I have a file which is opened every so often. This file when opened it presents a userform in which you browse two files which then get loaded into the document and some charts/pivots are updated with the information from the loaded files.
When you click on the browse button it opens the browser dialog box in the libraries path. I am wondering if it's possible to have the dialog box open in the last directory path used.
For example:
A week ago I opened the file from the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
What I would like to happen is that when I open the file today and I click the "Browse" button (which opens the dialog box to find files in your computer) for the dialog box to open automatically in the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
Then if tomorrow the file is opened from the path C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project
Then a week from now when you browse for the file the dialog box opens automatically in the C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project path
This is what I have right now and it always opens the dialog box on C:UsersIntiDocuments
What is the easiest way to display in a cell the opened file's directory path where the file is stored? I would like to use some sort of formula (instead of the VB route) but I don't know if such a thing exists.
Is there a dialog box like the one used in GetOpenFilename that can be used to select a directory?
I'm trying to select a directory/folder which will change each month but the macro selects the files from inside the folder once it's specified. I don't need the name of the current path; the path name needs to be able to be selected.
Is it possible to set the starting path for the open dialog - using expression. GetOpenFilename so that the contents of the correct folder are visible immediately?
I am trying to white a macro that takes a file path from a cell value and opens that file. When there is no file path in the cell, it prompts a dialog box. This part is pretty much working. However, I would like the file path selected from the dialog box to be added to the cell in the original workbook.
Sub Reports() Dim path1 As String path1 = Range("B20").Value On Error Resume Next 'checks if there is already a file path' Workbooks.Open filename:= _ path1, Updatelinks:=1 'if no file path then opens dialog box' If Error.Number <> 0 Then Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show Arg1:="*.*"
Is there a way to use the open dialog box (like as if you where opening another workbook) and then with the selected item inster the path and file name into a cell.
I have a worksheet (sheet1 in book1.xlsx) that references another worksheet (sheet2 in book2.xlsx) in a different file. The latter file, however, is stored in a directory that changes. Call it MYPATH for the time being. I'm trying to use a formula (not macros, which aren't allowed in this office) to reference the directory path using the dynamic name.
For example, in the first worksheet, cell A15 contains the word MYPATH. I'd like cell A1 to have a formula like this: ='C:&$A$15&subdir[book2.xlsx]sheet2'!B50
so that if I change the value of cell A15 in book.xlsx to ANEWPATH, the path reference will switch to the book2.xlsx in ANEWPATH, not MYPATH.
I've been trying to get the network username and found the solution on a previous thread. I have got to the point where I have copied the network username to my workbook. I now want to save this workbook into My Documents using that value for the username. So, so far i have:
'Get username from network
Dim User As String
CUser = Environ("username") Cells(5000, 9) = Environ("username") user = Application.ActiveCell
' Protect workbook and save in My Documents
ActiveSheet.Protect
ChDir "C:Documents and SettingsXXXXXXXMy Documents"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "C:Documents and SettingsXXXXXXMy DocumentsSalary Review Data 2007 - " & country & ".xls" _ , FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _ ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
The user who saves this workbook, will be doing so on their own PC's so i need the file to save to their 'My Documents' folder. So i need to replace the red X's with the user's network username (which I have extracted and dim'd as User. How do i write this into the path of the directory?
This should be so easy, but I know I am missing something. I know that you can only create one directory on one statement line at a time with MkDir. in the "var_dir_path" resides a part number that changes dynamically.
Customer directory inside the "masterfile drive". Part number subdirectory of the Customer Directory. 5 subdirectorys of the Part Number Directory. 2 subsubdirectories of one of the 5 subdrectories. That is reference only.
Private Sub CreateFolderFromCellPath8_Click() Dim s1 As String, s2 As String, s3 As String, s4 As String, s5 As String, s6 As String, s7 As String, s8 As String, s9 As String, s10 As String var_path_masterfile_cust_name = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF48").Value var_path_part_number = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF49").Value var_path_Correspondence = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF50").Value var_path_Customer_Service = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF51").Value var_path_Engineering = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF52").Value var_path_Purchasing = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF53").Value var_path_Quality_Assurance = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF54").Value var_path_Sales = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF55").Value....................
