I have a client who has a very complex Excel file with lots of Visual Basic programming. The file has been corrupted somehow, and he doesn't have a backup. Needless to say, he is now a strong proponent of backing up on a regular basis.
He's tried downloading trials of a couple Excel recovery programs, but no luck. He even sent the file to a company who made one of the recovery programs, and they said the file was unrecoverable.
I was using solidworks and a datatable, which is just an excel file, got corrupt.
I killed solidworks in the middle of the process and chances are it didn't get finished updating the file.
In any case, I opened the file and I see some of the data but it is not compressed like the other excel files of similar data. It seems to be a raw binary excel file(not xml) and has some readable text and cell values.
Is there any way to recover the data? I'm sure it's there(it may be partially corrupted or just may not be in the correct binary format that excel is expecting.
An excel workbook we have on a shared drive is returning an error message: "The document is corrupt and cannot be opened. To try and repair it, use the Open and Repair command in the open dialog (File Menu) and select extract data when prompted. I am having trouble following those suggestions, Open an Repair doesnt' seem to be an option on the file menu. I have Excel 2003, is there any way to recover our workbook?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a excel file which is corrupt. The message show" The file may be read only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding". I want to know is it can recovery it or not. I have use many software and still can't fix it.
The file size is around 4.5MB.
tried to save the file, the only message I received was, "File did not save" so I tried accessing my macro, and on opening VB got another error message, "Error Accessing File. Network connection may have been lost."
came to the conclusion that the file is corrupt. I could not determine if there was an easy way to recover it. I do not have a backup that I can use. I've never had a file simply corrupt
The macro itself works fine, which to me signals that the file isn't actually corrupt.
How can I recover a file I deleted? I looked in the Recycle Bin and do not see it.

It's on my USB Drive. I've tried copying it to my HD so I can play with a copy, but no dice. When I try that, I get another error message, : Cannot copy Filename.xls. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. I've tried the various fixed suggested in the excel help files to no avail. I did a search on the forum, but didn't find anything that seemed to apply or help me. The computer I'm trying to open it on has Office 2003, the one I most recently worked on the file on has office XP. Not sure if this was a source of the problem. Doesn't seem like it should be. Hasn't been in the past. I'm not even getting to the dialogue box asking for my password yet.
One of my excel files has refused to open and i think it is corrupted. The error message is; Excel cannot open because the file format or extension is not valid .Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file.
How do i repair and recover all the data in the excel file.
My workbook took my 3 three years to build. The current copy has become corrupt. Although I have previous copies that are okay, I would like to know if there is a way to recover from this given that i would, otherwise, lose about 4 days of work.

All users are on Excel 2010, however the file originally was created in Excel 2003. The File Extension Was .xls as was the attachment.
First time I sent the email this year it came through corrupt. No changes had taken place in the workbooks or the code.
I have now updated the spreadsheet and saved it as a .xlsm
I have also updated the code so the attachments are .xlsx
The email attachments are always corrupt.
Code:
Sub copy2()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim fname As String 'filename
Sheets(Array("To Order", "WO To Chase", "PO To Chase", "Contact", "WO Report")).Copy
fname = Year(Date) & " " & Month(Date) & Day(Date) & " Chase & Order" 'filename!!

where the corruption might come from? Its not via the email as if I go to the saved file its corrupt as well.
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

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.

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...

Is it possible to write vba code that will generate a text file with ALL changes that were made to an excel file. Ex. If Cell A17 = "Monday, June 4, 2012" and a user updates Cell A17 to "N/A", I would like to know what the value was before and after the udpate was made.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have numerous spreadsheets that I need to open and unhide a sheet, that has XML data stored in cell A1. What I need to do is copy that data in cell A1 and paste it into a text document and save that as an XML file saved as the XLS workbook name with a date stamp.
I'm running into many issues, the main issue is the saving as current file name, and the formatting of the text/XML file.
Here is my current code, which doesn't reference the current file name and is just very generic. Once I get the saving as file-name correct and the formatting of the xml file correct, I will work on it a bit more.
