View 10 Replies View RelatedI would like to automatically update a 'yearly' database file with info from a file that is changed on a daily basis.
The daily file that i use has info like date, truck number, delivery stops, weight.
the database file has the similar headings.
at the end of each day this daily file is saved. I would like to have the info that is entered into the daily file automatically plugged into the yearly database file into the next available group of cells with respect to the salesperson.
This is kind of a generalization but i'm hoping to just get pointed in the right direction. If something like this involves vba then it will be beyond my ability and i'll have to do it manually, which is fine
I've got numerous vba-coded spreadsheets in use with lots of different users, and have found that some users try to hide errors of their own making by blaming the spreadsheets (I know - what is the world coming to!)
I've decided to add a script which creates a log file each time one of my spreadsheets is used - opening a log which relates to the user's spreadsheet and recording username, date/time, path & file, and the vba being used.
I'll probably add an "on error" script to save copies of all open workbooks too.
The issue I have at the moment is how to record the name of the macro being run?
Here's my code so far: ....
I need a little help creating the macro for a template file which is going to be used for data input and further analysis. I have a set of arrays, which can be altered. The arrays may look like so:
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have some code that looks at the part # in column D and then goes out to the D drive to drawings (.pdf files) and creates a hyperlink.
The problem is that it is only creating a link to the .pdf file and not to folders. I need a hyperlink to the folder so when it is clicked the open folder pops up and shows the multiple files associated with that part.
Link should be the same regardless of file or folder, no? As long as the name matches link should be made, correct?
E.g.
123-100.pdf (column D part #) links to 123-100.pdf file on CD
456-200 (folder name in column D) no link created to folder named 456-200 on CD.
Sub Hyper()
MyPath = "D:"
StartRow = 2
EndRow = 20
x = 0
For i = StartRow To EndRow
Cells(i, 4).Select
MyFileName = ""
MyFileName = Dir(MyPath & Cells(i, 4).Text, vbNormal)
If MyFileName "" Then
x = x + 1
Cells(i, 4).Select
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:="D:" & MyFileName
End If
Next i

each row in sheet1 contains variables that, when applied to cells in sheet2, calculate a final figure. I have written code that selects each row, distributes its variables in sheet2, and shows the result back in sheet1, then selects the next row, and so on until all rows have been calculated.
The calculation is complex, and I would like to create a text file that stores the calculation for each row in the same text file. The calculation is a 9 columns by 33 rows, and I would like to preserve this shape in the text file, though its OK not to have columns not lining up.
There is a similar problem on an old thread but this requires only one iteration of "open file, write values, close file". I need "open file, write values, write more value, close file".
I need to distribute it to several areas of my company. Each area only needs part of the report. Therefore I have written some code which splits the existing report by area and creates a brand new report with that smaller chunk of data in it.
However I now realize that the new sub-report will require some code of it's own in order to function. My problem is that only the sub-report will be distributed to the end user. The core report will not. Therefore any code written for the new sub-report must be included within the sub-report.
I have many users of the same spreadsheet on different PCs writing .txt files to a common directory on a central server. I want to be able to create a uniquely named .txt file, using a set naming convention (datetimeotherthingsetc.txt) each time they execute my export code routine. Is there a way I can create a txt file from vba code? I have figured out how to write into an existing .txt file but would like to know if I can create a .txt file from scratch from vba code? ps to avoid any confusion I dont want to save (ie save as) the open spreadsheet to a .txt file
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust striving to have this kind of "picture arrangement's macro" to work, macro that whenever you choose a certain cell and operate it on hotkey it'll:
1. Create a new folder named "PicturesAuto" beside the excel file (wherever the excel file located).
2. Inside folder "picturesAuto it'll create a new subfolder named by the same name of the sheet related to that cell you operated the macro upon. (let's say this cell placed on sheet named: "happysheet"- that'll be the name of the subfolder created.)
3. Inside the subfolder "happysheet" it'll create a new subfolder named by the text of the cell you activated the macro upon (let's say you initially operated the macro on B5 cell -which has the text "montana" so it'll create "montana" subfolder also inside subfolder "happysheet")
4. Lastly instead of having only the text "montana" in "B5 cell" like we had initially before activating the macro, the macro'll also add to that text "montana" the link to "montana" folder (path of excel file->picturesAuto->happysheet->montana)
The way I'm planning to use this is to add a lot of HR pictures inside those folders created by the macro that related to that specific sheet, and that specific cell I've activated the macro upon. Plus just having those pictures so organized is just outstanding in every scale, and the excel file will keep running smoothly without any resource consuming overload.
I am trying to create a multiple file picker. The code is below.
I want to open the first file of lets say 5 selected files, do some autofilter task, copy data from that file, paste it in another workbook and close it. Open second file, do some autofilter task, copy data from that file, paste it in below the first file pasted data in another workbook and close it... and File 3... and so on.
It works for one file, the code for copying pasting is not yet added. I think I can manage that. But how I return to the file picker function after it opens the first file.
I am looking to have these workbooks save automatically to a folder on the C: drive.
If the folder I specify is not available on the C: drive, how do I write teh save comand to create it automatically with a prompt
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been tasked by the company I work for to come up with a simple to use interface that can be used by someone with little understanding of excel to set the autofilters to certain settings.
So here is what I have:
2 sheets (each with the same number of columns but different data which corresponds to good and no-good)
Each column has an autofilter but only two on each sheet need to be set.
One filter controls valve type (of which there are 10) and the other controls running condition (startup and normal)
Now my employer wants something that is basically idiot proof so that someone can simply open up the excel file, input the valve type and running condition, and be rewarded with only the corresponding data and charts. Now the filters are already in place, the charts already exist and the only thing left is the user interface.
Is there a way to create a comma delimitted .txt file from Excel? Or a semicolon delimitted file?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
What I have is a double quoted, comma delimited text file that is created from an external application, every now and again we need to open the file to make corrections and this is easier if we open it via Excel using the delimiter options, the problem is when saving the file as a csv it removes the double quotes, however I have found some vba coding that adds the double quotes back, which works great, but it changes the format of the date fields from what the original file had from 09-Aug-2009 to 09/08/2009.
I suspect this may be because the file is opened before the double quotes are added and excel changes the format.
Is there any code I can add that will stop the date format from changing ...
I have a sheet that has 5 columns as shown below, xxx represents the values within the cell that I need in each sql file.
A |B | C| D| E
test1|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
test2|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
test3|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
test4|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
test5|xxx|xxx|xxx|xxx|
What I am trying to do is take the context of each cell starting with B2, and place it in an Individual sql file (or text file with .sql extension) and name it A2 (so test1 in this case).
I tried creating a double for loop, one for last column, one for last row, taking each content and placing in file but I am not sure how to take the column A as the name of the file and to have 1 file per cell.
I have a piece of code that runs and creates an output Excel sheet that currently has the run date as a suffix for the automatically generated file name. However, I now sometimes have to run this report multiple times in one day, which currently means overwriting the previously run spreadsheet (whereas I would like to keep both versions of the ruin output).
Is there a way that I can create some kind of counter for the number of times the report is run and add that as a suffix for the file name? At the moment the only way I can think to do this is to set up code that looks at the file name containing the date field and adds 1 to every number that is added as a suffix, but this doesn't seem very efficient...

