Vba - Input Filename To Open Each Time
May 13, 2007
Below is the code that references a file to import = Jan.txt.
There are different files I want to import, using this macro.
However I have not been successful with creating a variable
and then creating a statement which requires me to input the filename that I want to import for the macro run.
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;U:Jan.txt", Destination _
:=Range("A1"))

I have a csv file named "BB31_2013-08-01". I would like to open this file via vba and this is not my only file. I also have another similar fileames such as "BB31_2013-08-08", therefore, I try to create some function like yyyy, mm & dd where I can modifie it easily for next file.
Here is my code:
VB:
'change weekly
yyyy = "2013"
mm = "08"
dd = "01"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:Documents and Settings1314228DesktopTest ProgressBB31& yyyy &-& mm &-& dd.csv"
[Code] .....

I am trying to skip over any errors associated with the GetOpenFilename window, specifically where the Cancel button is selected, or no files selected.

myExcelFilePath is dim Variant
On Error Resume Next
myExcelFilePath = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel files (*.xls), *.xls", , "locate Report.xls....")
If myExcelFilePath Is Empty Or myExcelFilePath Is Null Then

I try to make a macro for saving an Excel sheet to a .CSV file with "@" as delimiter.
At the line "Open fname For Output As #fnum", the Error 53, "no file found" occurs.
The Excel-help is saying that if the file is not present, a new file will be made.
This error occurs now and then, How to proceed?
Full macro:
Sub SaveAsCSV()
Path = "O:actueel"
Fname1 = Path & Range("E2").Value & ".csv"
fname = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(Fname1, "CSV bestand (*.csv), *.csv", , "")
If fname = False Then
MsgBox "Macro Geannuleerd"
Exit Sub
End If

My company has several users that access a file (File A) that has a macro in that opens another file on their F drive called TEST.XLS. The code (in File A) to do this is:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="F: est.xls"
Just recently this code has failed for some users but not others. For those where it failed I confirmed that they do indeed have the file located on drive F.
As a test, one of the users where the above code failed ran the macro recorder while opening the file (Test.xls) on their F drive. The recorder produced the following code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="\companynetsta$jsmith est.xls"
It appears the code is failing because Excel is looking for a UNC path as opposed to a drive letter (F).
I prefer that the code that looks at the Drive letter F be used.
How can I get the following code to workWorkbooks.Open Filename:="F: est.xls" ....for all users that have an F drive?

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".

I have a Workbook "forecast.xlsx" and several Workbooks which have a individual Number in the Filename (E.g. "3960........xls", "3961.......xls etc.) in the same directory as "forecast.xlsx" + projects"
Now, I would like to browse through "forecast.xlsx" in column H, searching for hyperlinks. In Column H are these Projectnumbers located which are used in the filenames above. Whenever the Cell cointains a hyperlink, following should happen (that far i managed it by myself):
- Store the Cellvalue in a String Variable
- Go to the Directory this.workbook + projects
- browse this folder, searching for a File which contains the stored string in its filename
- open the file
- copy a range
- close file
- This.workbook.Activate
- follow the Hyperlink which has been stored as String before
- paste selection
- continue browsing through column H, looking for the next hyperlink.
I have a VBA which runs bugless, but it copies the wrong range, but to the correct destination.
See the code below:
Sub RESLT_INPUT_ALL()
Dim cell As Object
For Counter = 1 To 1000
Set cell = Worksheets("Projects overview").Cells(Counter, 8)
If cell.Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then
[Code] ......

Am working on a procedure to open all files in a folder and copy some data from the files into another workbook (master). I have this piece of the code. However, I also need to get the filename (from which data was copied) and paste this into an adjacent cell in the master (so I know which file each data point came from).

Workbook.Open filename:="xxxxx"
The address in the xxxx is something like this "G:AnimalMammalZZZZGorillayyyy.xls"
The ZZZZZ portion is the result of an InputBox.
What is the syntax for placing the result of that InputBox in the middle of the address?

I'm on excel 2010 and I have a small group excel files I open everyday. Most of the files are static in name and location. I've got a macro created to open those files, which works fine with workbooks.open and the file path.
There are two report files I want to incorporate into my macro of workbooks to open. The files are created weekly and the files names have the following format: "Report Name (YYYY-MM-DD).xlsm". I don't want to use the file's last modified date because older files may get edited after the more recent ones are created. The files are also not always created on the same day, so the solution needs to be flexible enough to not refer to a specific day of the week or anything.
Macro open an excel file based on the latest date found in filename.

I need to enter a revision string into a file.
Basically, I need to combine the filename and its generation time and then encode it into a string (i.e. a 6 digits HEX code or 6 digits using [0-9][a-z][A-Z]) so it would generate a pretty much unique revision number.
So, is there any function that you can think of that would do something similar?
If not, what is the best to tackle this?
Generate a CRC or md5sum?
What would be in your opinion a quick and efficient way to solve this tricky one?

