I am creating a template with 3 layer drop down list where the selection list in second column is dependent on the first column and the third column selection list is dependent on the selection made in second column. The current template is prepared manually and are prone to errors.
The first column: Region Name Second column: Province Third column: Municipality
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.
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
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.
hi trying to vreate a table for user to upload data. some fields have a relationship and can only select ceratin things from a list dependent on what the previous columns selection is.
Column A selects from defined list 'animal' -cat, dog, mouse
Then if they select "cat" columc c uses define list 'cats' = siamese, persion, mungrel
but if they select dog it will force use of defined list 'dogs' = poodle, labrador, mungrel...
but i then need to add a third layer to this!!!! THIS IS WHERE PROBLEMS BEGIN!
2 layer is fine for : http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal02.html
but this will not work if for 3 layer..... example colum b, could be a dog or a cat, if mungrel is selected. if the 3rd column depends on both of these ie it matters what column a and b is before 3rd list is defined.....
plus im going to have about a hundred defined lists at this rate.. and ther will be other realtionships in the same table.... :S
i have the relaonships in the format of a list of possible combinations i.
A B C cat siamese grey cat siamese black cat persian white cat persian black cat mungrelwhite cat mungrel ginger ....
dog poodle black dog poodle pink .... dog mungrel white dog mungrel black
There must be an easy way!!!! do i have to use Access?
I have a file that needs 3 drop down boxes. Box 1 = Room Style Box 2 = Unit Number (based on Room Style) Box 3 = Building (based on Unit Number)
I know how to get Box 1 and 2 with data validation, but I don't know how to get Box 3. Right now, my data list has Box 1 data in Row 1, and Box 2 data in the following rows, in the appropriate column.
File attached.
I don't have the Building info in there yet because I didn't know where/how to put it in. But, if you picked Manchester, 131, Box 3 needs to be B1N.
I'm trying to create a rental data base. The Items in question have 2 details, a Pokemon and a Gender. Each item also has a location but this changes.
So far the search formula works nicely, but there needs to be some way to know what items have been removed from their locations.
There needs to be some way to change the location on the 'database' sheet layer to "OUT" from the 'search' sheet layer.
E.g. (on the example file attached)
In a perfect world I would like to be able to search for a couple of pokemon, then to click on "pokeball GO!!!" and for this to change the location to "out" on the 'database' sheet layer.
I need to create three drop down lists, with the second dependent on the choices in the first and the third dependent on the choices in the second. This is proving to be quite difficult and takes a lot of processing the way I'm going about it (most likely the wrong way).
My data looks like this:
A B C
Macintosh Apple Fruit Apple
[code]......
The data is presented to me with the most narrowly defined column first, then the most general, then more defined.
What I need is the user to select (on a separate worksheet from the data) the category from column B, then the type from column C, then the specific item from column A. Each selection is dependent on the earlier selection, so that choice 1 (column B) determines the options for choice 2 (column C), which determines the options for choice 3 (Column A).
Also, I think I found that "VLOOKUP" has a problem where it is unable to match data from the first column based on data in a second or third column. For instance, in the above example, if I asked VLOOKUP to look for "Apple" and give me values in column A that contain "Apple" in column C, all I get is "#N/A".
I have a drawing in visio with multiple layers, and I am trying to insert a word into an excel cell depending on which layers are active. The code I've put into the excel VBA is as follows:
[Code] .....
This is cannabalised from some code I have working from visio, looking at the value of a cell in the same excel fine, which seems to work fine.
The problem is I am getting a runtime error "Type Mismatch" from the line in red.
Need to querry various .xls files for various data values in column A.
The directories will stay static, subfolders will be dynamic. Is there a way to querry through the ever varying subfolders and search for BOM.xls / BOM2.xls files? Searching Column A?
I have a code that will write all filenames in a selected folder and all subfolders in a list. The problem is that when i open a folder with about 5000 files in only 187 are visible in the list. You could see that the program writes all filenames but it writes everyting in the first 187 columns over and over again. Here is the
I am totally new to both EXcel 2007 and Programming however i would really like to create a main folder using coloum A and then a subfolder within the main folder just created using coloum B.
I have looked on line and found some code but when i put/assign the code to a button it never appears to work.
I'm using this piece of code to go through Folders and their Subfolders. It works quite well in going through the first folder and its sub's but does not seem to generate a full list.
I am looking for specific files in these folders, and depending in what folder I place the file, it may or may not detect it. I require the code to go at least 3 levels deep (sometimes more).
FolderName = "C: est folder" ProcessFiles FolderName, "*.xls"
Code: '~~> This function was taken from '~~> http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=245 Sub ProcessFiles(strFolder As String, strFilePattern As String) Dim strFileName As String, strFolders() As String Dim i As Long, iFolderCount As Long
I tried to search for threads about opening files from multiple subfolders but the following codes does not open files. Could someone please check and edit the code that I have below:
Dim lCount As Long Dim wbResults As Workbook Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook
in column B I would like to see just the filenames:
file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt file4.txt
How can I achieve this? On the internet I found this forumule which looks promising but unfortunately finds the first slash (instead of the last) and prints what's to the right of that slash:
I found some code that works well to index a folder and all sub-folders for file names.
The issue is that the folder used is coded in an excel spreadsheet (cell C7) in the below code and whether to look in sub-folders (cell C8 - True or False).
Code: Sub ListFiles() iRow = 11 Call ListMyFiles(Range("C7"), Range("C8"))

I have tried to incorporate the browse for folder and select if sub-folders are used, but it isn't working.
I have a directory structure with a folder in drive C:, this folder contains a varying number of subfolders each containig one file (.xls extension). I wish to populate a ListBox with the filenames only (not the full path) of all the files contained in all of these subfolders. I know how to populate the ListBox with the file names of a given folder, but in this case the user is not aware of the number of subfolders or their names.
i am trying to open a get a code working that will enable me to enter a file name in a cell of the current workbook open, then search through a root directory and subfolders, find the file and open it. the code below i giving me grief. i am using 2007 excel.
I'm trying to make a macro that will search a folder and move all files from 2008 into another folder. So far it can do this, but what i need is for it to search subfolders also. At this point it moves all files from the main folder, but nothing from the subfolders.

I have my dummy data, and I have (what I think) is how I want the data to be shown. My friend uses Google Sheets, but I prefer Excel. I am trying to convert the code because I am a stickler for excel. Typically I can convert codes some easily, but this is way beyond me.
For Column A: I want to create a list on sheet 'Setup!' based on ids!D2:D="yes". If that list has duplicate entries, I would like only the first entry to show up, but for the next entries I would like the cell to be blank. (this is important for the next step) For Column C: I want to have the corresponding dates go with the name entry. For Column D: I want to have the notes go with the corresponding date entry. (I believe I can manipulate Column C's code to do Column D myself).
I am also going to upload a data sheet, and an expected results sheet.
I have pulled a SharePoint list into my workbook. The list object (table) is still linked to the SharePoint list, as I'd like to synchronize it later on. I have filtered it with an autofilter. I'd like to delete all of the visible rows. I have tried a billion things to no avail. I have been searching Google for hours now. None of the examples work.
