Trying to copy records from one spreadsheet to multiple spreadsheets located in different directorates. Although I can create multiple Macros to address the need, I want to use ONE MACRO that utilizes two variables to represent:
1) The targeted file directory
2) The targeted file name
Items 1) and 2) are stated in two cells within the main spreadsheet and as you can already imagine, these values change IAW the name of the target file.
I was able to do it with target-spreadsheets located under the same workbook but my code does not work when trying to activate workbooks located in other directorates in the network.
I'm trying to pull information in one spreadsheet (SS1) from another spreadsheet (SS2). I've found that the following works, except when SS2 is closed. Is there a way to do the following formula so that it will work even if SS2 is closed?
I am acquiring multiple spreadsheets that do not always match row number, due to additional information on some sheets. By this I mean that the information may be in row 31 on on sheet and row 39 on another, the column location is the same each time. I have been trying Vlookups, indexing and matching plus combination formulas - with no luck. How to get the information I need with a moving cell reference?
I can provide a small copy of a workbook, if needed.
I have to select about 200 odd files from a folder, and move them to a different folder. The problem is, I have to manually select the 200 files from a list of approx 10,000 (not in order).
I have a list of the filenames (with extension) in an Excel Spreadsheet, and I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically move the files using an Excel macro or something?
example:
File location = C:EBDumped and I need to move the 200 files to C:EBSent
So I would need to move ONLY the files where the file name is in the Excel list. The file type (extension) is always the same, but the name (and length of the name) is different.
I have a file where the links to external spreadsheets need to be updated on a monthly basis. There are a couple of hundred cells containing links along the lines of: =IF(WEEKDAY(F2)=1,E11,IF(WEEKDAY(F2)=7,E11,'J:DAILYDaily ReportUKSeptember 2006[daily_file_AsAt_01Sep2006.xls] Stock - Consolidated'!$G$5))
I want to be able to enter a month and year and have all the links update...i.e if I type in October 2007 I want the links to change to:...............
I've developed a fairly simple procedure which lets me reformat cell backgrounds in a worksheet after various cut/paste operations.I've created a template called BASIC.XLTM which has this code in it. I've added a button to the QAT to enable me to invoke the procedure, but when I click the button to do the reformat, it works for the active sheet, but it also invokes another instance of BASIC.XLTM.
I have a requirement to download a lot of historical data files from the archieve of an website. The url goes something like this: [URL]....
This downloads file for 21022014 ie. 21-Feb-2014. I need to be able to have a facility to have a selection criteria on my user form (in excel) where I specify a date range and the macro automatically downloads all the valid excel files available within that date range (files for Saturday, Sunday and some holiday dates will not be available in the website archive database) one after the other (like at single clcik of button) into a specific location (predefined viz.. c:/Users/EOD files/) on my laptop. Best would be if I am able to select the save location run time by using a 'Browse' like feature where I go and choose my local laptop folder...same type when we try uploading a file from our laptop to the web..
I am trying to assign a value to a variable based on the value of another variable. I have about 15 items each with about a dozen specifications to them. I'd like to compare the specifications of "MyItem" to those of "OtherItems". Problem is MyItem changes constantly, and I don't want to hardcode the values for all of these items for every possible value of MyItem. Plus, I would have to create new code every time there is a new item. It just seems like REALLY bad coding. Please see below:
Sub MyItemHardcoded Dim MyItem As String Dim OtherItems As String
Dim MyItemSpec1 As Long Dim MyItemSpec2 As Long Dim MyItemSpec3 As Long Dim MyItemSpec4 As Long Dim OtherItemsSpec1 As Long Dim OtherItemsSpec2 As Long Dim OtherItemsSpec3 As Long Dim OtherItemsSpec4 As Long
I was trying to use a dynamic variable name to cut through this. Sub DynamicVariable Dim MyItem As String Dim OtherItems As String
Dim ThisItemSpec1 As Long Dim ThisItemSpec2 As Long Dim ThisItemSpec3 As Long Dim ThisItemSpec4 As Long Dim OtherItemsSpec1 As Long Dim OtherItemsSpec2 As Long Dim OtherItemsSpec3 As Long Dim OtherItemsSpec4 As Long Dim ItemNames(1 To ItemCount)
I tried using the evaluate method, but it returns an error when the expression evaluates to text - even if that text is a variable name. I've tried some off-the-wall ideas as well, but nothing seems to work. There has to be an easy way to do this. I'm just totally missing it.
I have a file that I save with a new version number each time I make major changes. The file name currently is: "Telephony Equipment Inventory v26 (Summary).xlsm". The "26" is the variable number. give me the vba code to ensure I open the file with the highest version number?
