Copy Paste Certain Sections From Multiple Excel Files?
Aug 14, 2014
I have one master excel file (masterexcel.xlsx) and 100 small excel files. The small excel files are saved as M30.xlsx, M31.xlsx, M32.xlsx, M33.xlsx, M34.xlsx....
I want to open the M30 file, copy a certain section and paste it into the master excel file, close the M30 file whilst saving the new information in a file called recording. Then open the next file which is M31, copy a certain section and paste it into the master excel file, close the M31 file and then open m32 and so on....
How do I create a loop for the files so it automatically opens the files in the order M30, M31, M32.......and performs the aforementioned actions.
I have attempted the following for m30 but i need to make it a loop for m31, m32, m33, m34, 35 and so on....
I have 8 different files all have a set of data in them
each one has a long list of (column a-n) however the number of rows change by date. I need each file copied into the finalfile.xls one after another. in the files that will be merged into the final file the final row i need copied is blank. I have all the copy formulas and everything set, I just need a range to copy that automaticaly takes cell a10 to the first blank a cell from each file and pastes it in the finalfile.xls under the last paste so they dont over write each other.
I am trying to combine 60 separate excel files into one main file. I've been opening each file copying it then pasting it into the main file.However, this is getting tiresome.
For the last year I have been downloading cash register X1 and Z1 files onto an SD card. Each night's files (X1 & Z1) are stored in a new folder with the naming convention "RP + [DATE]", (EX: RP120910, [YYMMDD]). I have 265 folders! I need to go through each folder, select the Z1 file (I don't care about the X1, X2 or Z2 files) and rename each with the following naming convention: "Z1 + folder_name + .xls". For Example: Folder RP120910 contains the Z1 file named "Z1_T1729.ECR". After renaming, the file should be "Z1RP120910.xls". As the VBA code loops through each subfolder, selecting and renaming the Z1 files, I would like the new files to be placed into a new folder named "Z1Files". Note: All subfolders are currently in a directory named "RegisterFiles". I am using Excel 2010.
for my school project, I am right now doing time tracking for all of my activities throughout the day with excel. Here is basically what I am doing: For everything I do, I record and put in start time and end time for the activity.(I use simple formula to subtract these twos) If my day goes on like study, break, study, meal, study, break and each activity takes one hour for each, I have total of 3 hours studying, 2 hours taking break and one hour for meal. I am using pivot table to show all totals for each activity.
Pivot table is working best as far as my knowledge goes as I can choose and look up total of multiple activity combined. The problem here is I am making one sheet per a day and I need to continue this for three months. (So that seems like 90 worksheet). What I was thinking is I make Sheet 1 as master sheet. Then, copy and paste the entire sheet for 90 sheets assuming all formulas including pivot table go along with them. then, when I put in new data to other sheet,magic happens and values in pivot tables will change relatively after refresh. You might be probably laughing hard at me right now. I know..I tried it for like 3 sheets. Simple formula to subtract endtime and start time still work accordingly with new data. But, Pivotal table is playing dead at all.
I researched and found that that might be problem with reference and absolute cell reference thingy. ( to make pivotal table work for different worksheet). All the cells used ( including column and row ) will be entirely the same for all worksheets. The only difference aka problem is different sheet. I want to use sheet 1 as a template and copy it down to next 90 sheets taking all contents except data. Is there anyway I can copy and paste the whole template to another 90 sheets while making pivot table work and calculate and update itself according to relative data from each own worksheet? I use excel 2007 btw
how I can loop through folders to select files starting with a certain word and copy all of them to a different folder and rename them. The folder structure is given below
Company 1(parent folder) North South East(sub folder) West(sub folder) Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec
In the above structure, the files are present inside each folders Jan, feb...Dec under the regions North, South East n west. note that I have to select files starting with "Sales" and copy them into a new folder(say results) and rename copied files as Sales1.xls, Sales2.xls etc. (Files are not present in the folder company1, north, south, east and east.)
