The following code is something that was developed to find files with certain criteria that matches references in cells A1 & A2. The coding is as follows:
Code:
Option Explicit
Option Compare Text 'for Case-Sensitive matching change Text to Binary
Sub List_Matches()
Dim sPattern As String, sPath As String, sJob As String
Dim sMainDir As String, sCommonSub As String
Dim c As Range, lRow As Long

The red is the area of the code i am having problems with. The original code was going to look only in one directory, now I wanted to add a second directory with reference located in E5. Now as is the program works fine looking at directory 1 or E4, but the problem i feel is that for E5 all the folder name are named "WO#_____ - ______". I believe the # sign is not allowing it to open that folder and search for the info. In the code there is a function for solving the # sign problem in a file name, but how could i either modify the code or the function to do the same for the folder name and view the # sign as a valid file name to open?
Here is a macro I have found and manipulated for my particular case. The problem is that I want to narrow the search criteria by just pdfs and only those starting with Segment which i know in coding would be something like "Segment" & "*" & ".pfd" or something to those terms but the code uses objects which I'm not too familiar with.
Code: Sub ListAllFile()
Dim objFSO As Object Dim objFolder As Object Dim objFile As Object Dim ws As Worksheet
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set ws = Sheets("Simple Cut Lists (2)")
creating a macro, I have a list of CSV files in a folder called balances, i need a macro that will look into each CSV file and grab all p'folios which have a negative balance in Col D and line them up as per example shown below. The extracted data needs to be copied to file named "Workings" S:RecsalancesWorkings
All data in CSV file looks like this, where header row is row 1 starting at A1
I am unable to install a disk catalog and have been trying with no success to try and get something in excel that will look at a directory and display the contents of that folder with the file attributes etc
i have many excel workbooks in a folder i want a macro that will get the names of all the files and make the file names so extracted as a hyperlink to open the files.
I have a folder C:My Documents that contains excel & Pdf files. Is it possible to list all the files by name contained in this folder in a excel spreadsheet i.e one filename one cell?
I have a problem with getting the list of files in subfolders. this code is writing the names of files in a folder to column "A". But it is just "target" folder. But i need to get the name of all files not just under the target folder but also subfolders of target and even subfolders of subfolders of target
VB: Dim FSO As Object Dim SourceFolder As Object Dim FileItem As Object [code]....
I have a folder containing many Excel files. Each is unique, and I wish to characterise them in a separate contents file in Excel. To do so, it would be very useful to populate a worksheet with the names of the files in the folder.
We use Excel 2003 and 2007 to track labor data for a field service company. The field tech's complete daily forms and the office staff copy/paste this data into weekly billing worksheets. They use naming conventions to show the jobs and dates in the file name (Daily Labor - Job1 - 031308.xls and Weekly Labor - week ending 3-16.xls. What I would like to do is link the daily data to the weekly forms as they come in. Is there some way to do this when the job names and the dates are always different? Can I tell Excel to expect data files based on the naming conventions as in the Weekly is named "Weekly Labor - Week Ending 3-16.xls so data files named LaborJob1310.csv, laborjob1311.csv would automatically update the weekly sheet? I can put these in a folder and link them, but I don't know how to provide an easy way to do this for the upcoming week.
I have a question about creating a custom drop down menu. In AutoCAD, I can create custom drop down menus that loads each time AutoCAD loads and i was wondering if excel have something similar. This menu would be added to the default menu list: "File_Edit_View_Insert_Format_Tools_Data...etc". I have searched online but i keep getting things about how to make drop down menus in cells but nothing about adding a main drop down menu.
What I want to do is create a menu with hyper links to all of the excel files we use quite often here at work.
I have already done this by just creating a sheet with a list of hyper links on it but would like to put it in a drop down menu instead if its possible.
I tried to write some VBA code to loop through all the files in a folder and return the name of the file. (In my current example, all the files are excel workbooks)
Here is the code I have used:
Sub Load_List()
Dim lCount As Long Dim wbResults As Workbook Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook
Set wbCodeBook = ThisWorkbook
With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch 'Change path to suit .LookIn = "G:CFOMiddle OfficeDannyFine Tunning for JP" .FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
However, when I tried to run the code, it give me the error message saying: the defined type of the variable are not been defined. Seems to me, that VBA dont have the variable type as Folder, or File.
Sorry that I'm very new in Excel VBA coder. And, for this topic, I don't even know how to start. I want to make a MS Excel database of a numerous files. This database must be consist of Filename, Location, and it's attribute (let's say updated date, size, hidden status)
Essentially, the Engineering Dept has given me 550 AutoCad files I have dumped into a folder located in this path: C:/DrawingsDump
From these 550 DWG files I need to manually filter and separate 260 drawings that I actually need to use and move them to a folder located in this path: C:/DrawingsFiltered . This manual filtering process takes a lot of time and is tedious work and it has got to be done everytime Engineering changes drawings because they are not kind enough to provide me a delta list.
In Excel 2003 I have setup a list of all 260 drawings I am interested in and that I call my filtered list. Is it possible to create a script that will enable Excel 2003 to compare my filtered list to all of the files inside C:/DrawingsDump, and then copy only those files that match to my Excel Filtered list and then paste only matching files into the C:/DrawingsFiltered folder?
If Excel 2003 can't handle this, is there a third party application that will let me perform a file management function like this with minimum startup time?
I found the following code to execute a macro in all excel files in a folder. Sounds amazing! I have a code to add to it, however I am having issues getting it to work. take a look at it and let me know what (more like, how many things). I am adding this to the Sheet 1 Worksheet.
I have following problem, discribed also in the link above.
I need a vba code to
- choose a folder instead of a file - find all the files in the chosen folder with name that starts with "sz" and end with "_d" - rename those files by replacing the first 5 numbers that follow sz with 5 different numbers that the user can choose e.g. through a user form.
I imagine the user to open the excel file, click on a form thats linked to a macro. The macro will call a userform and ask the user to choose the folder and type in a textbox the 5 new numbers.
I need the code that will be pasted behind the "OK" button in the userform.
Is this possible with vba?
Here a code i found in the link mentioned above, that i have applied and works - but needs to be modified to meet my needs: Sub GetImportFileName()

