Find Workbook Name In Specific Folder
Oct 27, 2006I am trying to have a worksheet linked to another workbook, but this workbook name will change. It will always start with Blockbuster - Valuation but the rest of the file name is the date and the version of the workbook. Do you know how VBA can go in a folder and look for the entire file name of a workbook starting with Blockbuster - Valuation.
View 3 Replies View RelatedVBA Code To Find A Folder Name Within Parent Folder That Contains Defined Text
Jul 23, 2014I 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.
For All Workbooks In Folder - Copy Range To Different Workbook - Save To New Folder?
Apr 21, 2014I have up to 50 workbooks in one folder with data in a specific range. I also have one workbook which includes additional data, including conditional formatting and dropdowns. I need to copy the desired range from the first workbook in the source folder to the second workbook, then save the latter to my destination folder, using the same name as the first. I need to repeat this process for all workbooks in the source folder.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSaveAs - Copy Sheet Into New Workbook And Save It In Same Folder As Original Workbook
Jun 17, 2014I have been trying to edit a code which previously saved a copy in a new workbook to a specific folder/path. (Additionally it copies and clears some figures, but this is working as it should.)
However I would like the copy to be saved at the same location as the original workbook, regardless of the path the original workbook is saved.
I.e if I need to move the workbook containing the code to a new folder/location, when using the macro, the new copy should be stored in the same folder/location as the original one.
For now it is only saving the copy into "My Documents"
Code:
Sub Macro1()

' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 16-02-2009 by ceng

Sheets("Bunker ROB").Select
Sheets("Bunker ROB").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _

For Each Workbook In Folder
Jun 16, 2008I currently am using fileSearch but am now having to update my code because of Excel 2007. I ran into a problem and am now redoing my code.
I need an example without using fileSearch to loop through each .xls and .xlsx file in a particular folder
What I had:
With Application.fileSearch
.SearchSubFolders = True
.NewSearch
.Filename = ".xls"
.LookIn = UserFile
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
.Execute
ffc = .FoundFiles.Count
For i = 1 To ffc
I am a bit rusty at VB because I haven't had to do it in a while, and my searches on the board for help on this haven't got me to the right info yet.

View 8 Replies View RelatedFind Path With Only Having Folder Name
Apr 11, 2012Is there a way to find a folders path? I have a folder Dropbox
I want to find the path up to this folder on the current computer. Is there a method to accomplish this?
I am fine if you want to give VBA code so I can put it in my immediate window for now and then I can attempt to add it to existing code later.
So an Example of the possible result would be
Directory is C:MyNameUserDropbox
Or on another computer maybe C:User1ListingFilesDropbox
Find Filename In Folder
Apr 10, 2007I have created a separate SAVE button that when the user hits that button, it saves the file in a network drive using the current date as part of the save-file name. Ie: Sheet20070408.xls, Sheet20070409.xls, Sheet20070410.xls, and Sheet20070411.xls.
I am currently working out all the "idiot proof" safety features. My code looks something like this:
oldfilename = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
newfilename = "C:NetworkFolder" & format(date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=newfilename
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=oldfilename
Why am I saving it twice? When the user clicks SAVE, I want to save over the copy of the current sheet they use, even if they save it on their desktop, and then save it to the network drive. This way, if they keep a second copy in an easy to find location, it will save the data to that sheet as well. Just in case they forget to save on the current sheet. I need to be sure each copy of the file has the most up-to-date information, as well as save a copy for retention.
My question is this: Can I search a folder for an existing file name? If the user goes into the network drive to open an old file for retention and they click SAVE, I don't want to accidentally overwrite a file in the retention folder.

Find Newest File In A Folder
Oct 29, 2008I am doing a project for work at the moment where by I have to manipulate a report compiled by an external program and do various bits and bobs to it. Trouble is, the other program creates a new version every time it runs the report (i.e filename.1.xls, and the next day filename.2.xls, and so on). Is there any way of searching the folder these files are in to find the newest file and select that one as the one to open and manipulate? There will be no files other than these in the folder.

Workbook Does Not Copy To Vba Created Folder

Copying All Workbooks In A Folder Into 1 Workbook
Feb 27, 20071. I have a large number of Test Suites that are large documents with 1 (visible) sheet w/ test cases, and 1 (hidden) sheet w/ validations. Test Suite is saved with a unique name (that follows a naming convention we've set up on this project: <Project>_<Test Suite Category>_<Location in Software>_< date>.xls
2. I need to create a master document in which i can run a macro that will copy each "test suite" sheet from each of these documents, insert it into the master doc, and sort the sheets by name. then it needs to present the data from all of the sheets on the main page of the doc, and break down the results by Test Suite Category, and Location.
Is this possible?
Can I create a macro that will import sheets from (potentially) hundreds of different workbooks, and then sort them appropriately?
I've been looking all over the place, and while i've seen macros that can import specific data, rows, or columns, i havn't quite seen what i'm looking for.

View 1 Replies View RelatedVBA Code To Find Last Modified Document In A Folder
Dec 18, 2012I currently have a code that searches a folder, opens a spreadsheet, and then copies over the "Status" tab to the Master document.
New spreadsheets will be created a couple times a week, so I would like the code to be able to search this folder for the most recently modified document and then open THAT document.
So, if my folder has..
Report 10May11
Report 05May11
Report 17May11
Then, I would want a code to search in this folder for the most recently updated document (in this case "Report 17May11.xlsx) and then go through the step I have above where it copies over the various tab.
Basically, this code would I guess replace the example code I have below.

Extra Files Created In Same Workbook Folder
Jan 22, 2009I have a Workbook that is located in a Networked Folder and is used by several people every day. The Workbook has a lot of VBA and also has links to other workbooks. I am noticing that over time there are several extra files being created from this excel workbook, in the same folder. The Workbook is the only file in this folder. They are not associated with any program and are just a File Type. They are titled a series of 8 random Letters and Numbers and range is size from 700 KB to about 1 MB (Slightly smaller then the Workbook file size).
Also, Is possible to automatically delete these files when they are not needed? or better yet is there some way to Prevent these files from being created in the first place?
