I've been working on a macro that opens me up to a certain path so I can select a file.
This is the path sofar:
TheFile = "\datawhse
ootLAW81LAWSONprintRBLEVINS2anrvwfins1"
My code takes me there, but I want to go a step further if it is possible.
\datawhse
ootLAW81LAWSONprintRBLEVINS2anrvwfins1THE NEWEST CREATED FOLDER"
I have a folder called 'Refresh'. Every week a new file is dropped into that folder. Instead of me placing that new file into my workbook, i would like my macro to just grab it. Is there a way for VB to grab the most recently created file that comes into my 'Refresh' Folder.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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 am doing a project for work at the moment where by I have to manipulate a report compiled by an external program and do various bits and bobs to it. Trouble is, the other program creates a new version every time it runs the report (i.e filename.1.xls, and the next day filename.2.xls, and so on). Is there any way of searching the folder these files are in to find the newest file and select that one as the one to open and manipulate? There will be no files other than these in the folder.

I am having trouble getting a copy of current workbook to save (with a hopefully unique name) into a vba created folder. The folder creates fine on any drive that I have access to, but the workbook never turns up. The code is only an extract from the whole but it still fails in isolation.

Dim fso
Dim fol As String

I want to sort a column in Excel 2007 which is having dates. Normally, we use oldest to newest or newest to oldest option in sort & filter. But i am unable to find this option in my excel sheet. how can I find this option in Sort & Filter.

I have a Workbook that is located in a Networked Folder and is used by several people every day. The Workbook has a lot of VBA and also has links to other workbooks. I am noticing that over time there are several extra files being created from this excel workbook, in the same folder. The Workbook is the only file in this folder. They are not associated with any program and are just a File Type. They are titled a series of 8 random Letters and Numbers and range is size from 700 KB to about 1 MB (Slightly smaller then the Workbook file size).
Also, Is possible to automatically delete these files when they are not needed? or better yet is there some way to Prevent these files from being created in the first place?
Example below is in my macro and when my peer is running this worksheet which has Workbook_Open() enabled in "ThisWorkbook", the outcome is that he can not successfully save this workbook because he doesn't have the folder and sub directory in his C: drive.
How do I code it such that in the event the user does not have the specified folder and sub-foldername, it will automatically create one for him and save it as "C:Spare PartsCritical ListStocking Status.xls".
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Spare PartsCritical ListStocking Status.xls"
I have a macro that is designed to paste a row of formulas into each Subtotal line on a 30,000+ line spreadsheet. I have specified the formulas that I want to paste in the named range "formulas". The macro below worked fine for about 3000 lines, then threw the error Run-Time Error 1004: Paste Method of Worksheet Class Failed on teh line ActiveSheet.Paste. I thought it had just bogged down my computer, so I added teh ScreenUpdating and Calculation lines, but they made no difference. I also tried reducing the range to just a couple thousand lines, which also made no difference. I also have found some suggestions on this forum and others for this error.
In addition to it working fine for 3000 lines, then failing, there are a couple other weird things. One is that on the line in the spreadsheet that threw the error, the formulas were pasted in up to column AX, leaving columns AY through CR blank. The second odd thing is that this exact same macro still works on my sample data spreadsheet (which only has around 50 records).
Sub FormatTotalRows()
Dim rCell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Workbooks("latest.xls").Activate
Range("formulas").Select
Selection.Copy
For Each rCell In Range("A3040:A5000")
If Len(rCell) > 0 Then
rCell.Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
End If
Next
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Its been a while since I did this on 2003 and needing a pointer on 2007.

I have a spreedsheet with 17,000 rows in it. In column D I have ID numbers and in column B I have the dates. There are multiple entries for each ID in column D which gives multiples dates each entry was given in column B. I need a VBA Macro that will identify duplicate entries in Column D and keep only the most recent entry by date in column B.

The complete code in this workbook sends the entire workbook to one person and it creates a new workbook and pastes a range and the VB code needed to run the button it copies and sends this to another person.
The codes runs excellent in 2003. In 2007 I can get the entire workbook to send to the first person, but
The email to the second person will send, but they can not open the workbook. I get the error "File Format or file extension is not valid. Please verify file is not corrput and that extension matches file.
I know trust access to visual basic has to be enabled in 2003 for this code to run, so in 2007 I went to the Excel options trust center and clicked the box which says Trust access to the VBA project object model.
When I step through this code everything looks great. The worksheet area is correct, the button is copied, the code can be seen in the properties window, but then I get the email and it will not open.
There is even a line of code that kills the file after the mail is sent (temporary saving location is the desktop). So, I used a ' and made it a comment line so I could try to open the file from my desktop. It will not open there either. File extension being used is .xlsm

View 14 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it is possible to use a macro open a folder in Windows Explorer. Previously someone on this forum taught me how to open an Excel file from a macro, but in this case there will be a new file every week. As the files will all be stored in the same folder, I thought it would be easier to open the folder in the normal Explorer view and select the file manually than to change the macro every week.

I have created a Spreadsheet that does all of the calculations, analysis, graphs, etc. that i need; however every time I wish to use this spreadsheet I need to first open up a spreadsheet with data, copy it and then paste it into the original spreadsheet. While this is not horrible, it is quite tedious to do several thousand times.
Thus, I was wondering if it were possible to create a Macro that would open up all files in a specific folder, then select each one and paste the relevant data into my original spreadsheet. I know this possible for specific files; for example, I have created a Macro that will select files data.xls, dats1.xls, data2.xls, and paste these into the spreadsheet, but I was wondering if there was a way to generalize this so that it will simply open every file regardless of the name or how many files there are in the specific folder.
I have a macro that opens all workbooks in a folder and searches for a few terms returning the appropriate rows, my problem is that someone has decided to protect some of the sheets so when the files are opened you get the password box popup. I have added the (filename, readonly) segment however this has not solved the issue, the macro displays an error stating a workbook is open.
Is there any way to resolve this without unprotecting the sheets?
I have a prompt for the user to select a folder and then assign the path a variable. I would then like the VBA macro to open all files within that folder (no sub folders) that end in .xls.

This report will be used on different computers and I’m sure different location / Path on their computer.
