Match & Copy Data From File To File
Aug 23, 2008
Is there an easy way to automatically copy data from 1 Excel spreadsheet to another when the data is slightly out of order? Currently an admin copies and pastes from file 1 to file 2 manually. There are approximately 800 names to copy. It would be ideal to type a command or press a key and have file 2 updated automatically. Is there a feasible way to accomplish this without spending a lot of money or time?
file 1 file 2
john 100 john 100
june 200 lance 50
marie 150 june 75
stan 100 marie 125
phone 50 stan 200
hold 25
In the example above, if lance doesn't appear in file 1 his amount doesn't get copied and his 50 remains the same. The amounts do not get added, just pasted over from file 1 to file 2 with the days sales results. Only the names on file 2 get pasted over. Phone and hold amounts in file 1 are ignored.

This is a sample of the data with which I am working. I know that a macro can do what I need, but I am only versed in Excel formulas and not that much programming. I need to be able to first sort the data by Column C ("Element Type"), then by Columns E, F, G ("Year", "Month", "Day"). Then, I need to be able to copy all rows that have the same "Element Type" and "Year" to a new file, using the same header from the original spreadsheet on each new spreadsheet - doing this multiple times until the end of the file is reached.
Ideally, the new files would have a strict naming convention: XXXXXX-ZZZZ (YYYY).xls, where the X's are the value of the "COOP Station ID" in Column A, the Z's are the "Element Type" from Column C, and the Y's are the "Year" from Column E. If this theoretical macro were run with the Sample Data file I provided, it should result in the creation of five new workbooks. Is there a way to write a macro to do this, or at least something similar

I have csv files auto generated (with date stamp in name) and saved in a specific folder everyday. I need to find a macro that will copy the row(s) every day and add to the next empty row in the master excel file. Some days the csv file may have a single row of data and on some other days it may have multiple rows of data to copy and paste.

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've 1 master file with event info (dates, times, categories, prices etc). I have another file to track sales which uses index match to pull data from the master file (stored on a server) instead of double entering.
Upon opening the sales file, all the index match cells are blank until opening the master file, even after saving.
Is there a way to make the file retain all the data it pulls without setting manual calculation (manual spreads like a virus to other user's files - finance manager almost killed me last time)
I currently have a macro button set up to open/close the master file, but if I try to filter/sort the data without the master file open it all disappears again.

I have certain excel file that i want to be able to write a macro in order for it to extract certain information from certain cells on different sheet. In other words, i want cell A2 from each of the three different worksheet i have under different files. And have those data automatically update a master excel or access file whichever might be easier.

Below is the current code I have for File Copy before the workbook closes. This file will be distributed all over and obviously will not have the same old path and new path locations as I have in my code also will not have the same file name. Is there anyway to still perform the file copy without knowing the old path and file name and possibly have message box pop up to ask the copy to location and use that in the new path string?
Sub Macro1()
Dim fs As Object
Dim oldPath As String, newPath As String
oldPath = "I:EXLDATAMC Daily" '<---Where the file is currently located
newPath = "H:South RegionOrlando Mail Services2008DI" 'Since the super shared drive is super slow we will just copy and replace this file each time before we close and of course after we save
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile oldPath & "" & "OrlandoMail.xls", newPath & "" & "OrlandoMail.xls"
Set fs = Nothing
End Sub

I already have code that I believe is supposed to do what I'm trying to accomplish. However, it doesn't fully work. The Macro is below:
VB:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:Documents and Settingsplp138DesktopExample 1.xls"
On Error Resume Next
With Workbooks("Example 2.xls")[code]....
Basically, what I'm trying to accomplish is to have a certain range from one file copied, and pasted in the next available (empty) row of another file. While debugging I see that everything is working except for the actual pasting.

I just found a code to copy file path and file contents. However it is copying folder path and folder contents.here is my requirement.I will specify a path, macro has to copy that file name in a particular cell, then it has to copy all its contents.
ex:
file name 1 has 3 sub files in it, file name 2 has 2 sub files in it--
column AColumn B
file name1file contents
file name1file contents
file name1file contents
file name2file contents
file name2file contents
And also i have extend this macro to write a index function. i will tell u about this. but first i need above thing I researched but I didn't find.
I need file name in a column then i need file contents in b column.
if a file has 10 file contents in a file then that file name should come 10 times in a column, and in b column all its contents.

