Update Filepath In A Cell With VBA

Mar 21, 2014

I have a 4 cells which contain the followng information, To: Email address, Subject: Text, Body: Text, File Path: File path (as Hyperlink).

I need the file path cell to update automatically when the file is saved somewhere new. This filepath is then used in an email that is generated with code so that the person opening the email can click on the link and open the file.

What I cannot seem to do is to get the file path to be something that updates automatically (which is functionality that I must have)but that also remains as a hyperlink for when it goes in the email (I have an additional problem at the moment which is that the hyperlink does not seem to work in the email - it keeps saying file cannot be found. I don't know if this is something to do with our systems and the way I am referring to the file?!?)

The cell with the file path currently loks like this:-

Cell AX Cell AY
File path file:///E:PART_TIME_LEAVEPART_TIME_PS_LEAVE_RECORD_EMAIL_VERSION_STATUTORY.xlsm

Save File / Workbook As Cell Reference Filepath & Name

Feb 8, 2008

I'm trying to get Mac OS X Excel VBA to understand this code however the ChDir reference and the filepath seem to be causing problems. I would like to specify in the code where the file should be stored but I did try removing the filepath section altogether but to no avail.

Option Explicit
Sub SvMe()
'Saves filename as value of A1 plus the current date
Dim newFile As String, fName As String
' Don't use "/" in date, invalid syntax
fName = Range("A1").Value
'Change the date format to whatever you'd like, but make sure it's in quotes
newFile = fName & " " & Format$(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy")
' Change directory to suit your PC, including USER NAME
ChDir _
"C:Documents and Settings USER NAME Desktop"
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:=newFile
End Sub

Automatically Update Only With Numbers (ifnumber-update And Go To Next Cell)

Oct 18, 2013

Let's say that in column A I have numbers,"Yes" and "No". I want in column B to have only the numbers from column A, in the same order without any empty ranges, and everytime I add in column A a new number, column B to update automatically with that number. Let's have an example:

A B
Yes 12
12 13
No 10
13
No
10
Yes

And if I want to add in column A:
A B
Yes 12
12 13
No 10
13 25
No 15
10
Yes
25
15

So the column be will update automatically. I already tried =IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER($A$1:$A$10),ROW($A$1:$A$10)),ROWS(B$1:B1))-ROW($A$1)+1),") but using this many times get's my file very heavy and the excel is working slow.

Variable In Filepath Name

Jun 20, 2013

I have defined part of a file path as a string variable so that I don't have to type in it everytime I need it. I then try and use this variable to open a workbook, but I get an error message saying:

Expected: list separator or )

I use the code:

Workbooks.Open(filepath1&"filename.xls")

where filepath1 is the string variable

Can't work out why it doesn't work...

Browse For Filepath From Userform

Aug 7, 2013

Upon clicking a button in a userform, I would like a MsgBox to appear, allowing the user to browse their file directory.

Upon selecting a folder in the file directory, a new excel workbook is created with the filepath chosen and named based on a previous MsgBox (which ive already accomplished), and the filepath is recorded in a cell on Thisworkbook.

Is this possible and if so how?

Autofill; Copy Down It Doesn’t Automatically Update The Cell References Because It Want To Update Them By Column Number Instead Of Row Number

Dec 11, 2008

I have a basic formula =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!C24, and I want to copy it down just using the drag function. Problem is that the second reference range of cells are in rows and hence when I copy it down it doesn’t automatically update the cell references because it want to update them by column number instead of row number. IE I want it to display =C17+'Asset Depreciation 2008 Onwards'!
D24, instead of C25. Do you know if there is any way of telling Excel that I want it to increase the column number by 1 every time, instead of the row number for this part of the formula?

How To Change Filepath Or Dir When Users Have Drive Mapped Differently

Oct 23, 2013

I have written code that allows the user to open a file. To make things easier I changed the file path to point directly to the folder where all the needed files will be placed. The problem is everyone that will be using this work book map their drives differently. One user may have it as H, and the other as J. Also users can have the same drive mapped but at two different starting points. Ex: H:DataReportsxxxyyy or H:Reportsxxxxyyy this causes the code to crash. Is there a way do default the path so it will not matter how the drives are mapped?

Here is what I am using so far:

Dim filt As Variant ' flit to be used in the getopenfile. variant is need for its multiple
Dim FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Title As String

Automatically Update A Protected Cell Based On Contents Of An Unprotected Cell

Apr 30, 2009

I am trying to find some VBA that will allow protected cells to be updated when a user enters or selects data in other cells.

For example:

Cell 'A1' starts out blank.
Cell 'B1' has a drop down to select specific items.
Cell 'C1' is the date of the order and is a locked cell.
Cell 'D1' is the date of completion and is a locked cell.
The worksheet is protected to prevent direct changes to cells C1 and D1.

If a user enters any information in A1, then C1 displays the current date.
If a user selects 'Complete' from the drop-down list in B1, then D1 displays the current date. Both of these actions are independant of one another. This format is the same for every cell in the 4 columns indicated above. I thought I was able to do this in another spreadsheet I created a year or so ago but I have not been able to figure out what I did and I do not have the spreadsheet to look at.

Stop Update / Don't Update Requestor Message

Oct 27, 2008

I have some VB code which sequentially opens over 200 workbooks to extract data from each and populate another workbook. These workbooks do have links to other workbooks in them.
For some reason when some of these workbooks are opened I get a requestor window asking whether I want to Update or Don't Update the data. I always want to Update the workbook and believe this can be done in VB by hiding the requestor?

Update Cell When Value Changes

Oct 10, 2007

I am creating a spreadsheet where if a cell is updated, the cell next to it is given a time stamp

i.e. if the value in cell A2 changes, the macro gets the current time from cell B1 and pastes it (as a value) in cell B2 - see the code below

However, I need to have this for about 200 cells and I don't want to create the code for each unique line. Is there anyway of doing this?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Row = 2 And Target.Column = 1 Then
Range("B1").Copy
Range("B2").PasteSpecial xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
MsgBox ("Cell updated!")
Exit Sub
Else

Update Cell In Relation To Input Of Another Cell

Mar 25, 2008

I will try to be as clear and concise as possiable and adhear to the forum rules. I'm not a excel wizz, though I know the bascics and am willing to learn, I have a list in column A, in thise list there are repeated words eg the word sugar is repeated in A23, A45, A56 etc. In column B i have condition format so when i type a 'x' it turns the cell color from red to green.

What i am trying to do is if i enter the 'x' in column B in relation to the word - in this case sugar - it will automatically enter a x in all the other cells in B that has the word in there corresponding A column that matches the orginal 'x'. So for example if the word sugar is repeated in A23, A45 and A56 regaredless of where i enter the 'x' in the b column, weather its B23, B45 or B56 then cells i didnt manually enter the x will auto update in corresondance to the word...

My problem is the data and getting the formula's to read it. I copied and pasted the data from a pivot table and the columns are set to accounting two digits. But thats not what

update to the accounting format it is supposed to be already and everything

Update A Cell Value Monthly

Sep 6, 2009

I would like to add avalue of 100 to cell E1 on th 19th of every month.

I currently have this code which I realize will just update every new month instead of the 19th but does not seem to work right.

It only works if I leave cell A1 blank and then it inserts 1/19/1900 into cell.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'Compare today's month against value in A1
If Month(Now) > Sheets(1).Range("A1") Then
Sheets(1).Range("E1") = Sheets(1).Range("E1") + 100
Sheets(1).Range("A1") = Month(Now)

End If
End Sub