I'm trying take a reference from some workbooks (e.g. WB1.xls,WB2.xls,WB3.xls,...etc)
They are all placed in one folder but there filename is subject to change,
I need to get the result of Cells A1 from WB1.xls+A1 from WB2.xls + A1 from WB3...etc
to shown on AA1 in another workbook(e.g. Collected.XLS)
Is this possible knowing that workbooks filenames are changeable?
Moreover Can the value of A1 from any new workbook added to the same folder be added automatically?...
Can the formula typed in AA1 from Collected.xls be draged down?(So as to show the sum of Cells B1 and C1.....etc) from each workbook?
I have a long complicated macro that processes a ton of data and gives the output in a new sheet. I then want to create new buttons (or some sort of user clickable triggers) on this new sheet that runs another macro.
I have got the actual adding of buttons in the sheet working, but I can't find a way to automatically assign macros to newly generated buttons during runtime. Is this even possible (or are there any clever tricks I could use to get around this?)
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 a requirement to download a lot of historical data files from the archieve of an website. The url goes something like this: [URL]....
This downloads file for 21022014 ie. 21-Feb-2014. I need to be able to have a facility to have a selection criteria on my user form (in excel) where I specify a date range and the macro automatically downloads all the valid excel files available within that date range (files for Saturday, Sunday and some holiday dates will not be available in the website archive database) one after the other (like at single clcik of button) into a specific location (predefined viz.. c:/Users/EOD files/) on my laptop. Best would be if I am able to select the save location run time by using a 'Browse' like feature where I go and choose my local laptop folder...same type when we try uploading a file from our laptop to the web..
I am setting up a "save as" macro that saves a file by replacing another file in a folder. Even though the macro has been recorded by approving the replacement (the prompt appears "the file --- already exists. Do you want to replace the existing file?"), when I run the macro, I am again prompted about replacing the file. Is it possible to avoid the prompt so the file is automatically saved by replacing the named file?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI do routine tasks every day which involves opening 3 different files and pasting data into my main file. The data is always in the same format, and the 3 files are saved in the same location (3 different folders through). The 3 files are saved each day and the naming convention is constant, with only the date changing. For example, the files are always saved in C:My Documents and the files are called test_05.02.2013.xls. Tomorrow the file will be called test_06.02.2013.xls and so on.
So each day I will be rolling a file forward and I want to bring in the info from each of these files based on the new day.

I have a base excel file for summarizing some data, the problem is that the data comes from a different excel spreadsheet. What I want to do is make a function that pulls the data from another spreadsheet into my base file. It would be easy if it were just one excel sheet, but this job would require where the data is pulled from a data file which has many modified versions.
Can anyone tell me how to do this? The files with the data will be structured the exact same but with different data entered in. I just want a button so I can click the file I want the data from and have it show up on my summarizing base file.
I am creating a macro that when cell range H7:H78 = x then the cell in the same row but column A changes to r. This is what I have so far.
