I am having trouble getting a copy of current workbook to save (with a hopefully unique name) into a vba created folder. The folder creates fine on any drive that I have access to, but the workbook never turns up. The code is only an extract from the whole but it still fails in isolation.
Sub Macro1()
Copyit:
Dim fso
Dim fol As String
Dim flag As String
fol = "E:Excelb4macrobackups" ' change to match the folder path
Ans5 = MsgBox("Create Backup of " & ActiveWorkbook.Name & "?" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & " Backup File Path:" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & fol, vbYesNoCancel + vbExclamation)
If Ans5 = vbNo Then Exit Sub
If Ans5 = vbCancel Then MsgBox "Procedure Terminated!", vbExclamation: Exit Sub.........
I have a Workbook that is located in a Networked Folder and is used by several people every day. The Workbook has a lot of VBA and also has links to other workbooks. I am noticing that over time there are several extra files being created from this excel workbook, in the same folder. The Workbook is the only file in this folder. They are not associated with any program and are just a File Type. They are titled a series of 8 random Letters and Numbers and range is size from 700 KB to about 1 MB (Slightly smaller then the Workbook file size).
Also, Is possible to automatically delete these files when they are not needed? or better yet is there some way to Prevent these files from being created in the first place?
I have up to 50 workbooks in one folder with data in a specific range. I also have one workbook which includes additional data, including conditional formatting and dropdowns. I need to copy the desired range from the first workbook in the source folder to the second workbook, then save the latter to my destination folder, using the same name as the first. I need to repeat this process for all workbooks in the source folder.
My code in the first workbook generates a new workbook with a variable in the filename, then copies the cells from the first workbook to the newly created workbook. This code is working properly when used in a draft worksheet I use for testing. As soon as I put it in the master file, an error message pops up "Runtime error 1004 : select method of range class failed". Then the debug sends me to the line " Cells.Select ". What should I be looking for, why does my code work on one file but when i put it in another one it doesn't ?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim line_counter As Long Dim prm_line_value As Boolean prm_line_value = False Do prm_line_value = Sheets("Rate").Cells(1 + line_counter, 1).Value line_counter = line_counter + 1 Loop Until prm_line_value = False line_counter = line_counter - 1 Dim Wk As Workbook Dim number_of_new_wb_needed As Integer If line_counter < 5000 Then.....................
I have been trying to edit a code which previously saved a copy in a new workbook to a specific folder/path. (Additionally it copies and clears some figures, but this is working as it should.)
However I would like the copy to be saved at the same location as the original workbook, regardless of the path the original workbook is saved.
I.e if I need to move the workbook containing the code to a new folder/location, when using the macro, the new copy should be stored in the same folder/location as the original one.
For now it is only saving the copy into "My Documents"
Code: Sub Macro1() ' ' Macro1 Macro ' Macro recorded 16-02-2009 by ceng '
I have the following macro set up to create a folder in a directory as per the contents of 2 cells
C2 = Folder name to be created B2= Date for previous working day
[code]....
I then have another macro that moves files into a specified folder within the same location ( I then manually move them into the folder the first macro created)
Is there a way I could get the files to move to the newly created folder without me having to do it manually.
I have a folder called 'Refresh'. Every week a new file is dropped into that folder. Instead of me placing that new file into my workbook, i would like my macro to just grab it. Is there a way for VB to grab the most recently created file that comes into my 'Refresh' Folder.
Example below is in my macro and when my peer is running this worksheet which has Workbook_Open() enabled in "ThisWorkbook", the outcome is that he can not successfully save this workbook because he doesn't have the folder and sub directory in his C: drive.
How do I code it such that in the event the user does not have the specified folder and sub-foldername, it will automatically create one for him and save it as "C:Spare PartsCritical ListStocking Status.xls".
How can I copy whole sheet (only value and format) in other close workbook next to used sheet if it is in the same folder (folder can be in Desktop in C or D)
I need to save an excel workbook when a "backup" button is pressed to a folder named "Backups". I want the name to be the "date" (09/07/2013) only and I want it to automatically overwrite anything previously saved for that day.
I've created a macro which copies the current tab to a new workbook (Book X):
[Code]....
I then manipulate the copied data in Book X. Once this is done I move the manipulated sheet back into original file
[Code] .......
The problem i'm having is I'd like to close the newly created Workbook X file once the macro has run but Workbook X is usually called Book2, Book4, Book7, Book32 etc.
Workbook X will always be the previous file if i use the ALT TAB shortcut.
I've created an add-in that runs a simple macro. The problem I have is that when I run the add-in it opens the workbook I originally created it from - is this what I should expect it to do? How do I stop this from happening?
