Macro To Rename Files In A Folder
Jun 16, 2014
Macro to rename files
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()
Dim Filt As String
Dim FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Title As String
Dim FileName As Variant
Dim newname As String
[Code].....

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 want to rename some files that I have in a folder, the names I want to end up with are in an excel sheet.
So the below 2 files are what 2 files are call currently, the file name below is what I want to change it to.
01 - Whigwield - Saturday Night.cdg
01 - Whigwield - Saturday Night - which is a music file.
I want to rename the file to this,
SF010-1 WHIGFIELD - SATURDAY NIGHT
The next file is
02 - Take That – Sure.cdg
02 - Take That – Sure – which is a music file.
I want to rename it to:
SF010-2 TAKE THAT - SURE

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
[Code] .....

I would like to copy every file named "Current Day.csv" from every subfolder found in the folder c: est
Rename the file as the value in A1 (3 digit code) and B1 (date) and save the file into v: est (and the folder name the file orginally came from)
Is that possible? (looking at about 30 filesfolders so if need be I can define the folder names)

For the last year I have been downloading cash register X1 and Z1 files onto an SD card. Each night's files (X1 & Z1) are stored in a new folder with the naming convention "RP + [DATE]", (EX: RP120910, [YYMMDD]). I have 265 folders! I need to go through each folder, select the Z1 file (I don't care about the X1, X2 or Z2 files) and rename each with the following naming convention: "Z1 + folder_name + .xls". For Example: Folder RP120910 contains the Z1 file named "Z1_T1729.ECR". After renaming, the file should be "Z1RP120910.xls". As the VBA code loops through each subfolder, selecting and renaming the Z1 files, I would like the new files to be placed into a new folder named "Z1Files". Note: All subfolders are currently in a directory named "RegisterFiles". I am using Excel 2010.

I have a macro attached with attached file; it will list the files then will re-name the files based on other cell
example;
Cell A2 = New.mp4
Cell B2 = ggffrr.mp4
so the file New.mp4 will be renamed to ggffrr.mp4.
it is working fine but the location will be always desktop or documents location
i need from the macro to rename the files and to keep them in the same location.

Can a macro rename Excel files based on a cell's contents? The problem maybe that I download these files en masse from a website and they all have 54-character long randomly generated filenames which I can rename by selecting all and then use the rename function to get a series of filenames like a, a(2), a(3), ... but I would rather have the files renamed based on the text that exists in cell B1 which is the title of the report. I also read somewhere that this kind of macro only works if the tabs have names like "Sheet 1"

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)")
[Code] ........
How do i set objFile to just pick up my criteria?

Excel macro that "simply" prints out all files in a folder on my local C drive?
E.g. C:example
This folder could contain anything from zero to 50 files.

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"))

how I can loop through folders to select files starting with a certain word and copy all of them to a different folder and rename them. The folder structure is given below
Company 1(parent folder)
North South East(sub folder) West(sub folder)
Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec
In the above structure, the files are present inside each folders Jan, feb...Dec under the regions North, South East n west. note that I have to select files starting with "Sales" and copy them into a new folder(say results) and rename copied files as Sales1.xls, Sales2.xls etc. (Files are not present in the folder company1, north, south, east and east.)

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.

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
[Code] .......
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?

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
Sub ExcelDietMacro()

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.

I have a folder "D:Documents and SettingsRakesh", which has many .xls files. Each file has a sheet called 'Cover Note'. I want to copy cells B2, C2, D4 and F3 from 'Cover Note' of each file.
These cells should be pasted in the current sheet, one row for each file. First cell of each row should have the source file name.
It would be better if macro can prompt to select the directory where ther source files resides.

I wish for a macro to look in to a directory which remains constant, but then looks within a folder which is specified via a cell value in order to load a specific sheet from each file in to the workbook I am currently using. I wish for the loading to be done without having to open the workbooks manually, so something which opens them copies the data from the sheet specified and then closes.
This data is then to be pasted in to a new sheets within my workbook which are named after the file names that it pulls the "dump" sheet from.
As a side note, I will be using these sheets to produce calculations hopefully automatically as soon as they are loaded. They all have the same "shape" but contain differing data. Will it be easier in the long run for me to use this method of pasting data to new sheets named as their file names assuming there will be around 25 "dump" sheets needing to be loaded or would i be better having them paste all to one sheet just underneath each other with a couple of rows separating them?

i am working with a large data set of excel files . I need to format the sheets in a specified way . i have recorded a marco that does this . I now have the problem of creating an automatic loader that opens the files , carrys out my macro , then closes the files.
For example i have a folder X that has 10 files inside it. i would like to be able to load the first file , carry out the macro, close the file move it folder y . Then look back into Folder X , take the first file it see's , carry out the macro , close the file , move it folder y , the go back to folder x and carrying out this until all the files are done and stopping when the folder is empty

I have this existing macro which saves each tab into a separate excel file. However, I'd like for it to also save them together in a new folder using the current month and date (named: QA Files May_05.06.14). The month and date would change according to current month/date. How would I incorporate that into this code? I am not good with macros.
Sub tabname()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Activate
ws.Name = Range("D1").Value
Next
