Function To Say If File Exists

Apr 21, 2013

I would like to have a user designed function that will tell me if a file exists in the specified directory.

For example, my file name is wd1.xlsm. I have another udf that tells me my current file path - e.g. C:All Sales People Quotes System.

I combine these two in say, cell D4 and so have C:All Sales People Quotes Systemwd1.xlms

Now I would like a udf that I can put in E4 that will tell me if wd1.xlsm exists in the C:All Sales People Quotes System directory.

Ignore File Name / Save File Name Different If Other Exists?

Jun 6, 2014

My macro pulls data from a set of files in a folder and creates an output based on my formatting rules.

Ran into 2 issues though. The first being is after this macro is run it saves a file in the folder with the name "Data Export" and before I had it do this if "Data Export" was already there

Code:
'Check if file name to save exists If Dir$(vFolder & "" & sSubFolder & ".xls", vbNormal) = "" Then
wb.SaveAs vFolder & "" & sSubFolder & ".xls"
MsgBox "Complete!", vbOKOnly
Else
MsgBox "File already exists, could not save!", vbInformation, "COMPLETE!"
End If

What I want it to do instead is change itself and save it as Data Export A, and then also loop for A each time, if A is there go to B , so on and so forth.

-Alternate solution if this is way to challenging, can I have it pop up the Save Message box to let the user try a new name if "Data Export" exists. I was trying to think through that too..

2nd Issue is when I loop the files in the folder I selected in my macro, I want it to ignore "Data Export" files. Before I just took a shortcut and had it save outside of the data folder, which was fine but now we are running on so many files a day that we need it inside the same folder for organization purposes.

That is done with the following

Code:
'Loop through files in folder sFileName = Dir$(vFolder & "")
Do Until sFileName = ""

I was thinking maybe I can add an error handler to the loop? Before Do Until? Something like this? But how I can add it into the loop?

Code:
If sFileName Like "????.?.xls" Then

Pulling Data Only If File Exists

Nov 14, 2008

I am using the following VB code to check if a file exists and if so add a formula in my workbook providing data from that file.

I have pre-pulled raw data in the directory "H:BusinessRptTest for scripts" which is named firstly by the day of the month and then what data it is.
- i.e/ 13_CAI_AgentStats.xls

The idea of my code is to check firstly whether the file exists (i.e has the data been pulled yet) and then if so to extract the data I need from the correct sheet and if not to add a zero instead.

I thought all was ok, but if the raw workbook is not open I get a #REF error.

I have looked at some posts for getting info from a closed workbook on this site but I can't get my head around incorporating them into my code!

Code listed below

Sub Check_File_Exists()

For date_test = 1 To 31

If Dir("H:BusinessRptTest for scripts" & date_test & "_CAI_AgentStats.xls") "" Then

Range("AE" & date_test + 11).Formula = "='H:BusinessRptTest for scripts[" & date_test & "_CAI_AgentStats.xls]" & date_test & "_CAI_AgentStats'!$D$4"

Macro To See If File Exists Or Password Protected

Nov 29, 2009

I have written a macro to select a range of cells one by one and open the excel files mentioned in them and execute a task. It works fine. But I want the system to see if the file exists in its folder or if the file is password protected (for opening). Either of the case the file should be skipped without a warning message and any attempt to open. I need a macro for that. Following is the way the cell contents are

I:ORDERSS-S 10ALIYAMARKET ORDERSADDADD-LADIES-LEGGINGS-13246.xls
I:ORDERSS-S 10ALIYAMARKET ORDERSADDADD-LADIES-PANTS-13247.xls
I:ORDERSS-S 10ALIYAMARKET ORDERSADDADD-LADIES-SHORTS-13244.xls
I:ORDERSS-S 10MICHELLEGAMESWORLDWIDE COMPANYWORLDWIDE COMPANY - GAMES - 10014.xls

VBA To Prompt If PDF Exists And To Overwrite - Close Existing File First?

Aug 17, 2014

I have an Excel sheet that I convert to PDF --here is Example of the name after PDF creates"Morning Report_08.16.14" , When it runs it just overwrites the file automatically if one was already on that date - I would like it to prompt to overwrite & if they choose 'yes' to overwrite the file and if not they can change the name If the new one is in addition to the one that already exists and I want it to save the new file with in the same folder.

Also when the current code is run if the PDF was left opened it stops the macro - Is it possible to see if that file is open and if so close it down so the code will work or is it possible to overwrite the file when open.

Save Workbook To Desktop If File Doesn't Exists

Sep 22, 2009

I'm having a slight problem with this script. What I'm looking to do is before the workbook is closed is check to see if the workbook already exisits on the users desktop if it doesnt then save it to the users desktop. if is does exists then just exit the sub. Here is what I have so far but for some reason it kept displaying the aleart message that the file already exists and wants to save it again.

I just added the displayalerts = false in but the script still does not know that file already exists. So when the file is closed it keeps saying file has been placed on your desktop.

Macro/function To Take Data From Source File Into Base File

Jun 24, 2006

I have a base excel file for summarizing some data, the problem is that the data comes from a different excel spreadsheet. What I want to do is make a function that pulls the data from another spreadsheet into my base file. It would be easy if it were just one excel sheet, but this job would require where the data is pulled from a data file which has many modified versions.

Can anyone tell me how to do this? The files with the data will be structured the exact same but with different data entered in. I just want a button so I can click the file I want the data from and have it show up on my summarizing base file.

Lookup Function: Compare Every Part In The All Parts Worksheet To See If The Part Number Exists On The Active Parts Sheet

Dec 10, 2008

I have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets. On the first "active parts" I have a list of active part numbers and on the second "All Parts" I have all of the parts available.

I want to compare every part in the All Parts worksheet to see if the part number exists on the Active Parts sheet - if it's there, I would like it to return the value "Active" in column B in All Parts. I have a formula in column B in All Parts that seems to work for the first few, but as soon as it finds one that is active, the rest of the cells below all return "Active".

Function To Return Last Modified File

Dec 22, 2008

I don't really know VBA more than just piecing together other people's work (so please dumb down your responses as much as possible).

So I would like to have a function that displays a filename within a cell. The filename I need to display will start with "cost" and have a date at the end (not always the same number of characters). I need to search a folder for all files that contain that text and return the last modified one.

I found this VBA code that returns the last modified file, but only filters based on the extension (which I would like to keep in the code as well).

Debug Function Called From Another File

Jun 26, 2007

I have a macro that calls functions from another workbook.

For example:

Application.Run Workbooks("common.xls").name & "!Arkusz1.CellChange", target
End Sub

But when I get an error in CellChange function from "common.xls" workbook, debugger points only to the third line of the code above, not to the bad line in called function.
Is there any way to change this behaviour (maybe some tool etc.)?
