I have several .mp3 files in a directory that I'd like to rename based on a list.
Currently I have a sheet with two columns starting at "A2" and "B2"
Column A contains the file path and old name (without extension) ie: C:RenameFromListOldName_01
Column B contains the file path and new name (without extension) ie: C:RenameFromListNewName_01
I've modified the code below (obtained here on these forums) to work with mp3 files, which renames them, but it also corrupts my files.
VB:
Sub Rename_Files_from_List()
Dim oFiles As Range, fPath As String
Set oFiles = Range("A2", Range("A65536").End(xlUp))
fPath = Range("D2").Value
I regularly receive many files that require renaming. Column A contains the current name and column B contains the desired name. Could anyone tell me how to use these lists to rename the files?
I have a sheet with two columns; Column "A" has a list of existing filepaths of jpeg files that I would like to rename to the value in Column "B" in the same row. Is it possible for VBA to open each picture file and rename? Or open the parent folder and rename from there?
Can a macro rename Excel files based on a cell's contents? The problem maybe that I download these files en masse from a website and they all have 54-character long randomly generated filenames which I can rename by selecting all and then use the rename function to get a series of filenames like a, a(2), a(3), ... but I would rather have the files renamed based on the text that exists in cell B1 which is the title of the report. I also read somewhere that this kind of macro only works if the tabs have names like "Sheet 1"
I am looking to do is make a copy of a hidden sheet named "Date" and rename the sheet tab based on a list of dates that I have on another hidden worksheet named "Date Names" I like the code to enter as many sheets as needed. The dates are in order from A1 to A53 on the "Date Names "sheet .
I have a list of names in sheet1, starting with cell A3. I would like to copy sheet3, insert it after sheet3 and rename the sheet to correspond to the names in the list.
If i have 30 names I would like 30 sheets. If i add a name, I would like to repeat the copy, insert and rename steps for the extra names as i add them.
how I can loop through folders to select files starting with a certain word and copy all of them to a different folder and rename them. The folder structure is given below
Company 1(parent folder) North South East(sub folder) West(sub folder) Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec
In the above structure, the files are present inside each folders Jan, feb...Dec under the regions North, South East n west. note that I have to select files starting with "Sales" and copy them into a new folder(say results) and rename copied files as Sales1.xls, Sales2.xls etc. (Files are not present in the folder company1, north, south, east and east.)
I would like to open 3 excel files (with identical names) from 3 different mapped drives eg M,N and O. How can I use Excel VBA to rename these 3 files based on their original locations and save them in a folder in the C drive eg M_Filename,N_Filename and O_Filename.
I have following problem, discribed also in the link above.
I need a vba code to
- choose a folder instead of a file - find all the files in the chosen folder with name that starts with "sz" and end with "_d" - rename those files by replacing the first 5 numbers that follow sz with 5 different numbers that the user can choose e.g. through a user form.
I imagine the user to open the excel file, click on a form thats linked to a macro. The macro will call a userform and ask the user to choose the folder and type in a textbox the 5 new numbers.
I need the code that will be pasted behind the "OK" button in the userform.
Is this possible with vba?
Here a code i found in the link mentioned above, that i have applied and works - but needs to be modified to meet my needs: Sub GetImportFileName()
Dim Filt As String Dim FilterIndex As Integer Dim Title As String Dim FileName As Variant Dim newname As String
In a folder I have several text files (each text file is a customer statement) I get the files from the computer dept named randomly, I need to rename each File to its customer ID number, each ID consists of 15 characters (including the dash characters) and is found on the 3rd row of the file (3rd row , skip one character And count 15 characters ex : 0010-902514-422)
I found a code that renames the text files incrementally (1,2,3…..). I need to modify the code so that instead of renaming the files that way I rename them by their ID number (get the ID of each file while looping then rename It by that ID) One more thing, can I get the ID then skip 44 characters and attach the following 14 characters to the ID (ex : 0010-902514-422- Lebanese Pound). ttached is a folder containing an excel file with the code and 2 statements
Sub RenFile() Dim arrFiles As Variant Dim intCounter As Integer Dim datFile As Date Dim strFile As String, strPath As String strPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path arrFiles = FileArray(strPath, "*.txt") For intCounter = 1 To UBound(arrFiles) strFile = arrFiles(intCounter) Name strPath & strFile As strPath & intCounter & ".txt" Next intCounter End Sub
Private Function FileArray(strPath As String, strPattern As String) Dim arrDatabase() Dim intCounter As Integer.............................
I have excel files in a folder, I need a macro to loop through all files, rename them and save them in another folder. the file's name is available in a cell in each file, I am able to get the file name as text (I had to dig a little to get the text as it was between ""). Well I am stuck right now because the macro is doing what it's supposed to do for one excel file only and does not continue with the rest of the available files for a reason.
VB: Sub RenameAllFiles() Dim Bk As Variant Dim n As Integer Dim NewName As String
I'm using 2007 Excel and I have a list of 200 JPG files on column A which mirror actual file names of files I have located in C:photos.
My objective is to use Excel 2007 to batch rename all the files located in C:photos from the names listed in column "A" to the names listed in column "B" that I have created.
I am trying to rename a lot of files within 1 folder. The Spreadsheet Column A contains all the old file names within a folder and Column B has the new file name. (1)My code is below but I continue getting an error that the file isn't found. (2) I would like to start with row 2 because row 1 will contain the folder path as a result of another macro.
