Formula To Get The Date From Filename
Jun 25, 2009
I 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.

I have a filename 'filename-12-14-2014' where i need to extract date information from the filename and insert a new heading in the file 'date' in the first column and write the extracted date till the end (until data exists). I can write the new column name but i could not write date in all the fields. code i wrote is below
this is for extracting date from the filename. the 4th lines throws me the error?
(1) LastRow = Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
(2) With Range("A2:A" & LastRow)
(3) x = Split(s, "- ", 2)
(4) .Value = Left(Mid(x(1), InStr(x(1), "-") + 1), InStr(Mid(x(1), InStr(x(1), "-") + 1), ".") - 1)
(5) .NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yy"
for adding the date in the first column. This works fine
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Date"
s = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Range("A2").Select

I need to add a date to the existing filename it is being saved as. Currenntly the filename is saved as follows:
x = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For a = 2 To x
y = Cells(a, 12)
Workbooks.Add ("C:Documents and SettingsDesktopTemplate.xlsx")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=y
Next a
I want the filename to stay the same as above but add "-r-"a number entered into a textbox representing the revision and then the date the file was saved in the following format dd/mm/yy.
The form containing the text box has been scripted and works fine. The string entered in the textbox currently resides in the Active sheet being saved in cell "E4".
Below is a completed Filename. Note the RED is what i need to add.

Every 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 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

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="\UsersDataTemp" & "Report" & Format(Date, yyyy-mm-dd) & ".xls")

I want to create a macro that when executed changes the name of "File1" to "File1 - Edited 8-9-2012". With the date being today's date (variable). This file is going to be emailed to someone who will then execute this macro.
Is there a way to prompt the Save As window with the updated file name so the user can save the file where ever he/she wants?

Is there a way to save a file and have it automatically put today's date in the file name?
Example: original File name = test.xls
desired file name = test072807.xls, or test.072807.xls, or test.07 28 07.xls
So, I open the file, do whatever, and then click save.
When I click save, it does one of the above, given that today is 7 28 07.

I 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!

I have a formula that looks like this : ='G:STOCKS[1001 Stock.xls]Matl%'!$I$32
There are hundreds of similar formulas, all referencing different cells in the same file. The “1001” bit refers to the date, and next month it will need to say “1002” to pick up the new month's file. I would like to hold the “1002” bit in a cell (say A1), so that at month end, I just change that one cell, and all the formulas will point to the new file, but I’m not sure how to work that into the formula.

I'm on excel 2010 and I have a small group excel files I open everyday. Most of the files are static in name and location. I've got a macro created to open those files, which works fine with workbooks.open and the file path.
There are two report files I want to incorporate into my macro of workbooks to open. The files are created weekly and the files names have the following format: "Report Name (YYYY-MM-DD).xlsm". I don't want to use the file's last modified date because older files may get edited after the more recent ones are created. The files are also not always created on the same day, so the solution needs to be flexible enough to not refer to a specific day of the week or anything.
Macro open an excel file based on the latest date found in filename.

I need an IF formula, that states if a date is more than a month after the date in the cell then it is timely and if it isn't then it is not timely. For example the date in A1 is 12/11/05, if the cell is A2 is 13/12/05 (or any date after that) then A3 should read Not Timely, if A2 is 12/12/05 (or any date before that, including a date before the date in A1) then A3 should read Timely. Is there any way to do this?? At the moment I am having to go through manually and put in either Timely or Not Timely.

I have a template file that I import data in to, which is then saved with the current date. This works, but I want to automate the import of the data, but ensure I don't duplicate the load.
Therefore, I have a tab 'FileLog' that I record the filename (variable by date) in column A and Creation timestamp in column B.
How do I obtain the filename and creation timestamp of the import data so that they can be entered?

I have tried =INDIRECT but that will not work.
I have a file name typed into cell C3. I want the formula in cell C4 (C5,C6,C7......) to include the name of the file typed into cell C3. The formula in cell C5 shows what the content should look like.
I want the users to be able to type the file name in Row 3 (C3,D3,E3.......) and have the formulas below them insert the file name and access the information from the files (yes the files can/will be open when we do this).
I need to to have at least twenty different formulas (rows) referencing specific cells in these files.
The formulas would look like this ='["File name from C3"]Audit Information'!$D$35.
I am hoping it may only be a syntax thing and someone here can "show me the way" I have tried &$C$3& with and without quotations with no luck.
Here is the test file. Test3.xlsm‎

Let's say I have thousands of employees, but I need to determine who worked for me during a particular date range, and all I have to go on is their start date in one column and their end date in another column.
If:
A1 contains beginning date of employment
B1 contains ending date of employment
C1 contains specified beginning date (criteria)
D1 contains specified ending date (criteria)

Cell B1 contains a date, then B2 contains a formula that says:
=IF(A1>TODAY(),A1,A2)
A1 contains a green tick and A2 contains a red cross.
What I am trying to add is that if B1 contains no date then B2 needs to be blank.
I tried using =IF((A1="",0),(A1>TODAY(),A1,A2) to get it to show a 0 if there was no data but this doesn't work.
I am using Excel 2003.

I have a formula
=AL260-WEEKDAY(AL260,2)+MATCH(AP260,{"Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"},0)
The formula looks at the chosen start date (AL260), and then uses a displayed text day (AP20) to display the relvent date to the text day, this works fine however if the start date is say 08/08/14 (a Friday) when the formula detects a Monday (this copies down a range looking at the start date and the text days to produce dates on each line, the formula displays the Monday dates prior to start date, is there any way to alter this to make it display the dates ahead of the chosen start date?

What I need to do is that I have electrical tools that get tested on a certain date in Column A. I need Column B to look at column A and determine and display in date format the next quarter when test is due.
Practical example: Extension cord got tested on 04/04/12. The next test needs to be conducted on 01/06/12. If the test is overdue and gets conducted on 02/06/12. The column A will change to 02/06/12 and column B should change to 01/09/12 as a result.
The formula I have got to work is
=DATE(YEAR(F2)+IF(MONTH(F2)>9,1,0),CHOOSE(MONTH(F2),4,4,4,7,7,7,10,10,10,1,1,1,),1)
but this makes the quarter dates as APRIL, JULY AND OCTOBER - they need to be MARCH, JUNE, SEPTEMBER
when I change the formula to
=DATE(YEAR(F2)+IF(MONTH(F2)>9,1,0),CHOOSE(MONTH(F2),3,3,3,6,6,6,9,9,9,1,1,1,),1)
The dates work BUT if the following test is undertaken on 01/03/12 the date in Column B does not change to 01/06/12. Why? How do I get it to work?
