VBA Code For Opening / Importing?
Jun 27, 2013
I have a workbook with a button that will run a macro to open files and import sheets based on if the user checked the box. Everything works perfectly EXCEPT for the importing of the sheets from newly opened workbook.
Here is what I want the code to do:
1. if the box is checked then open the file
2. Copy (import) the first sheet in the newly opened workbook and put it before the 1st sheet.
3. Close the workbook that the sheet was copied from and do not save changes
4. active the workbook that has the newly imported sheet.
And here is what i have thus far:
Code:
Sub OpenFiles()
Dim Folderpath As String
Dim cell As Range
Dim r, LRow As Single
Dim Dbook As Workbook
Set Dbook = ActiveWorkbook
[code]....
After stepping through it, the problem is here:
Code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:=Folderpath & Range("B" & r).Value
Source = Range("B" & r)
Sheets(1).Copy Before:=Workbooks("CompletionWorksheet.xlsm").Sheets(1)
'How the hell do I close this ^ workbook
ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False 'This closes the workbook where the sheet was copied to
Windows("CompletionWorksheet.xlsm").Activate
Not sure what to do.

with code in which I import data from the web via a query then try to use end(xlUp).row to find the last row of the query. Right now, the code continues while the worksheet still displays "Getting Data...", so the last row always comes out as row 1. After the data is finished importing, however, the last row is most definitely not 1.
If I put a break point after the query and wait for the data to finish importing, then let the code finish, it runs perfectly. But how can I have the code automatically wait to move on until the data is finished importing?

The idea is to select an item i one cell, which in return will affect the following cells with the nutritional values. So far so good. I would then like, if a given amount is entered, it calculates the values.
A food item is typed in Cell A. The following cells will Index Match a table (on a different sheet), importing calculation formulas based on the food items nutritional value (Cells C - G). If an amount is typed in Cell B (i.e. 100 grams) the following cells will then calculate the correct nutritional values.
i learned to make an INDEX MATCH function, so that when i type "Gulerod" or something like that, the following cells import information from the Table tab... When the table contains fixed values, this works just fine. However - i tried to make the table (the cells) with calculation formulas (i.e. =SUM(4*B3))... this means the values in the tables are 0 untill a value is typed in B3 (in this example).
... however when i do the Index Match in my main tab, only the "0"'s are imported, and no matter what value i enter in B3 in the main tab, the following cells remains with the fixed value 0.
... so my question is - is it even possible to have the Index Match function import the calculation formula from the table and have it work in the main tab as well? Or is there any other way to make this work in Excel? Basically - to have the main sheet find the relevant data to use for calculation on a different tab/sheet, and then do the actually calculations on the main tab/sheet.

Why can't I get this code to work? The first line seems to work ok but not yet sure as the rest doen't work.
I have tried NEXT_YEAR as a string and as a number but I keep getting an error.
Sub test()
NEXT_YEAR = "2013"
ChDir "J:Maxtor backupFire DeptVacations " & NEXT_YEAR
Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _
"J:Maxtor backupFire DeptVacations " & NEXT_YEAR "VacGrp - 1 - " & NEXT_YEAR & ".xls""", UpdateLinks _
:=3).RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoOpen
End sub
Below is the code I am trying to replace and it works fine.
ChDir "J:Maxtor backupFire DeptVacations 2013"
Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _
"J:Maxtor backupFire DeptVacations 2013VacGrp - 1 - 2013.xls", UpdateLinks _
:=3).RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoOpen

the code always opens a new instance of Outlook even though one may already be open. If left unchecked I may have like 30 instances open if I leave the computer for a few hours. So I was wondering is there some snippet of code I can add in here to check if excel is open first and if so do not open a new instance?
Code:
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
' Change the mail address and subject in the macro before you run it.
With OutMail
.To = "xxxx@live.com"
[code].....

I cannot figure out how to get my error handler to work, or actually, not work. It seems to work fine when there is an error, but the code still gets read even when there was not an error. Basically, I am trying to open a file, which may or may not be there. When it is not there I want a message to pop up informing the user. However, when the file is there and it opens, the error handler still gives the message box. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Private Sub btnOK_Click()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim LCSfile As String
LCSfile = frmSelectFile.Listbox1.Value
On Error Goto ErrHandler
Workbooks.Open Filename:=sPath & sDate & "" & LCSfile & "QUANT.CSV"
ErrHandler:
MsgBox ("File is not quantitated. Please select another file.")
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:
[url]
So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.

I am importing data from a csv file into another program. For some reason this particular cell is causing everything past it in the same row to be thrown off. It is moving bits and pieces to the next column, then the next, etc....all in the same row though.
Can you see anything in this data that would cause issues in a csv file when importing. The data in this cell is html code for an ecommerce item description.

How can I limit the number of lines when importing a file? Limit the import
to the first 53 lines of a file that has 50,000+ lines.
Want to import the first "XX" set of lines, then I want to skip a set of
lines, then continue to import the rest of the lines. The second import needs
to be inserted 2 or 3 lines down from the first import.
There is the function:
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=
But it only has a StartRow and can not specify the "EndRow". Also can not
specify where to start in the worksheet, i.e. Cell A5

I have a Excel workbook (wb1) where the columns are showing the months and the rows are showing different actions/activities. If an action takes place in a specified month the cell corresponding to both the action and the month is marked yellow.
In another workbook (wb2) I want to be able to retrive data from wb1. What I want is that when wb2 is opened it should do a search in wb1 to find the first action/activity that takes place in the current month. The activity/action text should be imported to a textbox or cell in wb2.

I am having a little trouble with this piece of simple code that just seems to be not working the way i want to. I can't figure why it won't work.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheets("Global").Select
Range("B5:F19").Copy
Range("B25").PasteSpecial (xlPasteAll)
Range("B5:E5").ClearContents
Range("B7:E7").ClearContents
Range("B11:E11").ClearContents
Range("B13:F13").ClearContents
Range("B17:D17").ClearContents
Range("B19:D19").ClearContents
End Sub
for some reason if i try to do Range("B5:F19").Select and then do Selection.Copy, I get an application error message. This has never happened before and for some reason it just started to act up. If you want to know what it does when I run this macro.. it actually doesn't go to Sheet "Global" it stays in the same sheet and does all the copying/pasting/clearing in the same sheet as the button is. I made sure that the tab is "Global" and i have confirmed caps. spaces everything.

I have one workbook for daily records of multiple data items.
These data are summed according to each item and exported to a specified cells in a monthly report.
Is there an alternative easier method to import data other than using "paste special" property.

I have a multilevel XML file. Attached my1.zip (XML files cannot be uploaded as is, hence I had to zip it). When I import the XML into excel, it creates multiple columns for the multilevel data. However, I need the multilevel data as additional rows. I have attached another excel file sample.xlsx which shows how excel imports the XML and how I actually need the data to be.
