Insert Video Clips From Folder
Nov 9, 2008
I have been looking at the ShowFilePicsDemo.xls from www.contextures.com written by Ron Coderre. This spreadsheet and macros allows a user to choose from a list a picture by name, and the macro references it with the location of the file, the opens the file and the picture appears in a specified range of cells on the spreadsheet.
I was hoping to use it but with very short clips (2-3 secs) as I need to go through about 350 clips one by one to look at oddities on them. I have manually started a macro to insert the video clip in the sheet using the tip given on a thread in this forum called "Playing a video during the presentation" where all the steps are explained. When I reread the macro however, the clip is embedded as an object and loses its identity which means that the macro has no reference to the location of the file which could be used for the next clip.

I'm trying to write some VB code that will call up a sound file each time I give a new cell focus.
Example:
Cell A1 holds value "Hello"
I'm trying to write code that calls a sound clip I've recorded that says "Hello" when I select A1
Any suggestions?

I am using the code below to insert and resize images in excel. I was wondering is it possible to set up this macro so that I can just provide the directory and then have it so that just a random image is inserted rather than specifying an jpg number. The reason i need this is because the numbers in the folder range from 00000 to upto 20000 however not every folder has the full range of images i.e. Z:SingaporeSingapore TurfSingapore Turf Club 2QEII Cup 2006QEII Cup 2006_VDMillenium Copthorne InternationalTVGI Race Name Text may just contain one image and that would be image number 03965.
The other thing I would like to do is to have the name of the las 2 subfolders inserted into the cell above the image so for the example below you would have:
Millenium Copthorne InternationalTVGI Race Name Text
Picture
Millenium Copthorne InternationalTVGI Race Name Logo
Picture
Sub TestInsertPictureInRange()
InsertPictureInRange "Z:SingaporeSingapore TurfSingapore Turf Club 2QEII Cup 2006QEII Cup 2006_VDMillenium Copthorne InternationalTVGI Race Name Text3965.jpg", _ .........................

I have a few similar excel files in a specific folder (for my salesman to report their sales) - let's call those files "working files" I have another file (we'll call it "master file") in a different folder, where I update values in column A - and those values needs to appear in column B in all of the working files. it is necessary that each time the macro is been activate, it will "run over" the existing values in column B in the working files, and insert instead of them the update values from the master file.

I'm trying to create a bracket for video game tournaments and I'm having trouble with some of the functionality I want it to have.
Right now, I have cells B7 and B9 that will pull player names from another check in sheet. I have another cell, D8, that I would like to have a drop down list in containing the contents of B7 and B9. Everything I see online says to use Data Validation, but apparently that tool can't make a list using cells that aren't next to each other, so that won't work. How else can I tell excel how to populate this list? It is vital that the cells be apart from each other because the visual formatting is necessary for displaying the bracket on a projector so that the players can see their match assignments.
In addition, I would like to have another drop down menu in another cell with a list of valid bracket sizes (4, 8, 16, 32, etc.), and have the cells of the sheet either be visible or invisible depending on how many max players can enter. In other words, if columns B, D, F, and H correspond to the number of rounds it will take to finish the tournament (3, 2, 1, and 0, respectively), I would like the sheet to display only the cells necessary for the tournament, pull player names into the left most cells needed from another worksheet used for sign ups, and auto populate all of the columns to the right of the column for first round with drop down lists for the players who could have won that match in the previous round.

I am after tips on creating a macro in Excel 2010 where it will search a list of folder paths in a column on a spreadsheet and insert a jpeg within the sheet from that folder if it exists. If more than one jpeg exists i would like it to insert the first jpeg only. i have found tips where it will insert images if you know the filename, however I don't have this luxury as file naming routines vary from folder to folder the only constant is that the file is a .jpg format.

I have a sample spreadsheet (uploaded to this thread) in which I have 10 command buttons named 'Video 1' to 'Video 10'. Next to these buttons is a Windows Media Player Object.
I require the code that upon clicking any of the video command buttons, the relevant video is opened and shown in the windows media object within the same sheet (sheet1).
I'm sure the code for each button will be the same apart from the cmd button reference number/name and the link to the file to be played.
If we assume all the videos are called as per their buttons i.e. Video 1.wmv, Video 2.wmv ... Video 10.wmv; and the location of these files is under 'C:Films', can someone post up some code for button 'Video 1' making it clear which variables to change for linking to the different files.

I have alot of project folders on my harddrive.
All in format: I:/12345-costumer-projectname/
The five digits are unique for each project.
I make calculations for these projects using an excel file. In this excel I also type the projectnumber (cell J2)
Now i would like to make a button. When pressed, it checks the projectnumber cell J2, looksup the corresponding folder and saves the excelfile in PDF format in this folder.
I have found macro to find files in folders, but none which do the above.

I need a macro in a workbook to look at all the files in the same folder that have "*att*.xls" in the name and determine and copy from the range A15:W515 only the rows that have data in at least columns A, C and D. Each file will vary as to how many rows there will be and there are more than the files with "*att*.xls" in the folder. The data will be on the only worksheet in each file and the worksheet is named "G2WAttendee_xls" the data from all the files need to be copied to the file called "Consolidated webinar reports.xls" (I am using Excel 2003) and to a sheet called "Attendance Data" and added to the end of the last paste.
At the start of the macro the current file "Consolidated webinar report.xls" should be saved to a sub folder of the current directory and have the date saved added to the name. The sub folder is called "Completed reports". The data in the original file on worksheet "Attendance Data" should be deleted.
At the end of the process all the files that have had data copied from them should be moved to the sub folder "Attendance reports consolidated" (This could be done as each file is closed if that is easier).
I have headings in row 1 of the "Attendance Data" worksheet that match the headings in the various files in the folder (which will always be in row 14 of the individual "*att*.xls" files).
The folder with all the files and the "Consolidated webinar report.xls" file is at path "Z:P and S MEvaluationsWebinar series 2012-13TB".

I 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.

I 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.

I am creating a document for work that automatically generates hyperlinks to pdf files in a given sub folder. Currently I have a section of code that opens a window to choose the folder location.
Code:
'Prompt user to select a directory
Do
Problem = False
Set ShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application"). _
Browseforfolder(0, "Please choose a folder", 0, "c:\")
On Error Resume Next
[Code] ........
What I actually want is to not have the window open, but excel automatically choose the sub folder location.
The directory looks like this
Z:ClientProjectDRAWINGS-2 RECORD COPIESPDF
The xlsm file is stored in the DRAWINGS folder, and I need it to point to the PDF folder.

I would like to create a code that will open all workbooks in folder "A" one at a time and then close the work book after another code is executed. So one workbook will open and while the workbook is open, I will call another code to format the active workbook and then the active workbook will be saved in folder "B" and closed and go to the next workbook in folder "A" to start all over. The folders are saved on the desktop.

if it's possible to use XlDialogOpen to open up a folder that you only have part of the name.
For example, say you have the following folder paths:
C:Main FolderSubfolder1Smith,Billy 2413
C:Main FolderSubfolder1Brown,Charlie Ray 2416
C:Main FolderSubfolder1Bunny,B 3619
C:Main FolderSubfolder1Fudd,E-G 1864
What I'm hoping to do is just look for the 4 digit number on the end finding that folder name and opening it up. The name conventions before the 4-digit serial number are quite random. Sometimes it includes their full first name, other times it's just an initial for the first name and other times there are other characters included in the name. The one thing that is constant is the 4 digit serial number on the end.
how I could get the Open dialog box to pop up and have the chosen folder number open?