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
I have the following macro set up to create a folder in a directory as per the contents of 2 cells
C2 = Folder name to be created B2= Date for previous working day
[code]....
I then have another macro that moves files into a specified folder within the same location ( I then manually move them into the folder the first macro created)
Is there a way I could get the files to move to the newly created folder without me having to do it manually.
I need creating a macro that i can use in a file that will open all workbooks in a specified folder. Each .xls file has a macro that is slightly different and i want to go to one book and run one macro that will make all macros run.
I would like my macro to go to a certain folder- in this case N:Aexeo ClientsJabre2008Excel Diet Run, open each workbook therein ( to this end I have found the first part of the code below on another thread) and perform the ExcelDietMacro (also below). I am missing something though as nothing is happening, would anyone know from a quick glance what is wrong? Should I have these as 2 seperate Sub End Subs or combined into one? I know that the Excel Diet is correct thanks to the original designer and Rory on the forum for getting it adjusted to my needs.
Also each workbook within the folder will have the same password to open, is it possible to insert some code in the macro to do this automatically?
Sub LoopFiles() Dim MyFileName, MyPath As String Dim MyBook As Workbook MyPath = "N:Aexeo ClientsJabre2008Excel Diet Run" MyFileName = Dir(MyPath & "*.xls") Do Until MyFileName = "" Workbooks.Open MyPath & MyFileName Set MyBook = ActiveWorkbook Application.Run "ExcelDietMacro" MyBook.Save MyBook.Close MyFileName = Dir Loop End Sub

I have 400ish departmental budget files in a folder that I need to upload to a Sharepoint doc library. The files in the folder will have to exactly match the files we already have set up in sharepoint in order to upload them to the sharepoint site. As it stands now there is only one consistency between the sharepoint files and the budget files in the folder, which is the department number (which every file in both begins with).
I'm thinking some sort of macro will let me insert a sheet into each of the files in the budget folder, which would have a formula that pulls the department number from a certain sheet in the file, and produce the file name I want into a certain cell. Then I would like a macro that goes into each file and renames it based on that cell. I'd like to know if this is possible and if there may be a better way to do it.
I have a few similar excel files in a specific folder (for my salesman to report their sales) - let's call those files "working files" I have another file (we'll call it "master file") in a different folder, where I update values in column A - and those values needs to appear in column B in all of the working files. it is necessary that each time the macro is been activate, it will "run over" the existing values in column B in the working files, and insert instead of them the update values from the master file.
