Open Multiple Files & Copy From

Jan 2, 2007

I want to know if its possible to write a macro that will prompt me to open a document, then once open it will copy data and paste it into the working spreadsheet. I have a mini macro that cuts and pastes data elsewhere in the sheet but at present I am manually opening a file then copying all and then pasteing the data which is rather slow.

Open Multiple Files From Array Of Filenames If Not Already Open VBA

Sep 15, 2014

I'm trying to open multiple files based on an array of WBnames that are on a 'Dashboard' tab, but I only want to open them if they are not already opened. The code below doesn't seem to check if they are open and just opens everything....

VB:
Sub OpenWorkbooks()

Dim WBnames() As String 'Array of WorkBooks to be Open

Get Open File Name To Open Multiple Files

Jul 3, 2007

I'm doing the following:

Dim myname As String
myname = Application. GetOpenFilename

I use it to attempt to open first a QuickBooks file and then an excel workbook.
The Quickbooks file opens fine. The Excel workbook never appears to open but
I do get the full file pathname to my excel workbook returned which I then
parse off to get just the workbook name.

Why would it behave this way? I open both these files manually all the time.

Also, I'm trying to use a filter as follows:

myname = Application.GetOpenFilename("*.QBW")

I get a compile error saying that I'm calling the function wrong.

Copy And Rename Files In VBA By Searching Multiple Folders For Files?

Jan 4, 2014

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.)

Open Multiple PRN Files

Open Multiple Files

Oct 2, 2007

i have a master file which needs to be updated by several other sourcefiles. I did a macro running from the master file which opens all of the sourcefiles one by one, copies the relevant info from the sourcefile to the masterfile, and closes the sourcefile, then moves to the other one. i know this is probably not the case, but the code below seems to behave randomly: sometimes it works, sometimes it bugs by saying file not found runtime error 1004:

Dim masterfile As String
masterfile = "Master.xls"
Dim sourcefile As String
CurrentWeek = InputBox("Enter current week number")
CountWk = 35
sourcefile = "Source" & CountWk
Workbooks.Open (sourcefile)
....

The last statement causes the error. Both master.xls and source35.xls are in the same folder.

Open Multiple Text Files

Mar 9, 2007

the VBA code to allow a user to navigate to any of our network directories and upon selecting (using workbook getopenfilename hopefully) the proper folder on their directory open each txt file (delimited with a pipe) and then save the active file as a xls file and then close it and move on to the next file. I am pretty sure this will take a do while statement but I am not sure how to write it.

Open Multiple Files Via GetOpenFileName

Mar 27, 2008

I'm having problems with the multiselect argument of the getopenfilename function. I've used this dozens of times with no problems, but now it doesn't work for me. I tried copying and pasting code that works in one module,

What I'm using is

Sub OpenFiles()
Dim vFiles As Variant, iNumfiles As Integer

vFiles = Application.GetOpenFilename(MultiSelect:=True)

If IsArray(vFiles) Then
For iNumfiles = LBound(vFiles) To UBound(vFiles)
MsgBox vFiles(iNumfiles)
Next iNumfiles
End If

End Sub

pretty simple, expect that when I select multiple files in the open dialog box, vfiles is a string containing one of the filenames, not an array containing them all! (by selecting, I simply highlight all the fiels I want and click open)

Open All Xls Files In Folder & Copy To 1 Spreadsheet

Nov 11, 2009

I’m wondering if this is possible, if I have a folder with say 30 excel spreadsheets (.xls) all named differently (number of files will always change), can I easily write something in VBA to Open all the spreadsheets and copy each sheet over to an existing Excel spreadsheet? For example, have a ‘template’ spreadsheet where the VBA would exist, then have the first sheet, (Sheet1) of each 30 sheets be copied back over to the template.xls? Even better, could I rename each Sheet1 to the name of the file before copying it over? This would basically be the first step in my process of getting the spreadsheet made.


I found this code in a similar question, so how can I rename the Sheet to the opened file name, then copy that over to template.xls?

Open Files & Copy Data Between Workbooks

Sep 15, 2007

Simply trying to copy data from one worksheet to another. The source sheet is an excel file exported from an Access table. I recorded the macro using the recorder in Excel because I am no programmer, but when I try to run the code, I get this error:

"Code execution has been interrupted" ...and the Range I tried to select in the source file is highlighted by the Editor.

Is the source file protected somehow?

Loop Macro To Open/copy List Of Files

Oct 24, 2007

I am trying to write a macro to open a specific file (i.e site 1) and copy a range and paste that data into another workbook (Comparisons).

I can manage to write the macro to do this one by one, but ideally I would like to write some sort of loop macro that will go down a specific range of files (column A), listing the copy range (column B), and where to paste (column C) until it hits a blank row.

That way I do not have to keep re-programming my comparison spreadsheet every time a new site opens.

Feb 13, 2013

I have a macro to find me a document from a certain details, but in some circumstances their may be multiple applicable documents, I know nothing of user forms, but how to I find all the documents, show their "modified date", "Name","File type" and select one or which several to open.

My current code:

Code:

Code:
Private Sub OpenPDF()
Dim Ans
Dim TheFile As String

[Code]....

To have something more like a form popup showing for a search within a folder for files containing 'Brians Store':

Open? Name Date
O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsA.xlsm" 1/2/12
O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsB.xlsm" 1/1/12
O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsA.xlsm" 1/5/11
O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsC.xlsm" 1/4/11

And I may want to open the 1st, 2nd and last files.

