I would like excel to create the folder C:/Bill if it doesn't already exist when I click save/save as option and save the workbook in it with a filename that is a combination of text/values in cells A1 and A2 on Sheet1. Better if the save as dialog box appears with this option selected so that I have to just click Save in the save as dialog box to save it in "C:/Bill".
View 9 RepliesWhen the user goes to File, Save As, I would like the filename to be populated from the contents of cells B2 and B3, i.e. 11/18/09-23. Is this possible? Also in the same code, can I specify that I want the destination folder to be K:Sheets?

I like to save the workbook based on content of cell A4 that contend a text string. After that saving another time with the contend of cell A4 plus cell A9 which contend the today() function. I am doing this because this workbook is constantly updated and a backup copy is done based on the date the file is save.
I'm trying to use the code below to paste special my first sheet to remove the formulas, then delete all other worksheets then save as a reference number (which is linked to the worksheet im saving) but I also need it to save in a specific folder.
Sub SaveAsCell()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Sheets("Cat Nos").Visible = True
Sheets("Supplier Info").Visible = True
Sheets("Codes").Visible = True
Sheets("Buyers").Visible = True.................................
I have the following codes in which I am to refer a file and folder to do some further processes.
myfilename = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntrymyfile1.xls"
folderPath = "C:Documents and settingsacsMy DocumentsEntry"
I want to enter these two paths in a sheet in my excel report file (For example, I am running the report from Report1.xls, in which there is a sheet name "Filepaths". In this,
in B5, I would like to enter the Filepath (B5 named as "FILEPATH")
in B6, I would like to enter the Folderpath (B6 named as "FOLDERPATH")
So that, if I am copying the folder to another area, I no need to change the code every time in the VBA editor. I can do changes in these cells and it will be taken as the path to run the code further.
I find, when performing a 'save as', xl puts in a default filename with a suffix (1), or (2), or (3) and so on, to the existing filename, after I have opened a file from MS Outlook. I had assumed it was because there was already an existing file in the default directory, and so it was creating another version, but no other files with the same name exist in the default directory being saved to, or on the remainder of my computer, so I don't understand why this occurs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a file that I want to name based on content in certain cells. I.e. "Q-(text from cell G1)-(text from cell B7)-Date(mm_dd_yy)". I want to be able to specify the location where I save this file each time I try to save it, but I want it to update the file's name if any of the parameters have changed.
I have some code generated that does just about everything right except that it automatically saves a version of the file in the folder where the original is located even though it also brings up the dialog box and allows me to save it in another location.
Basically, I want to fix the code below so that it doesn't save what appears to be a backup file each time. Should I be using some sort of savecopyas?
Code:
Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
'Add the quote # to the header
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = "Quote No. " & Range("G1").Value

I have created a separate SAVE button that when the user hits that button, it saves the file in a network drive using the current date as part of the save-file name. Ie: Sheet20070408.xls, Sheet20070409.xls, Sheet20070410.xls, and Sheet20070411.xls.
I am currently working out all the "idiot proof" safety features. My code looks something like this:
oldfilename = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
newfilename = "C:NetworkFolder" & format(date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=newfilename
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=oldfilename
Why am I saving it twice? When the user clicks SAVE, I want to save over the copy of the current sheet they use, even if they save it on their desktop, and then save it to the network drive. This way, if they keep a second copy in an easy to find location, it will save the data to that sheet as well. Just in case they forget to save on the current sheet. I need to be sure each copy of the file has the most up-to-date information, as well as save a copy for retention.
My question is this: Can I search a folder for an existing file name? If the user goes into the network drive to open an old file for retention and they click SAVE, I don't want to accidentally overwrite a file in the retention folder.
I am trying to populate a combo box with the filename from a given folder, ideally without showing their .xls extension if possible.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that I would like where you can just enter the date, then it builds a filename based on that.
Example. Filename I would like to load information from is
"C:EXMay 2009May 21,2009.xls"
The sheet is "Data" and the cell/row is A1
The Filename could be entered simply as
'C:ExMay 2009[May21,2009.xls]Data'!$A$1
But what I would like to do, is be able to generate a weeks worth of filenames from the date I entered.
I have one cell with the root directory (lets say A1)
A1 = C:EX
A2 = May
A3 = 21
A4 = 2009
So in cell A5 I would like to combine them all to load the information from that filename.
I tried to do something along the lines of
A5 = A1 + A2 + " " &A4 (etc etc), but that wasn't working at all.
The main reason for breaking them up is so that I could just increment the date to get a weeks worth of files.
Sorry that I'm very new in Excel VBA coder. And, for this topic, I don't even know how to start. I want to make a MS Excel database of a numerous files. This database must be consist of Filename, Location, and it's attribute (let's say updated date, size, hidden status)

