i would like to be able to move files from one folder to another then delete the original files.
I dont think im passsing the variables to the functions corectly.
In the code below I would like to add to move these files:
byemployee.csv
byposition.csv
status report.xls
bydepartment.csv
and if the file byband.csv exists, then move also otherwise ignore. I want to move to the folder Uploads which is also found under the variable MyPath
If it cannot be included in this code, then I have no problem with a new one.
Private Sub Exitbtn_Click()
Dim MyPath$, MyName$
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Call chooseView.hideSheets
'Save the file to this path and type file name

I have the following two folders located in my D Drive:
1. D:FilesData
2. D:FilesArchives
I have lots of files (.txt) in the first folder (D:FilesData) from which I need to move all the files whose first character is starting with _(underscore) to the second folder (D:FilesArchives).
I am trying to create a chart that will automatically expand to include additional rows. I have seen posts and examples of the kind of chart I am aiming for, but only showing one series… my chart needs to show several series and be able to add new ones in automatically. For example, I want to make a chart showing the Total Market, and each separate manufacturer, over 13 time periods. If a new manufacturer appears, I would like the chart to show it without having to manually change the source data. (see attached spreadsheet)

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 this code so far using Macro Recorder but i wanted to change a few parts which i am not too sure how to do:
Its basically supposed to look in specified folder for all files, move them to Main Workbook & rename them slightly
Sub getcsv()
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsSlimDesktopPositionsChartsAUDCADm1440.csv"
Sheets("AUDCADm1440").Select
Sheets("AUDCADm1440").Move After:=Workbooks("Position Risk Calc v9.8.xls"). _
Sheets(23)
End Sub............................
I am trying to develop an excel macro to accomplish the following:
-I have a master workbook for collecting data
-One folder will be used to dump excel files into; I don't know the filenames (other than "*.xls"), but I do know from which cells I will need to retreive data (they will be the same for all files)
1. I need to retrieve data from these excel files
2. After getting data from a file, it is then moved to another folder
3. Next the retreive data, then move is performed on the next excel file until there are none left in C:IN
Upon searching this forum, I found a way to open each of these files one by one (without having to know the filenames): Using a script to open unspecified file name
- For me, the obstacle seems to be not knowing how to do what I need to without knowing the filenames
- Again, the issue - retrieve data from these files, then rename/move these files
I m trying to delete all files in a specific folder?

Image2.jpg

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.
Is there a code that will search a pre-determined folder for all .xls files containing the word "Temp", and deleting those files?
Example:
In the root of drive M, I have several Excel files. Anytime one of the original tracking logs is opened, a temp file of that log is automatically created. I would like to automatically search the drive and delete all files containin the word "Temp".
I've attached a picture of the directory tree, in case that will help. The file will always be named "PO Response Tracking - Temp#######.xls", with ###### representing a series of either 5 or 6 numbers.
I would like my hyperlink destination to move with the original cell (like links do) if I insert or delete a row above. The destination is on a separate sheet within the same work book.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need a macro in a workbook to look at all the files in the same folder that have "*att*.xls" in the name and determine and copy from the range A15:W515 only the rows that have data in at least columns A, C and D. Each file will vary as to how many rows there will be and there are more than the files with "*att*.xls" in the folder. The data will be on the only worksheet in each file and the worksheet is named "G2WAttendee_xls" the data from all the files need to be copied to the file called "Consolidated webinar reports.xls" (I am using Excel 2003) and to a sheet called "Attendance Data" and added to the end of the last paste.
At the start of the macro the current file "Consolidated webinar report.xls" should be saved to a sub folder of the current directory and have the date saved added to the name. The sub folder is called "Completed reports". The data in the original file on worksheet "Attendance Data" should be deleted.
At the end of the process all the files that have had data copied from them should be moved to the sub folder "Attendance reports consolidated" (This could be done as each file is closed if that is easier).
I have headings in row 1 of the "Attendance Data" worksheet that match the headings in the various files in the folder (which will always be in row 14 of the individual "*att*.xls" files).
The folder with all the files and the "Consolidated webinar report.xls" file is at path "Z:P and S MEvaluationsWebinar series 2012-13TB".
I have an Excel Worksheet (let's call it "AA.xlsm") which uses VBA code to loop through column A, update column B with some results/values, and then (for each value in column A) SaveAs the worksheet into a different filename/path as a ".csv" type file.
My line of code for the SaveAs is as follows: Workbooks("AA.xlsm").SaveAs LEpath & CurrFldr, FileFormat:=xlCSV
My problem is that my original worksheet, AA.xlsm, gets closed whereas I need it to stay open/active after each SaveAs iteration.
I want to allow users to place files (.jpg, .tif, .pdf, .pps etc) into a network folder and then have my program open each file and display it for 30 seconds then close the file and the application before opening the next file.
1. Set up a loop to get a directory listing of the folder and write the listing to a text file.
2. Open up the text file and get the next filename in it
3. Open the file in the associated application
4. Wait for 30 seconds (or some period of time) and then close the file
5. Repeat steps 2-4
DoIt = 1
While DoIt = 1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for output as #1
Print #1, Files In Folder
Close #1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for input as #2
while not eof(2)
Line input #2, MyFile
Display MyFile on screen
Wait for 30 seconds
Close MyFile and MyApplication that opened it
wend
Close #2
I can get the directory listing just fine with no problems
I can open the files in the associated application just fine with no problems.
with closing the application after 30 seconds or some period of time.
I need some code that will allow me to easily send it a filename and it will know how to close the file and the application that opened it.
I have an Excel application (Excel 2003) which is stored in the default Program Files folder by the Installer; for example: c:program fileszxchello.xls. The problem I am running into is this file opens as Read Only in Vista and this is interfering with the running of the application. There is no problem opening the file normally in Windows XP.
I have been able to narrow down the cause of this to the User Account Control system in Vista - if I turn OFF User Account Control, the Excel file opens normally and my application functions normally. Is there another option to open the Excel file without turning OFF User Account Control because some users may find it unacceptable to turn OFF this security feature. Ofcourse, one option is to install the application in another location, outside the Program Folder, and the file would open normally, but the Packaging Wizard that I am using to package the application does not allow me to install the application in any other location and thus, the application installs in the Program Folder and I am running into this problem of the Exel file opening as Read Only. Is there a way out of this situation where I can open the file normally (not as Read Only)?
I is it possible to convert all comma separated text files in a single folder in to excel files. But the requirement is to have 2 sheets in each new file. first to be the full file - with all columns, and in the second sheet to keep only colum A B D G H K L M O P R S T V W from the first sheet. The second sheet name must be the same as the first one but without the first "wlist_" in the name.
One more thing. The third column in the second is called "COUL". there are short letters for colors in french
can they be converted with the sort in English like it goes:
NO = B
BA = W
RG = R
SO = P
JA = Y
BE = L
VE = GY
GR = G
VI = V
MA = BR
BJ = TA
OR = O
Here is a link to the both CSV and an example excel file with the end result. In this example i haven`t change the shorts for the colors. It takes me too much time with the find and replace function. And at the moment i`m really pushed from time.

