Scan Through Multiple Files
Jun 23, 2009
I send out 300 or so spreadsheets. The spreadsheet contains lines of products that recipients have on hire. Column L allows to the user to put YES or NO on each line, to state whether it is correct or not. The user then sends this sheet back.
The difficult part for me is I have to open each spreadsheet, and deal with all the instances of NO in column L. It takes almost a day to go through every spreadsheet.
Is it at all possible to have some sort of macro, VBA sript or access front page, that allows me to search all instances of 'NO' in all the spreadsheets which are in 1 designated folder?
Hopefully I am making sense in what Im after.. ideally I'd need a button on a spreadsheet that I click to give me all rows that contain NO in column L.
All the file names will be constant each week. (so each file name will be 01 - Hire List.xls, 02-Hire List.xls, 03-Hire List.xls etc etc).

I am trying to scan through all files within a directory and all subdirectories to find files where the name begins with certain characters. Below is code that will accomplish this for a certain directory, but I do not know how to look through the subdirectories within the specified directory. So, the issues are:
1. How do I loop through each subdirectory within a specified directory?
2. I am trying to return the file name, path name (separate from the file name), and modified date. I can return the name. I can return the path, but it includes the name. Is there a way to return just the path?
3. What is the code to return the modified date of the file?

Bar codes would contain a part number and a quantity.
822808 / 1604 pcs
1st question: I have scanned them into excel, but how does the next scan get into the next cell? It is currently putting multiple scans into the same cell.
2nd question: Can the data be broken up into separate columns? (e.g. Column A = "Part Number", column B = "QTY") I know about text to columns, but I think I have to get the format right?)

I use a scanner that initiates a f2 command and trips my macro. I would like to use multiple scanners using a 8 port hub but I am having trouble with a scanner starting my macro and another scanner dumping data into my macro before the first one is finished. This is dropping scanned data into my macros. Is there a way to prevent the scan from accepting data until the macro has completed its cycle.

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 have a excel file that I enter information into. I have code that saves the files to a certain folder with the name, date, and time stamp for the file name. At the end of the day I might have 3 to 15 excel files I have created that day and I would like to take information from certain cells (examle: L3, B6, B7, B8, G8, and so on) and create a txt file with all of the information in it.
Example:
12/20/2007
Your Name
123 Somewhere St.
Here, OH 45111
Home Visit
12/20/2007
Someone Else
345 Anywhere St.
There, OH 45211
Hospital Visit

I have about 100 Excel files in one folder that need to be saved as text files. They can keep the same name, but simply need to be converted to text files. I'd like to use VBA for this and I can't find examples that do exactly that...or ones that my limited knowledge can handle.
Excel files exist in C:Source and ALL of them should be saved as text files in C:Destination. Maybe there is an easier way, but I thought for sure there was a routine I could use.

The issue is to find the address (like A1) to the cell that contain specific text string?
I import text from a web page and I want to calculate some numbers from this information. All the information is spread out in 10-15 columns and 20-25 rows, and the specific value I'm looking for is imported into different rows as the dynamic web page changes, but the column is always the same.
The cell next to the left side of my wanted cell always contain the same text, so I thought I could search or scan the area A1 to P25 for this text and then extract the value of the cell on its right hand.

I can't figure out the specific way to write a Do Until where it exits once there is no more text in any further rows.
Basically scan the rows and find the last remaining row. If there is no data after 20 rows then exit the loop.
This is a sample.
A
B
C
D
F
G
H
I
J
I would want it to understand that there is no information after "J" and to exit the loop.

i've created a spreadsheet that will take in scanned files (from a barcode), log into our system, update the files based on certain criteria, then take information from the file and place it in another worksheet for inventory purposes.
what i'm asking is... is there a way i can have excel drop to the next row each time i scan in each file?
i've noticed the output of the scanner is formatted like this: +000000
i've tried using the sendkeys method with the plus sign, but it always moves down THEN enters in the numbers. i'm not sure if there is a way with the Len function... or some variation of that.
i'm also thinking if i could maybe find the .dll for the scanner, maybe i could set up a reference to it, and have it do something like "afterbarcodescan.activecell.offset(1,0).activate".

I have some code that scans each worksheet in a workbook for sheetnames beginning with 'Model'... if the worksheet name matches, it prints only the used pages on that sheet (see code below).
Dim Ws As Worksheet
For Each Ws In Worksheets
If Left(Ws.Name, 5) = "Model" Then
If Ws.Range("A46").Value = "Page 1-1" Then
Ws.PrintOut From:=1, To:=1
ElseIf Ws.Range("A46").Value = "Page 1-2" Then
Ws.PrintOut From:=1, To:=2
End If
End If
Next Ws
This code works... but I would like it to scan the workbook in reverse order...
ie. print from the last matching worksheet first.

