Plan Path And Actual Path Distance Calculation?
Feb 11, 2014I am using an XY scatter chart that displays the planned path and an actual path as I go. The planned path is set up in 100' increments and goes 12000' and actual path varies along the way.
My data that I use is the Northing (ft), Easting (ft) and Vertical Section (ft) for both the planned path and actual path.
I was wondering if there was an east way to get that information from the chart or if there is a formula that would allow me to calculate distance between the two points by using the data I use for my chart.

Trim Full File Name & Path To File Path Only
Sep 27, 2006I have a variable ("DestFile") that defines a path to a file (used in saving the file)...
I'm in the process of getting a Sub to hyperlink to this file, but in some circumstances, I may only want to hyperlink to the folder, not the actual file...
How would I go about trimming the "DestFile" address to get a "DestFldr" address?...
An example of "DestFile" might be;
S:BryanFor KenGulf ConstructionST0609014-t.xls
(the file name length may vary)
What code can I use to consistently trim it back to;
S:BryanFor KenGulf Construction
as the "DestFldr" variable?

Get Folder Name & Path
Jan 4, 2007I want to know how to index a drop down list to be used for calculations.
Up until now I was using
Range("B1").Select 'the cell where the drop down list is
ActiveCell.Formula = SiteID 'site id
But for whatever reason it trims a trailing zero from SiteID when setting it in the second line. SiteID is a VBA string.
Indexing it would work, as would preserving the zero so help on either one is appreciated. Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;Correction, I lied. I was using this line to set it.

Get Rid Of Path In File Name
Apr 26, 2007How can I get the name of a workbook WITHOUT the path when I have the name WITH the path?
To be more specific. When I use "Application. GetOpenFilename" the result is a file name for say "my_book" including the path. With this I can open the file using "Workbooks.Open" and Excel will show me "my_book". But when I want to reference this workbook later on in say "Workbooks(my_book)", then I need the file name without the path. How can I get that one in VBA?
Till now I was using "CurDir" to find out the path after opening the file and just subtracted it from the full file name. This seamed to be fine. But now I had a situation where CurDir gave me a path with abbreviations (~),

Shortest Path Between Cells (VBA)
Mar 2, 2014I am working on a project to clear festival events with simulation. Therefore I need a grid of Excel cells (the field), let's say 11x11 (B2:L12). And the exit is in cell A7.
I am looking for an algorithm which fills this field with distances to the exit. For horizontal and vertical movements the distance is 1, and for diagonal movements the distance is 1.5
Say I made a class Coordinate which has two points, X & Y I declare a variable point, as the location I am in (the active cell) and a constant exit (the coordinate of the exit)
And then I would like a function in VBA which does:

How To Incorporate Variable Into Path
Feb 8, 2012I am using a script within excel as part of this script I want create a new folder to store information
Code:
ChDir "C:Documents and SettingsAdminDesktopMIKEPAYROLL2011-12"
However I want to use a variable called "NEWYEAR" which holds the 2011-12 part

Find 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

Relative File Path VBA?
Feb 28, 2014I have a WinForm, which I'm calling via VBA's Shell command:
Code:
Sub Button1_Click()
Shell "C:TemplateFuncitons.exe " + ActiveWorkbook.FullName, 1
End Sub
I made this module an Excel Add-in and added it as a button in the quick access toolbar. Now, the idea is for the WinForm.exe and the Excel.xla to always be in the same directory (go hand in hand). I want to make a relative path for the .exe which will be the path to the folder where the .xla is + the string "TemplateFunctions.exe" in the end.

Extract File Name From Path
Jan 10, 2008I am having trouble with a macro of mine. Essentially it opens a file, based on user input (Full path is stored in variable FilePath), but then I want to select that workbook, and therefore need just the .xls filename. I figured I would create a new variable, FileName, to pull out the filename.
How can I edit the string in my macro to extract just the filename.xls from the full path?
Hyperlink Initial Path
Aug 14, 2008When inserting a hyperlink in an Excel cell, the default pathname for the new link is always the current pathname of the workbook. After navigating to a distant pathname and inserting a hyperlink, inserting the next hyperlink in the next cell starts all over again at the current path.
Is there a method of telling Excel to start looking in z:\ABC instead of the current path? This would eliminate navigating through the entire path for each link.
A macro that handles the hyperlink and puts up a navigation window or something like that would be ok.
Return File Path

If fn = False Then
MsgBox "Nothing Chosen"
Else
MsgBox "You chose " & fn
'now that you have the name, you can open it or do something else
End If
Workbooks.Open fn
End Sub
What I would like is the filepath (of the file they choose) to appear as the displayed caption on another button or label.
Convert Path Name To Short
Jul 8, 2009I've got a variable path for a file stored in a cell inside a worksheet that I need to convert to the old dos format (no spaces).
From c:Awesome FileFTPMy Awesome File.txt
to c:Awesom~1FTPMy~1.txt
The actual path/file name is much longer and is determined by multiple fillable fields, cells, and drop down menu's so the only feasible way at the moment seems to be that I need some code to convert the file/path name all at once.
After doing a little searching on google I came up with several that could determine the short path name of the actual workbook, but none that could convert a path that was different from the workbook.
Import Worksheet Without Specifying Path
Aug 17, 2009I am trying to do, I have a master workbook (Formatter.xls) which contains a macro 'Import'.
When run, I want to open a series of workbooks - the filenames are listed in cells B3:B20, and the workbooks are located in the same folder as Formatter.xls
I am trying to open each of the workbooks listed in B3:B20, copy the entire contents of Sheet1 to a new sheet in Formatter.xls. The names of the new sheets are listed in cells C3:C20 in Formatter.xls.
The biggest problem is that I don't want to have to specify a path to the files to be imported. Since they are all in the same folder will this be a problem? Alternatively (and I have absolutely no idea how to acomplish this), would it be possible to have an input box to browse to the folder containing all of the files?
The reason that I can't specify the path is because it will be run on different computers and the locations / paths will change all of the time.
File/Path Error
Nov 19, 2009We have built quite a large Excel based program that contains quite a lot of coding. the program seems to work fine the majority of the time but every so often we recieve an error message that causes excel to not save, or to crash and shut down.
The message that comes up is "File/Path Error"
Now I've just done some hunting around online and some links I have found speak of declairing the document location correctly in the coding. I was wondering could this be the issue at hand?
Anytime the document needs to save, there is a cell with the directory path and file path declared as a variable (Actually as Dim String) within the coding. Is this the best way to declare a file path?
Also, the problem seems intermittent. We Compile the VBA coding before saving, we also use a Clean Project add-in within Excel. These processes usually help but every so often the problem comes back.
Take Save Path From Cell

View 9 Replies View RelatedSpaces In Path And Filename
May 9, 2006I have a problem with paths and filenames with spaces.
If the the excel file containing the macro file is opened from explorer rather than from within excel, the path is incorrect. Therefore I use the following
Dim varPath As String
varPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDir varPath
I can then later call either varPath or the VBA GetCurDir and it will be correctly set.
However, when I call a Shell function as in the example:
Dim varPath As String
Dim fPath As String
varPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDir varPath
fPath = varPath & " emp"
MsgBox fPath & "test.bat"
Shell fPath & "test.bat"
I get the message box: e:local data tables emp est.bat
I get the error: Runtime Error 5, Invalid procedure call or argument.
Without having to rename the path structure so that it doesn't have spaces (which isn't always possible), how can I get this to work?
