Set File Extention As Variant
Jul 1, 2009
I have a button the runs Application.GetOpenFilename And puts the output filepath into a label. I then have another button that opens a inputbox asking to change the file name and then copys the file from above path to my destenation.
when setting the destination i use ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "Images" & Application.PathSeparator and the imputbox value as the filename. doing it like this it wont alocate a extention for the file ".jpg,ect". The label.caption has the .ext and i would like to be able to store everythink after the . as a variant.

Im currently using excel 2007 and have my workbook saved with the extention .xlsm. I have put a vlookup formula in a cell and have placed $ constant sign se the formula will look in the same column but different rows. However, when I copy and paste the formula down the rows, the formula captures the same data.

I am using the following save as function on a template to save it as a workbook:
Sub SaveFileAsDate()
Dim WSName As String, CName As String, Directory As String, savename As String
WSName = "TMG Work Order"
CName = "C4"
Directory = "Maintenance Service Agreements"
savename = Sheets(WSName). Range(CName).Text & Sheets(WSName).Range("F3").Text & Sheets(WSName).Range("K4").Text & Sheets(WSName).Range("K8").Text
If Directory = "" Then Directory = CurDir & ""
On Error Goto errorsub:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Directory & savename & ".xls"
Exit Sub
errorsub:
Beep
MsgBox " Changes not saved!", vbExclamation, Title:=savename & ".xls"
End Sub
It works fine but I need to be able to capture future changes to the sheet as the same saved name but to add and extention like (-Rev1). Once it has been saved as -Rev1, each additional time it saves, the -Rev number would increase. I searched the forums but didn't find an exact match.

The function is as follows.

nwAdoCon.Close

Is there any way in VBA to convert a Variant into a String? This code doesn't seem to be valid:
Dim vName As Variant
Dim sName As String
vName = "John"
sName = CStr(vName)

Is/how possible to read entire ss into a variant "off-scree" without showing the user? I can open the file, I just dont know how to not show the file, select the entire sheet and read the values. I have seen the below but dont know how modify it as needed. Also is there a way to do this dynamically with variable length rows/columns?
Dim vaData As Variant
Dim lRow Long
Dim lCol As Long
vaData=ActiveSheet. Range("A1:B10").Value

I want to test how many elements are not empty within a variant array.
For example for arrays Arr1 and Arr2 below the answers would be:
- for Arr1 not empty elements=1
- for Arr2 not empty elements=0
Arr1(0)=empty
Arr1(1)=2
Arr1(2)=empty
Arr2(0)=empty
Arr2(1)=empty
Arr2(2)=empty
I've tried with function COUNTA inside VBA but counts even the empty values:
Code:
NotEmptyCells = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Arr1)
Is there another function to count this from an array or alternative way?

The answer is probably "because I'm stupid", but I really can't get my head around it! I'm playing with variant arrays for the first (and possibly last) time,
The code I have is:
Sub test()
Dim vSheetColours As Variant
Dim iCounter As Integer
vSheetColours = Range("Colours").Interior.ColorIndex
For iCounter = 1 To UBound(vSheetColours, 1)
MsgBox vSheetColours(iCounter, 1)
Next iCounter
End Sub
(Obviously this code doesn't do anything useful - but if I could get it to work, I might have a chance of making my real code work!)
Colours is a range of 8 cells. Each one has some text in, and has a different background colour. I'm trying to store the colours.
If I run this code, I get a runtime error 13 type mismatch, and it highlights
For iCounter = 1 To UBound(vSheetColours, 1)
But if I replace
vSheetColours = Range("Colours").Interior.ColorIndex
with
vSheetColours = Range("Colours").Value
it works fine.

I have a multiple select list box which I capture the selected items by using ListBox1. List
I want to use the 'selection' to build up a string that will form a document name I want to add to an email as an attachment (all being done from Excel), however I get a type mis-match error as the ListBox1.List output is a variant.
So I'm aiming to have something like MyFile = firstpartoffilename & ListBox1.List & "*.doc"
Do I need to somehow convert the variant variable or are there some other clever tricks I can use to create my document name.

