List All Filenames In Directory On Worksheet (including Subfolders Contents)
Sep 10, 2011
I 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
I have done a search in the forum, and there are many results on browsing directory and opening files, but they are not what I have in mind.
What I have is different folders for different months (e.g. “January”, “February’, “March” and so on), and in each folder I have the same file names (e.g., in “January” folder, I have files called A, B, C. In “February”, I also have files A, B, C but these are different from the files in other folders)
Basically I need a macro which can open a specific list of files.
So first step, the user should be able to browse the directory, then select a folder (no need to open, not sure if it makes any difference though). I need the user to be able to select different folders because the macro should work for the different months in different years.
For this, I have found this Function GetFolderPath() As String Dim oShell As Object Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application"). _ BrowseForFolder(0, "Please select folder", 0, "c:\") If Not oShell Is Nothing Then GetFolderPath = oShell.Items.Item.Path Else GetFolderPath = vbNullString End If Set oShell = Nothing End Function...........
I have a problem with getting the list of files in subfolders. this code is writing the names of files in a folder to column "A". But it is just "target" folder. But i need to get the name of all files not just under the target folder but also subfolders of target and even subfolders of subfolders of target
VB: Dim FSO As Object Dim SourceFolder As Object Dim FileItem As Object [code]....
I am looking for a macro that will list all subfolders (all levels) within a directory and count files in each of those subfolders. No file names, just number of files contained in each folder.
The script collects all the files in directory and sub-directories and list them in ascending format, I want them to get in transpose format. like for example: Root folder has many sub directories and in them a sub directory XYZ has 5 excel files, it will get the sub directory name in Col A and transpose all .xls files.
Col A | Col B________|Col C_________ |Col D___________|Col E________| XYZ__|C:/root/test.xls|C:/root/Sales.xls |C:/root/Report.xls |C:/root/sam.xls|
I'm migrating data from Financisto for Android to CashTrails for iOS, and I need to format my CSV file a specific way for conversion to a CashTrails file.
I'd like to do the following in Excel 2013 (I have access to other versions if I need to):
1. Highlight a range of cells (i.e. A1-H20)
2. Apply following action: IF cell has data, add " to beginning of cell and " to end of cell, AND IF cell has no data, place "" in cell.
This can be done, right? I'm desperate!
It would look like this in Notepad. Before: Date,Time,Amount,Category,Tags,Account 12/31/13,12:00 PM,$3.99,General,,Checking 12/31/13,12:30 PM,$5.00,Shopping,gift,Cash
i want to use the "Browse for Folder" to select the folder where the files is in eg. E:My DocsGlobal and list the folder location and filenames to table (column I:J), and color them according to every folder location.
I would like the "Browse for Folder" windows to be able to select multiple files instead of just one file a time.
My 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.
I have a workbook with numerous worksheets. Each worksheet is similar to all the others, and I want to be able to (for example) lookup the values in cell C10 for each worksheet and record the value in a summary worksheet.
The name of each worksheet is in Row 1. Is there a way to reference the sheet name using the values in row 1?
The source data is collected using drop-down menus. In moving the data from one workbook to another, the drop-down lists are carried over into the destination cells. I have used both: paste special "values" and paste special "valuesandnumber formats". The code in the else statement produces the same result as the 2 step process above it.
I need to copy my worskheet multiple times to create about 10 of the same worksheets within a workbook. I know if you click in the very most top left hand corner of the worksheet, then click copy, go to the new worksheet and click paste, it copies the whole page, but it does not copy over the VBA Code.
Also, for some reason, it does copy over my macro buttons, but does not put some of them in the right spot?
I have a spreadsheet, where the corresponding invoice number is located in column I.
All the necessary invoices have been scanned in as pdf's in folder Y:FinanceSalesInvoices.
The question is, can a code be written to say in column Z, that a hyperlink be created to that particular invoice. For example, in cell I2, it would have Invoice1, then in cell Z2, it would have a hyperlink of Y:FinanceSalesInvoicesInvoice1.pdf.
If sDirectory = "" Then If iColumn = 1 Then sPath = "C:PensionDataPensionPath" ' Set the path, must end with backslash Else sPath = "C:PensionDataWorkBench" ' Set the path, must end with backslash End If Else If Right(sDirectory, 1) <> "" Then sPath = sDirectory & "" Else sPath = sDirectory End If End If
sFileName = Dir(sPath, lstAttr) ' Retrieve the first entry. lDataRow = 1 lRows = 1
This works on my PC and it works on other PCs. However, the one PC that it should and must work on, it does not. There is no file listing created.
I have duplicated the files and the folders on my PC and the files in the directories are listed. However, on that one PC, there is no file listing.
I need to make several exact duplicates of an existing worksheet which includes several form controls. Basic Copy/ Paste the worksheet works well but row heights are different and hidden rows are unhidden. Is there a way to make an EXACT duplicate ?
Is it possible to create a VBA script that will list the filenames of files in a set directory? I have about 100 directories, each containing 1000 files and they need to go into an excel spreadsheet (each file on a new row)so they can be audited... ;(
I wish to create a macro that looks in a specific directory "D:Records" . It finds the files which are modified after a date "January 01, 2012" in this directory (pdf files). Then it imports these files names into a worksheet.
In my search I found several example similar to what I need, but nothing I could adapt to filt my needs, (at least not wim my limited skills).
Here what I need to do:
I have multilple Excel files in a directory. (M:/Archived PO Responses/Domestic). On a daily basis, these files are processed via VBA, and deleted after processing. What I need to do is, prior to processing and deleting these files, create an ongoing log of the filenames in that directory.
Example:
The macro would open an Excel file named "Processed Orders.xls", which is stored on the network drive "M:". It would then append all of the filenames in the directory mentioned above to a sheet named "Processed Orders" in that workbook, below any filenames that already exist.
