I have about 50 CSV files in a directory and would like to list them in a column that I can use them to populate a box so that a user can select the file they want in the box and open it in a new spreadsheet.
I have tried several ways to do this but nothing I do works.
At present I am using an imput box for the user to type in the filename, but if they type incorrectly, or type in a file name that doesnt exist the program just exits because of my error trap.
I have a datasheet with 6000+ entries. One column has lists of companies, of which there are around 300 and their are entered into this column multiple times. I organized and identified the largest ones but a work file of 6000 is making it a long process to find every single company listed, paste their name onto a separate table to analyses. Is there a formula to take all the different company names and arrange them in a list OR list them just once in a column next to it? I will have to do this again and the analysis of the companies is the most important.but I find I need to spend all evening steadily combing the haystack for needles!
I am try to show a list of all rows that have a missing date in column "B" and then show the corrasponding name in the next column "C". I can find the first one on the sheet and how many have missing dates using:
I have a folder which contains a number files. What I would like to do is for my spreadsheet to look into that folder and write the filenames to the sheet. And everytime i run it, the file names are just added on.
I am attempting to split my workbook and save the sheets as individual files. Simple enough? yes. The issue I am running into is that when the sheets export I want their filename to be pulled from the value of a cell on a master control sheet. While I am pretty sure these can be done separately, not sure how to really do them as a whole within a one click button. Also an issue I am running into is that when I click my export button on my control page, the sheets that are saved have lost some of the page formatting.
SHEET1 is my control sheet
Here is the code that I was using to export the sheets.
I need to know how to read a filename from my local drive c: ? for example in my local drive i have some 100 files, i need to pick there filename, date and time stamp .. etc.
I need to sort the array in ascending order based on the file name. The file name is after the last “” and starts with a number(s). From my example above I would like the resulting sort order to look like this:
I want to use the Application.GetOpenFilename to populate the array and then process the filenames.
I assumed you data starts in "A1" Results start "F1"
Code: Sub MG19Dec38() Dim varFiles As Variant ' used to hold array of file to open Dim ray Dim j As Long, i As Long Dim Temp1 As Integer Dim Temp2 As Integer Dim Tem As String
I have a userform which prompts a user to select two files from the directory. Once these two files are open I will extract data from one into the other, the only problem is these filenames will change and I need to be able to determine what their names are.
I have this code below:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() FiletoOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _ (Title:="Please choose a file", _ FileFilter:="Excel Files *.xls (*.xls),")
If FiletoOpen = False Then MsgBox "No file specified." Exit Sub Else Filename1 = FiletoOpen TextBox1.Value = Filename1 End If
End Sub
If I could somehow extract the exact filename, not full path, from the variables Filename1 and Filename2 I would be fine I guess, I just don't know how to do that.
I took this code from another post and modified it slightly to look in my directory "C:cherylpostal" and list the names of all the files contained. I then have them displayed in a combo box. They are all CSV files, but I would really like them to appear without the .CSV extension. For example, my COQ4 file appears as COQ4.CSV but I would like it to just display COQ4. I can't seem to make it work however.
Sub Macro1()
Dim rngOut As Range Dim strPath As String Dim strFile As String
Set rngOut = Range("F1") strPath = "C:cherylpostal" strFile = Dir(strPath & "*.*") If strFile = "" Then MsgBox "No files matching criteria can be found in " & strPath, vbExclamation Exit Sub End If Do While strFile <> "" rngOut = strFile Set rngOut = rngOut.Offset(1, 0) strFile = Dir Loop
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 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.
I realise this is not strictly an excel question but it forms part of my VBA code within excel
I have been writing a VBA program (with some fantastic help from you guys) part of which writes to a batch file to rename files stored in a given folder. Unfortunately this fails if the original files have spaces in the filenames. The batch file contains command lines such as: ...
I'm trying to create a VBA macro which will open external workbooks in a specific folder. thes workbooks will have filenames which are identical to the value in cell B1 of my active workbook. Once open, I would use indirect to pull certain results from that external workbook and then close it. I have a separate macro already which runs through the list. I found a few examples online but they don't seem to work.
getting a function working within Excel 2010. What I'm trying to do is to first look in a specific directory and loop through each foldername then check to see if the foldername exists in column B of my worksheet. If the foldername exists then check Column E of the same row for a specific value ("assigned") and then make sure column F of the same row has no picture inside the cell. If those three things exist (column B foldername and column E "assigned" and no picture in column F), then add a picture to column F of the same row as the foldername with a hyperlink to a filename of "notes.one" in that specific folder. Then just loop through each foldername in the specific directory until all foldernames have been checked.