I recorded what I wanted but don't know how to generalise it so regardless of sheet name it can be sorted instead of specifically looking for "leanne final test" worksheet and sorting it by precise cells.
I have starred the section out so you don't have to focus on the rest of the code. Initally I ask for the file to be opened using WeeklyFN, would I need to use it again somehow ?
In my macro, NextRow is defined as the first empty row in a set of data (NextRow = Range("A1000").End(xlUp).Row + 1). How would I clear the contents of Columns A:H in NextRow in VBA, keeping in mind that NextRow is always different for each worksheet I'm working with?
I'm trying to calculate the average for a range that begins with cell B15 and has various end points, depending on the day (since I'm pulling 2 actual years of data that strips weekends and holidays, as opposed to going back a set amount of days/years). Syntax for cell B4 to reflect the average of range B15 to LastRow? I tried several things and it didn't work. Rows 1-12 are being reserved for the summary calculations that will then be pulled into the final Dashboard.
I'm trying to get a user friendly button to simply select then import a csv file into excel. I recorded a macro which runs on clicking a command button. below is the
I have a question. How to code the filepath name to make sure it change when i move my files from one directory to another. Example:
I need to update 4 files from this directory, but i am moving them to another directory. FROM c:documents and settingTesting TO The file being able to follow which ever folder.
I will receive one master file which contains the table and it's values and I have another working sheet where I will update the require details. Every time I will copy the entire master data into working file in order to extract the values by using vlookup function. note that the master file has different names each time. So, that if I use vlookup by taking master data path but not getting the results.
I am looking one macro code to select file (master data) and paste the values based on vlooup references in workings sheets. Note this master data file name may change but reference range always same.
Anyone up for getting me started on code to open a file in a "dynamic" directory, specifically:
Where
Main directory is G:REPORTS The file name is "Pivot_xx-xx-xx.xls" The directory where the file is located is G:REPORTSxx-xx-xx xx-xx-xx is yesterday's date
I want to list file names from a directory and sub directories and hyperlink them. I have been able to list the file names onto an excel sheet, but I cannot get it to hyperlink to the file.
'Force the explicit delcaration of variables Option Explicit Sub ListFiles()
I am calling a sub that I want to do a SaveCopyAs using a variable as the file name but can't get it to work. The file name displays properly in a message box but when I do a SaveCopyAs it does nothing.
This works fine as long as I load the file named Test Data, lolz, but on the line"Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show", I actually select the file to be loaded. how can and what should I change on the line "Windows("Test Data.xls").Activate" to achieve this
and also
at the very end of the macro I want to close the loaded file without the save box coming up.
I am in a workbook created by the the macro (the variable name is strtempfile)
I then open a new workbook called Missing stocks.xls (this name never changes)
This workbook has vlookup links to the strtempfile.
I cannot work out a way to change these links.
I have tried the following =
Dim R, c, strtempfile R = 1 c = 1 strtempfile = D_temp_File_5
Do While cells(r, c) <> ""
cells(r, c +3+ = "=Vlookup([rc-3],[strtempfile.xls]sheet1!r1c1:r3000c17,17,false)
I get a false answer, even though the number being looked for does exist.
I have also played with the idea of simply changing the links and having the do while loop simply copying the cells with the updated formulas into any new rows that need them, but I am not sure how do do this either?
I have a 'master' worksheet, which contains a list of active workbooks. Each row on the master contains several data elements from each of the active workbooks:
File#, Date, Status, Customer, Etc.
This is accomplished by copying a row of data in the active workbook and pasting as a link on the master. When an active workbook data element is changed (date, or status, for example), the link on the master changes as well. Then the active workbook is closed until needed again. The linked data on the master allows for an overview of active files, and for sorting based on certain criteria, such as the next date to action the file.
What I now wish to do is eliminate the process of copying & pasting; this would be done, in theory, by putting a formula in each cell of the master that references a variable: the file number, located in column A.
Thus, where the pasted link formula reads: ='C:Active Files[4545.xls]Home'!$O$1 The desired theoretical formula would read: ='"'C:Active Files["&$A25&".xls]Home'!$O$1"
Description:The chart shown in the file is a picture using the Camera Tool. The real chart is in the worksheet "Chts". When using the dropdown & radio button, the chart is supposed to change accordingly.
Problem 1:The picture from the camera tool seem to be blurry. The lines also seem thicker. Any rectifications for this?
Problem 2:If I save this file as "xlsx", the chart will not change dynamically when the dropdown is changed.
I'm trying to check to see if a file exists using VBA but the routines I see use a string that has the path and then the file name. I have a fixed path C:VBtesting and the a variable file name. I'm using a file name that consists of a username & date such as cwilliams201212. I'm having problems getting the variable file name into the string.
