Transfer Text From Changing File Name
Jun 15, 2006
I have Workbook1 that I need to update from another Workbook2 in a different location on the network. Workbook2 is read only. Workbook2 is generated automatically with a name like "product 06-14.xls". Now my problem is that, since it get created automatically, the next day it will create a new workbook with a new name "product 06-15.xls" leaving the old file in the same directory for future reference.
I need to update a cell with the new current date up to the completion of the month plus the beginning of the next month to make it a complete month, so a completed month will be from 05-01-2006 to 06-1-2006 because the last day of the month doesn't get recorded until next day. What I have problems with is the looping to go to the next day until the beginning of the next. Then stop and start again on a new cell inputting the new month.
April-06 ---- 5,907
May-06 ----- 4,954
June-06 ------ 524
July-06 ----
This is what I have so far.

As my data in the txt file has grown so has the time for the code to write back in into a workbook sheet line by line
Open LogFileName For Input Access Read Shared As #FileNum
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, WholeLine
WholeLine = Mid(Trim(WholeLine), 2, Len(Trim(WholeLine)) - 2)
my_array = Split(WholeLine, ";")
Sheets("Text"). Range(Cells(x, 1), Cells(x, UBound(my_array) + 1)).Value = my_array
x = x + 1
Wend
Close #1
Is there a syntax for the whole txt file to be transfered?

I have a data in excel sheet which I would like to convert into a text file. In the text file, the data format should be with the brackets and comma separated.
For example:
In excel sheet:
12 2 45 25
23 1 35 50
24 1 21 23
In text file the same data should be in the following format:
(12,2,45)[25]
(23,1,35)[50]
(24,1,21)[23]
The above is for one data set . In other data set, the brackets may change places for example: (1,23)[12,34,56]

I have a macro that transfers data from one workbook to another, this works fine, however the problem I have is that one of the files has the name changed frequently to another name, so each time i run the macro I have to change the original file name to the revised file name.
here is a copy of the macro
Dim NextRow As Long, Isht As Worksheet, Lsht As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set Isht = Workbooks("RMG Daily.xls").Worksheets("Retail Team 1")
Set Lsht = Workbooks("Weekly Monthly YTD Scores.xls").Worksheets("Raw Data")
NextRow = Lsht.Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row + 1 'next empty row in col A
the "RMG daily.xls" is the file change is used as a template but then saved as ie "010108.xls"
rather than me editing the macro each time I need to create a pop up box that will allow user to type in file name for the transfer - this will then link in with this part of my VBA code
"Set Isht = Workbooks("RMG Daily.xls").Worksheets("Retail Team 1") to instantly recognise where my data is being transferred from.

That probably was not the best title, but here is my dilemma. I have one file that has about 10,000 records in it and I would like to place the information in the records into a new file, under different fields.
Is there a wizard or script I can use to identify what the equivalent fields between the two files and have it transfer all the records over to populate that new file in that format that I specified?

I have an existing spreadsheet with a column of strings (actually VIN numbers). These numbers correllate to a bunch of text files, that can exist in one of three folders (UsernameDesktop1, 2, or 3) on my desktop. What I need the macro to do is:
1) get the filename from A2 (A1 is a heading row)
2) Find the appropriate text file in one of the three folders
3) Put the folder name into I2
4) Scan the text file for some strings, and copy some data that follows those strings into J2:O2 (I can handle programming this)
5) Close the text file
6) repeat above for the remainder of filenames (about 1800 files)

I have a more general question. When doing something such as loading a picture, is it possible to be able to have code which the loading file name changes with a variable. For example, if I have pictures with names 1.jpg thru 120.jpg(all in the same directory) is it possible to write a code that loops and loads the proper image without having to write a section of code for each file name? This would be the directory(C:Documents and Settings muzaDesktopNew DatabaseDatabase Images312312_250) so could I code the filename calls something like this with having picname be the variable which goes from 1 to 180:
.Pictures.Insert( _
"C:Documents and Settings muzaDesktopNew DatabaseDatabase Images312312_250" & picname & ".jpg").Select

Got a slight problem; I am making a "worker-plan", where you should be able to write a name on one file and have it updated (removed) from the equivalent columns on another file automatically. Here's an example with two separate projects:
Project 1 before and after changes:
Attachment 257366
Attachment 257367
Project 2 before and after changes:
Attachment 257368
Attachment 257369
You can see here how I intended it to work. When one worker is moved from Project 1 to Project 2, that worker should also be removed from those weeks in Project 1. The previous worker from Project 2 should also be removed from those weeks (in Project 2).
Are there any formulas that can make this work automatically? All week numbers will belong to the same columns in all files.
Edit: There are 30 files that should be syncronized, not just two.. I could also gather all files into one file with sheets, instead of having seperate files.

Is there a quicker way to do this rather and going into all the cells and changing reference from current years files data to blank files data.

I have a sheet which is list of prizes. Column B represents the type of auction this could go to Column C represents the type of prize and Column D the name of the person responsible. The other 4 sheets is for the live auction, the silent auction, the raffle and goodies prizes
If on sheet 1 the type of auction is SA, I'd like Column B, C and D to be reflected in the Silent auction sheet (List SA)
If on sheet 1 the type of auction is LA, I'd like Column B, C and D to be reflected in the Live auction sheet (List LA) and same for Raffle (R) and Goodies (GB)

I'm looking to build a macro which will automatically transfer a line of text from one worksheet to another within the same workbook. Once the macro has been run, the text in the original sheet should disappear and re-appear in the other worksheet. It should appear in the same column, but different line from the original.

to save typing the same things over and over I have created a dialog box with checkboxes, named with several common terms we use when writing an invoice. i.e. dig a hole, paint a fence etc. I have assigned the dialog box to a button on the worksheet.
When I check the checkboxes, I want the text to go to a blank section of the invoice one underneath the other. The reading I have done suggests this is an event-handler subroutine, I just don't know enough about VBA yet to be able to write the code.

