Loop Through Files, Using Filename As String
May 8, 2008
I have some code that I use to convert files, and it works well, but I would like to make a couple of changes to it. If I run it now it requires user input for every file that is processed, using the input box. Instead of this I would like to use the filename minus the extension as this input.
The next step is selecting the file using the . Instead of this I would like the user to browse for the folder containing .csv files, and select the folder, then use the macro to loop through all files in the folder.

I have code that takes full cell with filename, looking for it in certain directory and copying to another directory.
Sheets("Unique").Select
Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
For Each rng In Selection
If rng.Offset(0, 4).Value <> "" And InStr(1, rng.Offset(0, 4).Value, "http") = 0 Then
FileCopy SourcePath & rng.Offset(0, 4).Value, ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & DestPath & "" & rng.Offset(0, 4).Value
End If
Next rng
I want to change the code that it will copy based on number. Any suggestions?
Example:
I have range of filenames.
10989478.MEC0388A-L0_RoHS_globemotors_1.pdf
10989495.Keystone_M1.4cat. zip
10989559.MEC0388A-L0_RoHS_qualtek.pdf
I want to copy files starting with 10989478, 10989495, 10989559. I mean ignore the part after "dot".

Macro which loops through a number of files and calls the same macro in each of them. Unfortunately when I add "Application.Run..." to the code, it no longer loops through the process and instead stops after updating the first file in the loop. If I remove the "Application.Run..." code and add any other code, the loop works fine and it continues through the process repeating all the steps for each file found.
Why it stops after one file when using "Application.Run..." to call the macros?
NB I have a list of path and file names starting in row 8 of columns A and C. Each file in the list has a macro called UpdateS1 and promoupdate1.
Sub C_Run_Loop_Macro()
Dim lastRow As Long
Dim i As Long

I'm currently creating E-mails containing a table of material numbers in the body of the message. The E-mail is generated with a macro from a table in excel. In some folder - say on the desktop - I have PDF files for each material Number. Each file is called 0012345_Product-Name.pdf where 0012345 is the material number (always 7 digits). I want the macro to look for the pdf for each material number found in the table and add it to the E-mail as an attachment. With constant, known file names this wouldn't be much of an issue. However, I'm having trouble getting the macro to only search for the first 7 digits of the filename and select it based on that.
Since we are talking up to several 100 PDF's, it would also be great to zip them, once selected - if at all possible, before attaching them to the E-mail

I have a Workbook "forecast.xlsx" and several Workbooks which have a individual Number in the Filename (E.g. "3960........xls", "3961.......xls etc.) in the same directory as "forecast.xlsx" + projects"
Now, I would like to browse through "forecast.xlsx" in column H, searching for hyperlinks. In Column H are these Projectnumbers located which are used in the filenames above. Whenever the Cell cointains a hyperlink, following should happen (that far i managed it by myself):
- Store the Cellvalue in a String Variable
- Go to the Directory this.workbook + projects
- browse this folder, searching for a File which contains the stored string in its filename
- open the file
- copy a range
- close file
- This.workbook.Activate
- follow the Hyperlink which has been stored as String before
- paste selection
- continue browsing through column H, looking for the next hyperlink.
I have a VBA which runs bugless, but it copies the wrong range, but to the correct destination.
See the code below:
Sub RESLT_INPUT_ALL()
Dim cell As Object
For Counter = 1 To 1000
Set cell = Worksheets("Projects overview").Cells(Counter, 8)
If cell.Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then

I would like to create a Macro which does the following task. I have a Workbook Master.xlsx with a worksheet "source". The path of Master.xlsx is C:Test
In the Directory C:Testprojects i have about 50 files which all contain the String "Forecast" in their filename. These Forecast Workbooks need an update in the Worksheet "actuals"
So, i need a Macro that copies WS "source" from WB "Master" to WS actual in all WB's Forecast.

I have the following code, and it is working well for one file. I'm trying to figure out how to do a loop to go through each region folder and update, save, and close each file just like the code below is doing for one file.
There are 10 region folders
Each region folder contains 8 or fewer files.
Please see the sample code below for the sample file location.
Sub TrendByRegion()
Application.EnableCancelKey = xlDisabled
Set wbOpen = Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _
"S:High Level ShareReportsReports by RegionPivot Table Files
Region 1Catalog File.xls")
wbOpen.RefreshAll
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub

I did search but I couldn't find what I want. I have a load of .csv files in a folder. I want to loop through all files, run the macro below and close the .csv file without saving. My macro copied data onto another workbook and saves, but I don't know how to loop through all files within a folder.
I need some code that will open each file in the folder, run the macro below and close it again. I don't know how to put code tags in so I have put the code in a .txt.

