Pulling Data From External Files
Apr 28, 2003
I have 12 external files (one per month) and need a quick way to pull these into a reporting book. I've used the following code...
Workbooks.Open FileName:= _
"J:ManfinMISNew ReportingMIS2P200301.xls"
Columns("A:B").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("MainReportingBook.xls").Activate
Sheets("P200301").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Windows("P200301.xls").Activate
Call OpenClipboard(0&): Call EmptyClipboard: Call CloseClipboard
ActiveWindow.Close
However with 10000++ rows of data in each file, this is very very slow (approx 5 mins to update all 12 months).

I am using Excel 2010. I am trying to make a spreadsheet where I can type in a date (02-19-2014), and pull in box scores from a basketball website. I have everything set up so that the date is parsed into (3) cells (02 19 and 2014) so that it can easily fit into the URL:
[URL]
As you can see, the month value in the URL is "02" the day value is "19" and the year value is "2014". What I want to be able to do is type in any date I want and return the box scores from that day in a new tab. I have everything done so that the new tab is automatically created and named, so my only issue is that I can't figure out how to input the day, month and year values automatically into the code for the Get External Data pull:
Code:
'Import from www.basketball-reference.com
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"URL;http://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/dailyleaders.cgi?month=02&day=19&year=2014" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "dailyleaders.cgi?month=02&day=19&year=2014"

I am trying to write a macro that will select all cells on a sheet from a2 until the last cell with data. (The last column will be column k but not all columns are completly filled. And I need all the data from the page copied.) Then paste that info onto the first sheet. Then go to another sheet do the same thing except paste it in the first open cell on the first sheet.
Then take all the data from the first sheet of different files into one seperate file.

I have a main spreadsheet (Excel file) that pulls data from 3 other Excel files. Every day, the main spreadsheet has #NUM! errors in the cells referencing the other 3 external files. The errors go away when I open and then close the other 3 files, and the data then shows up fine on the main spreadsheet. What is causing this? Is there a way for the main file to automatically update the links without the errors? I set the option to enable external content and automatically update the links, but I keep getting the #NUM! error, until I actually open and close the 3 other referenced files, then it will work fine for the rest of the day.

I am trying to use the following formula to pull out data from multiple excel files in a folder called "Certificate".
='D:SSR Sec and Techcertificate[STUDENT 2.xlsx]Student Record'!$B$10
='D:SSR Sec and TechcertificatePath
[STUDENT 2.xlsx] File Name
Student Record'!$B$10 Sheet name and Cell reference
The formula works without any problem. I want to replicate the formula to extract the same data in multiple excel files. In this case only the second part of the formula needs to change to "STUDENT 3", "STUDENT 4", "STUDENT 5" and so on. I have created a column in excel with those values. I am trying to use the cell contents in the above "formula", but I cannot seem to replace this value in the formula. Needless to mention that I tried to drag the formula, but it does not work. I am attaching the two excel files.

to fix a .xls file that wasn't created by me.
In order to do that I need to change the path of an External Data that is an access 2003 file (.mdb file).
The only way that I imagine it is possible is to select a cell that is an adress for the query result, than click on properties and change it selecting the new path of file (the path moves depending on the user of the .xls).

I'd be very grateful if s.o. help me find solution for the following task:
I want to fill certain worksheet with data from external .tsv files. The .tsv files are with a almost a common name (something_date.tsv), located in folders for each month.
What I'm usually doing and want to automate:
- I'm opening the first .tsv file from the monthly folder;
- Creating AutoFilter on the first row;
- Selecting a custom criteria from the AutoFilter;
- Copying the cells matching this AutoFilter criteria;
- Pasting in a predefined worksheet (with AutoFilter on first row);
*All of the copied cells are not being altered in the predefined worksheet, i.e. the first rows of the .tsv file and the worksheet are the same.
- Doing exactly the same with the next file in the monthly folder (but pasting below the already copied cells in the workbook).
- Etc.;
- Etc.;

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 want to link data between two files, which are always in the same position relative to each other, but can be copied to other locations. Here is an example:
D:Job 1SourceJob Info.xls
D:Job 1SlaveClient Form.xls
Cell B1 in Client Form.xls refers to Cell A1 in Job Info.xls. This link is created when both files are open. When Job Info.xls is closed, the reference in Client Form changes to 'D:Job 1Source[Job Info.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1.
Then, I copy and save Job 1 as Job 2. Thus, the second set of folders are: ....

