Listing Names Of Files In Directory To Excel Worksheet
Aug 1, 2014
I have a music folder on my computer with a TON of music in it. Some folders have sub-folders as well.
I need an easy way to point to a specific folder and pull ALL the names of the files within that folder and all of the sub-folders and put them on an Excel worksheet.
So a brief example...
Main Folder: Now That's What I Call Music
Sub-Folders: Volume 1, Volume 2, Volume 3, etc
And within each sub-folder is at least 2 more folders named CD1 and CD2.
I want to pull the name of every song in ALL of these folders into one collective list in Excel.

I'm using a piece of code I found here on Ozgrid to create a list of files in a specific folder. And even though this worked fine for me a week ago, now when I run this same macro, the. zip files are left out of the list, even though I'm specifying msoFileTypeAllFiles. Archive files with other extensions, such as .tar.gz, do make the list. I get the feeling that my zip files are being considered folders instead of files. Do you have any idea why this is happening, or what to do to get that list of zip files?
Sub HyperlinkXLSFiles()
Dim lCount As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error Resume Next
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
'Change path to suit
.LookIn = "o:DataFeeds"
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles.....................

I have a directory where our customer service people deposit forms each day. The form is always the same, with a number of columns that need to be copied into a master list. From there they are analyzed, sorted, etc, then exported, so the number of rows in that list varies from day to day as well. Is there some way to have VBA import each file sequentially from a directory if I do not have the exact file names?
I am using this import code from a macro to start with:
Sub importdata()
' importdata Macro
Range("A2").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=Array(Array( _
"ODBC;DSN=Excel Files;DBQ=C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsTender Document(1).xls;DefaultDir=C:Documents a" _

I can find no code that actually works. It seems to me that there is a gap in the available functions.
I need to get a listing of files in a named folder, into Excel 2007.

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.

I have several hundred text files which I would like to reformat and save as excel without needing to open each file individually.
I'm entirely new to working with macros, so, I was able to use macro recorder to save the steps to reformat the file, but would like setting up the part of the macro to automatically open and reformat all of the files.

I have my code here:
VB:
Sub openfiles()Dim Path As String
Dim ExcelFile As String
' Path = GetFolder("C:UsersKinteshDesktop")
Path = "C:UsersKinteshDesktopVBA programmingMaps"
ExcelFile = Dir(Path & "*.xls")
[Code] ....
NextCode:
GetFolder = sitem
Set fldr = Nothing
End Function
My problem is that the code all actually works (including the function and when I use the commented part), but pointing to this one specific directory (the one I'm using right now), literally nothing happens.

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 have one that could be difficult. I have a database with names and corresponding numbers. I am trying to develop a report in which one could choose a name from a list (for example, using validation) and the report pulls out all the corresponding numbers for that name. Not the amount of numbers but the actual list of those that are linked to that name.

I have created a file that has several worksheets with different naming convention - to specify what the sheets are for. However, as the sheets are added, I sometimes find it difficult to keep track of all the sheets that I have in the workbook.
Is there a Macro Code or formula that I can use so that a Summary worksheet can summarize all the names of the worksheets that I have in the particular workbook.

I have a workbook with 20+ sheets in it, I add sheets and delete sheets on a daily basis, except for one sheet that is like my summary sheet.
Is there a code, formula, or magic spell that will list the names of the sheets that I have deleted? For instance, if my workbook has 50 sheets and I delete 49 of them, I want to see cells A1 thru A49 (or where ever I wish to place them) filled with the names of the sheets I just deleted.

Is there a way using VBA to list all the files contained in a particular folder which automatically reads through the subfolders of that folder?
The subfolder names should not appear anywhere except in the path of the file name.
The file names have to be in the form of full path including file name with extension.

I am fairly new to macros and have trouble with VBA. I have a file with multiple worksheets. Each worksheet contains the name of a specific location in cell A8. I want this name in cell A8 to be the name on the worksheet tab for each worksheet in my file but do not know how to accomplish this. Is that even possible?

I wrote the following routine to loop files in folder. I have 4 .xls files in my test folder. This code is only grabbing 1 then exiting. I have used the Dir() loop before with no problems.
Code:
Private Sub GetDataMultipleFiles(ByVal importExt As String, ByVal xFileNum As Integer, ByVal importLoc As String)
Dim Sep As String, myFile As String
Sep = Application.PathSeparator
myFile = Dir(importLoc & Sep & "*" & importExt & "*")
Do While Len(myFile) > 0

Lots of XLS files in a directory (C: emp). Each book has only a sheet1 with the data.
I have another workbook that i need to use to overwrite certain values in one column from each book.
The workbook I have has a column A and B, ID and value.
In each file inside the directory, A3 to last row used in A had each ID. If the id matches to an id in the workbook with the new values, I want to take the value from B in the override table and put it in C in the file. Look at each ID in each file against each ID in the override, replace and close.

I have the following
Sub test()
Set fs = Application.FileSearch
With fs
.LookIn = "\directory"
.Filename = "3000333"
If .Execute > 0 Then
MsgBox "There were " & .FoundFiles.Count & _
" file(s) found."
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
MsgBox .FoundFiles(i)
Next i
Else
MsgBox "There were no files found."
End If
End With
End Sub
It looks into a specific directory, and tells me how many files beginning with 3000333 there are in that folder. I have over a thousand files in the folder, 13 of which begins with 3000333. However, according to this code, it only finds 10. After searching for various different strings, I've found out that it doesn't search for any file that has a modified date later than 6/2/2006. However, if i just use .Filename = "3000333" , that is, search for all the files in the directory, I get all the files, even those that were modified later than 6/2/2006 that I could not previously find.

I've a master sheet called records. It consolidates all the data from various worksheets. Overtime, the lists gets very long. So I'm proposing this. I want a macro which - Shift all the data yearly into a new directory at
G:MMTPMVarious StockArchive. When it saves at this directory it should bear the year as the folder name. The dates are retrieved from column H. - it should be operated at the every end of the year.

The title pretty much sums it up, actually. I have a macro, and a beautiful piece of work it is. It selects a particular selection of the active workbook, parses it in a particularly thrilling way, and writes the result to a text file. I'd like it to do this for ALL the files in a particular directory (somewhere over 500 files, if that matters).

I have created a spreadsheet with VBA code that lists the files in a directory. The code is as follows:
ListFiles = True
Set Sh = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(sFileSheet)
lstAttr = vbNormal + vbReadOnly + vbHidden
lstAttr = lstAttr + vbSystem + vbDirectory
lstAttr = lstAttr + vbArchive
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'm looking for a macro which within a sheet named "foldernamedump" will list in a column the folder names within a directory I specify. I have seen a couple of sample codes but I just cant seem to get them working at all so I think its best to start from scratch and the work i get supplied here is always perfect. I also want the macro to clear the contents of the sheet before it loads again just to ensure there is no old data within the sheet.

Using VBA, can anyone please advise if it is possible to change the name of a large number of files in a directory. I want to get each file name as a string, truncate the first few characters, then change the name to the new filename, all without opening any of the files whose names are to be changed.
