Create Macro That Will List All Folders / Subfolders And Files In Order In Excel?
Feb 8, 2013My problem is to create a macro that will list all folders, subfolders and files in an order in excel. So that I know which folders and files belong to which main folder, more like a hierarchy.
For example,
Sourcefolder
Subfolder 1
File1
I have code that list all files in folders and subfolders, but it does not put them in a hierarchy fashion.
List All Filenames In Directory On Worksheet (including Subfolders Contents)
Sep 10, 2011I was wondering if there is a way to list all filenames from a directory on a worksheet including the files located within it's subfolders? I found a bit of code at [URL] that is as follows, but I can't seem to get it to read the files in the subfolders... Also, would it at all be possible to hotlink each entry so that the user can double-click the name in the sheet and open the file?
VB:
Sub ListAllFile() Dim objFSO As Object Dim objFolder As Object Dim objFile As Object Dim ws As Worksheet Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set ws = Worksheets.Add 'Get the folder object associated with the directory Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:") ws.Cells(1, 1).Value = "The files found in " & objFolder.Name & "are:" 'Loop through the Files collection For Each objFile In objFolder.Files ws.Cells(ws.UsedRange.Rows.Count + 1, 1).Value = objFile.Name Next 'Clean up! Set objFolder = Nothing Set objFile = Nothing Set objFSO = Nothing End Sub

Add Folders To All Directories Within Another Directory?
Nov 29, 2012I am trying to automate some of the work I used to do as I have moved to another position, specifically trying to automate file management. I am using this code to create new files for each client
Code:
Public Sub CheckDir(fold1 As String)
If Dir(fold1, vbDirectory) = "" Then
MkDir fold1
Else
End If
End Sub
which works great, but you still have to do one client at a time. Basically I'm using this code to create new client files, but each year we will need to add a directory and sub directories for every client in a certain directory. What I would like to do is code a macro that would add say a "2013" folder with all appropriate sub directories to every client folder within the folder that contains all of the client folders The folder hierarchy should look like this
Code:
'F:Clients
'F:ClientsClientName
'F:ClientsClientName2013
'F:ClientsClientName2013RandomOtherFolders
I assume it would use a For/Each, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Feb 5, 2010I was searching through the internet to look for some help with regards to consolidating data from multiple workbooks from different directories into a single worksheet called Summary.
I would like to copy the entire worksheet from different workbooks in different directories into this workbook I like to call Summary. To manually do it I have to open the workbook I want to copy the worksheet from. Right click on the tab and select Move or Copy, select the sheet I want to copy and select the workbook I want to copy this sheet to. Repeat this process for all the workbooks.
The next step is to copy and paste from these sheets into a main summary sheet. The data range from these sheets are starting from row 13 onwards and they may be of different size between Column A to Column W.
For example the workbooks are coming from :
S:Area 1West.xls from worksheet Andy
S:Area 1East.xls from worksheet Bill
S:Area 1North.xls from worksheet John
S:Area 1North.xls from worksheet Albert etc...
List All Subfolders Up To A Certain Layer
Mar 28, 2014I am trying to use VBA to list out subfolders within a folder. I Googled already and find some codes.
Code:
Option ExplicitPrivate iColumn As Integer
Sub NowRun()
Dim MasterPath As String
MasterPath = Range("B1").Value
TestListFolders (MasterPath)
[Code] .....
As shown above, these codes basically would list out ALL subfolders (or sub-subfolders, sub-sub-subfolders...).
I need some modifications to the codes to achieve the followings:
1) Limit to 3 layers of subfolders only, and ignore all subfolders after Layer3:
MasterPathLayer1Layer2Layer3
2) Show the full folder path on a cell next row, no need to divide into several columns:
I sort of know what the codes are doing, but I don't know how to stop the loop as I am new to VBA.

List Files And Folders
Jun 19, 2008I have a folder that has a bunch of other folders in it, each containing many files. Is there an easy way to get a file directory into excel, so that I now would have a spreadsheet that tells me what all the folders are and what files are in each one?
short example: main folder = mystuff
subfolder1 = my pix, contains pic1 and pic2
subfolder2 = otherstuff, contains otherstuff1 and otherstuff2
Can excel find these things and give me a list indicating that the 'mystuff' folder contains these two folders, and also list the two files under each folder?

Making Macro That Will Create New Folders And Then Save In Those Folders?
May 21, 2014I am attempting to create a macro that will create a new folder on the network drive Arie:quotes that will create the new folder and save the the file in the new folder. I need the name of the file and folder to be set to the master (worksheet) cell "B3". and then if possible have it be conditional that if cell "B40" on the same master (worksheet) has a value to have the value added at the end of the filename via hyphen. This workbook has numerous worksheets in it approx 15 worksheets. I am not sure if this is relevant.
As an brief example.
Cell "B3" on the master(worksheet) contains a job name I-40 bridge
So initially I would like the Folder name and file name to be I-40 Bridge
However once the Cell "B40" has been filled in with the value 54213 then I would like the file to renamed to I-40 Bridge-54213 and saved within the same folder.

Consolidate Data From Multiple Files Within Folders & Sub Folders
Aug 16, 2009I have managed to get this far - I have put together a macro (from different threads on this site) that opens closed workbooks, copies data in one of the sheets (same sheet in each of 28 books), and pastes the data it into a master book sheet, each paste starting below the last. So that bit is working. The first bit of help I need is a line of code that will make the macro loop through a number of sub folders in a main folder. My code at the moment works as long as I specify a path that ends with the name of one subfolder, and it only loops through this subfolder. I would like the path to end at the folder that holds all the subfolders ('Workbooks' in the path below), and then add some code that tells it to apply the macro to all subfolders in this folder, so it loops through them all.
The second issue is that after the macro goes to the closed book(s), copies the data in there and pastes it into the master sheet (into columns E:FG), I then need it to go back to the workbook it just copied from, go the same sheet, to three specific cells on that sheet (FH1:FH3), copy the content, go back to the master sheet, and now repeatedly paste the content (values only and transposed) of these three cells into three cells (in columns B:D, with row number being dependent on what rows the first lot of data was copied into) next to every row it just previously pasted in for me. When it loops to the next workbook, it needs to do the same, and the three cells will have different content than the ones in the previous workbook paste.
I dont know how to define the range it needs to paste into the second time. I tried using the definition I used for the first paste (MCDrow), to tell it that it is the same rows, just different columns, but this is not working.
Here is what I have so far, which does the first part of what I need, except for needing a way to have it loop through all subfolder in the 'Workbooks' folder (at the moment it lists Barwon South West as a subfolder in that path, but I actually have multiple subfolders, not all called Barwon South (all different names) that it needs to loop through and do both the first and the second paste for. I have taken out the code I was trying to use to do the second paste, as this was not working and the code is pretty messy as it is (I sort of bumble along, being so new, and I know the code is not very clean or efficient!).
Can someone help me put in the few lines I need to loop through all my subfolders (if you give me an example I can probably extrapolate), but to get you started, three of the subfolders are Barwon South West, Eastern Region and Gippsland. And can someone help me put in the code that will do the second paste for each workbook?
