I have the following code and I it works except it gives the full file path rather than just the name of the file.
I have been racking my brain for ages to try and figure how to just get the filename to show but I have been unsuccessful.
Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
Range("K43").Select
' Set up list of file filters
[Code].....
I have path data (subfolder depth varies) that I need to trim to filename only.
Example:
/folder1/folder2/filename1.eps
/folder1/folder2/folder3/filename2.eps
/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4/filename3.eps
Need to end up with:
filename1.eps
filename2.eps
filename3.eps
I have a query around a hyperlink.
Is there a function that i can add to a cell to display if the hyperlink path is valid
i.e., to show that the hyperlink path does not exist, I am feeding the hyperlink from 2 cells ...
is it possible to configure Excel in order to save the Hyperlink path for a file with absolute path and non relative?
I notice that the hyperlink is ....pdf ry.pdf
if I change the position of the file excel there is a problem!
I would like to save es. d:invoichepdf ry.pdf
I'm really looking for a way to get the full address of the external file by specifying the file name in a cell and then evaluate the formula. For example,
[Code] .....
is the full address of the source file called 'Source'. My idea is: if I just type the file name 'Source' in a workbook's cell $A$1, and in cell $B$1 I want to make the formula something like:
="C:Users["&$A$1&".xlsx]Sheet1'!$F$1"
This will make my project very impressive with this feature: a user just types the file name to establish the link and evaluate the formula for results.
I'm wondering what is the syntax to open a msoFileDialog box and select a file, resulting in setting a variable to the entire file path. If I use
msoFileDialogFilePicker
I'll only get the file name, without the path. I'd like to get the full path ending in the file name.
The folder which contains the Excel file I'm working on is
C:Usersar3DocumentsKey Performance Indicators
however if I place =INFO("directory") in a cell I get
C:Usersar3Documents
Is there a function where I can get the full path of the workbook in the cell?
I would like the full path in the excel 2007 title bar automatically every time I open a excel file.
The macros I try from other sources all end up in errors. I need step by step instructions.
whats the simplest method of including the FULL file path on all printouts from excel.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I'm trying to FIND the filename in a path such as:
F:userdjleeCSCAV Remarks.png
My path is different for each record.
I tried =RIGHT(C1,FIND("",C1)), but it does not recognize the "".
I 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?
In the attached excel, I will be putting a string (Which will be a result of another formula) and there will be a table in column A & B(Length of the table will vary).
What I need is a formula to search entire column B and get the file names which is having that string and also the corresponding path
Table E6 to F9 contains the desired result (The result wont be more than 3 at any point of time
Search.xlsx
I do a search on my directory for all *.xls files each month which produces a list some 11,000+ lines long. Attached is a very small sample.
I then import this into Excel – see tab Raw Data
What I want to produce is a list shown on tab Finished Data, so that I can then sort etc.
Has someone already done this before and got the code, or can someone point me in the right direction on how to arrive at the finished data?
Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
Dim exportFile As String
exportFile = "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_" & Format( Date, "dd-mm-yy") + "_" + Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss") & ".csv"
Open exportFile For Output As #1
I put a watch on exportFile and it's correctly set to: "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_15-02-07_17:55:01.csv"
However if I try to run this I get "bad file name or numer" when I open for output - the path exists and I can write to it, so must have a fundamentally wrong approach.
I am trying to allow users to select a file, and then the file name/ the file path / and date are added.
Right now, all those functions work in the following code, but the file path shows up as a letter drive. As there could be upwards of 50 people using this file and the mapped drive could be different, i wanted the full path to be displayed.
Code:
Private Sub File_1_overwrite_Click()
Dim filename As Variant
Dim filename1 As Variant
filename = Application.GetOpenFilename(, , "Select Programme")
filename1 = filename
filename1 = Mid(filename, InStrRev(filename, "") + 1)
File_1_link = filename
file_1_name = filename1
File_1_date = Format(Date, "MM/DD/YY")
I have a list of files in column A:
/folder/subfolder1/subfolder2/subfolder3/file1.txt
/folder/subfolder1/subfolder2/file2.txt
/folder/subfolder1/file3.txt
/folder/file4.txt
in column B I would like to see just the filenames:
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
file4.txt
How can I achieve this? On the internet I found this forumule which looks promising but unfortunately finds the first slash (instead of the last) and prints what's to the right of that slash:
=RIGHT(C2; LEN(C2) - SEARCH("/";C2))
Is there a way to find the full name and path of the workbook the macro is running in?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Excel 2010 spreadsheet contains client data like the below:
A
B
C
D
E
What I'm trying to get from this is a personally addressed email with 2 attachments, one will be standard to all recipients and one will be unique and specific to that recipient. The filename of the unique attachment will contain the reference but will have some other stuff in the filename as well on either side that I will not be able to remove.
