I want to build a file(name) list of all files in a directory including the ones in all underlying subfolders on any level.
E.g. make at total list of all possible files (not folder-names) in the given directory.
I have a clue, but I just manage to list the files in the first subfolder level - not proceed "deeper" in the folder tree.
I need to set up an automated process to open an existing .xls file, extract the data from specific cells located in that file and insert it into a totally different file that I have preformatted to accept this data.
Example scenario:
If I have "that_file.xls" and it is unopened, but it contains data in cells "A2 thru F2" that I need to extract... then I have "this_file.xls" , which is open, and set up with all my calculation cells and a specific layout (lets say it has cells "D8, E9, F10, G11, H12, and I13"). I want to be able to add a button to "this_file.xls" to run a macro that would open a file search window where I can select "that_file.xls", and then it will automatically extract the data from "that_file.xls" into "this_file.xls" as follows:
A2 to D8
B2 to E9
C2 to F10
D2 to G11
E2 to H12
F2 to I13
I am trying to create a Macro/VB code that will build 4 lists based on a list (see attached example).
I have a list of applications and the numbers of users having them installed on their computers, these applications are marked using a RAG status (Red, Amber, Green & NBR No Business Requirement) on a seperate work sheet i want to split them by these RAG statuses, the status of applications changes as they are packaged for SCCM, so the RAG status will be changed, so i want the code to be able to rebuild the lists at any time to obtain an accurate view of the numbers at each status.
I want that Excel writes in a row the a sequence of musical notes corresponding to a certain tonality;
I have in one cell the musical notes, which are validated data that comes from a list and I could pick one from this list:
C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B
chosen one of the notes, excel would write down in a row the corresponding chromatic scale for that note. example - choosen A:
A A# B C D D# E F F# G G#
As you see, the scale begins with A, and then when it gets to the end of the list (tone B) it goes back to the beginning (C). In other words, what I want to implement it´s sort of a circular validated data.
I've built a spreadsheet that accurately displays my company's price list. However, from time to time, there are increases and/decreases, by percentages. I would like to know how I can build a formula that would allow me to quickly update the pricesheets by the appropriate percentage, without having to manually do so, one cell at a time.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use Excel to build a text file based on values from certain cells in Excel 2010. This is based partially off of static text that never changes and variables that will need to change. For example, I want Excel to output a text file that has the following text: The red fox jumped over the $X twice. I would want $X to be replaced by the value of A1 of the active worksheet. I will also have several lines like that, so it won't just be a single line, but anywhere from 20 - 120.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEssentially, I am working with a database for a school and up until this point, each row matches up to a student with a bunch of information on them. One of these pieces of info is their parent's names. This is a much simplified look at things, but the screenshot below is a basic version of what everything looks like:
Now, the school wants me to split up the parents names from the student's and place them in their own row. I have recorded a macro to do this where you make the active cell the "full name" column for the row you want to expand, and then run the macro. Afterwards, up to two more rows are added, with the parent's names and some data copied. Below is a screenshot of what that looks like: (yellow is the new data generated, and blue is the active cell I marked to run the macro properly)
The issue is that there are thousands of these that need to be done, and I figured there is a way to do this with a macro. The issue is that not every row has parents names to expand out.
In layman's terms, I need a macro that will look at the two columns titled "Father's Name" and "Mother's Name" on each row of the spreadsheet and then, if there is any data in both or either of them, it should set the active cell to the "Full Name" column for that row then run the macro accordingly. After that it should repeat this all the way down, skipping any where neither of the columns have text in them
In the actual spreadsheet, the columns that need to be checked are AW and AX, and the column that needs to be set to the active cell before running the macro is B.
I have a template file for ordering trafolyte and steel plates. I have added macros to this template file. The existing macros do the following (shortly described):
Macro 1: clears order
Macro 2: update order date + send a read only file to the supplier of plates + save a read only copy of the file into one of three folders acc to info in one of the cells.
It's the Macro 2 I want to edit.
I want to add a "function" which copy a selection of data.column A to N from row 12 to 548 but only the rows where there is a value in column A.
Row 1 to 11 includes standard order info and Macro buttons.
Row 11 includes the heading for order data.
For everytime someone click on the Macro 2 button in the template file, I want the selection to be paste into the first "available" row in a "Total list" file.
The "Total list" file may have to be open (or a function to open, paste selection and then close the "Total list" file may be added)
File and Folder info:
To simplify suggestions, the following file and path info can be used (I can change to the correct later):
Template file name: template_order.xlsm
Template file location: \servershared emplate
Total list file name: total_list.xlsx
Total list file location: \servershared otal
Selection info:
The template file exists of a "general order info area" A1:N10
The column heading for order data is located at A11:N11
The selection to be copied is A12:N550 - But only rows where column A includes data (not empty).
(If the spesific order consists of 14 plates than there will be item no 1-14 in column A and I then I want to copy A12:N25 (row 25 will be item 14).
When I try to use record macro it looks like it only records what's happening in the template file - It doesn't record the pasting in the total list.
I have this code which works but the first 2 entries that the macro lists in cell A1 is . and cell A2 is ..

