Getting Filename Without Extension And Separating Value Based On Character?

Jan 22, 2014

I want to develop a macro for getting filename without extension and seperating the value into two variables.

Requirement:

I have a folder with 3 subfolders inside.

Each subfolder has few files in it.

I will give main folder as input and it should check all subfolders/main folder for files and take that files and modify as shown in below example:

Example of one file: TEST-123_REV00.pdf

Here TEST-123 is the document name
REV00 is the revision of the document
pdf is as usual the extension.

Now my requirement is to prepare an output file with all these files in a text file.

The output is in this format..

Document Name | Revision Name.

Text To Columns - Separating Numbers From Character-strings

Feb 10, 2014

I have a field that contains rows of data, each made up of a Number followed by Text. The length of the numbers differ - sometimes 4 digits, sometimes 5 or 6. Similarly, the text differs by word-count. An example is

2546 Nags Head
75698 Dog & Duck
634 Crown

I want a way of dividing the numbers from the text (numbers in one column and text in another).

Standard 'Text to Columns' won't work: I can't use 'Fixed Width' due to the number-length varying, and I can't use 'Delimited' and [space] as it will then split all the text up word-for-word (concatenating them back will take ages as my list is 480 rows long).

Separating Out Values Based On Title Then Calculating Average

Jun 15, 2014

I have a list of houses for sale in various suburbs, divided into houses with various amounts of rooms.

I want to be able to find the average cost of each size house in each individual suburb.

i.e. City Centre, 3 Bedroom, 250000
City Centre, 2 Bedroom, 200000
City Centre, 1 Bedroom, 150000

What is the best way of doing this? Multiple worksheets?

Obviously the sample worksheet I have supplied is quite small, I will be working with much larger lists once.

Copy Files Based On Part Filename

Nov 29, 2006

I have code that takes full cell with filename, looking for it in certain directory and copying to another directory.

Sheets("Unique").Select
Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select

For Each rng In Selection
If rng.Offset(0, 4).Value <> "" And InStr(1, rng.Offset(0, 4).Value, "http") = 0 Then
FileCopy SourcePath & rng.Offset(0, 4).Value, ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & DestPath & "" & rng.Offset(0, 4).Value
End If
Next rng

I want to change the code that it will copy based on number. Any suggestions?

Example:

I have range of filenames.
10989478.MEC0388A-L0_RoHS_globemotors_1.pdf
10989495.Keystone_M1.4cat. zip
10989559.MEC0388A-L0_RoHS_qualtek.pdf
I want to copy files starting with 10989478, 10989495, 10989559. I mean ignore the part after "dot".

Attach Files To Email Based On Partial Filename?

Jul 31, 2014

I'm currently creating E-mails containing a table of material numbers in the body of the message. The E-mail is generated with a macro from a table in excel. In some folder - say on the desktop - I have PDF files for each material Number. Each file is called 0012345_Product-Name.pdf where 0012345 is the material number (always 7 digits). I want the macro to look for the pdf for each material number found in the table and add it to the E-mail as an attachment. With constant, known file names this wouldn't be much of an issue. However, I'm having trouble getting the macro to only search for the first 7 digits of the filename and select it based on that.

Since we are talking up to several 100 PDF's, it would also be great to zip them, once selected - if at all possible, before attaching them to the E-mail

Generate A 6 Digits Code Based On Filename And Time Of Generation?

Aug 20, 2009

I need to enter a revision string into a file.

Basically, I need to combine the filename and its generation time and then encode it into a string (i.e. a 6 digits HEX code or 6 digits using [0-9][a-z][A-Z]) so it would generate a pretty much unique revision number.

So, is there any function that you can think of that would do something similar?
If not, what is the best to tackle this?
Generate a CRC or md5sum?

What would be in your opinion a quick and efficient way to solve this tricky one?

Excel 2010 :: Macro To Open XLSM File Based On Latest Date Found In Filename

Feb 11, 2013

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.

Delete Row Based On Starting Character 1st Then Contains

Jun 23, 2007

I would like to create a macro that deletes all rows starting with an open parenthensis in column B. The contents of what is in parenthis varies from 2 letters up - so anything starting with a parenthis is sufficient criteria.

After the initial deleting (mentioned above), would also like to delete (from column B again), rows containing specific, multiple phrases.

None of the functions I have see so far will facilitate this...

Highlight Row Certain Color Based On Character From Cell?

May 11, 2013

INVENTORY-TRACKER.xlsx

I have a attached an inventory spreadsheet that I use at work. The only active column that gets data entered into it, is column E "Qty (Pcs)". I enter quantities of inventory in this column.

In column B is the part numbers for product. The letters at the end of the part numbers are associated with certain colors that you can see in the small chart to the right of the report. H=Yellow, M=Blue, S=Green, V=Orange and P=Purple.

What I am trying to achieve is when I type a value in the Qty (Pcs) row. I would love for the entire row that contains data to highlight in the respective color based on what letter is at the end of the part number in column B.

Example - I type 100 in E2 and the entire row of data turns Orange because the V at the end of 13001 is associated with Orange.

Condition Statement Based On 2nd To Last Character Of String?

Apr 10, 2012

I am trying to pull certain members loads from our global design force spreadsheet and because of the naming convention we used for our structural members the 2nd to last character is unique to what I am looking for. I am trying to get a simple condition statement that will display the load only if the 2nd to last character of the name of the element is satisfied.

For Example, if "T" is what I am looking for then :

EDT4 will be true and give me the value accordingly
D10T1 Will also be true and return me the value
D10B2 Will not be true

I know how to use the Mid() and right() function, but I need to check the 2nd from the right.

Excel 2010 :: Increase Character Limit In Text Box That Is Based On Formula?

Mar 7, 2012

I have a text box that is set to "=B1". B1 is a cell from an Access table import with memo format. The text memo is long, probably on average between 1000-2000 characters. I have set up the text box to automatically resize for the text, but the text stops at what I assume is 255 characters, even though cell B1 displays the entire memo.

How can I set it up so that this text box (or any other similar shape) displays the text and retains its resize/wrap property?

This is done in Excel 2010.

Append All Digits Before Character To All Numbers Between The Same Character

May 18, 2008

I have got a list of numeric abbreviations, for instance 10739011/21/31/41. What it should really display are the numbers 10739011, 10739021, 10739031 and 10739041 (the first six figures stay the same). All the numbers in my list are 8 figures long. I want to change the list from the list seperated by the backward slash to the complete numbers. I have uploaded an example of the list with backward slash between the numbers. Is there a way that Excel can automatically change these numbers to the full numbers?

Because all the numbers are 8 figures long, I thought the first 6 figures of the 1st number can be copied and those 6 figures pasted before the other two figures after the backslash. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;sorry, pressed OK too quickly. The problem is that there are sometimes 4 numbers in the cell, sometimes 6 and once three. I would like Excel to complete all the numbers in the cell and then move on to the cell underneath it and so on. Also, I would like each number to have it's own cell.
