows them to "Print Preview" the selected print style and a commandbutton2 on the userform which allows them to "Print" with the chosen style. The following are the 4 Print Formats:
Print1:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides)
Fit all Columns To Page
Rows 1-17 are Normal
From row18 on every row with text in columnA becomes a print break with row16 as a header before it. (the point of this is that row16 is a header but since it will always on the first page and row17 is a text row that would kick it on the next page)
Print2:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides)
Fit all Columns To Page
Cells A1:F15 select fit to page and center (This will be the 1st page)
Row16 becomes header for the rest of the sheets. Then each row with text in columnA becomes a print break
Print3:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides)
Fit all Columns To Page
Cells A1:F15 select fit to page and center (This will be the 1st page)
Row16 becomes header for the rest of the sheets. Then each row with text in columnA becomes a print break. Hide ColumnE and ColumnF after row15.
Print4:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides)
Fit all Columns To Page
Cells A1:F15 select fit to page and center (This will be the 1st page)
Row16 becomes header for the rest of the sheets. Then each row with text in columnA becomes a print break. Hide Column A, B, E, F after row15.

I have a Case Select statement I just learned how to use yesterday (kind of) What I am wondering is can I have multiple arguements or conditions to each case? For example: my sheet is a "Job Cost Estimate" for construction sales people. The section I am working on is "Fasteners"
I have 2 drop down boxes per line. The first box selects the fastener type, (Screw, Nail, Auger) the next box selects the size in inches and half inches (16 different sizes). Currently the select statement is set up for screws and says if this size then this price. I want to say if this type of fastener and this size then this price.
Additionally, when I select a size in my drop down box, I have to click somewhere else to get it to calculate. Is there a way to select the option and it auto calculates?
Here is my statement in my Worksheet selection change section:
Select Case Range("AZ21").Value ....

I am a bit of a novice with excel. I have created my own sales tracker where I get two forms of bonus.
Sheet 1 I have with all my sales. Based on the amount of sales I do I get a set bonus for each amount.
Sheet 2 I have for all the sales that progress.
They also are on a value basis- for every sale I get a certain amount of bonus. I have 2 cells calculating the amount of points. I was wondering if there was a way to have the cells calculate from the bonus table what i would get without me adding it up manually.
Sheet1 is booked leads.H3 calculates the total amount of points.
Sheet 2 is the paid occurences. F2 of that sheet is total points.
Sheet 3 is the bonus structure.
I am looking to put all the information in sheet 1:
Booked Bonus
Occurred Bonus
Total Bonus
Bonus structure is as follows:
Booked Payout Table
Occurred Payout Table
Net Points
Total Bonus
Net Points
Total Bonus