The code below looks at file names in column A and then goes to a folder and opens and copies the data in range c2 -lastrow from each file and pastes the data into sheet2.
how I could add to the code so that it also inserts the file name in column c?
It would make it easier to track the data in column B.
VB:
Sub CopyFromFile()
Dim fPath As String
Dim lRow As Long
[Code].....
I have attached a sample workbook. The list of file name is in sheet 1. An example of the output is in sheet 2. The data in column A is dummy data generally spans 100's of rows not just 10 as in the example.
The purpose of the code is to be able to put a list of file names in column a in sheet 1 and extract data from those files in a folder. The data extraction works fine. The reson for adding the file names is so that I know what file the data came from.

I was wondering if there is a way to write a macro that will take an excel file that I have called Alldata and then have it copy the first two sheets to a new workbook named something else( FullSparameter_0) and then copy the name of the third and fourth sheet into the new FullSparameter_0 workbook and then copy column A-E from sheet dB Alldata.xls and paste it into the FullSparameter_0.xls workbook in the same dB sheet in the same spot. And do the same thing with the Phase Sheet. i know this sounds confusing, but im really new to the VBA stuff.
I just need 15 different files from the original Alldata.xls that will be named FullSparameter_0, FullSparameter_1, .., FullSparameter_14. but each file will have the same two first sheets, Setup Information and Cal Verification, and the same last two sheet names, dB and Phase, but then in the dB and phase sheets, it will copy over the next four columns of data. so in FullSparameter_0 it will have column A-E from sheet dB in Alldata.xls in the dB sheet in FullSparameter_0 (Same with the Phase Sheets). Then in FullSparameter_1 it will have column A and Columns F,G,H and I (for dB and Phase). In fullSparameter_2 it will have column A and then J,K,L and M. Each FullSparameter_X will have the exact same first two sheets and then the other columns for the last two sheets will be pasted into columns A-E in dB and Phase.

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 trying to automate a process that I do manually today. I have a specific folder that contains 4 .csv files. We will call them:
sheet1.csv
sheet2.csv
sheet3.csv
sheet4.csv
They are the only format that ARS Remedy can export in. I wish to copy the contents of these four .csv files to unique tabs in an Excel workbook. The name of each tab should match the name of the .csv file that provided the data. For exmple sheet1 would contain all the data from sheet1.csv and so on... I'm just learning the ropes to VBA and I am running out of time to play around with this.

I need to copy data from File 1 to File 2. I need the macro to copy B5:B14 in file 1 and paste the data in file 2 under Column C. However the row it starts it depends on todays date (which is located in Column A). It would need to find tomorrow date in column A, move over to Column C and paste the data.
How in the heck do you get VBA to look and find the correct date, and paste the data 2 columns over?

I need to set up an automated process to open an existing .xls file, extract the data from specific cells located in that file and insert it into a totally different file that I have preformatted to accept this data.
Example scenario:
If I have "that_file.xls" and it is unopened, but it contains data in cells "A2 thru F2" that I need to extract... then I have "this_file.xls" , which is open, and set up with all my calculation cells and a specific layout (lets say it has cells "D8, E9, F10, G11, H12, and I13"). I want to be able to add a button to "this_file.xls" to run a macro that would open a file search window where I can select "that_file.xls", and then it will automatically extract the data from "that_file.xls" into "this_file.xls" as follows:
A2 to D8
B2 to E9
C2 to F10
D2 to G11
E2 to H12
F2 to I13

I have a file that gives some statistical data to my co-workers every 15 minutes. A common question I get is "How does that compare to last week?" Then I have to open the file from 7 days ago, find the data from the same time interval, and subtract it from this week's number in my head. I'd like to have excel do this for me.
I know how to get data from an external file. The problem is, these files are named with a date on the end of the file name. So tomorrow, the static formula won't work anymore (or rather, it will give data for a file from 8 days ago, instead of 7). I'd like to excel to use today's date, find the file from 7 days ago, and get the data from that file to compare to the current file.
Here's what I've done so far:
Code:
ThisDate = Range("C1").Value 'the cell with todays date in it
ThisDateName = Format$(ThisDate, "yyyy-mm-dd") 'now formatted the way I need it
ThisDate7 = Range("G1").Value 'the cell with the date 7 days ago
ThisDateName7 = Format$(ThisDate, "yyyy-mm-dd") 'formatted correctly
ThisDate14 = Range("G2").Value 'the cell with the date 14 days ago
ThisDateName14 = Format$(ThisDate, "yyyy-mm-dd") 'you know, in case of a holiday 7 days ago
I have no clue what to do next. I want Excel to: Use "ThisDateName7" to find the file with the name "pph_tracker_[ThisDateName7].xlsm"Get data from a cell in that file (say, C15)Subtract it from the data in the same cell (C15) in today's file (this week - last week)Give me the result in today's file (say in cell C20)Do that again for cells D15, E15, and so on (result in D20, E20, etc)
I assume I can figure out the rest from there. Can I use the variable names in an actual formula in cell C20? Something like:
=C15 - '[pph_tracker_{ThisDateName7}.xlsm]Sheet1'!C15
or even
=C15 - '[pph_tracker_{The Date in Cell $G$1}.xlsm]Sheet1'!C15
which would require no macros at all!