I am building a macro and am just not figuring out how to do this. I am trying to create a new workbook, then give it a name. Simple right? Well, I have the format for the file name to be "mm-dd-yy Transmittal #.xlsx" but I can't figure out how to make the # part of that equation start as 1 but if the file already exists change it to 2, if that exists, change it to 3, and so on. Here's what I have so far:
Code:
Sub Transmittal()
Dim NewBook As Workbook
Dim MyPath As String
[Code]....
I don't think I'm allowed to do "x + 1" so that is probably where my problem is coming from.
I have run into a problem in a project where I know what the folder root of the file I would like to import into excel is, but I do not know the file name.
I would like to open a dialogue open where I can select the file I wish to import from the known root supplied and retain the file name as a string.
All solution I have read assume the full file root is know or file name is known but root is unknown

I'm sure this will be an easy question, but I've been searching for awhile and can't seem to find an answer. I'm trying to write code in VBA that will check if a directory within c:documents and settings...my documents exists, and then save a file to that directory. The problem is, I'm having trouble finding the my documents directory. Is there some object or property that I could use to find the my documents path? Note that the worksheet that I'll be working with is in a separate directory, and therefore neither activeworkbook.path nor thisworkbook.path would be an option.

I was wondering if there is a way to write a macro that will take an excel file that I have called Alldata and then have it copy the first two sheets to a new workbook named something else( FullSparameter_0) and then copy the name of the third and fourth sheet into the new FullSparameter_0 workbook and then copy column A-E from sheet dB Alldata.xls and paste it into the FullSparameter_0.xls workbook in the same dB sheet in the same spot. And do the same thing with the Phase Sheet. i know this sounds confusing, but im really new to the VBA stuff.
I just need 15 different files from the original Alldata.xls that will be named FullSparameter_0, FullSparameter_1, .., FullSparameter_14. but each file will have the same two first sheets, Setup Information and Cal Verification, and the same last two sheet names, dB and Phase, but then in the dB and phase sheets, it will copy over the next four columns of data. so in FullSparameter_0 it will have column A-E from sheet dB in Alldata.xls in the dB sheet in FullSparameter_0 (Same with the Phase Sheets). Then in FullSparameter_1 it will have column A and Columns F,G,H and I (for dB and Phase). In fullSparameter_2 it will have column A and then J,K,L and M. Each FullSparameter_X will have the exact same first two sheets and then the other columns for the last two sheets will be pasted into columns A-E in dB and Phase.
I have a monthly sales report with x amount of customers in a number of countries with an ABCDE mark. I have made a pivot table with ABCDE marks in rows and countries in Columns.
I have then grouped the countries into regions. Looks something like this: [URL]
If you can't see it look here: [URL]
Now my issue is that I have to compare many months of this kind of data to see movement. What I wanted to do was to display these changes but how do I do this without having to create 10 different pivot tables, and is there a way I can save the country groupings so I don't have to manually group the countries for every pivot table?
I am saving a .csv to a .xls and regardless of what method I use to save it in a macro there are quote marks around the filename in the dialog box. This only appears to happen if I start with a .csv as I have tested it with a .xls and there is no issue. I have tried using the following code so far.
