I am looking for a way to automate the process of opening 64 separate Excel files and making the same change in each file. The change will be to the same cell on the same tab of each file.
I am also looking for a way to open each file and extract the data in certain cells.
I have something like 10 folders. In each folder, I have 300 .xls files and 300 .txt files which have the same name : REF01, REF02, REF03...
Each time, I have to import the .txt file in the .xls file which has the same name in the same folder. I have some other operations to do : filter, etc...
I registered a macro to automatically import the .txt file and do the operation. But, the "register macro tool" has a problem : I asked him to import REF01 during the register, and now he is stuck to this file and import it every time I execute the macro. So, he imports REF01.txt in REF02.xls, in REF03.xls, when it should import REF01.txt in REF01.xls, REF02.txt in REF02.xls...
I don't know a thing in VBA. i tried to study the code but didn't manage to improve it. Here it is :
Sub BESTBESTMACROEVER()

what I need to do to update a folder full of files. There are 120+ .xls files in one folder, the merged cell A30-V38 needs to change its current text to "4th Quarterly Printer Preventative Maintenance".
I have zero prior knowledge of visual basic, and have Excel 2013.
At the moment if a pupil has done foundation listening then I write their numerical result in, for example C3 or if they have done higher listening I write it in F3 (and it works out the UMS and then the grade), but I wondered if there would be any way to just put a dropdown menu in a column for each name, or change it so that I can type in H or F that will change which data is used? Because the UMS and grades are different depending on whether the pupil has done higher or foundation I am unsure how to format it
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have created a qualification tracking spreadsheet to track when qualifications are coming due. Each cell may have a different date based on when that employee initially got that qualification. I want the cell that the initial qualification date is typed in to turn "red" after 180days, "orange" after 120 days and "yellow" after 90 days. I have a formula that does close to what I need, but it changes the cell next to it in color.
That code is as follows: =AND(A1<>"",Today()>=A1+90,B1="")
I have attached the sheet, what I am trying to do. Basically columns B-E and rows 2-35 are the ones that need the formatting.

I have excel sheet with colored cells.
Positive cash flow cells all have green background,
Negative cash flow cells, all have red background.
I calculate all the "sub- total" columns into one "total sum" cell. Based on this "total sum" I want the cell background to be red if the total sum is negative, or green if total sum is positive. How do I make the cell change to the proper background color based on whether it's a negative or postive total sum?
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 a excel file that I enter information into. I have code that saves the files to a certain folder with the name, date, and time stamp for the file name. At the end of the day I might have 3 to 15 excel files I have created that day and I would like to take information from certain cells (examle: L3, B6, B7, B8, G8, and so on) and create a txt file with all of the information in it.
Example:
12/20/2007
Your Name
123 Somewhere St.
Here, OH 45111

12/20/2007
Someone Else
345 Anywhere St.

I have about 100 Excel files in one folder that need to be saved as text files. They can keep the same name, but simply need to be converted to text files. I'd like to use VBA for this and I can't find examples that do exactly that...or ones that my limited knowledge can handle.
Excel files exist in C:Source and ALL of them should be saved as text files in C:Destination. Maybe there is an easier way, but I thought for sure there was a routine I could use.
I was asked to make a trend graph showing activation's and deactivation's over time. My boss wanted it to be done automatically when you placed values into a simple excel sheet like the attached image (the graph would be below this).
View 14 Replies View Relatedis there any way in excel of making multiple pages with a drop down menu. Let say I choose 3 within the drop down, I'd like excel to make 3 pages (with the same settings of the first one) having a head/foot head pages. If you have a excel example(xls)
I just added a picture of what I actually want to do. I'd like to have the same design but adding pages between the top and bottom of the pages with a drop down or via an input box.. doesn't matter.
I work with an excel sheet to produce a list that gets distributed (in hard copy). A problem that I have is sometimes, the list spansmultiple pages, so I have to manually use the page break preview to put the column headings on the first row of each page.

I have a master that which will contain the branch in the first column.

I have 8 different files all have a set of data in them
each one has a long list of (column a-n) however the number of rows change by date. I need each file copied into the finalfile.xls one after another. in the files that will be merged into the final file the final row i need copied is blank.
I have all the copy formulas and everything set, I just need a range to copy that automaticaly takes cell a10 to the first blank a cell from each file and pastes it in the finalfile.xls under the last paste so they dont over write each other.
I have one main Excel file with information (in example file - columns A & B). I want to create 4 other Excel files that will draw from the main one (in example file - columns D, F, H, & J). I want the information in Excel file A, B, C, and D to be continuous information that matches the main file. For example, the letter A matches up with numbers 1,3,4,10,11,13,15,17, and 19 in the main file. When I open Excel file A, I want a continuous list of these numbers. And I want this for all 4 Excel files which draw from the main one.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have my Windows settings set up so that each file that I have open in Excel appear separately in my taskbar at the bottom of the screen. So for example, if I have 2 Excel files open, Excel appears in my taskbar twice instead of being grouped together.
I like to use this set up so that I know which file to click on when I'm working between multiple files. The problem is that on occasion, they will get out of order.
So let's say I have file A on the left and file B on the right. Then I save file A. After saving file A, now file B appears on the left and file A appears on the right. This also sometimes happens if I open a 3rd file.
Why does this happen and is there any way to prevent it?
to fix a .xls file that wasn't created by me.
In order to do that I need to change the path of an External Data that is an access 2003 file (.mdb file).
The only way that I imagine it is possible is to select a cell that is an adress for the query result, than click on properties and change it selecting the new path of file (the path moves depending on the user of the .xls).
i have this code which looks in a folder and moves all .csv files from folder into workbook. The code uses an Array.

So, today my manager came to me and informed me that he wanted me to do a little data entry for him... WOW... So I have about 2000 invoices to go through(all excel files, in their dated folders... 12-2-2013(folder) and the filenames are 12-2-2013(1), 12-2-2013(2) etc.)
I need to take these individual files and have certain cells from each in certain cells of a new workbook for example...
file 12-2-2013(1)... I need cell C3 from that file to go to cell A2(and this will be the same for all the other files... 12-2-2013(2) cell C3 needs to be in A3 etc etc etc.. this is the sale date)
file 12-2-2013(1)... I need cell a15 and b15(they are both "stretched out" cells) to be put in C3 of the new workbook and so on.
is there an easy way/formula to do this all? I have to have this done by friday at the latest(tomorrow preferred @@) I have to input data for 7 cells...
I need to create a dynamic template for importing data from multiple .txt files to my workbook on a daily basis.
I recorded the macro for importing ONE txt files and starting to deveop it into looping through multiple txt files and sheets but to no avail.
1) Currently I have 4 named ranges
FileLocation = Location of my source file
FileName = All the file names of my txt files
SheetDestination = The sheet to be paste for each txt file (further explaination below)
FileFormat = .txt (for VBA purpose)
2) The macro recorded was in "ActiveSheet", thus I thought of looping through each sheet (put the activate code at the first line) for the codes to run.
3) ColA ColB
1SP.txt
2IND.txt
3US.txt
4
5
6
Column A is my SheetDestination, while Column B is the respective filename for source txt file. My final intended result would be simply macthing sheet 1 against SP, sheet 2 against IND, sheet 3 against US... so on and so forth....

I have a directory where our customer service people deposit forms each day. The form is always the same, with a number of columns that need to be copied into a master list.

I would like a way to either download all 400 ato nce, or in a batch of 50 or even 100. As it is, the procedure takes around 70 mins to complete. I was hoping of a way to speed it up.
