View 3 Replies View RelatedThe problem with the Write macro was that, although it did work, it used SendKeys which has to be slowed down considerably.
Here is a new version of the Write macro that works as normal. I originally tried to use CDDBControl.dll version 1.2.0.51 which is widely available on the internet but found that I could only get it to change 1 file before crashing Excel.
I have put the READ macro in the next message.
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim FromRow As Long
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim FilesToChange As Integer ' number of files to change
Dim FilesChanged As Integer ' number of files changed
Dim MyFilePathName As String ' full path & file name

I have been given a .csv file of several thousand rows, and I need to
change column A of each. The brief cutout below shows column A of the
first two rows. (I need to skip the first row, which is the headers.)
Kinda clumsy to have such a wide column, but the application this file
is to be fed after I change the contents requires all the data
separated by double-quotes to be in the one column....
I have this macro that I am using but want to automate the file it uses. This file has the last 5 text/digits change each month, e.g.
Internet_GB_Report_Feb07
Internet_GB_Report_Mar07
Clearly the next file would be Apr07. I would like the macro to identify this automatically and use the correct file without having to go into the macro every month and change the last 5 text/digits. If you have any ideas I would be very grateful to hear from you. The Macro is below:
[/code]strPath = "c:Internet"
strFilename = "INTERNET_GB_FEB07"
strThisWkb = ActiveWorkbook.Name
intReports = Workbooks(strThisWkb).Sheets("Lookups").Cells(1, 2)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it was possible for a macro to edit a file by opening each .txt file, searching for the word "Reference", and then replace it with the word "Ref". Then save and close the text file.
There are no delimiters in the text files.
I use excel to read in an ASCII data file in which every line beginning with H is a header line and lines beginning with S are data line.
I want excel to filter out the header lines and output the file with the data lines only then outputs these in a new file.
I also want it to read the values from column 72 to 75 and subtract 6 from them then output them again to the same new file.

If Mid(z, 1, 1) = "H" Then

the problem is that the new file is generated but it is always empty
A client has sent me an Excel workbook that appears on the screen with the message adivising that it is Protected View as a result of having been downloaded from the internet. If I click on the Enable Editing button the workbook is completely deactivated. I have played around with my Trust Centre settings but nothing seems to work.

What I would like to know is.. if there is a method in which i can copy these values from column A to a text file every hour...
The range of cells containing values in Column A also varies every hour.
Also, the old values in the text file needs to get deleted before the new values are updated every hour.
I am using this code to get me to a path then I click on the file I want and it opens it and makes it a .csv file. Then my code does stuff with it and closes it.

I am trying to edit some formulas Under the Mon-D15 worksheet in this file. The # NUM is where I am having trouble. Basically, what I want to do is only rank the names in C15:C18. I was successful in doing this with C10:C14. But, for some reason it will not work with the lower values.

I want Rows 25:40 to be different widths (width=2) in Columns I:O.
I want to 'repurpose' some of the menus on the Excel 2007 ribbon, in particular to set paste to paste only values. Effectively I need the equivalent of the following for Excel 2007

Application.CommandBars(" Cell").Controls.Item("Paste").OnAction = "New_paste"

VBA coding for automatically saving an excel file as another file using the current date as part of the file name together with "32ga" as a constant add-in.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

What I'm trying too do is open a file, make an exact copy and save it under a new file name.
My problem is in the date formula the day is not always the same. In the sample case it's 03 at other times the day will change.
is there a way too get this too work irregardles of what the day might be?
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 have a requirement to download a lot of historical data files from the archieve of an website. The url goes something like this: [URL]....
This downloads file for 21022014 ie. 21-Feb-2014. I need to be able to have a facility to have a selection criteria on my user form (in excel) where I specify a date range and the macro automatically downloads all the valid excel files available within that date range (files for Saturday, Sunday and some holiday dates will not be available in the website archive database) one after the other (like at single clcik of button) into a specific location (predefined viz.. c:/Users/EOD files/) on my laptop. Best would be if I am able to select the save location run time by using a 'Browse' like feature where I go and choose my local laptop folder...same type when we try uploading a file from our laptop to the web..
I want to open a specific sheet and refresh only said sheet when i open another sheet for example x.xls
So opening x.xls will automatically open y.xls
I've tried this in the workbook code area but it doesn't do anything.

I have attached the file I am working on. I am attempting to create a link to an external file based on the value of cells in column A. Then I would like to simply copy the formula down, lets say in Column B, the rows and as I do the external file reference will change depending on the value within the cell in Column A. I hope that I am making sense.
I am using Windows Vista with Excel 2007. The files will all be within the same file folder, however, there are hundereds of files so I won't be able to open them all for the indirect to work.
Actually i've downloaded Tracking report of my SPO and this report is on 4-5 csv files (1 file per week). I have to gather data from these 4 files into one Worksheet. I have to do this with command button on my worksheet; with Open file dialogue box (i want to locate the csv files).
CSV files are something like that (I need only first 4 columns):
ABCDE1Name MSISDN Date Location MapLink 2M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 20:36:18" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 3M.

and my Worksheet is like that (With a command Button):
I want to import first 3 columns of csv file on first 3 columns on my worksheet; leave 2 columns blank and then import the 4th column... now for example i have done importing data from 1st csv file and the data is on 50 rows.. i click the command button again, locate the 2nd csv file.. do the same thing (import 1st 3 columns, 2 blank, then 4th) --from 51st Row-- and so on...
