I have about 85 files that I need to rename. These files contain data concerning delivery and quality data of each of our suppliers...1 file per supplier.
Current File Name: SupplierA 2012.xlsx
New File Name: Supplier A 2013.xlsx
Is there a way to do mass rename the files..
and that leads to my second question...each of these files contain vlookups to 2012 data...which is contained in the a file with 2012 in the file name. I need to replace source data file (i.e. 2012 Index) with the new file containing the 2013 data (i.e 2013 Index). Is there a way to replace that source data across 85 or so files using some time of mass find and repalce? All the cell references remain the same
I'm working on an excel report that handles reporting for a large number of people. Another person at work is doing the VBZ coding, and I'm doing the formulas that aggregates the data. which has led to an interesting problem whenever I use a vlookup. I copied the sheets with the formulas from the test document I had been working on to an updated version. And all the vlookups automatically adjusted themselves to reference the document they had been created in. I had also moved over the tabs they were supposed to reference, but they keep looking at the old document. I spent an hour removing the references last night, but I don't want to do it again when I get the final product.
How to get excel to copy a formula EXACTLY as written, and not att in the name of the original document?
It should say =VLOOKUP($A438,totals!$A$1:$AH$63,32,FALSE)
and instead it says =VLOOKUP($A438,'[reporting formulas.xlsx]totals'!$A$1:$AH$63,32,FALSE)
I have a number of statements within the Sheet Event Code (Excel 2007). Three times lately I have added a column and had to go back into the code and find all of the references that needed changing to reflect the new column.
I have been working on this for a couple of days and even tried EE, but to no success.
I have read that Defined Names / Constants should be used as often as possible, but even trying that, the VBA code errors out or "hangs up". Even within Bill Jalen's book (VBA and Macros 2007), there is nothing that addresses this, especially using Intersect.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Dim rng As Range
On Error GoTo mEnd Set rng = Sheets("Log").[F14:F10000] If Not Intersect(rng, Target) Is Nothing Then If Target = "" Then With Sheets("Log")
The pictures' filenames are #s which are located in Column A of the spreadsheet. I would like to be able to have excel take the picture name, lookup which Row it is and then add the information from Column B, C, D and E into the filename. It would need to do it for all the pictures located in the folder.
I need to rename a large number of .pdf files. I have a list of the current file names in column A and the desired file names in column B.
Data in excel sheet1:
Current NameDesired Name AAA-BBB-001.PDFAAA-BBB-001-Description.PDF AAA-BBB-002.PDFAAA-BBB-002-Description.PDF AAA-BBB-003.PDFAAA-BBB-003-Description.PDF AAA-BBB-004.PDFAAA-BBB-004-Description.PDF AAA-BBB-005.PDFAAA-BBB-005-Description.PDF
I keep them in the destination folder below:

I prefer to use an excel macro since I can't install any additional software on my work computer.
I have several (around 35) CSV files that I download regulary. Is there a quick way to rename all the CSV files in a given folder based on adding "Update_" to each file name.
E.g Say two of the orginal files are called:
Monday.csv Tuesday.csv
I'd like to run some kind of macro to rename them to:
Every week I get a folder full of files and I have to rename them with a week ending date...Below is what I hacked together, but it's not working...
Sub Rename()
Dim OldName, NewName, npath As String weekendingdate = InputBox("What is W/E Date??") npath = "J:Test*.pdf" While Smith "" OldName = Smith: NewName = Smith & weekendingdate Name OldName As NewName Wend
I have a system that creates text files once a day in a set folder. I want to have a VBA script that will combine all text files in the folder (C:Daily Folder) into one text file (Full.txt) using a simple cut/paste addition, i.e., the lines from the second file are added after the lines from the first, the lines of the third after those, etc. The order does not matter.
I know there are other threads about combining text files and I'm sure I can figure that out if need be, but the problem is the system creates these files by adding .XXX to the name, with XXX being the file order number. So after 4 days, I have four files named K2500.001, K2500.002, K2500.003, and K2500.004. Windows reads these as being four different file types (.001, .002, .003, and .004). If you click on one of the files, Windows prompts you to associate it with an application. I've tried shell commands such as ren *.* *.txt , but the use of a "." in the file name seems to be a problem. Is there a way to change all "." to "-"? I've tried some PowerShell scripts there that haven't worked. I'd like a VBA solution because I don't know my butt from a hole in the ground when it comes to shell programming and so that it can be added to my VBA script for the Full.txt file.