I have an Excel sheet with about 1,000 rows. Each row has an origin and destination column. Now I need a code that opens a specific website and goes to a specific tab and then search for the origin and destination fields queries. The code then takes each row and place them in the search query. The result from each row can result a valid connection between an origin and a destination OR no connection exists. So simply if connection is successful, the code simply returns "yes" otherwise "no".
I can open the website from Excel, but what I need to click on specific tab where I do my searches. One of the problems I am facing is that when I try to click on the tab I need I get the message that I must use Internet Explorer or Chrome or Mozilla. Although Excel uses Internet Explorer to open the website. I am not sure why this error.
Attached you will find the following:
1 - Few data rows that we need to run the loop on.
2 - A snapshot of the website that we need to input the data from the rows (FOLLOW LINK)
3 A snapshot to show you the tab ("Ocean Schedule") that we need to access after we open the main website in vba. (FOLLOW LINK)

I have a sticky problem. I have a spreadsheet set up that counts almost everything I do at work, and I would like to input the exact time I receive a call and have the spreadsheet break it down into time periods, e.g., 8-10, 10-12, 12-2, etc., to count what time of day I get most of my calls and sales. In other words, I want the sheet to read the time I input and count it as part of a specific time period, and then count the number of calls taken and sales made from those calls. I can easily compute my closing percentage when I get those numbers. Also, since I have all the days of the month on the same spreadsheet, would it be possible to break them down by day (range)?
I can see where knowing how to do this could come in handy for other projects as well.
no VBA. I play with it at home, but I also struggle with it mightily.

I am making a template for our security kiosk log and I wanted to simplify it as much as possible. I found the "time mask entry" and imputed that into the vba code. It was working for awhile however stopped working a few days ago. I went back and copied and pasted it again and changed the range to what I needed and an error came up stating "unable to set the NumberFormat property to the range class."
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim vVal
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
With Target
vVal = Format(.Value, "0000")
If IsNumeric(vVal) And Len(vVal) = 4 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Value = Left(vVal, 2) & ":" & Right(vVal, 2)
.NumberFormat = "[h]:mm"
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

What I am doing is creating a spreadsheet solution to tack race times. These show up in past performances in the following formats in paper copies: 45 2/5 seconds. The end user would have to put in maybe 30 of these times based on the number of contestants. Keeping in mind that the 45 2/5 number will be used in some calculations, I want to give the user the easiest input interface. Meaning instead of inputting like this; 0:45.4 (mm:ss/00 format), I would like them to just enter 45.4. the spreadsheet would input format this cell into a time format that would be able to have calculations done to it. Another example might be 1:35.60 (mm:ss.00 format) which is 1 minute 35 and 3/5 seconds. This would be entered as 135.6.
A few questions first:
1) Would it be easier to leave the number inputed alone until the calculations ar finished then translate into a time factor?
or
2) would it be necessary to convert into a time factor as inputted be cause of the 60 factor involved with the time factor?
Having asked those questions, setting this all up with the exact scope I am working towards, any help or sugesstions as to the best way to proceed would be fantastic!

I need to input a future date and time into one cell. For example, if I have a member ship that ends on October 20th at 3:00 pm exactly the kind of format you get when you enter the function "NOW". I would like to put that into one cell and then be able to add and subtract from it.
For example I would like to do something like this, if I had inputed the date and time in A1:
"=Now-A1", it would be cool if I can get the remaining hours or minutes along with how many days are left but not completely needed.
It would also be beneficial if I can drill down further and do it by time zone as well.

what I want. It relies on an input box asking the user to enter a part code, which when found creates a duplicate copy. However, if the user enters a part that doesn't exist I get a run-time error. Can anybody point me in the right direction so when a user enters an incorrect part they get a message telling them it doesn't exist.
Private Sub SortTest_Click()
Dim s As String
Dim r As Excel. Range
Range("A2").Activate
s = InputBox("Enter the number you wish to find")
If StrPtr(s) = 0 Then
MsgBox "You must enter an existing part number!"
Else
Set r = Cells.Find(What:=s, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
Range(Cells(r.Row, "A"), Cells(r.Row, "AH")).Copy
Sheets("APL").Cells(r.Row, "A").Insert Shift:=xlDown
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.Goto Sheets("APL").Cells(r.Row, "H")
Selection.Offset(-1, -5).ClearContents
Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Select

Can i put into the cells B38-AF38, that would display the sum of B20:AF20 + B24:AF24 + B28:AF28 + B32:AF32 +B36:AF36 in a h:mm format.
When imputing the data into a cell in a h:mm format, I need it to display in that cell and formula bar the h:mm format without having to put an apostrophe in front of "h" or ":mm" value. Once complete, this form is going to go to other trainers to use on their computers and I dont think they would remember to keep putting an apostrophe before the data.
Example:
B20= 1:15 (1h15m) NOT 1:15:00 AM
B24= :30 (30min)
B28= :45 (45min)
B32= 1:45 (1h45m) NOT 1:45:00 AM
B38= 4:15 (4h15min)
I have attached a copy of the form for better clarification.
It doesnt seem to be complicated, but it's certainly a lot more than I thought.
