Get Data From Changing Filenames & Move Files To Another Folder
Nov 22, 2007
I am trying to develop an excel macro to accomplish the following:
-I have a master workbook for collecting data
-One folder will be used to dump excel files into; I don't know the filenames (other than "*.xls"), but I do know from which cells I will need to retreive data (they will be the same for all files)
1. I need to retrieve data from these excel files
2. After getting data from a file, it is then moved to another folder
3. Next the retreive data, then move is performed on the next excel file until there are none left in C:IN
Upon searching this forum, I found a way to open each of these files one by one (without having to know the filenames): Using a script to open unspecified file name
- For me, the obstacle seems to be not knowing how to do what I need to without knowing the filenames
- Again, the issue - retrieve data from these files, then rename/move these files

In the code below I would like to add to move these files:
byemployee.csv
byposition.csv
status report.xls
bydepartment.csv
and if the file byband.csv exists, then move also otherwise ignore. I want to move to the folder Uploads which is also found under the variable MyPath
If it cannot be included in this code, then I have no problem with a new one.
Private Sub Exitbtn_Click()
Dim MyPath$, MyName$
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Call chooseView.hideSheets
'Save the file to this path and type file name
[Code]....

I have the following two folders located in my D Drive:
1. D:FilesData
2. D:FilesArchives
I have lots of files (.txt) in the first folder (D:FilesData) from which I need to move all the files whose first character is starting with _(underscore) to the second folder (D:FilesArchives).

I am trying to create a chart that will automatically expand to include additional rows. I have seen posts and examples of the kind of chart I am aiming for, but only showing one series… my chart needs to show several series and be able to add new ones in automatically. For example, I want to make a chart showing the Total Market, and each separate manufacturer, over 13 time periods. If a new manufacturer appears, I would like the chart to show it without having to manually change the source data. (see attached spreadsheet)

I have the following macro set up to create a folder in a directory as per the contents of 2 cells
C2 = Folder name to be created
B2= Date for previous working day
[code]....
I then have another macro that moves files into a specified folder within the same location ( I then manually move them into the folder the first macro created)
Is there a way I could get the files to move to the newly created folder without me having to do it manually.

i want to use the "Browse for Folder" to select the folder where the files is in eg. E:My DocsGlobal and list the folder location and filenames to table (column I:J), and color them according to every folder location.
I would like the "Browse for Folder" windows to be able to select multiple files instead of just one file a time.

getting a function working within Excel 2010. What I'm trying to do is to first look in a specific directory and loop through each foldername then check to see if the foldername exists in column B of my worksheet. If the foldername exists then check Column E of the same row for a specific value ("assigned") and then make sure column F of the same row has no picture inside the cell. If those three things exist (column B foldername and column E "assigned" and no picture in column F), then add a picture to column F of the same row as the foldername with a hyperlink to a filename of "notes.one" in that specific folder. Then just loop through each foldername in the specific directory until all foldernames have been checked.

Is it possible to have a spreadsheet that when opened grabs data from every file with "*invoice" in the title in folder 2009 and all its sub directories and puts them into a list in the opened file?
The data needed is to be from sheet1, cells B16, C18, G18 from all the files
and i would like B16 put into A2, C18 into B2 and G18 into C2
Then the next sheets data B16 to A3, C18 B3 and G18 to C3 etc etc until all files with invoice in the title have been added.
B16 is a name
C18 is an address and
G18 is a postcode
This means there can be no duplicates so if opened twice there will only ever be 1 of the same address and postcode.

I need a macro in a workbook to look at all the files in the same folder that have "*att*.xls" in the name and determine and copy from the range A15:W515 only the rows that have data in at least columns A, C and D. Each file will vary as to how many rows there will be and there are more than the files with "*att*.xls" in the folder. The data will be on the only worksheet in each file and the worksheet is named "G2WAttendee_xls" the data from all the files need to be copied to the file called "Consolidated webinar reports.xls" (I am using Excel 2003) and to a sheet called "Attendance Data" and added to the end of the last paste.
At the start of the macro the current file "Consolidated webinar report.xls" should be saved to a sub folder of the current directory and have the date saved added to the name. The sub folder is called "Completed reports". The data in the original file on worksheet "Attendance Data" should be deleted.
At the end of the process all the files that have had data copied from them should be moved to the sub folder "Attendance reports consolidated" (This could be done as each file is closed if that is easier).
I have headings in row 1 of the "Attendance Data" worksheet that match the headings in the various files in the folder (which will always be in row 14 of the individual "*att*.xls" files).
The folder with all the files and the "Consolidated webinar report.xls" file is at path "Z:P and S MEvaluationsWebinar series 2012-13TB".

