Open Workbook Where Named Cell Contain Name & Path, Copy Range And Paste Values
May 19, 2009
I am successfully opening a .csv file using a variable value stored in a named range in my Main file (the variable includes the directory and path).
I copy data from the .csv file to the Main file then I need to close the .csv file without saving but I want to do that by using the
Windows("xxxx").Activate
command where "xxxx" is the namedrange in my Main file which stores the .csv filename (without the directory and path prefix).
I can use the
ActiveWindow.ActivatePrevious
command but if I have another workbook open, this one closes instead of the .csv file I opened from the macro.
I realise this is probably very basic and I've searched the forums but can't find any identical postings.
I am trying to create a macro that will copy any folders that exist in any of the paths listed in the first column. The folders should be copied to the path of the open workbook containing the macro. Below is the macro I have currently, much of which was taken from information I found in this thread [URL]....
VB:
Sub wrapper3() x = 1 Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") While Sheets("Air").Cells(x, 1) <> "" v = InStrRev(Sheets("Air").Cells(x, 1), "") dest = ActiveWorkbook.Path & Mid(Sheets("Air").Cells(x, 1), v, 99)
[Code]...
This code seems to work fine if all of the folders exist to be copied. My problem is that some do not and it is creating a "Path Not Found" error for which I need a fix. If the folder doesn't exist at the path nothing should be copied and the next path can be evaluated.
I have created a spreadsheet some time ago and have been asked to improve on it but I'm rusty with VBA.
I have an automated ordering system that saves each sent order as the date e.g "05-04-2013.xls" but the management team want a graph with the data for the last 4 weeks compared. I have created a seperate workbook called "consumables report.xls" which has a column with the products listed followed by columns "Quantity" and "cost" which is repeated for the 4 weeks of the month.
I want to add a button to prompt the user to choose the saved order e.g "05-04-2013.xls" (all orders saved in same directory) to copy and paste the quantity and cost columns (c8,D69) into "consumables report.xls". I got this to work earlier but it would only paste the formulas and not the values. So I need
A prompt to open workbook Copy range (c8,d69) Close work sheet Paste special .value (c8,D69)
I dont care if it has to open the workbook to copy the data as this will only be used once a month so it dosnt matter how slow the code is.
I have read post re this question but have not been able to answer my problem. I get the error message 'Application defined or object defined error' when running the code below. I should indicate the range counter currently indicated about 6,200 rows that this code will work on and the individual range names in the list of 6,200 rows are spread over at least 20 worksheets.
The code appears to be running but after some time it stops on the line of code 'Range(Cells(i, 1).Value) = Cells(i, 2)'.
Sub PopulateWithImportData() Dim counter As Integer counter = Sheets("Imported Data").Range("Counter")
I'd like to know if it is possible to run a macro in a workbook that will open another workbook (of the users choice) extract data from it, such as columns from its sheets then paste that data into the workbook the macro is running from. The file to be opened will change, so i've found some code that enables the user to select the file to open then open it.
Dim strFile As String strFile = Application. GetOpenFilename If strFile <> "False" Then Workbooks.Open strFile
This brings up the standard windows choose file to open box, then opens the selected file. Am I correct in thinking that the Dim here will store the file name I select in the open file box? If so, I'd like to know how to select the workbook using the dim so I can manipulate it from the workbook I'm running the macro in. Incidentally, once the the data has been copied, I'd like the workbook opened with the macro to be closed.
I tried all failed.We have about 160 different workbooks (one for each business unit) stored online. Staff enters information about their weekly revenue and expenses and here at head office I collect that information and consolidate them.What I am trying to do is that;1.) Create a master Workbook with ~160 worksheets (One worksheet for each unit) named exactly the same with other workbooks2.) And macro can pull the information from related files stored in a certain folderIt is very much like another members problem but I am not sure why I cant get that code working for me? [URL]
Am trying to copy 50 worksheets from One workbook, into separate existing files (overwriting previous file) in existing folders; once copied, destination files can not be linked to source file.
I'm able to copy the tabs into new workbooks, in the correct folders, but when trying to perform PasteSpecial in new books, original source file is also pasted over.
The parts of the file name and folder location are cell values located on each sheet.
...