Maybe the files don't need to be renamed at all--like I said, the end goal is the Full.txt file in C:Daily Folder that contains all the lines from the daily text files.
Hope i can get some help here as my vba experience is extremely limited. I'm trying to run a macro from a spreadsheet that will go down a list of file names that i have entered in a worksheet where the macro resides and open those spreadsheets and rename the worksheets in each file according to a list of names that i have entered in the 10 columns next to the file name. It's easier to explain with the layout of my macro spreadsheet: ....
I have written a procedure that renames excel files within a folder based on certain words being in the title. It works for the files in the first lot of subfolders but I am trying to work out how to get it to rename all files in all subfolders regardless of the level.
I've seen similar things done using recursive subs but I have been trying to convert some of the sample codes I've found online to fit my situation and am not having much luck.
how to manipulate my code into something like a recursive procedure or anything else that will do what I want.
I am running a research experiment in triplicate. Upon generation of data for all three, I create an averaged value of the three. I then take this value and do more calculations with it on a separate sheet. I wanted to know if there was a way in which I could quickly generate formulas based on a changing reference cell.
Example Data:
V1A 28 V2A 26 v3A 30 AvA 28
V1B 20 V2B 22 V3B 18 AvB 20
Vxy represents the value of y sample, x triplicate. V1A being sample A, first triplicate. AvX is the average of the three values.
I want to be able to generate a formula that references AvA which can be applied to the cell immediately below to reference AvB. A simple example would be to square the average.
I am trying to do a simple copy and paste of number of cells A42:H76 to another sheet (in the same workbook) and have all the references stay when pasting to the new sheet. Instead when I paste it I get #Ref and the cell formulas no longer point to the right cell (they are all off by the same number because I did not paste the cells on the same row/column on the new sheet). Also, they don't refer to the older sheet where I want them to refer to.
Now what I want to be able to do is when I add a new row to worksheet 1, in this case row 3, then the references in worksheet 2 either to automatically (or manually do it in one simple go) increase by one and now refer to the new row. So the references now become =A3, =B3, =C3 etc.
I want to copy =d8*k10 into several cells, but the references keep changing. I've tried several things that I've found on the internet, but nothing seems to work and the I can't seem to copy to a columnof cells.
I have a large workbook with LOTS of large formulas. However they dont contain $ characters before the ranges as I haven't needed to manipulate them til now. Now I am changing the sheet and I cant seem to move or copy these cells without the ranges whithin the formulas changing! Is there a way to do this? If not is there a way in VBA that I can check through selected cellls and enter a $ before all the ranges?
I have one sheet with all the formulas for the entire workbook and would like to copy and paste the formulas from Sheet 1 to Sheet 2...Sheet 1 to Sheet 3 etc. without changing the cell referening in the original formula. I am not too sure how .formula works.
Sub CopyAndPaste() ' To copy formulas from Summary sheet to their respective sheets
With Worksheets("Summary") .Range("R3").Copy Worksheets("2").Range("X3").Formula = Worksheets("Summary").Range("R3")
I have formulas in wksheet #1 going down 20 columns (they are all the same formulas). On wksheet #2, I need to understand how to switch all column references in only one column to another (from wksheet #1) to show different sums. Clear as mud? The way I want to do this is by having one cell on wksheet #2 where I change a number from 1 to 20. This in essence would be the column heading in wksheet #1.
Example: *There are more formulas but for the purpose here I'll use 3 for each Wksheet
In wksheet #1 I have C24 is =SUM(C14*C15,C16*C17,C18*C19,C20*C21,C22*C23)*12 C55 is =IF(B66=0,"",C7/B66) C56 is =IF(C11=0,"",C7/C11)
In wksheet #2 I have .......................................
The problem is that when the data on sheet 2 gets updated and more lines added, the computer changes my formula for the cell on sheet 1 as well. the new formula will change to
I'm working in a workbook with several sheets, the first two collums of each sheet are =to the first sheet. some times I need to insert a line, but when I did that, I need to type again all formulas or drag the previous ones, and format again the cells. is there another way to do this?