Also, do I need to have the workbook from which I created the add in located in the same place on every machine I want to use the add in on? At the moment if I move the original workbook the add-in won't work.
I have the following code that creates a new workbook and names it after the value of a cell in another workbook. Another part of the macro will switch back and forth between the original workbook and the newly created workbook.
What is the best way to refer to new workbook? I'm familiar with the "workbooks "VARIABLE NAME".Activate" style but, the name of the new workbook will change every time the macro runs and I'm not sure how to refer to it.
the code below.
HTML Code: Sub MakeNewBook() Dim wB As Workbook Dim nPath As String
I have created a spreadsheet that I wish to save as a template. However, when the a new workbook is created from the template it needs to be saved as a Macro Enabled workbook not just a workbook which is the default. To achieve this I added the line 'thisworkbook.FileFormat=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled' to the 'beforesave' macro for the workbook. This works fine except that it makes saving the file as a template quite difficult.
How I can trap the first time a workbook created from a template using New is saved would be most useful.
I am trying to have the user hit a button and save the workbook in a newly created directory. Currently it creates the new workbook and the new directory with the correct names, however the workbook is not in the newly created directory.
I am creating 4 Sheets from a Main Sheet by Filtering Data based on different values in a fixed column, then the Filtered Rows are automatically pasted in the respective sheets. Then these 4 Sheets are creating another file.
The same thing done manually by Grouping the 4 SHeets and then Move Copy into a New workbook also makes the file heavier.
Everything works fine however though the data is not much the file is very heavy, so what do i do to make it of appropriate size ?
I am trying to write a simple macro to copy a drop down list I created in cell O2 and then paste in the same sheet. I need it to paste starting in cell A2 and then move to A4 and so on for every even row cell through A9778. I would also like it to keep a border around the cell. I can't find direction on how to tell it every even cell or defining x and then doing x + 1...
I have one folder in which 25 files is available and File name is , section - 1, section - 3, section - 3 etc till section - 25. I ran below macro to combine all workbook into one means inn new workwook total 25 sheets will be.
Sub Merge2MultiSheets() Dim wbDst As Workbook Dim wbSrc As Workbook
[Code]....
Above code is working correctly but problem is it's not merging by name. I mean in new workbook, first sheet's name should be section - 1, 2nd sheets name should be section - 2 but it's merging randomly.
Is it possible to have saved the same workbook name and that to have a prompt asking whether you want to replace or update the workbook??
eg. If update, it'll scan through the existed workbook & compare with the other workbook which you want to save, & add rows according or sum up the total for one of the cols.
I have a workbook with macro button to run some vba, if i want the button to disable when the user make copies of the workbook (date created is later than original wb saved time) what codes to add in the VBA?
what i assume is to add the time to a cell when the wb is saved, when the wb opens, it check for that cell if the same with the date created, if different, then disable the macro button.
i have as many as 100 workbooks in the same folder(such as "e:/data"),i should change the same address value in each workbook. first i write the code use "application.filesearch",but it can't run because it has removed FileSearch in excel 2007. i get the code below from Ron de Bruin
Sub test() Dim wbOpen As Workbook Dim ws As Worksheet Dim I As Long Dim myfiles() As String MyPath = "e:data" If Right(MyPath, 1) <> "" Then MyPath = MyPath & "" End If 'If there are no Excel files in the folder exit the sub FilesInPath = Dir(MyPath & "*.xl*") If FilesInPath = "" Then MsgBox "No files found" Exit Sub End If...................
I have a workbook that is located in a folder and i need to copy this folder into multi locations, i need a save as macro that will save the workbook back to the same folder location it was opened from, i have got the workbook file name that i wish to use in N6 of the workshee
VB code, recorded by macro, it is working, but I need create different workbooks with different names , this one create just one specific name here is the first problem , second would be for saving in desktop folder "Ataskaitos" here another because it just for my computer , on other computer directory would not be found and third , then I deleting existing sheet in workbook from there I run the macro and copy sheet to new workbook it asking if I sure want to delete that sheet, so I don't need asking that I just need to delete it
In a folder i have a large number of files all formatted the same but with different data in, basically what i want to do is have a mastersheet in each folder that when you run code it will open the first workbook, copy sheet 1 and paste it to sheet 1 in the mastersheet. then open the next workbook again copy sheet 1 find the next empty row in sheet 1 of the mastersheet and paste below, then basically repeat through all the files. There are changing number of files in the folder so it needs to be able to loop and open every workbook. at the moment the sheets are called ME1, ME2 etc etc and the mastersheet called mastersheet.
