Insure Cell Value A Proper File Extension
Apr 8, 2008
I'm trying to insure that when a file name is inputted into cell "DA7" that the string ends with a ".xls" extension. I'm using "DA7" as a target and have written the following code. When executed nothing happens.
If Target.Address = "DA7" Then
Dim ta As String
ta = Target.Value
If Right(ta, 4) <> ".xls" Then
MsgBox "The file name must end with a '.xls' extention"
Target.ClearContents
End If
End If

I have a sheet I am working on that was given to me by a supplier and for example the cell in A1 is '2008_world_soccer'. How do I add '.jar' to the end of the filename bearing in mind the filenames are not the same length in each cell. So it would then read '2008_world_soccer.jar' or ''2008_world_soccer_GB_test.jar' etc. Any ideas that would saving me having to edit and type .jar at the end everytime for over a thousand records?

How can I save worksheet from existing workbook as a new workbook with extension .xls or .xlsx depending on the version of Excel on which the original was opened and no matter the extension of original?
My code that I was trying to create all above does not work, because even if I am using Excel 2007, 2010 or 2013 it will still be saving only as .xls.

I saved my worksheet in vba .xlsx and for some reason, when I go to the folder that it's saved in and try to open the file I get an error message saying "excel cannot open the file 'PO Acks fo 09-20-2013.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file"
This is weird because I have another file that I save right before this that opens just fine without an error. Getting frustrating. When I go into the ~Users folder it shows as an excel file and saved as .xlsx.
Where would the link be missing?
Here is the code
Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"G:PURCHASINGSupplier ServicesGroupSharePublic~UsersPO Acks for " & Format$(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy") & ".xlsx"

I have a list of file names in an excel sheet. The requirement is to find the extension of each file in the next column. For example
file name 123.456.789.jpg
extension jpg
file name 123.abcd.789.xlam
extension xlam
is there a worksheet function equal to InStrRev in vba?

I opened a file, by file I mean a "file" with no extension that has commas separating it.
So I recorded a macro to open up the file and this works fine.
How do I close it? I tried
wk1 = ThisWorkbook.Name 'Main Worksheet
...
Workbooks(wk1).Activate
ActiveWindow.Close
But the problem is that "wk1" is not set equal to the name, probably because the file is not an excel file, it has no extension.

Apparently my program quits after i try to open an excel file. If you open the file manually you get an error upon opening the file...something like this:
"File you are tyring to open is in a different format than specified by the file extension".
The problem is i am using an excel macro using VBA and once the file is opened the VBA execution quits.
The excel file turns out to be an xml file which excel can open the file and have the VBA continue running if i RENAME the file with an "xlsx" extension. The problem is that i cant ask the user to rename the file.........how do i get VBA to open the file without an issue?

Has anyone got the add in code? I have my own custom menu bar on my excel. But every time i want to add a new link i must go into the code and manually add the file name extension and relevant VBA code. Is there a method of just entering the file extension in a cell range and excel will automatically update or pick up or link from this location?

I am attempting to write a macro that will open every file in a given folder, then save the files with a new file names while keeping the original file extension. The files I'm opening with excel have file extensions of ".VA", ".TOU", and ".KVA". The new file names I want to save the files with are contained in cell A1.
An example would be:
The excel macro opens file "R003890.TOU"
The macro assigns a the value in cell "A1" (B1040) to a variable
The macro assigns the file extension (.TOU) to a variable
The macro saves the file as file name variable and file extension variable (B1040.TOU)

I have a folder containing 1000's of files. All the files end in .txt (for example test.txt) but are actually excel files. When I go to open the files with excel I get the following warning:
The file you are trying to open is in a different format than specified by the file's extension. Verify that the file is not corrupt and from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to continue?
I click "yes" and it opens fine as an excel file.
I want to merge all these files one after another into one file.

I have a master workbook that contains macros and has an xlsm extension.
One macro in the workbook copies one of the worksheets to a new workbook. I then want to save this new workbook as an xlsx file. I use the following code line:
.SaveAs Filename:=Extract_Save_Name & ".xlsx", FileFormat:= _
xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
However, when I run the code I get an error:
"This extension cannot be used with the selected file type."
The new workbook does not contain any macros and if I save the workbook "manually" as an xlsx it saves fine.
If I change the code above to have "xlsm" it works fine - but I don't want that extension.

I work on an Excel file to determine property date of entry. While I have not completely worked out all of the bugs or the permutations or problems that may come up, I do feel that I have discerned an important part of the problem. The sheet where I set up my formulas and functions has the name 410a elig and coverage and should have a green tab.
To explain my reasoning; in this hypothetical situation, a company's plan has two dates of entry, January 1st and July 1st. An employee enters the plan on which of these two days follows closest or coincides with his or her attainment of 1,000 hours of service during the twelve months forming his or her initial eligibly computation period. If an employee starts work from January 2, 2005 to July 1, 2005, then that employee would enter the plan (provided he or she worked 1,000 hours during the initial eligibility computation period) on July 1st, 2006. If that employee started work from July 2, 2005 to December 31st 2005, then that person would enter the plan on January 1st, 2007.............
Some of the abbreviations or acronyms spelled out:
OYFDOH=One Year From Date of Hire; for now, the issue of leap years I will set aside
Month Function
Month=Month Function
JJ: January or July
OYFDOH MON JJ Year
8/7/2006 8 1 2007
1/2/2006 1 7 2006
6/1/2006 6 7 2006
3/1/2006 3 7 2006
8/1/2005 8 1 2006
6/1/2006 6 7 2006

I have the data to import / read in a pdf, in a doc, or in an Excel worksheet whichever is easier to use. I need to import the data, parse it into the correct cells for that row and then repeat the import until the end of the file. Not all the cells are in each group of data to import, so those cells will be null for that row. Some of the data for one cell may be in up to 14 lines in the data file. I have be concatenating these data rows into one cell. There are 48,000 lines in the file to import or I would do this manually. I am assuming that doing this in VBA would be the most efficient method.

I am thinking of an extension. Every time it finds a empty row where it pastes in. Is it possbile to insert as many rows as the range object is before we paste in the range?
Ex: If the source sheet has 10 rows that's going to be pasted into the destination sheet. I want first to insert 10 rows into destination sheet at "*" and then paste in the 10 rows from the source sheet.

I've tried the solution to get around the 3 criterial limit for Conditional Formatting provided at http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/excel-cond...ting-limit.htm. It works fine for values or text that are entered in the cells, but does not work for a value or text in the cell as a result of a function in that cell. What modifications to the VBA statement needs to be made to make Conditional Formatting work based on function results?

look at the tab "Publisher sumif summary" and at the "Q" column. There is already a formula in place which returns a number from column B in the "Publisher Control Sheet".
If you look at Column B in the "publisher control sheet", you can see that for some of the companies in column A there is no number. Instead, there is a number in Column C where there is no number for column B.
The problem at the moment is that I don't know how to get the data from Column C factored into the equation, which I will describe below
Essentially, i need the formula in the Q column of the "Publisher sumif summary" to return "((Column M number (impressions) /1000)* Column C number) with the column C number coming from the "Publisher control sheet" tab. It needs to only do this where there is no number in column B, and how to add this function!

I clicked on something and now my original (one) workbook has opened as two
workbooks with the above listed extensions. If I do something in one, it
will appear in the other. If I close out and re- open the workbook from it's
original state, they still appear. I clicked too fast or hit something and
now I can't get it back to original form.

Also, is it possible to have the file name print in all caps? (or would the file have to be named in all caps?)