The variables are grabbing the path directly out of cells in Excel that are concantenated strings. This works great if the customer folder (s1) is not created. I would have thought that the way that I had the If/Then setup, that it would run smoothly, but if the customer folder is already created, the Debug highlights the very first MkDir s1
I want to be able to use this for others in the organisation and make it a simple as possible
Is there a way to use the cell contents in the path name (without opening the sheet first)
I know I can point to each cell in the other file and excel will use it but there must be a way of making this happen more automated by using the cell contents
I need a macro to loop through a dir and the sub directories to find xlsm files, when it finds one open, go to the sheet named data, look at c1 and if the value is between 12.1 and 13.4 then i need it to write the file path, filename to a1 in my excell sheet and then write the value from c1 in the original file to A2 of line in my excel sheet.
I have hobbled pieces of code together without any good results.
I am trying to use the same VBA code for different applications using variables.
Basically I want to have a variables sheet that has the different directories based on the macro selection. My variable sourceloc would change based on the variable name on the sheet.
sometimes I would want it to equal what was in a1 and sometime I would want what was in a2 a1 cell contains "f:filezilla files a2 cell contains "f:dmc files This is the code I started and it gives compile error when ChDir = sourceloc is reached
Public sourceloc
Sub filezillasettings() Dim sourceloc As String sourceloc = ActiveSheet.[a1] ' a1 cell contains the directory name and folder name =
i am wanting to automaticaly remove a file from a directory when this directory is populated and move to another directory that is secure, how would i do this? just say directory 1(where it will be removed from) is s:/ddc/reports
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.
I need to do a macro that will open a search window, the user would select a folder and it will search for a .csv file within it. Then after locating the file, it would automatically load it into a specific sheet in the workbook.
I am using an XY scatter chart that displays the planned path and an actual path as I go. The planned path is set up in 100' increments and goes 12000' and actual path varies along the way.
My data that I use is the Northing (ft), Easting (ft) and Vertical Section (ft) for both the planned path and actual path.
I was wondering if there was an east way to get that information from the chart or if there is a formula that would allow me to calculate distance between the two points by using the data I use for my chart.
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 am trying to prompt the user for the directory to be saved in and file name to be saved as; then save the workbook in the input directory with the inputted file name.
I have a variable ("DestFile") that defines a path to a file (used in saving the file)...
I'm in the process of getting a Sub to hyperlink to this file, but in some circumstances, I may only want to hyperlink to the folder, not the actual file...
How would I go about trimming the "DestFile" address to get a "DestFldr" address?...
An example of "DestFile" might be; S:BryanFor KenGulf ConstructionST0609014-t.xls (the file name length may vary) What code can I use to consistently trim it back to; S:BryanFor KenGulf Construction as the "DestFldr" variable?
I have this piece of code that loads a list box and it has worked without 1 problem for the longest time.
Today, there have been 4 or 5 instances when it doesn't work, where I hit the load button and it does nothing.
I have closed down and restarted and it seems to work but this is very annoying
If txtBusinessName = "" Then MsgBox "Please enter search criteria" Exit Sub End If lbxRecords.Clear Application.ScreenUpdating = False shData.Activate.......................................
Filename = Application.GetOpenFilename("JPG Files(*.jpg),*.jpg,GIF files(*.gif),*.gif") If Filename = False Then Response = MsgBox("Er was geen file gekozen!", vbOKOnly & vbCritical, "Er is iets fout gegaan") Exit Sub End If
Userform.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(Filename)
Userform.Show I can choose a picture and it will be vissible in the Userform.
The problem is it's not saved into the userform it self. How can i make it so that when i choose a picture it's also the picture i see the next time i open the userform.
how I can pass a value to this function. For example I know the record id that I want loaded, it is 42, so I want to create a button that brings up record id 42 when clicked. I think to do this I would load the form, then call cmbSelect() and pass it Me.TextBox1 = Value "42", but I am not sure on the syntax on how to do this
Private Sub cmbSelect_Click() Dim r As Integer Dim cell As Range, rngRecord As Range
' Locate indicated record For Each cell In MyData If CStr(cell) = Me.TextBox1 Then For Each rngRecord In cell.Range("B1:AS1") If rngRecord.Offset(-rngRecord.Row + 1, 0) <> "" Then Me.Controls(CStr(rngRecord.Offset(-rngRecord.Row + 1, 0))) =
I created the csv file from excel sheet. Now I have created a copy of that excel sheet in a new sheet, and I am trying to load that saved csv in the new sheet. But when I do that I see some cells formatting mismatch (can be seen in attached picture) though I clicked on preserve cell formatting at the time of import.