I am writing a macro that copies a pdf from a temporary directory to a permanent directory. After the copy is complete, I want to delete the original file. Looking in Visual Basic Help, it appears that I need to create a FileSystemObject, but I have no idea what that means or how to do it. sDirectory is a string variable of the path of the file and sBatch is a string variable of the name of file. This isn't working.
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sDeleteFile = (sDirectory & sBatch)
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(sDeleteFile, True)
a.DeleteFile.sDeleteFile
My worksheet that will have duplicate data inserted into it. Once inserted I need to delete the new duplicate row and the row it duplicated. The attachment is a copy of what the data looks like with the first tab showing what it will look like with inserted data and the second tab is what I want it to look like at the end. I will not need the deleted data again so it does not need to be on a new sheet, that is just for an example. The name of the tabs will also be different so I want to be able to run it on any worksheet. This is the code I am using to find and delete the duplicate but I can't get it to delete the original. I used "First, MI, Last, and DOB" because those are the ones that won't be duplicated where others will. This is a list of about 15,000 entries. There should never be an incident where there is triplicate data but I can't say for sure.

I don't believe this is possible but I've been wrong before.. Is it at all possible to Kill the current workbook using VBA? I " saved as" in another location and do not wish to keep the current workbook.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it is possible to have a macro running that will automatically save a .csv file to specific location and close the file. I would like to have the macro running so that as the files are opened they will be automatically saved to this location.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a large worksheet with over 8,000 rows and about 5 columns. In several instances, I have several rows that are all exactly the same. It could be 2, 3, 4 or even more rows that are duplicate to one another.
I would like a macro that deletes ALL rows that are duplicates, including the original.
For example, let's say, rows 3, 4 & 5 are all exactly the same, I don't want to just delete rows 4 & 5, I want to delete row 3 as well!
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
'
Sheets("Bunker ROB").Select
Sheets("Bunker ROB").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
ActiveWorkbook.Path & Range("D3"), _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False

I am trying to create a way to easily maintain a list of outstanding checks. I am able to import cleared checks into the spread sheet but cannot find a way to compare the two lists and then delete the cleared checks off the original list.

All I have a macro that goes to a "Main" folder modifies the excel sheet and then saves. Is there a way to move that "Modified" sheet to the correct folder after?
All of the excel sheets are named like this:
Bldg _ Date
1130_2008-January
1200_2008-March
1300_2008-January
I need the Bldg # to be a folder.
So all of the Excel files are in this folder: C:Documents and Settingsu369875DesktopProject stuffTestin Save_AS
And then at the end of that I need the bldg Number from the front of the excel name. So for the first one : C:Documents and Settingsu369875DesktopProject stuffTestin Save_AS1130
Or I could even put that building # in the excel at lets say (A1) and grab from there if that would work..
Here is the macro I have as of now. It loops through all of the excels in the folder.
Main Macro (calls out Macro2 & Macro3)
vba to copy files (pdf / cad) from various source to destination folders. Column A will list the source of the PDF files, Column B with the file name, Column C with the destination folder. Column D with value Y or N with Y denoting Yes to Copy and No for No. I have like 30000 rows of data.

How can I modify it to open each file in the folder? I'm looking at several thousand files that need to be changed and put away in the correct folder.
(and I say almost because I had it and accidently ran it on my personal workbook and it deleted itself....