I need to back up files, which may be excel or MSword, by copying them from different directories, say C: to the backup directory, say X:. any vba to backup the files? I expect the vba can copy all file listed in column A.
E.g. C: est1File1.xls or C: est2File2.doc, and then pasted to the directory in column B. e.g. X:BackupFolder1 or X:BackupFolder2.
I have a workbook in which i do not want the end user to be able to drag and drop cells. I noticed that when I set this in the Excel options to disallow this, it is local to the machine. Is there a way I can prevent others from dragging and dropping cells, through vba or other means, without changing the users local machine settings? I also need to prevent CUT and pasting of cells. I also need to leave the cells un-protected, becuase COPY and paste is ok, as it doesnt affect the formulas that refer to the cell. The worksheet and workbook are both protected.
i have 7 columns from A to E of horse racing data.
Col A is Date, B is Time, C is number of horses in the race, D is the result placing E is the Odds
The data is in Date order and then by time then by order of place eg 1st 2nd 3rd etc
I am trying to sort the data by Odds for each race
Pseudo code would be;
Read Cell C2 (the start of the data) to determine the number of runners (example answer 10) Select range Rows A2:A12 (10 rows from data in C2) Sort Selection by column E[code]...
I wish the above pseudo code works as it seems so simple
I want to search for some text in a file. If found, I want to copy that file into another folder. I'm using the code below to do half the job.
Sub test() With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch .LookIn = "C:Documents and SettingscDesktop1" .SearchSubFolders = True .Filename = "*.htm" .TextOrProperty = "Status Rekod" .MatchAllWordForms = True .FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles If .Execute() > 0 Then For I = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count 'I want to use the FileCopy function here to copy the found files to 'C:Documents and SettingscDesktop est. How do I do this? Next I Else MsgBox "There were no files found." End If End With End Sub
I need a Excel VB Macro which copies specific ranges from all available Excel workbooks in a Folder and pastes the values in a target Excel workbook in different columns. In other words it would copy Cells F4-F15 from all excel files (say 20) in a folder and paste them in the target Excel file in 20 columns.
I want to convert multiple sections that contains formulas to values. Usually i did this by coping range of cells, and paste as Values. But now i have multilple sections and excel doesn't allowe me to copy multiple sections. (i can not use clipboard, because there are more than 2.5 k rows)
Is there a way to copy then paste specific cells from closed .xls files in one directory ( more than 500 files ), and how, if all files are with one known password protection( my own files ).
1. For a file moving from one cell to the next, down the column, get the values and seach for the values in file number two.
2. If that value is found, copy a cell from file 1 to a cell of a column on the same row where the value was found on.
3. Do what was done on number two, but with a different column.
this is what i have so far...
Sub replace() ' ' Macro2 created by david '
' for the entire sheet, moving from one cell to the next down the column, changing rows ' search for the contents in another sheet, and then if that is found, ' copy the row number to a variable, and then ' copy column K from sheet 1 to column N of sheet 2, using the same variable above ' after that same, but L goes to P. ' ' Windows("file1.xls").Activate Rng = Selection.Rows.Count Dim toFind As String ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).Select Application. ScreenUpdating = False Dim i As Integer For i = 1 To Rng Windows("file1.xls").Activate toFind = Range("A + i") Windows("file2.xls").Activate
I am trying to rank records from multiple sections of a single array. Since there are over 100 sections I want to use a formula. Using the MATCH function I have the first row for each section of the array (Col D below). The psuedo code of what I'm trying to do is:
RANK(B1,Bfirst row of section:Bfirst row of next section -1)
Example (results in Column C):
A B C D 1 West 100 3 1 2 West 150 1 4 3 West 125 2 4 East 50 3 5 East 75 2 5 East 140 1
I will also need to increment the section as I complete each section of the array. Am I trying to do too much in a single cell??
I have a requirement to create a master spreadsheet using a macro to copy set cells from several other spreadsheets and paste them into the master one in a list for accounting purposes.