Is it possible to use an array without looping through it? I have code that has two loops: One that is just for the array and the other that loops through the data. It would be nice if I could get it down to one loop, but I'm not sure if it's possible. For example, if you have
Dim varArea As Variant
varArea = Array(1,2,4,6,8,12)
For x = LBound(varArea) To UBound(VarArea)
Do While Not C Is Nothing
Code here
Is there a way to advance to the next item in the array without using the loop.

I am using strongly typed code, but I am also pulling data from worksheets into variants. e.g.
Dim MyArray As Variant
MyArray = [MyNamedRange]
is there any shortcut to convert the variant to a typed array, which doesn't just involve looping throught the variant and using a casting function, e.g.
Dim MyArray As Variant
Dim typedArray() As type
MyArray = [MyNamedRange]
typedArray = shortcut(MyArray)

I have looked into the maximum length of a variant/string in vba and it appears to be 250 characters. I am running a macro which first lists all excel files in a folder, returning them to a sheet, then using a loop statement opens each one in turn extracting the information to a second summary sheet before closing it. The file path to the folder is ridiculously long and the macro stumbles. I used the =LEN(A1) formula to check if the file names were too long for the string, but the maximum file name length was 226 characters. I've tried both String and Variant to collect the file names but both have the same effect.

I am trying to develop some code to serve as an 'undo' for several macros that I have. They each take a selected range and perform some changes to that range. I have managed to make some code that will undo the last macro run but would like to make something that can go back several steps. To that end, I have started with the following code but am running into an issue when I need to use a variant array to hold multiple arrays of a custom defined data type:
VB:
Type SaveRange
Val As Variant
Addr As String
[Code] .....
This declares some public variables I'll need, each as an array so that I can iterate through several steps of do/undo using the undoIndex. I then use them to save each range I am about to change by calling the following macro within my actual data-manipulating macros:
VB:
Sub Save_RangeForUndo(rng As Range)
Dim i As Integer
Dim cell As Range
undoIndex = undoIndex + 1
[Code] .....
If you look at the last line here, this is my problem; I can't figure out how to properly use an array to hold each instance of OldSelection() for later referral. Just for completeness, here is my actual undo macro:
VB:
Sub Undo_Operation()
Dim i As Integer
OldWorkbooks(undoIndex).Activate
OldWorksheets(undoIndex).Activate
[Code] .....
I need to get this OldSlctVariant()() array to hold each instance of OldSelection() so that I can restore them for each consecutive undo. I'm not very familiar with the variant type and anything more than the basic use of arrays.

I have about 20 different workbooks and i want to create identical tables and graphs in each one of them using the least number of steps.
The number of the rows changes by workbook but the colums are identical. So the range will vary by workbook.
so for example:
workbook1=
name sales
a 10
b 20
c 30
workbook2=
name sales
a 10
So I want a macro that does the tabling and charting in workbook1 and automatically moves to workbook2 and so on.

I would like to get the return value for an evaluate statement which is a variant data type, convert it to an integer and do some computation. I have 4 test programs, the first 3 all work, the 4ths does not.
The first sd_test(returns 1) and st_test1(returns 1) demonstrate that my evaluate statement is correct and works,
sd_test2(returns 3) shows that I can convert a variant to an integer
in sd_test3(returns #VALUE!) I try to put both together and it doesn't work?

I wanted to convert a variant to an integer. The variant data is stored in an array, the variant data was entered from a userform.
Private Sub CB_OilPrice_Click()
Dim xx As Long
UserFormSpecifyDetail.Show 'Enter data
For i = 1 To 120
xx = VarType(UserFormInputArray(i)) 'Returns 8
xx = Int(UserFormInputArray(i)) 'Returns error
Next i
End Sub
The value in UserFormInputArray = "50000"
error = Run-Time error 6, overflow

