Refer Folder/Filename In VBA Code Through Named Cell Reference
Oct 31, 2008
I have the following codes in which I am to refer a file and folder to do some further processes.
myfilename = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntrymyfile1.xls"
folderPath = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntry"
I want to enter these two paths in a sheet in my excel report file (For example, I am running the report from Report1.xls, in which there is a sheet name "Filepaths". In this,
in B5, I would like to enter the Filepath (B5 named as "FILEPATH")
in B6, I would like to enter the Folderpath (B6 named as "FOLDERPATH")
So that, if I am copying the folder to another area, I no need to change the code every time in the VBA editor. I can do changes in these cells and it will be taken as the path to run the code further.
I'm using this macro to import txt files into excel.
Code: Sub Bring_Articles_Into_The_File() Dim sPath As String Dim iRow As Long Dim strString As String
[Code]....
Id like to replace the folder URL string ("C:Articles") and refer it to the cell "E5" instead. (So I don't have to open the code and change the folder every time)
I would like excel to create the folder C:/Bill if it doesn't already exist when I click save/save as option and save the workbook in it with a filename that is a combination of text/values in cells A1 and A2 on Sheet1. Better if the save as dialog box appears with this option selected so that I have to just click Save in the save as dialog box to save it in "C:/Bill".
I'm trying to use the code below to paste special my first sheet to remove the formulas, then delete all other worksheets then save as a reference number (which is linked to the worksheet im saving) but I also need it to save in a specific folder.
I want to use a value in one cell as a row designation, and a value in another cell as a column designation. Ultimately, the values will be text which will refer to row and column headers. What formula would allow me to do this? example:
A1 contains B B1 contains 2 B2 contains "tribbles"
This seems really basic, but I can't seem to find it...
Using Visual Basic, if I have a named range, lets say like "NAMEDRANGE", how can I refer to cells in that range by their position in the range? For example, if I want to refer to the cell in the 2nd row and 3rd column of the range.
Also is their an easy way to refer to the first(top-left) cell in a named range?
I have the following formula in cell L51 of all sheets calculating the volume depending on the monthly index that is chosen from the drop down menu in a particular sheet. =If(MIndex=0, SUM(D33:L50),If(MIndex=1,SUM(D34:L50),If(MIndex=2,SUM(D35:L50), 0))). I am getting the following message and I do not understand what it is about.
Microsoft Office Excel cannot calculate a formula. Cell references in the formula refer to the formula's result, creating a circular reference. Try one of the following
I am trying to use a cell reference to have excel automatically Save a worksheet using a cell reference as the workbook name. When I step through the code and use the immediate window I get the correct name for the file (fname in this case) but as soon as Excel tries to save the file, I get an error.
Here is the code I am using:
fname = Sheet3.Range("I1").Value ChDir "S:Op CostsBudget 2013Data" MsgBox "The actice file will be saved as " & fname ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:= _ "S:Op CostsBudget 2013Data" & fname & ".xlsm", FileFormat:= _ xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
I know I've asked before but I can neither find my previous question or the answer. So, once again.... is it possible to refer to a named range in a CSE array formula? I know how I would type a formula that way -- but I would be happy to see an example.
Most importantly, will it always work? Or are there pitfalls and dangers?
I've got a problem referring to a named range in another worksheet.
Private Sub test() Dim var_StartWeek As String ' 0740 This is the value I make a lookup for Dim var StartWeekNr As Integer ' 40 and get this as a result
'*** Here is the named range in another worksheet (It doesn't work) Set rng = ActiveWorkbook.Names("WeekData2").RefersToRange var_StartWeekNr = WorksheetFunction.HLookup(var_StartWeek, Range("rng.Value"), 4) ' I'm doing something wrong here...
'*** If I have the named range in the same worksheeet it works fine 'var_StartWeekNr = WorksheetFunction.HLookup(var_StartWeek, ActiveSheet.Range("WeekData"), 4)
I put all my named ranges in a seperate worksheet in the workbook.
On a different sheet I have all my data with references to the named ranges. But what it gives me is the cell information from the sheet on which the named range is located and not on the worksheet where I actually need the calculations to be done.
How can I make the named range refer to the cells in the worksheet in which it sits?
Worksheet 1 --------------- 1 2 3 4
Worksheet 2 -------------- I name the function Red apples RedApples =CONCATENATE($A1&"Red Apples")
Question #1 How do I make the name reference in worksheet 2 refer to the cells located in the worksheet in which i use it. In other words, when I use RedApples in Worksheet 3, it gives me what is sitting in A1 in worksheet 2 instead of in A1 on Worksheet 1.
Question #2 How do I make the name reference in Worksheet 3 keep stepping down along Column A in Worksheet 1?
I have created a separate SAVE button that when the user hits that button, it saves the file in a network drive using the current date as part of the save-file name. Ie: Sheet20070408.xls, Sheet20070409.xls, Sheet20070410.xls, and Sheet20070411.xls.
I am currently working out all the "idiot proof" safety features. My code looks something like this:
Why am I saving it twice? When the user clicks SAVE, I want to save over the copy of the current sheet they use, even if they save it on their desktop, and then save it to the network drive. This way, if they keep a second copy in an easy to find location, it will save the data to that sheet as well. Just in case they forget to save on the current sheet. I need to be sure each copy of the file has the most up-to-date information, as well as save a copy for retention.
My question is this: Can I search a folder for an existing file name? If the user goes into the network drive to open an old file for retention and they click SAVE, I don't want to accidentally overwrite a file in the retention folder.