I want a formula to scan column B for a given word. One version of the formula will look for the word "ACAD", the other "GOV". If it shows ACAD anywhere in column B, I want to put ACAD in column D.

I've been using a nice colorful spreadsheet to use to schedule rooms for an organization. Visually it has worked out well but now I need to automatically generate a 'report' using that data. So...
I want to scan each row of a table and create another table with that data transformed.
That is, scan each row and whenever I find any text in a cell I want to return that text (the room being used) as well as the row and column header information (who is starting to use that room and on what date). I've attached a jpeg to show the example.
Ideally, when I scan the row and find text to return the headers I'd like the row scan to also find when the fill color changes and return that column header, too as that that would be the date that the room stops being used.

Can I make the cursor use only 2 columns? In other words, I know that when I scan barcode data into A1, I have the cursor automatically move to B1. BUT, once I've scanned data into B1, how do I make the cursor automatically move to A2?

I have one main Excel file with information (in example file - columns A & B). I want to create 4 other Excel files that will draw from the main one (in example file - columns D, F, H, & J). I want the information in Excel file A, B, C, and D to be continuous information that matches the main file. For example, the letter A matches up with numbers 1,3,4,10,11,13,15,17, and 19 in the main file. When I open Excel file A, I want a continuous list of these numbers. And I want this for all 4 Excel files which draw from the main one.

I need to take these individual files and have certain cells from each in certain cells of a new workbook for example...
file 12-2-2013(1)... I need cell C3 from that file to go to cell A2(and this will be the same for all the other files... 12-2-2013(2) cell C3 needs to be in A3 etc etc etc.. this is the sale date)
file 12-2-2013(1)... I need cell a15 and b15(they are both "stretched out" cells) to be put in C3 of the new workbook and so on.

I need to create a dynamic template for importing data from multiple .txt files to my workbook on a daily basis.
I recorded the macro for importing ONE txt files and starting to deveop it into looping through multiple txt files and sheets but to no avail.
1) Currently I have 4 named ranges
FileLocation = Location of my source file
FileName = All the file names of my txt files
SheetDestination = The sheet to be paste for each txt file (further explaination below)
FileFormat = .txt (for VBA purpose)
2) The macro recorded was in "ActiveSheet", thus I thought of looping through each sheet (put the activate code at the first line) for the codes to run.
3) ColA ColB
1SP.txt
2IND.txt
3US.txt
4
5
6
Column A is my SheetDestination, while Column B is the respective filename for source txt file. My final intended result would be simply macthing sheet 1 against SP, sheet 2 against IND, sheet 3 against US... so on and so forth....

I have a question about CSV files...I have to import about 80 csv files into excel as separate sheets in the same workbook. I can only get it to import into its own workbook. Is there a way to import all of them into the same workbook all at once?
Also, I am currently using csv files, but if what I want done can be done with a different file type, it doesn't matter.

I'm currently using this script to download over 400 txt files which are needed for a project here at work. It works great, however, it will download the ftp files in question (which it gets a list of from another tab) in order. I would like a way to either download all 400 ato nce, or in a batch of 50 or even 100. As it is, the procedure takes around 70 mins to complete. I was hoping of a way to speed it up.
Here is the script I am using.
VB:
Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long
Public Function DownloadFile(URL As String, LocalFilename As String) As Boolean
Dim lngRetVal As Long
lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFile(0, URL, LocalFilename, 0, 0)
[Code] ......

I have part of macro to import a txt file into excel but it is not working as it should. It is giving me a message "This file is not a recognizable format" but its just a normal txt file. Also after it gives me this warning it will open in excel and with every new txt file it gives me this warning and after it opens it.
The code I am using is:
Sub su()
Dim oWbk As Workbook
Dim sFil As String
Dim sPath As String
sPath = "C:Historical" 'location of files
ChDir sPath
sFil = Dir("*.txt") 'change or add formats
Do While sFil "" 'will start LOOP until all files in folder sPath have been looped through Set oWbk = Workbooks.Open(sPath & "" & sFil) 'opens the file
Workbooks.OpenText (sPath & "" & sFil), Comma:=True, DataType:=xlDelimited
' do something
sFil = Dir
Loop ' End of LOOP
End Sub
In this line it gives me Runtime error 1004 Method 'Opentext' of object workbook failed:
Workbooks.OpenText (sPath & "" & sFil), Comma:=True, DataType:=xlDelimited

I need to import about 1500 HTML file into a DB (SQL Server). But (here is the big problem), I only need to import some data of each HTML file (always the same line/variable).
So I thought using Excel as you can say with part of the HTML file you want to import. It works great.
But I did it with one file. Is there a way you can select a whole directory and it does it for you?