For Each sheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets sheet.Copy Set workbook = ActiveWorkbook With workbook.Sheets(1) .UsedRange.Copy .UsedRange.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues .Cells(1).Select Application.CutCopyMode = False End With
Been playing with this for some time and can't quite figure it out. I'm trying to copy a named range and paste special value to another named range of the same size. I recorded a Macro that does what I need, and I'll use if necessary, but thought I'd try to consolidate the code a bit and can't get it to work. The recorded macro is as follows:
Sub PasteRanges() Application.Goto Reference:="DataCopy30Yr" Selection.Copy Application.Goto Reference:="DataPaste30Yr" ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:=3, Link:=1, DisplayAsIcon:=False, _ IconFileName:=False End Sub
My attempt to consolidate was this:
Sub PasteRanges() Range("DataCopy30Yr").Copy Destination: Range("DataPaste30Yr").PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues) End Sub
I get the Run-time error 1004 Copy method of Range class failed when I try to run this. Again, I can use the longer version with no problem, but in the interest of learning and since I have spent some time not being able to come up with the solution, I thought I'd ask the experts opinions before I gave up on it.
how to go about taking data from a closed workbook with a range say A1 to A100, and place it in the work book i have open. I have 3 different sheets in the open work book but all the data is coming from the one sheet in the closed workbook.
I am a trainee dermatologist. We undertake allergy patch tests. There is a long list of different patch tests which are selected based on the patients history. I have put each of the types of patch testing on a master sheet. What I would like to be able to do is to have a control button next to each set, and when clicked would add that particular set to a "new patient" worksheet tab. And with every set having its own button, more than one set could be added to a new sheet. In the new patient worksheet id like the sets added with a single row gap between them.
I had tried, and managed to get a single series to work, but then it wouldnt allow me to add the next set, saying that sheet already exists. Ideally finally, id like there to be some way, or message to make sure after printing the new patient worksheet gets deleted. I hope that all makes sense ! Even if I had a code for a single button that added to a master sheet at the next available row +1 I think I could manipulate the code to suit.
Is it possible, in vba, to copy two sets of cell values to two clipboards (clipboard1 and clipboard2?), open another workbook and paste those two seperate clipboard values into another two cells?
In my project I have two workbooks. I am working on getting one to pull data from another depending on which employee is selected from a drop down list.
TestLOG.xls contains a worksheet for each employee, with named sections within for various training the employee has, and down each row has information on the date this was received, initial, recurrent, etc. It is only this single worksheet for each employee that any data entry occurs, which makes things a lot more organized and efficient. TestFORMS.xls is the workbook accessed by the records department which has different worksheets depending on what data is to be presented. When an employees name is selected, I need the form to pull the specific data from another workbook, and post it on the current worksheet. This get repeated a couple times to fill the adjacent columns of data. I can't just select the whole table from the other workbook because in this current worksheet for example, only specific columns are pulled from the other workbook.
To better explain the flow... Current workbook is TestFORMS.xls Current sheet is Test Closed workbook is TestLOG.xls
In TestFORMS, sheet Test, when named cell Employee is selected with a value... Then open TestLOG in the background and open sheet of same name as Employee, and cope range ACtype. Back in TestFORMS, sheet Test, paste the ACtype data in the range named Type.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim Ename As String Ename = Range("Employee").Value If IsEmpty(Ename) Then Exit Sub Workbooks("TestLOG.xls").Sheets(Ename).Range("ACtype").Select Selection.Copy Workbooks("TestFORMS.xls").Sheets("Test").Activate Range("Type").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues End Sub
Within the same sub, I would add additional lines of code to copy and paste the other ranges needed on the current worksheet. My current hangup is that I get an error at Range("ACtype") as that is not the proper way to call the range. There's more work to be done with the macro yet, like having it pull the data with TestLOG closed, which I believe is done by listing the path to filename. Then I need to maintain cell formatting on the new table when the data is posted to it. Hopefully the final task is to get this working so that when a new employee is selected in TestFORMS, the previous employees data is cut and the new posted, as the worksheet is just printed out for each employee and put on hardfile.
I have a named range within a sheet. It was pulled across when i performed a move/copy - create copy from another workbook. The name contains characters that cannot be displayed or recognised and so they are displayed as square symbols. This causes me an issue as i cannot delete the name. Even if i paste the list names, i cannot copy/paste the name as the characters are not recognised. I also tried using a macro to delete all names, which did delete all names, with the exception of this one. The VB code used was :
Please see attached sample worksheet. Column A will be generated by the user manually.