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 have the following code which edits an excel file and saves it in a different format, I think want the code to take this newly saved file and open it in an external application (Softplot) and then save it through this new application.
VB:
Sub FormatMacro1a(ws As Worksheet)
ws.Copy
Rows(1).Delete
Columns("D:E").Cut Destination:=Columns("J:K")
Columns("F:K").Cut Destination:=Columns("D:I")
Range("E1:E201").Value = "0"
[Code] .....
As it stands I have the file saving in a new format and I can open a specific file in softplot through VBA however where I am getting stuck is opening my newly saved file and then saving it.
I have tried the following :
VB:
Path = "C:Program FilesSoftPlot-8softplot.exe"
File = "ActiveWorkbook"

i want it to change the Header in E1 to the name of that price level and have the prices change according to that price level. The price level prices are currently being pulled from another tab through vlookups which lookups up the part numbers. My method only works with 1 price level right now and have no clue how to approach it with more then one price level. Also these part numbers will change positions and locations and are not permanent hence why i thought to use a vlookup.
Is there a way macro wise ( preferably through a formula ) that i can have Column E prices change according to the Price Level Entered.

An external data web query points to a web site that offers a foreign exchange rate calculator. In my browser, I selected the specific currency pair I need and used the resulting url in the web query. The "New Web Query" pane resolves the url correctly and allows me to select the table data I want (the little yellow arrow turns to a green check mark). However, when I hit "Import" and select the target cell, the only data returned is the parameters from the url and an error msg (This web query returned no data...). How do I get the query to pass the parameters to the website correctly?

In the little chart on the left, I have the customer name, when their story is due, and when it was completed. On the right, I want to show how many words per hour my journalist is averaging for each week. What I'd like to do in cells J2 through J5 is to have a formula that pulls out the total number of words written for all projects that occurred during that time frame. I can't seem to figure out the formula, though. I was thinking that I needed an array formula starting with ifferror and calling from the row functions, but I can't seem to get it to work out right.
Here's my sample sheet: sample data journalists.xlsx

I want to be able to create tables out of this where I can pull all line items with correlation > 0.8 or <0.1 or <0.3 etc.
I think a macro will have to be written for this.

I have searched extensively for an answer to this but can't find anything.
I am pulling data off the web and it puts data down the column in the following manner:
Data
Number
Number
Data2
Number
Number
I need to extract each set of Data to another worksheet. The problem is that it will be anywhere from 1 row each to 10 rows each. In each instance, there is a blank between the two sets of Data. I've looked at ISBLANK, LOOKUP, SEARCH, etc. but nothing I've tried has worked out.

I have written a macro to pull in data from a website each day. However the macro falls over because the end of the url changes slightly each day as the website provider updates the information. Unfortunately there does not appear to be a logical pattern to the number change in the url and so I don’t think I can pre-empt what the change will be. The path through the website remains the same, but the url changes as a new csv document replaces the old one. Is there any way of writing the macro so that it opens/picks up the current url rather than a fixed url?

I went through the thread http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=302438. I have similar problem of pulling the data from http://www.nseindia.com/ site. Could you please help me?
The navigation to the page required is as below.
http://www.nseindia.com/ > Equity > Historical Data > Security-wise data >
eg. NSE Symbol: RPL, Series: ALL, From date: 01-01-2008, To date: 01-05-2008.
After clicking on the 'Get Results' button it navigates to the page with tables. At the end it says "Download file in csv format". upon clicking this a csv file opens. (http://www.nseindia.com/content/equi...-2008RPLXN.csv)
I need this page to be opened in Excel sheet. How should I go ahead?
(Basically I need historical stock data csv files of various stocks)
Even though a simple web query opens the page, it do not work if the parameters (stock name, date) are changed.
I found that the last resulting page in csv is using a "REFERRAL URL". Could this be a problem? How to get around?
I know little bit of VBA and can further work to pass variables.

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet that references data tables I have pulled from the internet, with the hopes that these tables will update as I refresh the data connections. I'm in the early stages of creating this spreadsheet right now, but whenever I try to refresh my data connections, it takes a tremendous amount of time. I have about 6 connections with 100 row lines total. Is this typical with data connections to the web? Is there a better way to do this?

I am creating a tool that many people will be using. I need a way to do the following from vba:
1. Click on the "From Web" button under Get External Data section in Data and show the web query pop-up
2. Input the url into the field and press enter
At this point, it will be the user's responsibility to log in w/ their username and password. I have tried to record a macro w/ no success. I just need to get the query open for the user without them having to do anything.