What I have is basically a form on the main sheet. Here other users can add and/or delete information in a form. I refer to the information in another sheet with formulas.
Now everything was great when using protections/ validations, to the where they fill in the information, but the problem occur when they are allowed to delete and remove rows.
This is something that I want to allow them, even though I do realise that this is something that many advice against it.
To begin with I found the post about changing relative references to absolute references (ConvertFormula). Still the formulas changes when rows are added or deleted and I would have to redo all formulas and run the macro again. I then found posts advicing on the use of the INDIRECT forumla. This formula was exactly what I needed as the formulas would not alter when rows were added/deleted. Now the problem is a combination of the use of INDIRECT and the the ConvertFormula. Now if I write a formula, for example:
=INDIRECT("'Sheet1'A1")
Then when I try to expand the formula over to the rest of the cells, then the references stay pointing at A1, when I want them to continue pointing at A2, A3, etc...
Now what I am looking for is some way to tell all my formulas, after expanding the original formula, that they should all have the INDIRECT function. If it was possible it would be great if you could implement it in the same way as with the absolute reference, for example:
For i = 1 To MyRange.Areas.Count MyRange.Areas(i) = Application.ConvertFormula(MyRange.Areas(i).Formula, xlA1, xlA1, xlIndirect) Next i
Now the above code sample does not work of course, as there should be xlAbsolute instead of xlIndirect, but I hope you understand my intention. Do anyone have the answer to my problem? Is there an easy way to implement the INDIRECT function into a big amount of formulas?
I'm working in Excel 2010. I'm trying to create a dynamic range, using the OFFSET function. I've got it working beautifully but as soon as I save it and close the Name Manager the range stops working. When I go back into Name Manager I find all the cell references have changed (from C1:C600 to C1048572:C595 - or some other strange range).
P.S. What it's doing isn't so important as when the cell references are right it works. But just for full info: It's an OFFSET function, starting at A1. It will look at a list of companies and use a Match function to find out how many rows to offset (based on where the first instance of a particular company. And it uses the COUNTIF to make the range the same number of rows as there are entries for that company.
I am trying to accomplish a task that uses the VLOOKUP function to retrieve data from another worksheet. The problem I am having is that it will only return one row of data.
In the formula below, there are multiple rows that contain the $C$4 reference. I would love to figure out how to return all the rows that contain that C$4$ reference.
=VLOOKUP($C$4,'Hot Zone Customers'!$C$2:T561,14,0)
I want to match the value from Sheet3!FundID to Sheet1!classID and Add Corrospinding Sheet3!Fname value to Sheet2(Fname). I tried using VLOOKUP, MATCH & INDEX but somehow not getting the correct formula.
In trying to construct a Vlookup formula that references a table in another workbook, I find that when I double click on the tab in the source workbook to insert the name, and then complete the formula with the column reference and a False statement, I keep getting an “Invalid” statement in the fx wizard when I try to solve this problem. By entering the name range by typing, I get a “#NAME?” error when I go to the wizard to see what I’ve done wrong.
This issue was addressed in the link that I searched for in the old help files and submit in this question. It seems that the issue was never resolved in that posting and I can’t figure out how to resolve this matter.
I have a question dealing with a variable column and cell reference I'm using. To make it simple here's what I have done. On the FRUIT tab I have the following table in location BU132 - BV161
Name Column Apples A Pears B Corn 'VEGGIE'!A Peas 'VEGGIE'!B
I'm using the following formula to get the location of a cell on both the FRUIT and VEGGIE tab that has the value.
{where CH61-CH100 contains fruits or vegetables and where CN61 is a table that has the column reference which goes from 1 to 40)
This formula works great as long as the item is on the FRUIT tab. I can just drag the formula down the entire column and get my values for all the FRUITS listed in CH61-CH100. But, it doesn't work for any items in CH which are on the VEGGIE Tab. What syntax do I need to use in the cell next to Corn and Peas above to get this to work right?
I have a spreadsheet (Need Data.xls) that needs to be filled out with a couple columns of data.
This data lays within 338 spreadsheets which have many items and may only have 2, or 3, or 50 that belong on my Need Data.xls spreadsheet.
I have a tab in Need Data.xls named "DIR" which has a list of 336 excel files that need to vlookup'd into.(not a separate file) They're all setup with this format:
