Import Macro With No Extensions By Timestamp
Mar 25, 2007
I want to automate the download process of these scan files we use. I can figure out how to do that if not for the two wildcards I'm about to throw out.
What I can't seem to figure out is how to use VBA to determine which files to import. I was thinking about possibly having VBA look for the time stamps on these files in the scan file directory, and then only import those ones which created in less than an hour from current time.
I have only a few days of VBA experience, so I don't have a clue where to start. If anyone could provide assistance/point me in the right direction.
By the way, the files that I am importing will be a comma delimited file. However, for some reason, the files are all extensionless (without .xxx)

The macro should...
1. Autofill dates from the Start Date ("D5") for x amount of years. Autofill begins in Range("C10")
2. Point out the THIRD 'wednesday' of every month with a "1" in column D.
3. Point out the second last 'weekday' of every month with a "1"in column E.

I am using the following code to add in an entry to the sheet named "Upload Log". I am currently using the "Now" function to input date and time. problem is everytime the sheet changes the formula changes and alters the times. I am trying to create a log of each time this code runs. so I have a record of it. This code seems to work but rather than placing the formula in the cell as I have written here, I just want the code to place the values that formula would place, but not the actual formula. How can I change this code to do that?

I have a column of cells in my worksheet that look like this:
1/1/2007 10:53:31 AM
1/1/2008 8:35:46 AM
1/1/2008 8:35:54 AM
1/10/2008 1:39:26 PM
As you can see this is a timestamp in the format: m/d/yyy hh:mm:ss a/pm
The problem is that I’m trying to import this data into another program that accepts the same format without the SECONDS field: m/d/yyy hh:mm a/pm
Since I have thousands of rows of data it just isn’t feasible to go through and manually remove the seconds data from each cell.
Is there a macro or some other shortcut that can do this?
The ultimate goal would be to have the data above end up looking like this:
1/1/2007 10:53 AM
1/1/2008 8:35 AM
1/1/2008 8:35 AM
1/10/2008 1:39 PM

I have a workbook that will need data from another which will be located in the same directory. I need to open this workbook however the filename will be imported daily and be different each time (i.e. 010707.xls, 010807.xls, etc.) The only two files residing in the directory will be the active file and the one that needs to be opened. Is there a way to assign a variable for the 010707? Currently I have the following and need to manually modify the file name: Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:My Documents emplate10707.xls"

I have a phone list and I am trying to add a search box to it that when you type in the Employee name, it will return the value of the cell adjacent to the search result so the extension can show up.
I am a VBA Novice, but I have found plenty of code for the searching aspect of it. I am having trouble figuring out how to have the search occur and then return a different value then what was originally searched for.
Ideally I would like the msg box to show both the employee's full name and extension.

I have managed to come up with the following macro. The problem I have is that some of the data are imported in text format, while other data are imported in general format.
I have a large data set, with more then 5,000 rows, and 2,000 columns, and I would like ALL the data imported at text. How can I modify this macro to make that happen?
Code:
Sub ImportData()
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _"TEXT;C:Users*****ATTRIBUTES-ModifiedExport.csv", Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "ATTRIBUTES-ModifiedExport.csv"
.FieldNames = False
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False

I wish to click on a button in a worksheet which then looks in a particular folder on the local drive. Any file with a .xml extension import into the worksheet.
What if 2 or more xml files are present? The xml file filename ends with the date & time the file was generated, eg BPSEvent_10033_Tam_20140116124216
Can a code look for the oldest file to import based on the end of the filenaming format - yyyymmddhhmmss
Code to then delete the last xml file imported would be good too.

The following code (blue font) finds specific worksheets in an active workbook, and copies them into a new workbook then names the new workbook the same name of the worksheet. It all works perfectly.
The second code below (red font) imports some vb into the new workbook. It works fine if I manually open the new workbook and run it in the immediate window. However, I would like to incorporate the red code into the blue code so it all runs as one. I've tried inserting the red line after the "ws.copy after" line and after the ".saveas" line, but no dice.
For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
If UCase(Left(ws.Name, 2)) = "CC" Then

I would like to have a macro that will allow me to browse to the desired file and import the data into columns. I have the macro working to the point of allowing me to browse, select the file, and pasting the contents into the active sheet.
The things that I need help with are:
1. Getting the data to paste into a specific cell instead of A1. Currently the code is
CELLS.SELECT
ACTIVESHEET.PASTE
I would like the data to start in A7.
2. Getting the file parsed into columns. The format of the .DAT file is static and only has 4 columns. Currently when it imports, the entire record (row) all of the data is in the same column. I would like it separated into individual columns if possible.