In terms of the file locations the unique ones will be in subfolders of the folder holding this workbook and the generic one will be in the same folder as the this workbook.This is some adapted code that solved a similar problem (in Excel 2007 though) on a different website.
VB:
Sub Mail_Report()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object [code]....
In that case the file started with the "reference" field but in my case it is in the middle and the formats vary depending on the provider, there will only be a maximum of 5 providers but I would like to avoid 5 different macros if at all possible so I need a search function of some sort.
When 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.
I'm trying to add code that create a hyperlink to a file in a recently created folder in the path of L:Elec Dept ProjectsRELEASED FOR CONSTRUCTION". The code below should find the newly created *BOM*.xls created and created a hyperlink in the next available row starting on row 27 and column O on my worksheet "BOM". The code currently runs with no errors, but I'm not seeing any resulting text with path / links created.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI read about Hyperlinks in the August 2006 "OZGRID" Newsletters but found no answer.
Assume 2 workbooks - book1 and book2, both located in "c:" (root of drive C)
Now, In book1 I have declared an HL to book2 using CTRL+K and upon clicking in that cell the book2 is opened.
After MOVING(!) book1 to a new location (D:DATA) and clicking the HL - I get an Error "cannot open the specified file".
While book1 was still in root C: - I tried to force to c:ook2.xls by typing it in the HL address window but after saving, Excel deletes the "c:" and leaves "book2.xls" only – I think because both files were located I the same directory.
I am aware that my "problem" can be solved by using the function HYPERLINK – but I would like to learn (if possible) how to insert an HL using CTRL+K that will maintain the path although moving the file which contains the HL).
Can anyone tell me if its possible to input some ones initials into a cell and when you hit enter, their full name is displayed instead of the initials:

This is much more readable.
I am working with a catering form that someone else created at work. It has a drop down list of menu items available. Once an item is chosen, the item description pops up.
These descriptions are so much longer than anything else in the row (item name, qty, #, cost). Is there an option to make the full text temporarily visible by selecting the cell, and leave it cut off the rest of the time? I am trying to keep the form at one page.
I have a worksheet with a lot of different conditions applied to a lot of cells. I'd like to do some housekeeping, but to do that, I would like a clear and complete list of all cells that have conditional formats attached to them, and what the formula/criteria is for applying said format. I don't even care what the formatting is, but that would be nice too.
So, when I go to my "Conditional Formatting" screen, I get something like:
Now, this doesn't show me much of anything about what the formula actually is. I need to select it and look around. I'd rather just get a full listing of what the rule says...
And where I might have the same rule applied to different ranges of cells And so on.
I am running excel 2003 and I am looking for a function that will display the filename or part of the file name in a cell. I know you can do this as part of a header or footer but is there anyway to have an individual cell display the file name of the document?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to display the path result from a Floyd Algorithm matrix output..
You can download the excel file here : http://ifile.it/lw4tgic
It consists of 1044 nodes, and we need to find the path between 2 nodes for ALL pairs..
Now, to find the path between 2 nodes, we need to :
1. Find the resulting cell of corresponding 2 nodes (y to x = z)
2. Update the path with that value (y z x)
3. For all the direct pairs in the current path (yz, zx), find the resulting cell
4. If destination (x) not the same with result (z) then repeat step 1 for that pairs.
5. repeat until x = z for all pairs.
Maybe it's better if i use an example....
we'll use T01 to E78 as an example
T01-E78 = if you look in the table,
y (vertical) = T01,
x (horizontal) = E78
z (result) = E77, so
T01-E78 = E77, so path = T01-E77-E78
check if result of T01-E77 = E77 (x = z?)...........................
I have a list of 5,000 urls and I'd like to see what the actual url that is returned for each of them. For example, if I run the url www.example.com/runningshoes, that url may redirect to www.example.com/shoes. I'd like to see what each url returns. Is there a formula/macro that I can use to see this? I'm not very experienced in using macros, but I'm willing to give it a shot if it'll work.