I'm looking for a way in VBA to have A1:D20 in Sheet2 copied and pasted in the "Bank Reconciliation" Sheet based on how many "Markets" there are in Column A. Then, once that's complete to have A22:D30 (the smaller box in Sheet2) copied and pasted directly below those results.
I have what the macro would hopefully generate to the right in "Bank Reconciliation" (B6:E54) as an example. So if there's a market in A1, copy and paste the box to B6. If there's a market in A2, copy and paste the box directly below the first (B26) etc. etc. until it's done, then paste the smaller box directly below whatever the macro generates.
I am having trouble getting a macro to open a specific file from an open workbook in the same folder based on the current path of the open file. The application is this... I have two files in the same folder. The first is for data entry and it contains a macro button that will open the second which is a template to which the data in the first will be copied. I can easily do this with a fixed path to the second file, however, I would like to be able to move or copy the folder containing these files to other locations or computers without having to change the path each time. I would like to base the path to the second file minus the file name on the first (already open file) path. Assuming that the first file containing the desired macro button is already open, here is one of many of my attempts...
I'm trying to use a macro that will copy & paste values from one workbook to another. Everything works fine until I try to get it to Paste to next available row.
It worked the first time, but after that it jumps, several hundred rows at a time.
i facing another problem at here and do not know how to write the part of coding. it is pending for 2 weeks. i do not know how to explain so i attach the excel to explain. i hope can get any reply soon.
I need a macro that will copy a selected range from an existing worksheet in a workbook and paste the data to the last row in another workbook on a particular worksheet.
Copy and paste the values only from one workbook and a set of named ranges (Name1, Name2, Name3) but only the rows within the range were TRUE is found in column A - To a CLOSED workbook named Data / Sheet1 - located at C:NetworkTemplate starting with cell B10.
I need method, using a button, that looks at a cell--say EO2, for example--, looks back on a master worksheet at a specified row and range for a match, then looks at the information from a specified range below the matching cell (The information in this column will either be blank or have an "X" in the cell), and then those rows that do not have an "X" will be hidden in the corresponding rows in the working worksheet. Therefore, if at any time the value in "EO2" ever changes, then it will automatically find a new match and repopulate and hide information as before. About 130 columns will have its own button so that a "query" can be made that depends on the information in a particular cell in that column.
The master worksheet now has matrix of 287 rows and 58 columns. Each row is for an operating procedure and each column shows a job code. An "X" in a coordinate cell for a column/row shows whether that job code is responsible for knowing that operating procedure. So, on the working sheet, an employee's primary job code is given underneath his or her name. When the button is pushed, all the operating procedures not required for a given person will be hidden and only the required ones will remain visible--grouped, if you will. Qualification dates will be easier to see now that the information is consolidated. Whenever someone transfers to a new position, a new code will be inputed on the working sheet. When the button is pushed, a new grouping will result. Any operating instructions that overlap will still have qualification dates, so that information will not need to be transcribed.
how do i go about creating a macro to copy a range in sheet 1 in workbook A and paste that to a new tab(the last one) in the existing workbook B. i would like the tab to be renamed based on a cell value. preferably workbook B doesnt have to be open, and the save and close it
I am looking for either formula which will allow me to copy data from a workbook with multiple named sheets into a workbook with a single named sheet. For instance workbook 1 has sheets named bob, sue, and tom and there is a workbook 2 which only has sheet bob. I want to copy the range fo data from sheet bob in workbook1 to workbook 2 as long as workbook 2 has sheet bob.
I have a filtered worksheet -WB1 (filtered by Column "B"). I want to count the number of cells or rows in column "B"(Only the filtered ones) of WB1. Copy out that exact number of cells from another workbook(WB2) from the bottom moving up(Column "A") and paste it into WB1 column "I".
WB1 - Count Filtered Cell/Row with reference to Column "B" WB2 - copy Cell count bottom to top of Column "A" WB1 - Paste into Column "I"
I HAVE A SHEET WHERE USER ENTERS DATA, AND WHEN USER ENVOKES MACRO, THE SAID DATA IS COPIED TO A 2ND SHEET WHERE IT IS STORED. NOW PROBLEM IS THAT IT COPIES DATA OVER PREVIOUS DATA, BECUASE THE REFRENCE IS NOT DYNAMIC. WHAT I NEED THAT THE DATA IS COPIES EVERY TIME TO THE NEXT ROW,