So far the macro reads in the spreadsheet filename(s) and copy/pastes the cells to the master one - I need to be able to paste the values onto subsequent rows for each input sheet which is where my problems lies. Currently the row just pasted in is overwritten over by the following one, I need to go to the next row down but am stuck on how to do it.
Sub EmployeeExp() ' ' EmployeeExp Macro ' Macro recorded 12/02/2008 by eugene.cross ' Dim i As Integer Dim f As String
I've attached an example master output sheet to show what I want to produce, albeit this has only one row!
I am using Excel 2010 64-bit (with SP2 and all other updates installed).
I have a worksheet where some cells have a yellow background, based on conditional formatting of what is in column A. (Note that data in column A changes, so the row can sometimes be yellow and sometimes be white.)
I need to sort this worksheet as follows:
1. By background color, so yellow is on top, white is on bottom. 2. Then, within the yellow rows, data in column J. 3. Then, within the white rows, data in column A.
Currently, I do this manually by sorting the entire worksheet by column A, then selecting only those rows that are yellow and sorting by column J.
Is there a way to combine these steps, perhaps with a macro?
I initially thought to make each "background color" its own table, but since column A can change and thus the background color of a row can change, I need to be able to have rows move from yellow section to white section. I don't think having two separate tables allows that.
I have a macro that transfers (copy/paste) information from one master file to several other individual files. The macro works, but I would like to enhance it by have it spit out errors in the process as follows: if cell A42 on file VP1.xls is not equal to Cell C35 on file Masterfile.xls then make cell E2 ERROR and fomat E2 bold-red, otherwise do nothing. The macro should continue regardless, I just want it to spot errors. I think this is pretty simple is just a matter of inserting an IF formula in the macro which is something i don't know how to do yet.
I would like to implement specific cell ranges from two specific worksheets each within 33 workbooks (which all have several tabs) into a summary page in a separate workbook.
The cell ranges are going across my spreadsheet in rows and I would like for them to transpose into a columns depending on the data which I have separated by catergory on the summary page. They are all on the same location in each workbook which is separated by country. The cell ranges are E26:P37 and I would like to transpose them and have them put below eachother without overwriting for my format on the summary page, how I can put this together in a macro?
I am setting up a template to use to track candidates throughout their lifecycle. I am also creating a 'summary report' on another worksheet that counts total number of candidates, counts the number of candidates that have been submitted to the client, count of the number of candidates that have been interviewed by the client, etc.
How do I count the number of candidates in the spreadsheet?
In Cells A6:B5, I have "Submitted" In Cells A7-?? I have dates for those candidates that have been submitted. Then a new section titled, "In Process" A list of candidates are contained within that section. Then a new section titled, "For Review" etc.
There are multiple sections, so the date in Column A1 may not always be in a constant row, as it depends on how many candidates are within a certain 'phase'.
I have a column I5, titled "Status" This column has a built in drop-down list that contains pre-defined status, for example, "Submitted", "Candidate Declined", "2nd Message Sent", etc. I need to be able to create a summary report based on a count of candidates that fit certain 'Statuses'. For example, count the number of candidates that were Interviewed. This could be a combination of Statuses: Phone screen with client, 1st F2F, 2nd F2F, etc.
(At home, I am using Excel 2003. At work, I am using Excel 2007. So if it's easier to create in Excel 2007, that's fine.)
way to take the data from a specific cell that is in the sheet1from every file and put those result in the A2,A3,A4,... cells in the sheet1 of new excel file.
I want to know if its possible to write a macro that will prompt me to open a document, then once open it will copy data and paste it into the working spreadsheet. I have a mini macro that cuts and pastes data elsewhere in the sheet but at present I am manually opening a file then copying all and then pasteing the data which is rather slow.
I have multiple workbooks in a directory and I need to copy a range of cells from 1 particular worksheet in each workbook and paste the data into the " consolidation workbook (Lar.xls)" that contains the macro I'm working on. I have found the code to open & close all of the workbooks and I can even get to the particular sheet in the workbooks but I cannot select and copy the range of cells that I need (I cannot get it to select any specific cell on the worksheet). Here's the code I'm using, have tried many different variations with the same problem.
