I would like to list all files in a directory (display the full path) and make hyperlinks to all listed files at the same time.
I came accross the code below which works well for files in a directory:
Sub HyperlinksToDirectory()
' puts hyperlinks to each of the files in a directory of your choice
' into the active sheet starting at the active cell
Dim stDir As String
Dim stFile As String
Dim R As Range
Set R = ActiveCell
stDir = InputBox("Directory?", , Default:=CurDir())
stFile = Dir(stDir & "*.*")
Do Until stFile = ""
R.Hyperlinks.Add R, stDir & "" & stFile, , , stFile
Set R = R.Offset(1)
stFile = Dir()
Loop
R.CurrentRegion.Sort key1:=R, order1:=xlAscending, header:=xlNo
End Sub
This code is supposed to open a series of files through a list of hyperlinks, run a macro then save and close. But at the minute it says it cannot find the Macro and error's.
The macro is in each file named and is named 'RefreshStats', if I open a file seperately I can run the macro fine, but it can't find it through this looping code.
Another thing I found though, is that if I put a blank Module in the main workbook (that contains the list) and call this macro 'RefreshStats' the looping works fine but based on the blank macro. So this code seems to want to look in the workbook its in for the macro.
I need to make a Workbook that has hyperlinks in the first sheet that links to a cell in a second sheet and then back again. The only way I have been able to do this is manually create each link in each sheet. I am hoping that this process can be automated as they can not be 'filled' as far as I can see. find attached an example of what I am trying to achieve.

Here is a macro I have found and manipulated for my particular case. The problem is that I want to narrow the search criteria by just pdfs and only those starting with Segment which i know in coding would be something like "Segment" & "*" & ".pfd" or something to those terms but the code uses objects which I'm not too familiar with.
Code:
Sub ListAllFile()
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ws = Sheets("Simple Cut Lists (2)")

How do i set objFile to just pick up my criteria?
I have a folder containing many Excel files. Each is unique, and I wish to characterise them in a separate contents file in Excel. To do so, it would be very useful to populate a worksheet with the names of the files in the folder.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe use Excel 2003 and 2007 to track labor data for a field service company. The field tech's complete daily forms and the office staff copy/paste this data into weekly billing worksheets. They use naming conventions to show the jobs and dates in the file name (Daily Labor - Job1 - 031308.xls and Weekly Labor - week ending 3-16.xls. What I would like to do is link the daily data to the weekly forms as they come in. Is there some way to do this when the job names and the dates are always different? Can I tell Excel to expect data files based on the naming conventions as in the Weekly is named "Weekly Labor - Week Ending 3-16.xls so data files named LaborJob1310.csv, laborjob1311.csv would automatically update the weekly sheet? I can put these in a folder and link them, but I don't know how to provide an easy way to do this for the upcoming week.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a question about creating a custom drop down menu. In AutoCAD, I can create custom drop down menus that loads each time AutoCAD loads and i was wondering if excel have something similar. This menu would be added to the default menu list: "File_Edit_View_Insert_Format_Tools_Data...etc". I have searched online but i keep getting things about how to make drop down menus in cells but nothing about adding a main drop down menu.
What I want to do is create a menu with hyper links to all of the excel files we use quite often here at work.
I have already done this by just creating a sheet with a list of hyper links on it but would like to put it in a drop down menu instead if its possible.
I have the code below which I need to change so it lists the file names down the column on the active worksheet starting at Range("A110").
At the moment it insterts a new worksheet and list the file names starting at A2, also I do not need "The files found in " & objFolder.Name & "are:"
what the code under 'clean up' is doing.
VB:
Sub ListAllFile()
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder As Object

The following code is something that was developed to find files with certain criteria that matches references in cells A1 & A2. The coding is as follows:
Code:
Option Explicit
Option Compare Text 'for Case-Sensitive matching change Text to Binary
Sub List_Matches()
Dim sPattern As String, sPath As String, sJob As String
Dim sMainDir As String, sCommonSub As String
Dim c As Range, lRow As Long