I am trying to use code in a VBA macro to change my file to a read-only file at the end of the macro after I've done a few other things to the file. I'm using this line of code:
ActiveWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
This code does in fact change the file to read-only. After the macro finishes I see "Read-Only" in the title of the file. However, when I close the file and re-open it the file is no longer read only.
I've tried changing the code to this:
ActiveWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess xlReadOnly
ActiveWorkbook.Save
But that doesn't work because it tells me I can't save the file after it's been converted to read-only.

I am a file that I want to open with VBA, however, the name of the file is refreshed everyday and the name change everyday as well. (Ex. on 5Jun, I would want the file named ABC0406.out, and on 6Jun, the file I would want would be ABC0506.out)
Noticed that the "ABC" and the ".out" do not change. It's just the date is one "weekday" before. I've tried the "dateserial" formula but can't get it to work.

my formula is as follows: =(VLOOKUP(A7,'[Monthly AR Analysis - Feb09.xls]AR - Current'!$A$1:$I$153,8,FALSE)). I will be using this for formula on about 15 different worksheets ... my issue is the file name changes every month and currently I have to go in and do a find and replace, I would like to have one main page where I could change the file name month and it will change all the rest.
ie: Monthly AR Analysis - Feb09.xls next month changes to Monthly AR Analysis - Mar09.xls .... So basically each month I want it to pick up the new file that has been saved with the new name. So what I would want is to be able to have a cell that I could change the Feb09 to Mar09 and then it would do the same to all the worksheets. I attempted to use CONCATENATE to change file name and it worked but will not work within the Vlookup.

I've got a macro set up to copy a range of cells in one workbook, open another existing workbook, and then paste that range. So far so good.
However, I need the macro to also save a copy of that second workbook with a filename that is derived from the original workbook.
To be a bit clearer, let me give an example of how I'd like this to work. Let's say the original workbook is titled Pickle2014-03-14.Raw.xlsm, and I have a second workbook titled UploadFormat.xlsx. I want to run the macro in Pickle2014-03-14.Raw.xlsm, have the data pasted to UploadFormat.xlsx, then save UploadFormat.xlsx with the file name Pickle2014-03-14.Final.xlsx.

I am running the macro below which changes details in my spreadsheet using details from an external table.
Range("C7:E36").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=18
Range("C42:E51").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=18
Range("C58:E69").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=15
Range("C75:E86").Select
If I want to perform this process without having to change the directory to the t drive etc, how do I change the macro? Is there a way, that as long as each of the relevant sheets are in the same directory, i can point the macro there? Ie, as long as all saved together in My Documents or Desktop, the macro automatically looks there?

I am trying to find a way to dynamicly change CSV files .What I want is to add another column to the table with the values that based on the pre programmed parameters. For example if i have A,B,C,D columns and rows 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 I need macros to add values in column E based on the values of column B(for example)
I want to be able to pre-set those algorithms.For example for value 1033 in column B I need macros to insert value 1.25 in column E in the same row,for value 951 in column B I need 0.3 in column E in the same row. Is it doable just in Excel?

I have an userform with 10 txtBoxes that I want to have the color changed based off another textbox Values (they will side by side, so when the user enter a value, it will know either it's excelent, good, average or bad based on the colors green, blue, yellow and red).
Is there a way to do so? Because all I have managed to do is to change one txtBox color per time, based on the value entered on the same text box (i.e. if I change the text box which should be changed, nothing changes).

Can I use a vlookup combined with IF function to lookup up to a different file dependent on what the cell says.
For Example cell a1 could have the value Alan Smith, Tony Brown or John Doe dependent on what value is entered the lookup would "lookup" against the file named Alan Smith, Tony Brown or John Doe.

In any other software, when I save a copy, or export to a different format the original file remains unaffected but in an excel it seems to work differently...and I end up having to save my file back to the xslx format. this extra time wasted when I am regularly exporting but it also makes me a bit nervous that I might accidentally not save back to the format with all my worksheets etc etc..

Using VBA, can anyone please advise if it is possible to change the name of a large number of files in a directory. I want to get each file name as a string, truncate the first few characters, then change the name to the new filename, all without opening any of the files whose names are to be changed.

I would like to create a macro to open a file in Excel 2007. My problem is that the filename changes often. After updates are made the filename is changed and the old file is moved to a backup folder. So, there is only one similar file in the folder
My filename is "RFQ Worksheet 7 29 2008.xlsx".
The path is "C:Documents and SettingsahaynijDesktop".

When opening a .CSV created from a third party software, one of the columns is converted to date format. The numbers are imported in #/# format. and Excel changes most of the numbers to 2-Jan, 3-Jan etc... This would not be that big of an issue if I could simply set it back. Clearing format or changing to text converts it to a 5 digit number.
The only way I have found to get it to work properly thus far is to open a blank sheet and import data and setting the column to text prior to import.
I would like to find a way of opening the CSV file without all the extra steps. Is there a setting that can be turned off?