Sub RunCodeOnAllXLSFiles() Dim lCount As Long Dim wbResults As Workbook Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook Application. ScreenUpdating = False Application.DisplayAlerts = False Application.EnableEvents = False On Error Resume Next Set wbCodeBook = ThisWorkbook With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch 'Change path to suit .LookIn = "C:Temp1" .FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks '.Filename = " Book*.xls"................................
I've got several worksheets that all have the exact same layout that a user will enter unique information in to each worksheet. Then I've got a final worksheet that I want to have a button that the user can click and when they do, it will look to each worksheet and do the exact same process for each worksheet as follows:
It first looks to see if the worksheet is visible. If it is, I want it to copy the range A5 to K5 down until it gets to the last non-blank cell in column C. The first non blank cell that will be referenced will be C7. Then I want it to paste this information into the range A5:K5 on the final sheet named Sheet8 with the same values and keep cell formatting such as width and height, font. If the worksheet is not visible, it skips the sheet.
I want it to do this for each visible worksheet, placing the next visible worksheet info under the previous visible worksheet info. My current code as shown doesn't do that. It requires that something be inSheet8 A6 before it will even paste, then it pastes the info from A5:K5 but it doesn't do just the values nor does it keep the formatting. What I mean about not doing just the values is some of the info that needs to be copied comes from a drop down they can choose from and it copies the actual drop down menu. Also, it seems to copy all of the ranges from each sheet and paste it into just A5:K5 on Sheet8 and overwrites each other instead of pasting Sheet2 just below the information from Sheet1. So the only information shown after the entire process is completed is the information from the last visible sheet.
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Visible = True Then Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A5:K5"), Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C7").End(xlDown)).Copy Sheets("Sheet8").Range("A5").End(xlDown) End If
I have created a Macro that lists and creates links of all the Excel Documents in a Directory (500+). I would like to extract from each of those files data from a single cell on a certain sheet. (The sheet and cell are the same in each of these files). The code I have written opens each of these files, copies the data and pastes the value in the column next to each sheet. This is a very time consuming task because of the shear volume. I feel that there is a better way to do this, I'm just not seeing it. If you could come up with a way to create this as a reference that would be great too instead of having to rebuild the entire list if the data changes. Here is the code I have written.
Sub Test2() ' Select cell A1, *first line of data*. Range("A1").Select ' Set Do loop to stop when an empty cell is reached. Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True Sheets("Contact Information").Activate ActiveSheet.Range("B8").Select Selection.Copy ActiveWindow.Close ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select PasteSpecial zlPasteValues ActiveCell.Offset(1, -1).Select Loop End Sub
I have 10 file in a folder and in that there is address, pone and other detail of employees in these sheets it will be static from D3 - D13 rows. Which is of below format:
Original format Name Address1 Address2 Phone Sex etc..
I want to the above data to populate from these 10 sheets to one sheet (new workbook) as columns as below format :
Sl.#, Name, Address1, Address2, Phone, Sex etc...
I want to write an macro to achieve this. Please let me know your views to achieve this functionality.
I receive a daily bath of 6 files (for now lets calls them 1.csv, 2.csv 3.csv etc...)
I have to manually open these select all the data and then paste them into a single worksheet in a different xls file (called master.xls).
I am trying to figure out some vba that will open each .csv file, copy the data and append to the end of worksheet 1 in master.xls. Ideally i would also like it to paste the name of the .csv it has copied the data to in column A of master.xls
Also, the .csv files will not always contain data, occasionally some will be blank.
Both .csv and master.xls will be stored in the same folder.
I have a spreadsheet with sales information contained in Sheet1. There are a number of columns including the Region column. I would like a bit of code that exports sales information to a number of Excel files dependent upon the region column. In other words the Region column can contain either North, East, South or West. I would like a different Excel file per region and I'd also like the file names to contain the name of the region + the month and year of the previous month ie if i was exporting today then the North Excel file would be called: "North Sales - Jan 2013".