I am building a chart from a pivot table and the data changes weekly therefore my chart changes weekly and I want to have the same colors on my graphs from week to week. I created this code to keep everything the same. Problem is when some of the data is not there for a given week (say no calls from a certain city) a corresponding data set doesn’t get created and the macro won’t work. Is there a way to run if the a data set is not available and to keep the colors the same?

I apologise for this simple question, but I appear to have left my brain at home this morning and all the VBA help files are missing from the computer I'm using!
I can start building.
1. User will first input Medication type in first column. Second Column - Dosage Third Column - Start Date, Fourth Column - End date
There will be multiple entries for the same medication because of dosage change. I can simply get them to insert a new row underneath each medication, and they can then input new dosage, new start/end dates
There will be a cell entry for the form start date, as it will be populated on the main page.
The solution I believe will involve an if statement, with argument being if date is still within range of start/end date, that it will generate text on particular date.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with 3 worksheets titled “Numbers”, “Letter” and “NumLtr DB”.
The “Numbers” worksheet is a dynamic listing of numbers in Column A, which also is a Dynamic Named Range using the formula: OFFSET(' Num'!$A$1,0,0, COUNTA('Num'!$A:$A),1)
The “Letters” worksheet is a dynamic listing of letters in Column A which also is a Dynamic Named Range using the formula: OFFSET('Ltr'!$A$1,0,0,COUNTA('Ltr'!$A:$A),1)
I need a macro to duplicate in column A, on the worksheet titled “NumLtr DB”, the first number down as many rows as are needed to equal the full count of letters, and then, in column B, list each letter in succession. This process needs to be repeated once for succeeding each number and then stop.
We have a number of dogs and information about their sire (male parent), dame (female parent) - and those dogs parents.
In essence something like this:
DOG1: DOGDAD, DOGMOM, DOGDAD's DAD, DOGDAD's MOM, DOGMOM's DAD, DOGMOM's MOM
So...I'm thinking 7 fields for each dog.
I started out with an Excel s/ sheet that looked like this:
Dog Sire Dame SireD SireM DameD DameM
DOG1 DOG2 DOG3 DOG4 DOG5 DOG6 DOG7
DOG8 DOG9 DOG10 DOG11 DOG12 DOG13 DOG14
DOG2 DOG15 DOG16 DOG17 DOG18 DOG19 DOG14
Now here comes the issue....what we are trying to do is to find and exclude any dog (in the first 'Dog' column that share ANY grandparent (SireD, SireM, DameD or DameM) with any other dog from the first column.
(As an example above - DOG8 and DOG2 share the same grandparent (DOG14) and needs to be excluded from the final list).
I want to build a cash register from excel.
I want to put many buttons, but lets say one on A1 that says $2 dollar item and name and lets say this $2 doillar item button is pushed(clicked on), it will add $2 to lets say the total say A15.
Now I can't even get a Macro to add $2 dollars to A15(or any macros to run at all, anybody have code I can copy, what I understand is you create macro name(give it letter, so yo can press letter and Ctrl to start) then start recording, then you do key strokes or mouse? Then press stop recording and you have macro?).
To get buttons to be viewed I have to go to Tools - Macros - script editor, and drag and drop(button on coding) or double click on button tool bar then File - View in Browser - . I get button but can't get it to do anything.
How do you put say A1 in code to A1=A1+5 or make a memory location out of A1. Now you can go to(while A1 is selected cell) "Insert" then "Name" then "Define" and give A1 a "Name". I can't get this name to work in coding(but I can get the name to work in cells like "Name" +5, will add cell 1 and 5, if you do it in different cell than A1).
When I click on the "Office Button", then in the recent "documents dialog box" there is a list of my worksheets plus an "allsenatename" file". This then downloads a worksheet from a website. I don't know how it was added to my list, I must have entered it when looking at that web site in error.

I have data showing when staff arrive at, enter after clearing security and then exit a building after completing their task. The data for each cell is a combined date and time as opposed to separate cells for date and time.
I am trying to ascertain how long our security staff take to clear persons waiting to enter the building and also how many people at any one time are actually in the building (after being processed through security).
I also need to ascertain if particular issues arise at certain days of the week (eg Mon morning) and so need to add a further column which shows the day of week using the date/time data.