My simple copy and paste macro copies data but while pasting it pastes data starting in cell A1 rather than A5. Code is as below. I thought of copying cell by cell but the problem is that this is only a very small part of code. Below code copies column C in source file and pastes into column A of destination file.
I would be doing about 50 of these columns transfers between two files and thought that copying cell by cell would take ages to run.
1) Can someone please help me resolving the above problem i.e pasting data in cell A5 rather than A1.
2) Secondly how can i add an OR to the autofilter criteria? for example below code filters based on criteria "CS"? what do i need to do to filter based on "CS" or "AS".

I created a macro on an excel file on my local PC that opens another excel file on my local PC and copies some data from file 2 and pastes that data in file 1. In file 1 have a Path and File Name that the Macro uses to get Open File 2 from. This works Great on my local PC!! However, I need to move this to a SharePoint. When I did I tried to change the Path and File name to the ones from the URL generated by SharePoint Send Link. No Luck, then tried to change the 20% replace for spaces. Still no luck. Do I need to use some other method of opening a file that is on SharePoint vs Local PC?
Currently have I have:
Sheets("Labels").Select
Path = Range("b2").Value
BenFile = Range("b3").Value
InterOpFile = Range("b4").Value
NMOCFile = Range("b5").Value
SECFile = Range("b6").Value
VistaAFile = Range("b7").Value
and Later in the Code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:=Path & BenFile

How do I create code that will copy and paste 30 rows of data
Copy from filename "Record1", worksheet name "CA3M", in column A and B, and Paste data in filename "Record2", worksheet name "CA3M"
- Column A 30 rows of data paste into A20:A49 of the new file and worksheet
- Column B 30 rows of data paste into E20:E49 of the new file and worksheet, prior to pasting these results remove all dashes "-" eg.0-0-1 = 001
The location of the 30 rows of data to be copied changes, so the code should always look for the following information in the row before and after the 30 rows to copy in column A and B:
- Find the 30 rows of data in Column A and B where the first row immediately follows the row with the cell result "Account Date" and the last row is immediately before the row with the cell result "Previous Page Page".
Also, I will probably have to update the code to repeat this function for several other worksheets within these 2 files after my database is completely built.

I am trying to set up a file name and path in a cell, and then use this from a number of other cells but with a cell location added to it. So for example:
cell A1 contains a file name "c:mydirectoryexcelfile.xls"
cell A2 needs to contain the contents of the cell at location K12 (for example) from the file referred to in A1
cell A3 needs to contain the contents of the cell at location K13 (for example) from the file referred to in A1
This is to save having to put the filename and cell reference in all of the of cells. I would then do the same thing with another file in column B of this file and the same with column C etc.

I open 2 files : A & B. Once I finish copying data from B into A. I close B and open C and so on. That means I always work with file A (active)
File B, C or D and so on has 3 worksheets with identical names. The filename of B, C and so on also has some common word
I'd like to copy data into sheet1 of file A, always same range : B2:B100 , afterwards I would copy-paste each result from sheet1 to another sheet of file A and delete the data in sheet1. So sheet1 of file A is always active and show the result each time the macro was run as follows.
Cell b2 of file A = cell c1 of sheet 1 of file B
Cell b3 of file A = cell d1 sheet 1 of file B + cell e1 of sheet 2 of file B

I am a lacrosse coach and am keeping track of key stats that our team values that cannot be found in the box score (ex: 'Secondary Assists'). To do this we have created a group of rather simple Excel spreadsheets to keep track of these. We have one master file will all the total data from the season and 10 or so secondary files for each game that we played. To this point, I have been adding the data from the different game files to the master file manually and it is very time consuming.
My question, is it possible to copy a row of data from one of the secondary files and have excel add that data to the existing data in the master file?
