Searching For File On All Drives

Jun 15, 2007

The Code below searches for a file and displays how many files by that name it found.

Sub Test()
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:"
.SearchSubFolders = True

.Filename = "Temp.txt"

If .Execute > 0 Then
MsgBox ("Success: " & .FoundFiles.Count)
Else
MsgBox ("Fail")
End If
End With
End Sub

However, Flashdrives are a common use among those that will use the code, such that I need the code to not only search the hard drive C: but all hard drives and flash drives. Using .Lookin = My Computer did not find the files stored on my Flash Drive.
It finds it using .Lookin = "K:" but I can not rely on my flash drive always being K:. It does not find it using .Lookin = "PumaFlash" (Name of flash drive)

I'm looking for one of two things: Code that will Search all hard drives and flash drives (optical drives can be included) at once Code that will Find path for all hard drives and Flash drives and then search them separately

Can I Open A File By Searching For First Six Characters?

Nov 26, 2008

I have a number of project files that are maintained on the network.

These files are named "XXXXXX Project Name.XLS".

XXXXXX is the project number. This numbers are unique, so there is only one file per number within the directory. Project names are mostly unique, but sometimes they could be same for a specific site.

We recieve financial data in excel file format from home office. These reports reference only the project numbers, not the name.

I have created an excel program that extracts project numbers and related financial data from the report [from home office].

I would like to create a button or check box next to each project number in my program and link it to the respective file on our network. Once I access the local file on the network I could copy the financial data in its right place.

The problem is opening the file based on project number only, while the file names contain Project Name as well.

So, can I look up a file by only searching for first six characters of the name?

Or can the Hyperlink function work with some sort of wildcard? I can write the formulas to create the hyperlink and then write a macro to look for that file, but I need to be able to find and open the file by looking up only the first six characters.

Searching For File Type And Copying Row

Jul 14, 2009

I have been asked to fix a macro that is supposed to search column B and find any cells ending with .mov. Any row fitting the criteria is to be copied to Sheet2. The file is a internet traffic log and we are trying to determine the number of downloads we have on our video files, which are all .mov format. Sheet1 can exceed 3000 rows.

Here's what I have so far:

Searching XML File - Get Error Number 9?

Dec 11, 2013

The sub i'm currently using does an instr search for a unique string in an xml file. This works fine but i'd like to speed up the search if possible because I have a large number of xml files to search. My problem is that i have very little experience in parsing xml.

I notice that if i load the xml file and look at the namespaces i see item(1) through about item(20) and the unique string is always contained in one of those items. Note that the number of items can be different for each xml file i load.

The xml file is loaded into an object i define as oInstance and i'd like to do something like:

Do
counter = counter+1

if oInstance.namespaces.item(counter) = uniquestring then[code]....

but now i get Err.Number 91

Macro To Map Drives

Nov 7, 2008

I have a issue at work where I can Map Drives but then when i reboot/log out the drives do not re-map. I have checked "Reconnect On Logon" but that does not work. I have called up IT and they just beat around the bush.

I am wondering, if there is a way for me to create a Macro to Map drives?
Also, for the macro to check if the drives are already mapped, if so then map it, if not then to skip mapping this drive.

I am hoping this can be made as convenient as:

X = C:Documents and SettingsPratikDesktopTest1

B = C:Documents and SettingsPratikDesktopData2

Where the X / B specify the drive letters.

Delete Rows In Txt Input File BEFORE Searching For Data

May 6, 2009

I read in a txt file with the code below. There's some kind of special character in the last 3 lines of the input file that makes the macro crash. I don't need anything in those 3 rows. How can I delete them before my Do Until loop?
-----
Sub Mytxt()
Dim Mytxt As String
Mytxt = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="EXCEL files (*.txt),*.txt", Title:="Open the Report file you need")

If Mytxt = "" Then Exit Sub
Workbooks.Open Filename:=Mytxt
Open Mytxt For Input As #1
i = 1
Do Until (EOF(1) = True)
Line Input #1, tempstr
Cells(i, 1) = Mid(tempstr, 23, 5)
Cells(i, 2) = Mid(tempstr, 25, 1)
Cells(i, 3) = Mid(tempstr, 33, 3)
i = i + 1
Loop
Close 1

Macro To Open Specific File By Searching Multiple Folders

Oct 11, 2013

I am trying to write a macro to open a specific file, but need to search multiple folders within folders to find it.