I am trying to process 60+ data files. I've recorded/written macros that do all of the processing, and now I would like to write a loop that will go through a folder with the data files (.txt, tab delimitted), and run the code on each file. I am using the Mac Version of Excel 2004. I have tried to adapt some code that I found in the forums, but after fixing a few errors, now nothing is happening when I run the code. The code is below. I have it in a module in the VBA editor.
length of the code; I'm assuming the problem is in the very beginning or end (the code I added for the loop), as the code in the middle that does the actual processing works.
Sub ProcessData()
Dim strDocPath As String
Dim strCurrentFile As String
strDocPath = "Macintosh HD"":Users:thomasarmstrong:Desktop:SF08_Macrosv2:Loop_test:directory:"
strCurrentFile = Dir(strDocPath & MacID("TEXT"))

I am having a bit of trouble with a bit of code. I have a bunch of code that I want to run on all excel files that live one level down from my main directory.
I have a general directory (orders) which contains a variable amount of subfolders each month (in picture below, 'Dan', 'Frank', 'Steve'), and I would like to look through all the excel files in 'Dan', 'Frank', 'Steve', but not in the main directory (orders), or any subdirectories within 'Dan', 'Frank', 'Steve'.

I am trying to do is loop through a series of directories under a target directory. When a directory is found, it looks within that directory and finds any .xls files, loops through those and copies/pastes them to the new target directory. I have managed to get it to work only on the first iteration of the loop through the directories, then it crashes. The error code is "Invalid Procedure Call or Argument." Here's the
If valFilePath = True Then
MsgBox (msg)
Else
'Search for directories within source directory
strDir = Dir(ebsSource & "", vbDirectory)
'If a file has been found
Do While strDir <> ""
If strDir <> "." And strDir <> ".." Then
strFile = Dir(ebsSource & "" & strDir & "" & "*.xls")
Do While strFile <> ""
'Copy .xls files and paste in destination
copySource = ebsSource & "" & strDir & "" & strFile
copyDestination = ebsDestination & "" & strDir & "" & strFile
FileCopy copySource, copyDestination
strFile = Dir
Loop
End If
'Crashes here after looping through the first iteration of Excel files
strDir = Dir

I have excel files in a folder, I need a macro to loop through all files, rename them and save them in another folder. the file's name is available in a cell in each file, I am able to get the file name as text (I had to dig a little to get the text as it was between ""). Well I am stuck right now because the macro is doing what it's supposed to do for one excel file only and does not continue with the rest of the available files for a reason.
VB:
Sub RenameAllFiles()
Dim Bk As Variant
Dim n As Integer
Dim NewName As String

I want to open all csv files in a folder and just copy and paste some columns into another file. I am having a bit of trouble with the following code which can be found at ozgrid and I have modified slightly so it looks in the current directory instead of a fixed path...
Code:
Sub RunCodeOnAllFiles()
Dim lCount As Long
Dim MyDir as string
[Code]....
For starters, if I don't use on error resume next I get a runtime error 445: object doesn't support this action. So when I use the on error resume next, then by the time it gets to the foundfiles line, there are no variables set, so on the next line (workbooks.open) nothing happens.
Is there an easier (more up to date?) method to open all csv files (or excel files) in a folder?

I've got a listbox (ListBox1) and it lists 5 files. names are One, Two, Three, Four, Five (all .xls) and they're saved in C:/MyFolder
What i want to do, when a user clicks a button, for a code to only open the files that are selected. So for example, the user selects Three.xls and Five.xls - the code would need to ignore the others and open the selected files.

I found a use for the “Looping Through Workbooks” code (recommended by Dave in my last thread - thanks Dave).
I have a number of small files in "C:Files" that I’d like to loop through and find a match with data from a Master (in another folder) workbook as follows.
1. Match columns ”C” of each of the files with column ”H” of the Master.
2. For each matching cells, insert data from column “I” of the Master (“ Date” field) to into col “D” for each row of the individual files (about 300 rows)
3. Save & Close the workbook and loop to the next one in that folder
All that's needed here is code to search, match & paste, to insert into Dave's "Looping Through Files" code.

I am writing to see if this can be done. I have a master file that I want to open up to 80 files in a directory. For example, if I select Janauary as the Master file month to process for it to open up all files lastname_firstname_Jan01_15 and lastname_firstname_Jan16_Jan31.
I want it to populate the Master file based on criteria set in column A for that file.
Also, two of the fields need to be a sum from all of the files.

I'm looking to create a macro that does the following:
- Loops through a folder structure
- Opens a specific subfolder within each folder based on name (i.e. "*Financials*")
- Opens a specific file within that subfolder "*Financials*" based on both most recently modified a naming criteria (i.e. "*Model*")
- Performs an action on that file (a macro created elsewhere that I assume I can call here)
- Closes that file, and moves on to the next file matching the criteria above
As a self-diagnosed VBA novice, I'm having trouble adapting code found in various forums for my specific project.
I've found examples that address aspects of my desired macro or do similar things, but I can't figure out how to put them together.
Open most recent file:

Loop through folders and subfolders and print all files:

My problem is that I want to loop through a directory that contains csv files. The directory is dynamic so everytime could be a different number of files inside. I want the loop to go through each file and check if that file exists. If it doesn't to print a message that this specific files doesn't exist. Until now I got the following code:
[Code] .........
I guess I should somehow place the counter j inside the Dir path in order to check if everytime time the file[j] exists?
