Loading A Variable File Name
Dec 5, 2006
I am using the following Macro to load a selected sheet:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show
Windows("Prototype Worksheet.xls").Activate
Windows("Test Data.xls").Activate
Range("A1:U102").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Prototype Worksheet.xls").Activate
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
Windows("Test Data.xls").Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWindow.Close
This works fine as long as I load the file named Test Data, lolz, but on the line"Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show", I actually select the file to be loaded. how can and what should I change on the line "Windows("Test Data.xls").Activate" to achieve this
and also
at the very end of the macro I want to close the loaded file without the save box coming up.

I'm just trying to figure out how to implment UDFs. I got a nice tool that provides linear interpolation for a data table. Unfortunately after saving, closing and opening the file the cells only show #NAME? in it. Do I have to activate macros or something like that?

I have an excel add-in which is a ribbon which houses a great deal of financial tools that I use on a regular basis so I don't have to hunt around excel for things I use regularly. The add-in has always loaded automatically whenever I opened excel - whether I opened excel by creating a new blank document or by double clicking a previously existing file.
Starting a few days ago though, the add-in only opens when opening excel by creating a new blank file. I can't think of anything that changed recently. Using Excel 2007.
Even when opening a file by double clicking, Excel still says the add-in is active (in excel options).

I'm doing a Vlookup and when I copy down the formula Excel asks me to update the values by opening a new document. But this I can't or don't want to do - but I can't get rid of the box that asks me update the values with a new file.
How to remove this?

I have a file that I save with a new version number each time I make major changes. The file name currently is: "Telephony Equipment Inventory v26 (Summary).xlsm". The "26" is the variable number. give me the vba code to ensure I open the file with the highest version number?

I recorded what I wanted but don't know how to generalise it so regardless of sheet name it can be sorted instead of specifically looking for "leanne final test" worksheet and sorting it by precise cells.
I have starred the section out so you don't have to focus on the rest of the code. Initally I ask for the file to be opened using WeeklyFN, would I need to use it again somehow ?

How could i get the below code to work with a variable as the file name?
Or could I use something like "thisfile" to determine where to import to.

I am in a workbook created by the the macro (the variable name is strtempfile)
I then open a new workbook called Missing stocks.xls (this name never changes)
This workbook has vlookup links to the strtempfile.
I cannot work out a way to change these links.
I have tried the following =
Dim R, c, strtempfile
R = 1
c = 1
strtempfile = D_temp_File_5
Do While cells(r, c) <> ""
cells(r, c +3+ = "=Vlookup([rc-3],[strtempfile.xls]sheet1!r1c1:r3000c17,17,false)
I get a false answer, even though the number being looked for does exist.
I have also played with the idea of simply changing the links and having the do while loop simply copying the cells with the updated formulas into any new rows that need them, but I am not sure how do do this either?

I have a 'master' worksheet, which contains a list of active workbooks. Each row on the master contains several data elements from each of the active workbooks:
File#, Date, Status, Customer, Etc.
This is accomplished by copying a row of data in the active workbook and pasting as a link on the master. When an active workbook data element is changed (date, or status, for example), the link on the master changes as well. Then the active workbook is closed until needed again. The linked data on the master allows for an overview of active files, and for sorting based on certain criteria, such as the next date to action the file.
What I now wish to do is eliminate the process of copying & pasting; this would be done, in theory, by putting a formula in each cell of the master that references a variable: the file number, located in column A.
Thus, where the pasted link formula reads:
='C:Active Files[4545.xls]Home'!$O$1
The desired theoretical formula would read:
='"'C:Active Files["&$A25&".xls]Home'!$O$1"

I'm trying to check to see if a file exists using VBA but the routines I see use a string that has the path and then the file name. I have a fixed path C:VBtesting and the a variable file name. I'm using a file name that consists of a username & date such as cwilliams201212. I'm having problems getting the variable file name into the string.

I wish to import data from another workbook which will always be one directory level up from the target workbook. The problem is that the source workbook's name will change but it can always have the first four characters the same, ie, List_Dublin, List_Kildare, etc.

Trying to copy records from one spreadsheet to multiple spreadsheets located in different directorates. Although I can create multiple Macros to address the need, I want to use ONE MACRO that utilizes two variables to represent:
1) The targeted file directory
2) The targeted file name
Items 1) and 2) are stated in two cells within the main spreadsheet and as you can already imagine, these values change IAW the name of the target file.
This is what I am trying to do:
File cell A1 = "C:ORLOAcquisition"
File cell A2 = "target.xlsx"
Basically replacing the code below
ChDir "C:ORLOAcquisition"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:ORLOAcquisition arget.xlsx" , UpdateLinks:=3
with, ChDir ""A1"" Workbooks.Open Filename:= ""A2"" , UpdateLinks:=3
I was able to do it with target-spreadsheets located under the same workbook but my code does not work when trying to activate workbooks located in other directorates in the network.