Open Found Files & Copy / Paste Onto Subsequent Rows

Feb 15, 2008

I have a requirement to create a master spreadsheet using a macro to copy set cells from several other spreadsheets and paste them into the master one in a list for accounting purposes.

So far the macro reads in the spreadsheet filename(s) and copy/pastes the cells to the master one - I need to be able to paste the values onto subsequent rows for each input sheet which is where my problems lies. Currently the row just pasted in is overwritten over by the following one, I need to go to the next row down but am stuck on how to do it.

Sub EmployeeExp()
'
' EmployeeExp Macro
' Macro recorded 12/02/2008 by eugene.cross

Dim i As Integer
Dim f As String

I've attached an example master output sheet to show what I want to produce, albeit this has only one row!

VBA To Open Multiple Files With Different Unknown File Names?

Feb 28, 2014

I'm trying to build a macro to open multiple files at one time that will always be saved in a consistent drive. The problem is that sometimes there will only be one file for a month (ie only at month-end) and other times, there may also be additional files for different dates throughout the month. I wont know ahead of time how many files there will be, but they will always be saved in the same file name type that is "FILE DESCRIPTION MM-DD-YYYY". How can I build a loop that looks for a file on each possible day but doesn't error out if the file doesn't exist?

Macro To Open Specific Files And Copy Data From Week Number Sheets

Jan 8, 2010

What im trying to do is have a macro that will open a file called Blue 1.xls in location "I:SchedulesBlue" and then copy data from cells N13:034. Then paste it into another excel file (Press.xls)on worksheet "Press Break" cell G14.

The data that is copied not always fills up the cells N13:O34 so I need it to go to the next blank cell in column N and paste the information from file Blue 2, and so on for Yellow 1, Yellow 2, YellNR, and Green.

So to summarise I need a macro to open 6 files copy data from the same location on each of the files(N13:O34) then close and paste it into a master document(Press.xls) worksheet "Press Break".

Remove Modules In Multiple Open Files Results In Error If Module Doesn't Exist

Jan 30, 2008

I have a number of similar templates on a server used to produce quotations from other files with lookup formulas. They all have 2 modules, 3 & 4. Module 3 deletes certain data and shows values instead of formulas for most of the pricing etc. Module 4 contains a macro that logs info in another central workbook on the server.

If 2 files are opened based on the same template at once, when the Quote_Wrapup macro (in module3) is run on one of the open files(code follows) from a button on the spreadsheet it often produces a Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range error.

Sub Quote_Wrapup()
'To stop screen flicker
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Open Files In Folder- Wait 30 Seconds Then Close The Files

Jul 5, 2007

I want to allow users to place files (.jpg, .tif, .pdf, .pps etc) into a network folder and then have my program open each file and display it for 30 seconds then close the file and the application before opening the next file.

1. Set up a loop to get a directory listing of the folder and write the listing to a text file.

2. Open up the text file and get the next filename in it

3. Open the file in the associated application

4. Wait for 30 seconds (or some period of time) and then close the file

5. Repeat steps 2-4

DoIt = 1
While DoIt = 1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for output as #1
Print #1, Files In Folder
Close #1

Open "C:TempList.txt" for input as #2
while not eof(2)
Line input #2, MyFile
Display MyFile on screen
Wait for 30 seconds
Close MyFile and MyApplication that opened it
wend
Close #2

I can get the directory listing just fine with no problems

I can open the files in the associated application just fine with no problems.

with closing the application after 30 seconds or some period of time.

I need some code that will allow me to easily send it a filename and it will know how to close the file and the application that opened it.

Files Saved To Program Files Folder, Open As Read Only

Feb 8, 2009

I have an Excel application (Excel 2003) which is stored in the default Program Files folder by the Installer; for example: c:program fileszxchello.xls. The problem I am running into is this file opens as Read Only in Vista and this is interfering with the running of the application. There is no problem opening the file normally in Windows XP.

I have been able to narrow down the cause of this to the User Account Control system in Vista - if I turn OFF User Account Control, the Excel file opens normally and my application functions normally. Is there another option to open the Excel file without turning OFF User Account Control because some users may find it unacceptable to turn OFF this security feature. Ofcourse, one option is to install the application in another location, outside the Program Folder, and the file would open normally, but the Packaging Wizard that I am using to package the application does not allow me to install the application in any other location and thus, the application installs in the Program Folder and I am running into this problem of the Exel file opening as Read Only. Is there a way out of this situation where I can open the file normally (not as Read Only)?

Copy Cell From Multiple Hyperlink Files

Dec 19, 2007

I have created a Macro that lists and creates links of all the Excel Documents in a Directory (500+). I would like to extract from each of those files data from a single cell on a certain sheet. (The sheet and cell are the same in each of these files). The code I have written opens each of these files, copies the data and pastes the value in the column next to each sheet. This is a very time consuming task because of the shear volume. I feel that there is a better way to do this, I'm just not seeing it. If you could come up with a way to create this as a reference that would be great too instead of having to rebuild the entire list if the data changes. Here is the code I have written.

Sub Test2()
' Select cell A1, *first line of data*.
Range("A1").Select
' Set Do loop to stop when an empty cell is reached.
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
Sheets("Contact Information").Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("B8").Select
Selection.Copy
ActiveWindow.Close
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
PasteSpecial zlPasteValues
ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select
Loop
End Sub