The red is the area of the code i am having problems with. The original code was going to look only in one directory, now I wanted to add a second directory with reference located in E5. Now as is the program works fine looking at directory 1 or E4, but the problem i feel is that for E5 all the folder name are named "WO#_____ - ______". I believe the # sign is not allowing it to open that folder and search for the info. In the code there is a function for solving the # sign problem in a file name, but how could i either modify the code or the function to do the same for the folder name and view the # sign as a valid file name to open?
Say I have a list in column A

In VBA, how can I loop through the list and delete files from a certain folder. The list will vary in length from time to time.
Suppose i have a directory on my HD with 100 images. Now i want to show them all in one column (each in 1 cell),
View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried to write some VBA code to loop through all the files in a folder and return the name of the file. (In my current example, all the files are excel workbooks)
Here is the code I have used:
Sub Load_List()
Dim lCount As Long
Dim wbResults As Workbook
Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook
Set wbCodeBook = ThisWorkbook
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
'Change path to suit
.LookIn = "G:CFOMiddle OfficeDannyFine Tunning for JP"
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
However, when I tried to run the code, it give me the error message saying: the defined type of the variable are not been defined. Seems to me, that VBA dont have the variable type as Folder, or File.

View 2 Replies View RelatedEssentially, the Engineering Dept has given me 550 AutoCad files I have dumped into a folder located in this path: C:/DrawingsDump
From these 550 DWG files I need to manually filter and separate 260 drawings that I actually need to use and move them to a folder located in this path: C:/DrawingsFiltered . This manual filtering process takes a lot of time and is tedious work and it has got to be done everytime Engineering changes drawings because they are not kind enough to provide me a delta list.
In Excel 2003 I have setup a list of all 260 drawings I am interested in and that I call my filtered list. Is it possible to create a script that will enable Excel 2003 to compare my filtered list to all of the files inside C:/DrawingsDump, and then copy only those files that match to my Excel Filtered list and then paste only matching files into the C:/DrawingsFiltered folder?
If Excel 2003 can't handle this, is there a third party application that will let me perform a file management function like this with minimum startup time?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've found countless, very useful macros that do 1/3 of what i need. My needs:
1) A macro to look in a set network folder, and generate a list of Excel files, and display them (1 per row, just the file name if possible)
2) Each file name is a hyperlink to open that sheet
3) A macro to look at the file listed above, then list in the column B a value from a set cell. So it would ideally output:
1| RH0018.xls A1CellValue
2| RH0019.xls A1CellValue
3| RH0020.xls A1CellValue
How to make the list of file names through macro.
For example the Folder name is All file in which 60 files are there and I have a excel sheet named File List so I want to update the file names in excel through macro.
i'd like to be able to import a list of file names from a folder. sounds fairly straight forward to me, but example:
folder a has 10 files in it (let's say PDFs - numbered 1 through 10). I'd like to be able to open the spread sheet, and see the file names in column b. ideally, i'd also like subfolders to be listed, in the next column. but, let's start with just this.
I have a folder with 20 Excel files. I'm trying to create a master list of all the tab names. I can see all of the files opening, but it only copies some of the names.
VB:
Sub GetTabNames()
Dim wkBook1, wkBook2 As Workbook
Dim stFilePath1 As String
Dim FileList(1 To 18) As String
Dim iLoopSheet, iLoopProg As Integer
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
[Code] .....
I have a list of file names sans extension in column A. I want to search a folder I specify and if file is found create a hyperlink to said file either in a new cell or in column A.
The code I have does the search fine, but its hyperlinking is offset and I can’t get it to match the link to the file name.
Also it breaks if it can not find the file.
Here is the code...
I was wondering if anyone had any code to loop through every file in a folder and list the file name along with every sheet name in that file? I'm using Excel 2007.
