Opening Two Excel Files & Copying A Range From Both
Aug 17, 2009
I have a workbook "revision.xls" i have two excel workbooks "A.xls" and "B.xls" in a folder ( revision ) in my desktop. the location of this folder is " C:Documents and SettingskrishnaDesktop evision )
Both the excel files inside this folder ( "A.xls" and "B.xls" ) have columns B to F in each of them filled with some data.
The no.of rows upto which the data is filled in these two files can vary.
What i want is a macro which can open both these files automatically and can copy the contents in column B to L in both these excel files into revision.xls in such a way that the column B TO L of the excel file alphabetically first in the folder has to be copied to A to K column of revision.xls then after leaving one column blank i.e leaving L blank column ,the column B TO L of the excel file alphabetically 2nd in the folder has to be copied to M to W column of revision.xls.

I have a lot of files with data that i need to copy into a master file.
I could open each file copy the data i need and paste it into the file. But I know there must be a way to do a loop macro.
All the files are labled "Sauce Data "Date"". all the data is in the same place in each file. I can easy have a list of all these file names in a tab in a main file "Main Data".
I what to be able to open each file copy from tab "Sauce info" A1:B65, and paste into "Main Data", tab "main" and then create a long list of data.

I have Mac 2008 Excel. For my work, I download .asp files and open them in Excel. No problem. The problem is... I'm wanting to use another computer at work that has Mac 2011. When I open the exact same .asp files, they show coding (html?). I can fix this by changing the name of the file extension from ".asp" to ".xls." But I convert these files a lot during the day and this is an extra step I don't want to take. And it works fine in version 2008. So what can I do in version 2011 to make it open the files without all the coding?

I would like to be able to open multiple .txt files into one excel document. I had been using a code that opened all the files I wanted into a NEW excel document. I have a template that I use and I want the files to open in sheets following the main template sheet. This is what I have been using:
Sub CombineTextFiles()
Dim FilesToOpen
Dim x As Integer
[Code]...
And it worked just fine for that purpose but how could I edit this?
how I could use VBA to make a table out of data that would be cool too.

I have a drawing index in excel sheet as shown below "there are thousands rows but here is only an example":
FILEID
TITLE
brd213962-1-1.pdf
SPECIAL PIPE SUPPORT DRAWING
brd213962-2-1.pdf
SPECIAL PIPE SUPPORT DRAWING
brd213962-3-1.pdf
SPECIAL PIPE SUPPORT DRAWING
brd213962-4-1.pdf
SPECIAL PIPE SUPPORT DRAWING
brd213962-5-1.pdf
SPECIAL PIPE SUPPORT DRAWING
And in the same folder I have all the drawings in PDF format and all the drawing are exactly named as listed under FILEID column.
I just want to click the drawing number in the excel sheet and get the drawing opened automatically.
Currently what I am doing is searching the index for a particular drawing and then searching the folder for that drawing to open.

I'm using Excel 2007. I didn't change a single option but for some reason this problem came up. When I open an already saved Excel file it opens up in a newly created file. For example, if I open a file saved as "Monthly Sales" it will open it up and rename it as "Monthly Sales1." When I go to save it again, which would normally just save it where it currently sits, it basically acts as if I hit Save As and pops up the box asking me where I want to save it. This is extremely annoying as most of the places where these files are saved are several folders deep which makes it time consuming every time I open and alter a file. I can't find any options that looks something like this and it only happens in Excel.

Is there a way of reading .csv files and copying the data from say Sheet1 without actually opening the file itself? I have .csv's that will take some time to open due to size so dont really want to open them, but want to copy the data from all of them within a specific folder.
I am running windows 7 x64 and office 2010 x64.

When I attempt to open a file I get a blank screen. If I try to close the window it asks if I want to save the file so it is must be open but not visible. Have I inadvertently clicked on an icon with which I am not familiar?

All of the sudden, I've started having issues on one PC with Excel opening CSV files.
I work with these files every day and they work on other computers.
The problem is that if the field value starts with a dash, Excel will not show any records before that. Meaning, if there is a record on line 50000 that starts with a dash, it will not show the previous 49000 records.
I can open the file in Notepad++ and find all '- and replace it with ' and it will work fine. But I have hundreds of files.
This just started. I'm using using Office 2010 x64. I'm tempted to get Office 2013 to see if this will resolve it as something has obviously went wrong.
In the past, I would open the CSV files just like any Excel file and NEVER any issues. I would do this with multiple files each day but even the file that I use to not have issues with in the past is now an issue if it has a dash in a field.

I received a few 1-3gb xml files from the government and I would like to open them in an Excel format. I have tried opening them using Excel 2013 (both as an xml table and as a read only workbook) with a machine running 8gb RAM and a 3.4 ghz i5 processor. I left it running overnight but Excel continues to "not respond". The file is intended to display thousands of line items with around 40-50 columns of data. For previous (and much smaller) similar files, the saved workbook is a manageable file. The only hurdle here is getting these open.

Copying data that is in one coloumn in an unsorted order to another file where I have the values in a specific order I want. There I want it sorted in a new row each time I click a button in the first file.
I have a script that does this in a new column each time. I need it in a new row in a table to keep the graphs auto updating without having to use a macro in the end file. Current VBA that copies it to a new column instead of a new row in the table (modified to remove file names).
How the current VBA works. It refreshes the file it is in to update the data from SQL, then opens the other file, copies it over using sumif compared to the first coloumn in the file. Adds the current date, copies everything it added and replaces it with values so the formula isn't kept once it saves and closes the file. It then saves the start file and stops.
Code:
ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"File2.xlsx"
[Code]....

