VBA Or Other Coding For Looking Up File Date
Dec 15, 2008
I am trying to learn how to use it in some of my Excel application. I am just wondering if someone would be willing to help what I am thinking would be a short string of code.
What I have is a list of files that I have compiled along with a name and description in cells B3 and C3 respectively. In cell E3 what I have is the path to that file which is linked so that I can click on it to access the file. Is there any way that I can write some kind of simple code to look up the last modified date of that file whose path is specifed and place it in cell D3.

Explored a few posts on my topic, but didn't quite find what I needed.
I need to open the Insert Picture dialog with it pointed at C:My DocumentsTemp. (Users will be required to save their images files to this location only).
Attempted to run a macro to get the code, but the dialog box forces you to select a file. I only need to get some low skilled users to the folder and let them select the image to insert.

My problem is in the date formula the day is not always the same. In the sample case it's 03 at other times the day will change.
is there a way too get this too work irregardles of what the day might be?

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 do routine tasks every day which involves opening 3 different files and pasting data into my main file. The data is always in the same format, and the 3 files are saved in the same location (3 different folders through). The 3 files are saved each day and the naming convention is constant, with only the date changing. For example, the files are always saved in C:My Documents and the files are called test_05.02.2013.xls. Tomorrow the file will be called test_06.02.2013.xls and so on.
So each day I will be rolling a file forward and I want to bring in the info from each of these files based on the new day.
How to do 1, and I will do the others (because the concept will be the same).

I need to open an excel file based on a date mentioned in the file name, but minus 1 day. The file name is composed with Statistics_date_time.xls
Example: statistics_20140423_142754.xls
Once I need to open the file (only in the mornings), it has to be the one from the previous day to see the yesterdays performance. How can I create a macro that will look at the date in the file and take the one from yesterday?
This will be a part of a macro I'm making. The rest of the macro will just format the file and combine a few ones from different departments.

I have a template file that I import data in to, which is then saved with the current date. This works, but I want to automate the import of the data, but ensure I don't duplicate the load.
Therefore, I have a tab 'FileLog' that I record the filename (variable by date) in column A and Creation timestamp in column B.
How do I obtain the filename and creation timestamp of the import data so that they can be entered?

I've written a Function which will count the number of files in a folder which the modified date equals a fixed date
For example, here, I want the file count which modified date = 01.01.2014
Code:
Function FileCountDate(Path As String, FileType As String) As Long
Dim strTemp As String
Dim lngCount As Long
Application.Volatile
strTemp = Dir(Path & FileType)
Do While strTemp ""
[Code] ......
However I got a #VALUE! error message with this formula:
=FileCountDate("C:Usersjohn.doeDesktopTEST","*")
In the TEST folder there are 4 pdf files so it should return the value of 4.

I have moved this query to a seperate post because the other was becoming a bit bogged down.
This code supplied by RichieUK works perfectly until the month changes then it goes wrong. I have run the macro for every day of May up to the 3rd June using dummy files and then it goes wrong -
When I get to the 3rd June dsecondlatest which should pick up either yesterdays or (last fridays file if yesterday was a Sunday) picks up the file for the 1st June instead of the 2nd June.
dlatestdate still works properly and gives the filename for the 3rd June.
Sub New_Coupon_Count_Update4()
' Find Source Data File
ChDir "J:\_RU_REPORTSMARKETING"
Const strMyDir As String = "J:\_RU_REPORTSMARKETINGCOUPON COUNT CSV"
Const strFirstName As String = "Ru0230_"
Const strSecondName As String = "J:DAILY_COUPON_COUNT_2006COUPON06.xls"
Dim strFName As String, wbk As Workbook
Dim strDate As String, strDay As String, strMth As String, strYear As String
Dim dDate As Date, dLatestDate As Date, dSecondLatest As Date

Dim vaFileName As Variant
Dim daysdif As String
Dim dLesResp
Dim dTodResp
Dim Ro As Long
Dim Col As Integer
Dim DataRows
Dim DataRows1
Dim DataRows2
Dim DataCols1
The rest of the macro after this point works perfectly.

My spreadsheet calculates the date on a daily basis.
I would like to create a code in my spreadsheet which uses the year and month in question.
First, 2006 is is designated as a "3"
2007 "4"
2008 "5"
2009 "6" etc
Don't worry about anything prior to 2006.
Next, the months are represented by single digits. So, January = 1, February = 2, March = 3, April =4, etc. September is 9, and October = 10 but all the numbers over 9 have to be reduced to a single digit, so October = 1+0=1, November =1+1= 2, December =1+2= 3.
Now, the formula for the Month is:
Year + current Month
So, May 2007 = 4 + 5 = 9
June 2007 = 4 + 6 = 10 = 1
July 2007 = 4 + 7 = 11 = 2,
January 2008 = 5 + 1 = 6, etc

Is there a way of coding a macro in VBA that allows you, with one macro, to enter text in one cell and at the same time enter a value to the cell on it's right?
I don't want to name the cells, but I wondered if you could add to the code a piece of code that basically said "Select the cell to this cell's right and add the value x".

I have made this vba to go out and look at 2 different locations which contain simular folder names.
The script then writes the folder names in Column A, followed by the Size of both the folders from the 2 locations. The script is comparing the second location folder name to what the first process put in Column A so the folder names will be aligned with the file sizes. It is also converting the file sizes from bytes to the most appropriate one.
The problem I am having here, is once I put the second part in for the second folder, the script is either taking forver (More than an hour) or is freezing. So I am not sure if I put it in a loop somewhere or what exactly is happening. I am just wondering if I can get some help troubleshooting and optimizing this code....

I am looking to create coding that once stock gets to a particular level a text box pops up to alert the user that more stock needs to be ordered and ideally I would like once the user selects ok for it to take them directly to the appropriate email template.
However, I don't want the text box to come up while we are waiting on the stock to be ordered.
i.e our current minimum stock level before placing our next order is 10,000 units. Order is placed and can be received within 10 - 14 days. During this time our 10,000 units will be used but I don't want an alert to pop up to remind the user to place an order as this action will already have been carried out.

I have seen a couple of solution doing 2 seperate sorts but was wondering if you can write code to expand on Excels limited sorting capabilities?

I am trying to figure out how to run a macro for 1 particular workbook in an excel spreadsheet. I don't want it run on any of the other workbooks in that file, just the 1. I can't use conditional formatting because I need more than 3 values (if statements).
This is what one example of data in a cell and below is the color I'd like it to turn when I run the macro:
T: 6/1/07
A: 6/8/07
Anything that has a A: (which means an actual date it happened) I'd like the cell to turn blue. If there is an RT: (which means revised target) I'd like the cell to turn red which means it missed it's target date, and has been revised. If it has a TBD I'd like the cell to turn pink (or yellow or any color really). All other cells are just white. I don't know where to find the color codes in excel as well. Other samples of what cells look like are below.
Here is another example:
T: TBD
And final example:
T: 6/4/07
RT: 6/15/07

Is it possible to select a number of cells that are say yellow when blank but once someone type "N" or "No", they change to blue and if "Y" or "Yes" they change to green. I tried conditional formatting but it does not change the blank range to yellow until I have entered something into it.