1. I've recorded a macro that imports values from 6 different .csv files at once. The problem is that not all of these files are going exist upon import. Is there a way to tell the macro to only import if the file exists? And to skip if the import of that file if it doesn't exist? Right now the debugger stops the macro because of file not found.
2. I want to press a button on Sheet 1 that copies Sheet 1 into a new Sheet that's named with today's date. E.g. I press the "Archive"-button, the sheet is copied to a new sheet with the name "051308".

I have a TXT file that is properly format for a nice print out but not in any fashion to work in an excel or access file.
My txt file looks something like this
Header info Row 1
Header info Row 2
Header info Row 3
ACCT# Value Descripton ~ Part number
Customer Name ~ Vendor Name
Customer add1 ~ Vend add1
Customer add2 ~ Vend add2
Custom city, st, zip ~ vend city, st, zip
Repeat about 5 or 6 more entries
do a page bread and repeat the headers and then 5 or 6 more entries
I want to automatically copy the entries and place the data into Row 1 of Excel starting in Column 1 through Column 12
Then the 2nd entry would be in row 2 etc

I'm trying to create a macro that will import data from another excel
file, into my current excel file.
Basically, I see the process going as follows:
1. Run Macro via Button
2. Pop-Up Window asking for File Location (importBook)
3. Import Data from importBook into sheet entitled Data
4. Click OK once import is complete
I've got some knowledge of coding but macro coding knowledge is
limited. If anyone has an existing code or can whip one up, I would be
very appreciative.
I started out with this
Dim filename As Variant
filename = Application. GetOpenFilename()
Workbooks.Open filename

I've got a basic handle on the application/use of macros, & personally use them for cleaning up data exported from a very very old as400esq application.
My problem is that i have managed to clean up all the blank data & piffle, but Im stupped by the header part of the text dump.
Heres an example;
A B C D E F
-------------------Header A-------------
1 3 john 50 piano
4 1 Bill 25 horn
6 5 Ted 60 trumpet
-------------------Header B-------------
3 3 Phil 71 Cello
1 1 James 83 Viola
3 2 Earnie 62 Violin
I basically want to rid the header rows from the spreadsheet & drop the header description (Header A/ Header B) into column F for all those items below until you get to the next header.

I need to import a number of log files into a spreadsheet, each log will go into a separate tab. The logs are text files (.log) that have the same structure but slightly differ from each other.
For example all the logs will have many lines of data all starting with a date and then a number of delimited fields. In some logs the delimiter is a coma, in others is a unique charachter such as "{" or "@". Also the delimited fields are not a given quantity, they can vary too from log to log. How can I write a macro that understands what delimiter needs to be used and then imports all the file accordingly into one spreadsheet (in separate tabs)?
I tried something with the macro recorder and browsed for directions on the internet but really am clueless on this one. I am using windows 2000, and referenced Windows Scripting Runtime.

I am trying to use a dynamic VBA code to import data into a xcel sheet from another sheet. I currently have it working but in the code I have the directory and the file name listed for the file to be imported. I would like to change this to a cell referance inside my sheet so that I can make changes to the name of the file or the directory location and the VBA code would use the cell reference as the source data.

after importing data (data >> get external data >> import text file) and running a macro that contains
Cells(i, 5).EntireRow.Delete Shift:=xlShiftUp
i cannot insert any data into the next column below. why is this so? is it because of the excel memory that remembers that a macro has been previously ran in that cell before? example i import text file into B1 then the data will be imported into different cells using delimiters. the data will occupy from row 1 to 22. After i run the macro which combines fields with similar data the data will occupy row 1 to 15. then when i try to import data into B16. the "import text file" option will be grayed out. why is this so? how do i solve the problem?

I'm attempting to import around 200 (and growing!) separate text files into Excel. I am using the formula below to import the text file and then using a separate macro to select the information I need, copy it into another spreadsheet, and then run the import macro again.
However, I have a problem in that my import macro gives me 'Run-time error '1004:
Application defined or user defined error''. At first this wasn't a problem as the information is pasted into the spreadsheet despite the error anyway. However, now that I am looping the macro it is obviously causing more problems as it prevents the loop. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows of a work-around or can spot an error in the coding to resolve this!
The code below shows is for the import macro only:
Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String)
Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim TempVal As Variant
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim NextPos As Integer
Dim SaveColNdx As Integer