I have 400ish departmental budget files in a folder that I need to upload to a Sharepoint doc library. The files in the folder will have to exactly match the files we already have set up in sharepoint in order to upload them to the sharepoint site. As it stands now there is only one consistency between the sharepoint files and the budget files in the folder, which is the department number (which every file in both begins with).
I'm thinking some sort of macro will let me insert a sheet into each of the files in the budget folder, which would have a formula that pulls the department number from a certain sheet in the file, and produce the file name I want into a certain cell. Then I would like a macro that goes into each file and renames it based on that cell. I'd like to know if this is possible and if there may be a better way to do it.
I have used macro to ftped a couple of files to my desktop and save them in a folder but i have problems performing the following.
1) Count the number of files in this directory "C:Summary_Reports_from_VBA". Note that the number of files is not fixed every time.
2) Rename each files to .txt files. (intially files do not have any extension and we do not know the name of the file until it has been ftped over but all files will end with a term "sorts" eg renaming of "xxxsorts" to "xxxsorts.txt")
3) Save each renamed files in an Array such that i can "opentext" each file in an excel worksheet. So if there's multiple files, there will be multiple worksheets.
Essentially, the Engineering Dept has given me 550 AutoCad files I have dumped into a folder located in this path: C:/DrawingsDump
From these 550 DWG files I need to manually filter and separate 260 drawings that I actually need to use and move them to a folder located in this path: C:/DrawingsFiltered . This manual filtering process takes a lot of time and is tedious work and it has got to be done everytime Engineering changes drawings because they are not kind enough to provide me a delta list.
In Excel 2003 I have setup a list of all 260 drawings I am interested in and that I call my filtered list. Is it possible to create a script that will enable Excel 2003 to compare my filtered list to all of the files inside C:/DrawingsDump, and then copy only those files that match to my Excel Filtered list and then paste only matching files into the C:/DrawingsFiltered folder?
If Excel 2003 can't handle this, is there a third party application that will let me perform a file management function like this with minimum startup time?
For the last year I have been downloading cash register X1 and Z1 files onto an SD card. Each night's files (X1 & Z1) are stored in a new folder with the naming convention "RP + [DATE]", (EX: RP120910, [YYMMDD]). I have 265 folders! I need to go through each folder, select the Z1 file (I don't care about the X1, X2 or Z2 files) and rename each with the following naming convention: "Z1 + folder_name + .xls". For Example: Folder RP120910 contains the Z1 file named "Z1_T1729.ECR". After renaming, the file should be "Z1RP120910.xls". As the VBA code loops through each subfolder, selecting and renaming the Z1 files, I would like the new files to be placed into a new folder named "Z1Files". Note: All subfolders are currently in a directory named "RegisterFiles". I am using Excel 2010.
Sheet1 has the list of names (cells A2:A315). Sheet2 is hidden and has related formulas. Sheet7 is the sheet i want to copy
What i want to do: 1) I want to copy sheet7 for each name on the list 2) Rename each sheet with the next name on the list 3) In each of the copied sheets in cell B1=newsheetname
I have a spreadsheet that I enter daily totals into. The sheet is named by date. I take totals from a number of catagories from the prior day's sheet (ending totals) and enter them on the current sheet (beginning totals), then enter the current day's totals to wind up with new ending totals.
I want to generate a new sheet in the same workbook based on the date of the prior sheet, copy my formatting, and copy the data from the old ending sheet totals to the new sheet beginning totals.
I am looking for a macro to rename tabs based on information in A1 on each tab. The thing that is causing me issues is the cell A1 has a formula in it and it changes on a daily basis with days of the week but the tab only updates when i double click A1 and press enter.
1) Copies Sheet2 for each name on the list. Sheet1 has the list of names (cells A5:A10)
2) Renames each sheet with the next name on the list
3) In each of the copied sheets in cell A2=newsheetname
Sub Copy_Sheets() Dim i As Integer Dim wks As Worksheet Set wks = Sheets("Sheet1") For i = 5 To 10
[code].....
This works like a charm for this particular list. The thing is, I want to take this macro and apply it to a variable list. In one instance the list may be in cells A5:A10, and in another instance it may be in cells A5:A100. How can I update my macro so it looks for the next name in the list and stops when there is no longer a name.
Is it possible to write a macro that will rename a worksheet based on the value of the cell?
For instance, if cell a1 has the value Test, the worksheet should be named Test. If I change the value of the cell to say Test 1, the worksheet should automatically rename itself to Test 1.
Say you have a userform with 10 TextBoxes, let’s call them TxtN1…TxtN10 and your workbook has 10 sheets, say “Sheet1”…”Sheet10”. Now if one wants to code a procedure to rename those worksheets when the user hits a command button it’s simple enough.
Sub Rename_click() For i = 1 To 10 With Sheets(“Sheet” & i ) . name = TxtN & i End With Next i End Sub
But now if the user then changes the textboxes TxtN1…TxtN10 to a set of new strings it’s obvious that the following coding segment will not work:
For i = 1 To 10 With Sheets(TxtN & i) .name = TxtN & i End With Next i
It goes without saying that the program will try to select the worksheets with the new name (and they obviously don’t exist yet)…
