Find Parent Directory
Nov 5, 2008
Imagine this:
* Main Category #1
Sub Title #1: "Value"
Sub Title #2: "Value"
Sub Title #3: "Value"
Sub Title #4: "Value"
* Main Category #2
Sub Title #1: "Value"
Sub Title #2: "Value"
Sub Title #3: "Value"
Sub Title #4: "Value"
Sub Title #5: "Value"
Sub Title #6: "Value"
Sub Title #7: "Value"
Sub Title #8: "Value"
Sub Title #9: "Value".................
Main categories and subtitles are in the same column. "Value"s are in the column to the right.
I want to make a list in the columns to the right. This list will only show something if the "value" is not zero. It will show in the first column right from the original list, the main category to which the subtitle belongs to and the subtitle. Something like this (imagine subtitle #2 from cat #1 and #2 and #3 from cat #2 are not zero):

I have an Excel VBA Macro for creating/logging drawing numbers. Each drawing belongs to a job number. Each job number has a folder name containing the job number followed by a description (ie 999999 - bracket assembly) for storing drawing pdf's. The job number is only known as a 6 figure number in the drawing creation process BUT for the PDF saving process it is a string value...as my example above
I have to change my process by pre-creating the Job Number folder, then have the macro look for the appropriate folder by searching the parent folder for a sub folder containing the job number (always the first 6 figures).
I want to insert in my macro some code that searches...
The parent folder for a folder containing the job number. The macro value for the parent folder is P:engineeringdrawings (this never changes). the macro value for the job number is iOpenair (it's an entry that is entered as start the macro). Imagine the value for the job number is "999999"...so the search would be for "999999*.*" The code needs to search the parent folder, find the folder name that begins with a six digit number. Capture the complete name of the folder and store that name as a Dim value that I can call up elsewhere in my macro.

I have a workbook that is produced by some other application that names the file "FAMMToday_#.xls"
Where # increases from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 and so forth until all the analyst are done with adjustments. so the directory can look like but doesnt always go to five and nor is it limited to five.
"FAMMToday_1.xls"
"FAMMToday_2.xls"
"FAMMToday_3.xls"
"FAMMToday_4.xls"
"FAMMToday_5.xls"
Is there a way to pull the latest file?

I am preparing Vendors' Directory for our company. This Directory has different products listed in seperate sheets. The names, phone numbers and address of various vendors' are listed in each sheet.
My problem is that I want to create a new sheet with a find tool that will search particular name of the product or the vendor from all the sheets (say product A, product B) and list out complete information in single page.
I have attached a sample excel sheet which is supposed to search the name "Daniel" from sheets - Product A and Product B and list it out in the first sheet. The sample does not work.

The script collects all the files in directory and sub-directories and list them in ascending format, I want them to get in transpose format. like for example: Root folder has many sub directories and in them a sub directory XYZ has 5 excel files, it will get the sub directory name in Col A and transpose all .xls files.
Col A | Col B________|Col C_________ |Col D___________|Col E________|
XYZ__|C:/root/test.xls|C:/root/Sales.xls |C:/root/Report.xls |C:/root/sam.xls|

[Code]......
(and about 5000 more sets with garbage page headers in between the sets of parent rows)
Basically the data spit out by machine is separated by a blank row.
Let's say I need all the data with the child row "tn" , so I would autofilter /PivotTable it for that entry, but that leaves me with a blank column A. It'd be no issue if I had the column A heading in the child rows (and the number of spaces in between is random like 2 sometimes 15+ so Vlookup/Index/Match aren't too useful). It is possible to have a function that repeats the first row until it hits a space?
Like so:
[Code] ......
Then I could autofilter/pivottable to get:

I have the following table and i need to be able to present it an indented list of parent child relationship. The hierarchy can go 1000+ levels deep. How do i achieve this using VBA?
OName
OPackID
PPackID
PName
ParentID
Name1

If there is a better way of presenting it, it isn't limited to an indented list.

a FORMULA (not a macro) that can be used to diplay the parent folder name in a cell? I don't need the file name or workbook name, just the folder name.
Example,
My Workbook is stored in the following location: C:FilesExcelFiles
I want a fromula to return "ExcelFiles", since that is the parent folder
I have searched previous threads but found no resoultion.

The code below works really great which Andy helped me with, but now I've put the textboxes that are changing in a frame. That is because I need to scroll the textboxes. That works in another form I've got, but for this form I've also got the textbox, TBSum601, which is updated from the sub UpdateTotal() (see below). BSum601 is placed on the form but not inside the frame. When I run the application it stops in Sub TxtGroup_Change() at the line: TxtGroup.Parent.UpdateTotal
I think it's because of that the textboxes for the TxtGroup now are in a frame instead of as before, on the form. don't know exactly what the "Parent" does, but I think it's something I have to do with the code there.

I've been searching all morning through various posts on this subject, but I can't find anything that I can adapt to my needs. Here is the code I have:
ChDir "C:Documents and SettingsmynameDesktop"
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsmynameDesktopBook1.txt", FileFormat:=xlText, _
CreateBackup:=False
This file will be used accross multiple computers and therefore the directory will always change. What I need to hapen, is for this code to save the workbook in the same directory as the origional file. I also want the file name to refer to a cells value, as I will be having the user define the name through a userform.