The file name I need to open is "Escalation Adherence-Details " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsx".

I need to drill down to the Adherence Report folder and then have the macro search through folders for each year (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, etc) and then each month within each year (1 January, 2 February, 3 March, etc), at which point I would then find that day's file.

So far I have the following:

Code:
Sub Open_ESCL_Report()

Workbooks.Open Filename:=*****.****.****.******.comsharesPurchasingTeam XEscalationAdherence Report & "Escalation Adherence-Details " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsx"
End Sub

Each file is stored in it's respective month folder as .....Adherence Report(Year)(Month)(File).xlsx

VLOOKUP #N/A Error Between Workbooks On Separate Drives

Nov 20, 2007

I have 5 worksheets in file Z on drive J which are full of VLOOKUP formulas pulling data from several files on drive K. Each worksheet pulls data from it's own file on drive K...ie, worksheet AB pulls all of it's data from file AB_2008, etc. On worksheet CD there are two rows which populate with #N/A when I open file Z, but if I open file CD_2008, the #N/A's automatically populate with the correct values. Any ideas??? I am not a programer but I have pretty fair excel skills...but this one has stumped me.

Here's my formula:

=VLOOKUP($A19,'K:sopworkbookssop_2008[sop_2008_rt.xls]11-RT-PPR'!$A:$BQ,C$34,FALSE)

Excel 2013 :: Add-Ins (specifically Explode) And Network Drives

May 27, 2014

My office just upgraded from office 2007 to 2013. I went through my normal routine, adding back in settings and Add-ins. Everything seemed fine. I rely heavily on Aaron Blood's Explode Add-in. It seemed to work. If I open a local spreadsheet it works (same with ledger shade and some other personal add-ins). However, when I open a file on the network, the explode and ledger shade add-ins do not appear. My personal add-ins do, but I have set myself as a trusted root source. I am sure I have a security problem somewhere.

I went into the trust center/trusted locations and set my network drive (and it's subfolders) to be a trusted location. That did not seem to fix it.

I also tried copying a file that does not work on the network to my local drive to see if the add-ins would work - once on my local drive they do work. Also if I open a blank or local file, then open a network file, the add-ins are still there and working.

Searching By Date

Mar 3, 2009

Have the following scenario I'm struggling with in Excel 07:

2 worksheets:

WS1, have a bunch of customer data. Relevant columns in this WS include customer number (unique value) and a column called "adjustment date", which is formatted as a date as the label name implies.

WS2 is a bunch of customer transactional data, with each row being a unique transaction. Relevant columns here include customer number (formatted same as in WS1) and transaction date.

Couple things to note: in WS2, each customer may have dozens of transactions. Right now, I have that WS sorted by transaction date in ascending order (so oldest to newest).

What I'm trying to do (unsuccessfully so far!) is build a formula in WS1 that says "on what date was the customer's first transaction after their adjustment date"?

I've tried constucting something using =index+match, but to no avail.

Searching For 50 Combinations Of Something Out Of Hundreds

Aug 10, 2008

ive got table consisting of about 4000 entries. Below is a small example.

[url]

I want to be able to make a button through macro's, where when pressed, it shows only certain postcodes - the way i've been doing it so far is using a combination of If, And, and Or functions to return true or false if a postcode begins with either 'AH4, AH1' and has an order number beginning with 'W', for example. Then I'd record a macro where it shows the ones showing true, via data filter. The problem I've got is I need to search for about 50 different combinations of postcode, out of a list of maybe 300 types of postcode, and using my current IF,AND,OR functions, I simply run out of room in the formula bar! For example, I need find a postcode beginning with CB1-25 (i.e. CB1, CB2, CB3) etc..etc.. the only problem is if i use my current LEFT function, and i want to search for say, CB1, CB14, CB15, out of a list of 'CB1,CB14,CB15,CB16', it will still return a postcode beginning with CB16, due to the CB1.

In the link I've highlighted the postcodes I want to search for out of that small list, and hopefully any solution I'm giving here I could expand to up to 100 combinations out of 500 combinations of postcode, for example.

How do I get it to search for a massive combination of criteria?