I receive around 40 emails per day, all in the following format:
Subject: "Team x.x - date"
Body text: "x files sent"
where x represents a number.
What I'm hoping to be able to do is drop all these emails into a folder (in .msg format), and use excel to look through them and extract the team number from the subject, and the number of files sent from the body text for each message.
Unfortunately, while I class myself as reasonably competent with excel vba, working with emails or .msg files is new to me, so I genuinely haven't a clue how to do this, or if it's even possible.

I have 50 files each with 1000 numbers in column A.
I need to compare every list with every other list and calculate the Pearson function.
I am ok with the vb code to compare every file with everyother.
I can do this by opening each file then closing but it takes too long.
Each of the 50 csv file names is in my destination workbook
I would like to define an array using the file name, then extract 2 lists without opening the files then perform the pearson function and place the value in the destination workbook. (The pearson function just measures the strength of correlation between 2 sets of numbers)

I am trying to view a csv file that has string data, some of them like '395E02'. Excel automatically converts this string into an exponential number. Is there any way to stop Excel from performing the conversion so I can read the number as is?

Last monday I clicked on my quick launch icon for my time card, which is in excel. It opened up, but I got an error message saying that excel had an error, send report or don't send report. Closed everthing out and clicked on the icon again, but this time excel oppend but the file did not. I get just a blank (don't know what to call it) spreadsheet. There are no cells to enter anything in. I do get the "File, Edit, View, and so on" at the top. I can click on File than Open and browes for the file and open it that way, but I can't open any Excel file by double clicking it in explorer.

I am trying to write a program that will open a group of files whose name is in the format S1T1C1.vfc where the S1T1 part of the name will remain constant (S refers to subject number and T refers to trial number) but the "C1" (condition) will be different every time since we randomize our trials. I have a working loop that will open all the trials for a particular subject but only if I remove the last two letters of the file name in the folder. Is there a way to only look at the first part of the file name (which will be unique) and ignore the last two characters?

I am trying to come up with a macro that is able to open a .htm file in Excel, perform a set of code, close the file, then repeat the process with the next .htm file in the folder. I found the following post which has helped me thus far, but there is something that is not allowing Excel to open the .htm files even though there is no problem opening them in Excel manually or with another macro I've made. Here is the link to the set of code I'm currently working with:
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...-a-folder.html
I've put some .xls and .csv files into the target folder and the program works perfectly which tells me Excel is having a problem with the .htm format for some reason. Here is the set of code I currently have which I have slightly modified for the new file format:

On the first worksheet of my workbook I have a list of file names in cells I11:I27. The filenames have been 'compiled' using the concatenate function, so for example, although cell I11 displays:
Richard 2007-09.xls,
the cell contents are really:
=CONCATENATE(G20," ",L9,"-",J9,".xls")
Using VBA, I want to be able to open each respective file in cells I11:I27, copy the contents into this workbook (sheet=raw), and close it. My problem is that I don't know how to tell excel the filename in VBA, because the cells contents are not really the filename - they are a formula.

I'd like is for an automatic job to be set up on my machine (windows) that opens the CSV files, formats them, then closes the file (as a .xls doc). So that anyone subsequently opening the file opens a formatted spredsheet.
I tried setting up the auto_open macro function, but I have trouble because I need to select the data (which is in delimited csv format) before I run the formatting routine, opening the file and running the file can't cope with this because the selection (Col A) has not been made even though I include the column selection before the formatting when recording the auto_open macro.
the error reported is:
runtime error 1004:
no data to parse
So is there a way of doing this??
To format the data, I use the following steps:
1, Select column A
2, Data>Text to columns>delimited>~ (~is the delimiter)
3, Column data format text for col A & B
4, Select all (top lh box above cells)
5, auto column width (double click on a column boundary)
6, select columns C to I
7, centre justify
example of csv data:
Site~Pipe~:Lsno~:MMSSid~:MMSControl~:MMSStatus~Bore~Pspec~:CTLTargetted
/PTE2D~/ADMIN-TEST~730001~-6727~YES~0~50~13459N~60%

I have a long list of .xls files. I have to open each file, copy a few columns of data and paste it into a single xls file. I can write a macro to do this, the only problem I have is how do I get the macro to open all the xls files with different names ? I am thinking something like sorting the files by date and then let the macro open files from the oldest to the most recent one, but is there a command to do that ?

I am trying to write a Macro that will do the following.
1. Using a new workbook
2. Open a file in a in a directory. Then
3. Run a vlookup using the opened file as the filename in the vlookup
4. Paste the results of the vlookup into the original file next to the file name.
5. Close the file and open the next one in the folder.
The folder contains about 2k files that it needs to loop through. I found a macro on this site created by Ravishankar and attempted to add to it. Not going so well.

I have a csv file. When I open it by double clicking, all the finance figures appear as currency with the currency symbol. I can use the SUM function on these and it's perfect.
However, when I open this file using a macro, these same numbers look the same, except that they are now left justified and are text because the SUM function no longer works. If I select a range, I get the count of the number of items selected showing at the bottom of the screen but not the sum.
I have tried opening the file using the OpenText function which has several ways of setting a date format to the fields but nothing for numbers.
I have even tried, in the macro, selecting a cell with numeric 1 and then selecting the range and pasting the 1 as a multiply function but this doesn't work either.