I have a template file for ordering trafolyte and steel plates. I have added macros to this template file. The existing macros do the following (shortly described):
Macro 1: clears order
Macro 2: update order date + send a read only file to the supplier of plates + save a read only copy of the file into one of three folders acc to info in one of the cells.
It's the Macro 2 I want to edit.
I want to add a "function" which copy a selection of data.column A to N from row 12 to 548 but only the rows where there is a value in column A.
Row 1 to 11 includes standard order info and Macro buttons.
Row 11 includes the heading for order data.
For everytime someone click on the Macro 2 button in the template file, I want the selection to be paste into the first "available" row in a "Total list" file.
The "Total list" file may have to be open (or a function to open, paste selection and then close the "Total list" file may be added)
File and Folder info:
To simplify suggestions, the following file and path info can be used (I can change to the correct later):
Template file name: template_order.xlsm
Template file location: \servershared emplate
Total list file name: total_list.xlsx
Total list file location: \servershared otal
Selection info:
The template file exists of a "general order info area" A1:N10
The column heading for order data is located at A11:N11
The selection to be copied is A12:N550 - But only rows where column A includes data (not empty).
(If the spesific order consists of 14 plates than there will be item no 1-14 in column A and I then I want to copy A12:N25 (row 25 will be item 14).
When I try to use record macro it looks like it only records what's happening in the template file - It doesn't record the pasting in the total list.

The code below looks at file names in column A and then goes to a folder and opens and copies the data in range c2 -lastrow from each file and pastes the data into sheet2.
how I could add to the code so that it also inserts the file name in column c?
It would make it easier to track the data in column B.
VB:
Sub CopyFromFile()
Dim fPath As String
Dim lRow As Long
[Code].....
I have attached a sample workbook. The list of file name is in sheet 1. An example of the output is in sheet 2. The data in column A is dummy data generally spans 100's of rows not just 10 as in the example.
The purpose of the code is to be able to put a list of file names in column a in sheet 1 and extract data from those files in a folder. The data extraction works fine. The reson for adding the file names is so that I know what file the data came from.

I have a requirement to download a lot of historical data files from the archieve of an website. The url goes something like this: [URL]....
This downloads file for 21022014 ie. 21-Feb-2014. I need to be able to have a facility to have a selection criteria on my user form (in excel) where I specify a date range and the macro automatically downloads all the valid excel files available within that date range (files for Saturday, Sunday and some holiday dates will not be available in the website archive database) one after the other (like at single clcik of button) into a specific location (predefined viz.. c:/Users/EOD files/) on my laptop. Best would be if I am able to select the save location run time by using a 'Browse' like feature where I go and choose my local laptop folder...same type when we try uploading a file from our laptop to the web..

I have attached the file I am working on. I am attempting to create a link to an external file based on the value of cells in column A. Then I would like to simply copy the formula down, lets say in Column B, the rows and as I do the external file reference will change depending on the value within the cell in Column A. I hope that I am making sense.
I am using Windows Vista with Excel 2007. The files will all be within the same file folder, however, there are hundereds of files so I won't be able to open them all for the indirect to work.

CSV files are something like that (I need only first 4 columns):
ABCDE1Name MSISDN Date Location MapLink 2M. Younus Safi "923***550577" "2011-10-07 20:36:18" "ACB Tower Badragah Chakwal. Badraga" "http://asdf.com" 3M.

I want to import first 3 columns of csv file on first 3 columns on my worksheet; leave 2 columns blank and then import the 4th column... now for example i have done importing data from 1st csv file and the data is on 50 rows.. i click the command button again, locate the 2nd csv file.. do the same thing (import 1st 3 columns, 2 blank, then 4th) --from 51st Row-- and so on...

I have numerous spreadsheets that I need to open and unhide a sheet, that has XML data stored in cell A1. What I need to do is copy that data in cell A1 and paste it into a text document and save that as an XML file saved as the XLS workbook name with a date stamp.
I'm running into many issues, the main issue is the saving as current file name, and the formatting of the text/XML file.
Here is my current code, which doesn't reference the current file name and is just very generic. Once I get the saving as file-name correct and the formatting of the xml file correct, I will work on it a bit more.
Code:
Sub Test()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim wb As Workbook
Set Rng = Range("A1:A2")
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
With wb
Rng.Copy