The reports I build work from a basic template with 10 or so separate, slightly different versions. In order to make them I currently update the data in the template and then click on "File>Save As..." ten times, renaming the file as appropriate.
Example:
Overall Report for yyyy/mm/dd Partner A report for yyyy/mm/dd Partner B report for yyyy/mm/dd ad nauseum..
Is there an easy macro that could save and rename my file multiple times? It would need to accept manual input for the date. Preferably it would be something that I could easily tweak to change the filenames and number of reports saved as this is most of what I do.
I am trying to develop an excel macro to accomplish the following:
-I have a master workbook for collecting data -One folder will be used to dump excel files into; I don't know the filenames (other than "*.xls"), but I do know from which cells I will need to retreive data (they will be the same for all files)
1. I need to retrieve data from these excel files 2. After getting data from a file, it is then moved to another folder 3. Next the retreive data, then move is performed on the next excel file until there are none left in C:IN
Upon searching this forum, I found a way to open each of these files one by one (without having to know the filenames): Using a script to open unspecified file name
- For me, the obstacle seems to be not knowing how to do what I need to without knowing the filenames
- Again, the issue - retrieve data from these files, then rename/move these files
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'm tracking 50 food items (in column A) for 40 homes (columns B-AO) where each home gets none or varying quantities for each food item (ex: apples 7 for home B, 0 for homes C-L, 19 for home M, etc.). I can get grand totals for each item for all homes, but need to also list how many for each home receiving apples. Ex: 4 homes get apples (4, 7, 19, 1 respectively). SO I want my total sheet to have a column for each food item with the grand total "31" and the second column to show 4 + 7 + 19 + 1. The quantities change frequently so I need a formula I can use for each food item. Also I don't want "zeroes" included. What formula would I use to do this?
I have been given a worksheet which has 5000 rows spread along 13 columns. There are about 200 cells that I am interested in from this sheet, these cells being the subtotals of the cells above them.
I have extracted the individual cells containing the subtotal values to a new, empty column but they are spread down this column with blank cells in between.
Is there a function / formula to get rid of the 4800 blank cells so that the data I need is compressed into a stack of 200 cells all filled with data?
I have found a lot of posts which show me how to list a directory tree in an Excel file, usually using a macro. I'm just uninitiated with VBA / VBS and simply don't have the time to figure it out now (it really isn't part of my job description... I'm rather doing a favor here).
I need to be able to re-generate an excel-based list of clients at will. The client names are subdirectories of different case types. There aren't tons of case types, right now maybe 20 but I need to be able to add case types without breaking the script.
Need way to list the active shortcut keys? I know there are manyy lists of the desfault shortcuts, buit I'm trying to generate a list of the curreently active shortcut keys & what macros they tie to. I have a vague recollection that someone had a VBA means of doing this, but I cannot find it in the forums I've searched.
I have created a simple account list with - date - detail - category - amount.
How can I automatically list each transaction in date order by category on other pages. Each category is represented by a letter - e.g. 'T' for travel. In this example I want to list all travel transactions in a separate list in date order on another page for easy printing.
I have made a Summary page for each category but cannot work out how to make a detailed list for each category.
To establish the order for on duty personnel every month, I need to find a proper formula.
I have attached the workbook.
So, when I pick out a month from a drop list in cell A1, in column B returns (based on a formula) net work days of that month.
In range H:T, I have a table with the personnel names (in the header) and the individual holidays.
What I want is to have a formula in column C, that returns the name of the first available person (not on holiday in that day), in exactly the same order as it is in the table's header.
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 don't know if this will require a macro or maybe a function of excel, but I have a large listing about 1000 row in spreadsheet. Each row correspond to a unique customer. But I will have to extract only the customer that I am looking for, which is about 30 of the 1000. The cell A1 is the customer # which will be use as reference, so I have about 30 customer # to pull out from that listing. Which will be the greatest method to do so?
Example: A1 44334 ERIK JOHNSON 60$ A2 34555 KARIM EDWARD 50$ A3 32555 EDWARD CHRIS 65$ A4 55666 STEPH LAWRAW 45$ ... I want to pull 44334 and 55666 the whole row.