I am working on a research project of which details cannot be disclosed. I basically have many worksheets which each contain 3D positional data and I am plotting overlaid graphs using multiple worksheets. I have gotten them to work where I manually enter the names of the worksheets, but I am trying to use the CELL("filename") command to get the current worksheet's name, then using a substitute command to change certain fields, then I would like to use the string name created by those functions to call a global variable in another worksheet which defines a range. I will try to give an example.
Say I have 3 worksheets for arbitrary measurements:
1) filename 1mm
2) filename 2mm
3) filename 3mm
I would like to graph all 3 sets of data in worksheet "filename 1mm", using the fact that everything in the filenames are the same except for the 1/2/3mm part. I have a template of which I will be copy/pasting data from numerous data sets and then each worksheet has defined names "X_vals" and "Y_vals" which give me dynamic ranges for the data I wish to plot from that worksheet.
When I type the names manually--i.e. " 'filename 2mm'!X_vals" everything works fine, but when I try to create the exact same string dynamically using indirect/substitute/left/right etc, it does not let me do it. I am able to create a dynamic string with a range, such as " 'filename 2mm'!C10:C100" but then when I change it to " 'filename 2mm!X_vals" it just gives me #REF!.
I guess my question is just is there any way to use the indirect function to create a string name dynamically which references a defined name in another worksheet? If not possible with just simple excel functions, is there a way to do this with a macro? I am not exactly familiar with VBA in excel, though I know how to run macros.

Eg. Folder Name > YYYY > Month
So i need to have a code which can look in to the relevant folder based on the current date and then be able to open the file i need.
I.e. today is 29May so i need the code to open the 2014>May folder.
For 1st day of month I would need it to open last months folder I.e. 01June Open May folder

I am running a macro which ends up showing the save as dialog box. The name is correct (data) and the type is correct (XML files) but no matter what I try the file path is not right. Here is the section of
sDataFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("data.xml", fileFilter:="XML Files (*.xml), *.xml")
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set js = fs.CreateTextFile(sDataFile, True, False)
Set f = fs.GetFile(sDataFile)
sFilePath = f.parentfolder & ""
Set f = Nothing
How do I set the file path? I have already seen lots of answers to this but they are based on changing the path permanently or on there being no dialog box already open. I need total automation with the user not being able to see any of the save process.

1 I need to open a csv file in order to use data in it at location "C:BarkingEMCIN" to input into an xls spreadsheet. I then need to use the info from the xls spreadsheet along with other info input by users to produce another .csv and it be deposited at "C:BarkingEMCOUT"
The name of the file at "C:BarkingEMCIN" will change everyday or even multiple times a day and be in the format "AVA_DA_260208_BPL_EDF_001.CSV" "AVA DA " will remain the same "260208" will be todays date the next 2 will be interchangeable depending on requirements and use BPL EDF and SSE will be interchangeable depending on requirements and 001 will be the version whcih will be changable. _ underscores will be used as seperators
They will then be save in the format "NOM_DA_260208_BPL_EDF_001.CSV" using the same prinipals as before but automatically saving as the next available when needed with a prompt to tell the user what it will be

I'm creating a master spreadsheet and I want it to pull live data from other spreadsheets depending on a variable.
I've a cell that has a variable date. I've files saved that have this variable attached to it in the name format: 'filename variable'.
I want to pull data, hopefully live, from workbooks based on this variable.
For example, I have files: generic 01212014, generic 01222014, generic 01232014.
The date is stored in the master workbook say in A1 that I can manipulate by entering a different date to pull data from a different workbook.
='[generic 01212014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
='[generic 01222014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
='[generic 01232014.xlsm]Database'!$L$3
There has to be away to make the bolded portions of the file name variable, right?

I have 800+ files the problem is that the file name ends in 80 different combination so I need to try all of those for each file.
eg: one of the 800 is "109 st no 103 av" the file could be called:
"109 st no 103 av nb1_cleaned.xls" or
"109 st no 103 av nb 1_cleaned.xls" or
"109 st no 103 av nb 1._cleaned.xls" or
"109 st no 103 av sb1_cleaned.xls"
.
.
.
.etc
I wrote a code to try all those combinations, the issue lies a space the code adds before _cleaned, how to remove it?.
So the name should be
"109 st no 103 av nb1_cleaned.xls"
but my code is letting it be
109 st no 103 av nb1 _cleaned.xls
Where the variable Ord is the "1" after nb.
Find the code below:

I am looking for macro that when run, will open a file explorer window and prompt the user to select a folder and file where they have data stored. Then I need it to be stored as a variable and used as a part of a "Workbook.Open Filename" command.
The reason for this is that, I have a huge formatting marco stored within a workbook. When a user extracts a report from SAP, I want the workbook to grab the file that is extracted, open it and import all of the data in order to be formatted.

I would like to create a change event macro that will update multiple formulas that pull data from various tabs on a file. The tabs are named with a single date. So ideally when a certain master cell (Allocation!H2) is updated to the current date the macro will be prompted to update the range that contains formulas and update accordingly...so its and index match fomula based that has a variable being the tab name which is a date. I have a range of dates in cells F4:AB4 and want the formula to go into F5:AB5, I can then fill that down to whatever row I want...that bit I can handle.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim KeyCells As Range
Set KeyCells = Worksheets("Allocation").Range("H2")

The master has rows corresponding to numbered files:
4300 | CellValue1 | CellValue2 | etc
4301 | CellValue1 | CellValue2 | etc
In attempting a simple formula (a couple VBA codes I tried did not work and were probably substantially more than I needed anyway), I made the following:
='CMain FolderSub Folder[concatenate(cell w/file number,".xls")]Sheet1'!A1
This is identical to the copy/paste link formula currently in use except that I am trying to have the actual file number/name generated off the master list instead of what is in the file itself.
Purpose: in case I was not clear on this above, I am trying to automatically populate the master worksheet with the data from the workbook. The current procedure is to copy a line of the data from the workbook, then paste as a link in to the master worksheet on the row corresponding to the file number.