Scenario; I have 3rd party software that pulls reports in .csv files. I want to summarise this data into another spread sheet. Ideally I would like to save these files into a folder on the network and my summary workbook simply looks for this folder and is able to find data within all Excel files saved in there (new files will be added on a monthly basis).
Once it has found the folder there will be 2 pieces of data to evaluate; Cell $B$1; this will be the name of a course (e.g. health & safety, money laundering etc.) Column $D; this will contain the score achieved by multiple learners.
The summary spreadsheet then averages all of the scores for the different courses(in seperate cells)
The idea is that the .csv files can be pulled and saved into said folder and eliminates the need to manually input this data into the summary spreadsheet.

I have a set of workbooks-all located in the same folder-in which data are shown "horizontally"
i.e. file 1 - sheet1 looks more or less like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6
same with the other files.
what I am trying to achieve is that in another woorkbook, all the data are copied in one vertical vector
i.e
1
2
3
4
5
6 from file 1 and then
1
2
3
4
5
6 from file 2
I can seem to be able to resize the array to the correct size but the only values copied are for the last file. in the example that I have above, the result would look something like:
<empty>
<empty>
<empty>
<empty>
<empty>
<empty>
1
2
3
4
5
6
This is the code I have so far:
Sub Consolidate()
Dim a As Workbook
Dim b As Workbook
Dim x, y(), i&, j&, k&
Dim myPath As String
Dim filename As String
Dim wb As Workbook
[Code] .........

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 is it possible to convert all comma separated text files in a single folder in to excel files. But the requirement is to have 2 sheets in each new file. first to be the full file - with all columns, and in the second sheet to keep only colum A B D G H K L M O P R S T V W from the first sheet. The second sheet name must be the same as the first one but without the first "wlist_" in the name.
One more thing. The third column in the second is called "COUL". there are short letters for colors in french
can they be converted with the sort in English like it goes:
NO = B
BA = W
RG = R
SO = P
JA = Y
BE = L
VE = GY
GR = G
VI = V
MA = BR
BJ = TA
OR = O
Here is a link to the both CSV and an example excel file with the end result. In this example i haven`t change the shorts for the colors. It takes me too much time with the find and replace function. And at the moment i`m really pushed from time.

Is there a code that will search a pre-determined folder for all .xls files containing the word "Temp", and deleting those files?
Example:
In the root of drive M, I have several Excel files. Anytime one of the original tracking logs is opened, a temp file of that log is automatically created. I would like to automatically search the drive and delete all files containin the word "Temp".
I've attached a picture of the directory tree, in case that will help. The file will always be named "PO Response Tracking - Temp#######.xls", with ###### representing a series of either 5 or 6 numbers.

All I have a macro that goes to a "Main" folder modifies the excel sheet and then saves. Is there a way to move that "Modified" sheet to the correct folder after?
All of the excel sheets are named like this:
Bldg _ Date
1130_2008-January
1200_2008-March
1300_2008-January
I need the Bldg # to be a folder.
So all of the Excel files are in this folder: C:Documents and Settingsu369875DesktopProject stuffTestin Save_AS
And then at the end of that I need the bldg Number from the front of the excel name. So for the first one : C:Documents and Settingsu369875DesktopProject stuffTestin Save_AS1130
Or I could even put that building # in the excel at lets say (A1) and grab from there if that would work..
Here is the macro I have as of now. It loops through all of the excels in the folder.
Main Macro (calls out Macro2 & Macro3)

I've (almost) got a macro that modifies & saves a file. I don't want to post it yet because I need to clean it up and I've got a ton of REM'd out statements that I need to flush before I go public....
How can I modify it to open each file in the folder? I'm looking at several thousand files that need to be changed and put away in the correct folder.
(and I say almost because I had it and accidently ran it on my personal workbook and it deleted itself....

I have created a Spreadsheet that does all of the calculations, analysis, graphs, etc. that i need; however every time I wish to use this spreadsheet I need to first open up a spreadsheet with data, copy it and then paste it into the original spreadsheet. While this is not horrible, it is quite tedious to do several thousand times.
Thus, I was wondering if it were possible to create a Macro that would open up all files in a specific folder, then select each one and paste the relevant data into my original spreadsheet. I know this possible for specific files; for example, I have created a Macro that will select files data.xls, dats1.xls, data2.xls, and paste these into the spreadsheet, but I was wondering if there was a way to generalize this so that it will simply open every file regardless of the name or how many files there are in the specific folder.