I have data for , say - Cars, Company and Average.
I solve this upto 2 level i.e cars and companies.
But i want a third level also.
When i select Car from drop down list, using data - validation - list , in cells(1,1) , i should get all companies in Cells(1,2) and on selecting companies , i should get Average in cells(1,3).
If i do define name ,and then data validation list , and then use Indirect() function, i can solve it upto 2 level.
Eg. I can get company for car .. but how to get Average Also.

I have an excel file (see sample attached) with a hierarchy with parents and children spread across different columns and rows. However, I am trying to condense it into one column with parents and one column with children. The only way I've been able to do this is by copying and pasting parents onto children rows, which is both a manual and time-consuming process (when you have a lot of rows). I feel like there must be a way to use VBA or a formula or something to get it to work. I have attached a sample, so you can see what I am trying to do (current data and desired data).

I encounter the following problem which has been bugging me for weeks.
I am doing up an engineering spreadsheet which calculate the electrical cable size from node A to node B.
Col A and B goes like this:
From|To
Transformer|MSB_A
MSB_A|SSB_A1
Transformer|MSB_B
MSB_B|SSB_B1
SSB_A1|DB_A1
SSB_B1|DB_B1
So Transformer is the parent of MSB_A and MSB_A is in turn the parent of SSB_A1 and so on.
What I would like to achieve is to put these data into the following configuration:
Transformer----->MSB_A
............................|-> SSB_A1
.....................................|----->DB_A1
Transformer----->MSB_B
...........................|-> SSB_B1
....................................|-----.>DB_B1
NB: Please ignore the "dots" above.
This will give the user an overview of the parents and node relationship.
I can't seem to find a solution how to achieve this.

I have searched numerous times for the answer I need, but no joy yet.
I have a spread sheet that has one column (call it 1) of data with a single entry each of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and so on.
I have a second column (call it 2) that has multiple entries of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and so on, and I want to sort so that the rows wind up with the numbers in column 1 all sorted in an accending order, but I want all the same numbers in column 2 sorted to "list" next to the same number before the next number sorts. See below for a small example of what I hope to see once it sorts.

I have a large flat hierarchy table. I am looking for a method to select a parent and return a list of my lowest level children. I am somewhat familiar with VBA but I don't know where to begin coding this.
This has been a great learning source over the years, but this is one of the few instances I cannot find my problem so I am now posting. Example below:
Child
Parent
4
5
3
4
2
3
1
5
40
50
30
40
20
30
10
50
22
100
If I select 5, I want values 2 & 1 returned.
If I select 50, I want values 20 & 10 returned.
If I select 100, the value 100 should return.
If I select 40, the value 20 should return.

I am thinking of comparing multiple columns from each sheet to ensure maximum accuracy. And when those columns match up we paste the corrected column data from child sheet to parent one. I am using windows 7 and Excel 2010.

I have created a quick ouline for a chart of accounts. I would like to have a formula that verifies that all the 'children' sum up to the parent at each level of the outline.
I have a column with the integer value of the outline level, 0 being the "root", and each sub-level going up. i.e. 1's would be children of 0s, 3's children of 2's, etc.
Example:
0 Entity Value
1 Child1 Value
1 Child2 Value
2 Child1a Value
2 Child2b Value
1 Child3 Value
0 Entity2 Value
1 Etc...
How would you write a formula that verifies that a row's value is the sum of the children that are associated with it?

1. Is it possible to save additional worksheets (right now it is only copying one worksheet)?
2. How can I hard-code the directory path so the file goes to that one locatin (i.e. the "master directory")?
Also, is it possible to save userforms out of this workbook (i.e. some of the userforms contain information that is useful...it would be great to have them in the "output" file that gets saved to the "master directory"). Thanks!
Private Sub SAPfile_Click()
myfile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls")
Worksheets("Output-SAP Plan").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs myfile
ActiveWorkbook.Close

Application. ScreenUpdating = False
PATH = "C:DATA\_PLOTDIR"

Do Until FileName = ""
Set Wkb = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=PATH & "" & FileName)
Application.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF on Ne00:"
For Each WS In Wkb.Worksheets
ActiveWorkbook.printout Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Next WS
Wkb.Close False
FileName = Dir()
Loop
Application.EnableEvents = True

I want to have a excel file with VBA code and it should operate like the following:
It should check the subdirectory's in a certain directory and put this on a excel sheet.
Every time when you start the sheet it should compare the sheet with the sub directory's and make al the changes in the list.
In the end the excel sheet should be a representation of the directory.
I can't get it to work when something is changed or a directory is added or deleted.

An already existing file will be changed by my macro and at the end I want the user to save the file with a different name in a different directory with the option to change the filename or directory. Therefore I use the excel-standard-dialog "save as". But I want the dialog to start in another path as the path the original-file is stored in. But also I use the ChDrive and ChDir Parameters the dialog even starts in the original-file-path. I think this is standard for the dialog and I should maybe use a parameter in the show-arguement? The code is below.
Option Explicit
Sub SaveMyFile()
Dim xFileName, xAnswer
ChDrive "J"
ChDir "J:myfolder"
xFileName = "testme.xls"
xAnswer = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show(xFileName)
End Sub