Sorry that I'm very new in Excel VBA coder. And, for this topic, I don't even know how to start. I want to make a MS Excel database of a numerous files. This database must be consist of Filename, Location, and it's attribute (let's say updated date, size, hidden status)
where Ship_30 name references the following- ='sheet 1'!$C$20:$C$38
The value of 20 is static, the value of 38 is dynamic. Each new time period adds another value (i.e. 39,40,41)
Having to edit each name range reference in the name manager is not acceptable since there is potentially over 30 to edit each month.
I would like to edit a cell which would have contained the value 38 (or C38) with a new value of 39 (or C39) so the range reference would be updated with the new value.
The goal would be to have a couple of rows with the following that could be edited with new values
I'm working with a very complex financial workbook with over 3,000 named ranges and would like code to replace the named ranges with the cell references and display it in a message box so the user can easily trace the references without removing the named ranges from the formula. There is a lot of code with the named ranges, so actually converting them to cell references is out of the question.
I found this code, but obviously it physically replaces the range names in the cell. Hopefully it can be converted to display it in a text box.
Code: Sub FixReferencesToCellNames() Dim c As Range, n As Name For Each c In Range("A1:IV65536").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas)
[Code]....
What I am looking for is that a user select a cell that they want to see the references, run the code to see the cell references for that particular cell in a message box.
Now iam Working in excel 2003, I got a Requirement that, After Downloading datas From SAP, It Directly Stored in Excel Sheet , Using tht Sheet1, I need to rename all the Filenames at a time, Is It possible, Any code is there to rename,
For Example,
From SAP to Excel Sheet Datas are Like this in Sheet1,
I have run into a problem in a project where I know what the folder root of the file I would like to import into excel is, but I do not know the file name.
I would like to open a dialogue open where I can select the file I wish to import from the known root supplied and retain the file name as a string.
All solution I have read assume the full file root is know or file name is known but root is unknown
I am building an interactive sheet to profile a number of divisions based on a summary sheet of about 1200 rows and 90 columns of profiling criteria
I have attached an example but essentially:
1. I would like to be able to select from a list a value which would also be a named range title 2. Have the range information transposed into a row
What works: 1. I can transpose the range information when I use the following formula I used OFFSET(Governance,COLUMN()-MIN(COLUMN(HGovernance)),0)
The problem: I cant get it to use a cell reference (i.e. When I select Governance out of a Drop down list of Finance, HR, Governance etc). Having to type in "Governance" to bring back governance range information is fine, but not great when I am trying to profile the Finance or HR division as it then becomes too manual.
I'm working on a spreadsheet that will access two weeks worth of data at a time. Is it possible to have the filename reference contain a variable or a link to another cell in it?
I have an Excel VBA Macro for creating/logging drawing numbers. Each drawing belongs to a job number. Each job number has a folder name containing the job number followed by a description (ie 999999 - bracket assembly) for storing drawing pdf's. The job number is only known as a 6 figure number in the drawing creation process BUT for the PDF saving process it is a string value...as my example above
I have to change my process by pre-creating the Job Number folder, then have the macro look for the appropriate folder by searching the parent folder for a sub folder containing the job number (always the first 6 figures).
I want to insert in my macro some code that searches...
The parent folder for a folder containing the job number. The macro value for the parent folder is P:engineeringdrawings (this never changes). the macro value for the job number is iOpenair (it's an entry that is entered as start the macro). Imagine the value for the job number is "999999"...so the search would be for "999999*.*" The code needs to search the parent folder, find the folder name that begins with a six digit number. Capture the complete name of the folder and store that name as a Dim value that I can call up elsewhere in my macro.
I want it to return the subfolders from a named folder, but only the folder name, right now it returns the whole path. So my code has to then text to column that path, then delete the columns I don't need. Is there a way to shorten this? Here is my code so far:
'Lists Folders' Worksheets(1).Range("A3:A300").Value = ClearContents Worksheets(1).Activate Dim row As Integer Dim SearchFolders As Variant row = 3 LookInTheFolder = "I:projects2Koch58MY8900PROCESS2013 Work (Phase 3)DIH_SulfolaneEquipment"
I want a Macro to take a sheet (same named sheet) from several workbooks in one folder into a new workbook and paste each in one sheet in this new workbook. i want to rename the sheets in the new workbook based on the value in cell D2 ( i can manage that
How can i manage that by simple opening the folder or do i need to open all those workbook manually for that to be done.
Anyone up for getting me started on code to open a file in a "dynamic" directory, specifically:
Where
Main directory is G:REPORTS The file name is "Pivot_xx-xx-xx.xls" The directory where the file is located is G:REPORTSxx-xx-xx xx-xx-xx is yesterday's date
I have several excel files in a folder, and they are named:
AA v.5 AA v.6 AA v.7 AA v.8 BB v.5 BB v.7 CC v.8 CC v.6
The "AA" and "BB" are names of who created it and v.5 are the week it was created.
What I would like to do is in an Excel file be able to choose to retrieve information about for example how man files with v.5 in its name.
OR information about all files with "BB v." in its name (to see all files created bye BB)
Or "BB v.4" (all files created bye BB in week 4) Or "BB v.4"+"BB v.5"+"CC v.6"
The reason for this is that I would like to be able to create statistics from this so that I can see how it has changed like in a graph. So that I can see the difference and compare how many files BB and CC have created and which week.
