in column B I would like to see just the filenames:
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
file4.txt
How can I achieve this? On the internet I found this forumule which looks promising but unfortunately finds the first slash (instead of the last) and prints what's to the right of that slash:
I have a directory structure with a folder in drive C:, this folder contains a varying number of subfolders each containig one file (.xls extension). I wish to populate a ListBox with the filenames only (not the full path) of all the files contained in all of these subfolders. I know how to populate the ListBox with the file names of a given folder, but in this case the user is not aware of the number of subfolders or their names.
I have a problem with paths and filenames with spaces. If the the excel file containing the macro file is opened from explorer rather than from within excel, the path is incorrect. Therefore I use the following
Dim varPath As String varPath = ThisWorkbook.Path ChDir varPath
I can then later call either varPath or the VBA GetCurDir and it will be correctly set.
However, when I call a Shell function as in the example:
Dim varPath As String Dim fPath As String varPath = ThisWorkbook.Path ChDir varPath fPath = varPath & " emp" MsgBox fPath & "test.bat" Shell fPath & "test.bat"
I get the message box: e:local data tables emp est.bat I get the error: Runtime Error 5, Invalid procedure call or argument.
Without having to rename the path structure so that it doesn't have spaces (which isn't always possible), how can I get this to work?
Private Sub cmdImport_Click() Dim exportFile As String exportFile = "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_" & Format( Date, "dd-mm-yy") + "_" + Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss") & ".csv" Open exportFile For Output As #1
I put a watch on exportFile and it's correctly set to: "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_15-02-07_17:55:01.csv"
However if I try to run this I get "bad file name or numer" when I open for output - the path exists and I can write to it, so must have a fundamentally wrong approach.
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:
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 have a file which is kept on the C Drive. Each day, a different excel file is downloaded to a usb memory stick. The first file reads data from this file. The problem is, the drive letter keeps changing from E to F and the macro then crashes out.
The file on the memory stick always has the same name, so is there a macro to find the drive letter of this file and then use it in my existing macro?
If you have a workbook or a template open you can find out the full path of the file from the .FullPath property. My problem is that when a user double-clicks my .xlt file (to create a new workbook based on it), I want the code in the Workbook_Open event to be able to tell the full path of the template it was created from (because the code will later go on to save the new workbook under a date related filename in the same directory that the template was located in). I haven't been able to find a property that gives me any clue as to the location of the template this new workbook is based on.
In Windows 98 for example when you created a Customised Toolbar and attached macros to it a file was created with the user name followed by 8.
i.e. timbo8
You could copy this file and keep it was a backup in case you lost the toolbar/s. Which invariably happened whn someone else logged onto your pc. When the company transferred over to Windows 2000 this file was called something else I thing it ended in a .xla extension but I don't know what it was called or where it it located.
The file will the same file (ABC.xls) BUT the user might want to change it by typing a new name & Extension in the first Inputbox.
2. A second InputBox (Drive & Path) should now Pop-up.
If it will be left empty - the search should take place throughout ALL the installed HDs.
If the user decides to minimize the search range he/she will type a Drive & Path, the search should reduce/constrain itself to the specific Path ONLY.
My task is to show its Path location in a MsgBox (or to show "file not found")
It might be a good idea if the code can be extended beyond presenting the Path to: 1. Open the Windows "Explorer" (or "My Computer") in the specific Path with the file being selected (marked).
2. Opening that file, in "Excel", upon finding it.
A 3 section, VBA, code will be more than appreciated.
Our business has a spreadsheet set up for invoicing. A Macro has been created to increase the invoice number, save to the desktop as a PDF with a file name taken from the cells
This is working on my colleagues mac but when we've loaded onto my computer it errors, when I debug I am getting the following error:
I am using an XY scatter chart that displays the planned path and an actual path as I go. The planned path is set up in 100' increments and goes 12000' and actual path varies along the way.
My data that I use is the Northing (ft), Easting (ft) and Vertical Section (ft) for both the planned path and actual path.
I was wondering if there was an east way to get that information from the chart or if there is a formula that would allow me to calculate distance between the two points by using the data I use for my chart.
Need to querry various .xls files for various data values in column A.
The directories will stay static, subfolders will be dynamic. Is there a way to querry through the ever varying subfolders and search for BOM.xls / BOM2.xls files? Searching Column A?
I have the following code (that I borrowed) and was using it to export some worksheets to a new workbook. It worked fine for about 4 times, now it says it can't find the file path and stops on the "MkDir FolderName" line.
I have a problem with getting the list of files in subfolders. this code is writing the names of files in a folder to column "A". But it is just "target" folder. But i need to get the name of all files not just under the target folder but also subfolders of target and even subfolders of subfolders of target
VB: Dim FSO As Object Dim SourceFolder As Object Dim FileItem As Object [code]....
I have a code that will write all filenames in a selected folder and all subfolders in a list. The problem is that when i open a folder with about 5000 files in only 187 are visible in the list. You could see that the program writes all filenames but it writes everyting in the first 187 columns over and over again. Here is the
I am totally new to both EXcel 2007 and Programming however i would really like to create a main folder using coloum A and then a subfolder within the main folder just created using coloum B.
I have looked on line and found some code but when i put/assign the code to a button it never appears to work.
I am looking for a macro that will list all subfolders (all levels) within a directory and count files in each of those subfolders. No file names, just number of files contained in each folder.
I'm using this piece of code to go through Folders and their Subfolders. It works quite well in going through the first folder and its sub's but does not seem to generate a full list.
I am looking for specific files in these folders, and depending in what folder I place the file, it may or may not detect it. I require the code to go at least 3 levels deep (sometimes more).
FolderName = "C: est folder" ProcessFiles FolderName, "*.xls"
Code: '~~> This function was taken from '~~> http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=245 Sub ProcessFiles(strFolder As String, strFilePattern As String) Dim strFileName As String, strFolders() As String Dim i As Long, iFolderCount As Long
I tried to search for threads about opening files from multiple subfolders but the following codes does not open files. Could someone please check and edit the code that I have below:
Dim lCount As Long Dim wbResults As Workbook Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook
