Run Formatting Macro For Excel Filename That Changes Daily?
Oct 6, 2011
I have an access database where I export a file into excel on a daily basis. The file is saved to a different filename daily because I have added the date to the filename. My question is I have a formatting macro spreadsheet so when I export the file in access it will run the formatting macro in excel to format the sheet appropriately. How do I get the formatting macro to recognize to run if the excel file changes on a daily basis in vba?
This is what I have in the formatting macro:
Sub Auto_Open()
'
' AutoOpen Macro
ChDir "G:SD Forecast and PlanningShortages"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"G:SD Forecast and PlanningShortagesShopWorkingList10052011.xlsx"
How can I get the formatting macro to run on this file when the date changes constantly in the filename?

Problem I am having:
I want to import a csv file to an Excel workbook. The csv file name does not change, but the workbook which it is pasted into changes name every day (it has a filename which ends in todays date, and is updated daily).
Using the macro recorder I can get the process to work for today, but when as soon as I update the recipient files name the next day, the macro fails.
Code below:
' Sheets("MORCOM").Select
'Range("A5").Select
'Cells.Select
'Selection.ClearContents
'Range("A1").Select
'Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
[Code] .......

I'm on excel 2010 and I have a small group excel files I open everyday. Most of the files are static in name and location. I've got a macro created to open those files, which works fine with workbooks.open and the file path.
There are two report files I want to incorporate into my macro of workbooks to open. The files are created weekly and the files names have the following format: "Report Name (YYYY-MM-DD).xlsm". I don't want to use the file's last modified date because older files may get edited after the more recent ones are created. The files are also not always created on the same day, so the solution needs to be flexible enough to not refer to a specific day of the week or anything.
Macro open an excel file based on the latest date found in filename.

I would like a macro to be able to save 26 tabs within the one document to individual PDFs.Preferably I would like to be able to specify each time exactly which tabs get printed, because often I don't need to print all 26, just the first 10 or so.I would like each PDF to automatically be named with the value in cell E10 of each tab.E10 already has a formula to create its final value. It references cells from other tabs within the same document. Hopefully the fact that this cell has a formula in it won't affect my ability to use the resulting value as a 'save as' reference?I would like it if the PDFs save to the same location as the Excel sheet from which they're generated is located. The location of the excel sheet will change every three months, so I'd prefer not to specify a location with a specific filepath, as it will have changed by the time I run the macro again.
I am using Excel 2010.

I have a workbook I update from numerous sources every day. A few months ago I noticed some of my formatting started to disappear - a couple of borders were missing. a day or two later a couple of cells which had color were no longer colored. number formatting reverted to general so my percentages just showed up as decimals and my dollar values no longer had a $ or commas. Eventually - over the course of several weeks - all formatting in the document was completely gone. A couple of times throughout this process I tried replacing all the formatting, but as soon as I'd save the file, close it and open it back up whatever formatting related changes I had made would again disappear.
Eventually I went back a couple months and pulled an old file which still had its formatting and updated that instead. This worked fine... for about 2 months. three days ago I started noticing the same issues - a few borders disappeared in the file. two days ago a few more borders were gone and a couple of cells lost their color. yesterday and today it has gradually gotten worse again.

I have the following scenario:
Cell A1 shows a specific value (pivot table value), but same A1 cell value might change if pivot table is refreshed.
So I am trying to automatically copy A1 value to another cell but I need to keep track of each value when pivot table is refreshed.
I have been researching about =Value formula, but it does not work properly since A1 cell reference will change each time pivot table is refreshed.

I'd like to record a macro that allows me to take the current file "file.csv" and save it as "file.xlsx"
I can't get the variable right (just messing around in VBA to have it get the file name and save it as a different format (csv to xlsx)
I've tried:
Function GetFullName() As String GetFullName = ThisWorkbook.FullName End Function

I have some files with filenames like text-text-text-text.lastname.xlsm. When I go to save the file, Excel keeps removing the period between the last "-text" and "lastname". change the structured filenaming convention? So far, I've noticed that this seems to happen with .xlsm file extensions, but not with .xlsx file extensions.

Running Windows 7, Office/Excel 2007
I have a macro which performs some conditional formatting on a worksheet. Based on the value in cells in one column, if the value meets the criteria some simple formatting is performed (row is colored, font changes for that row etc).
The macro then calls a second macro which performs the same evaluation on the same cells from the same column. If the value meets the criteria (same as previously) it is supposed to change the value of the cell by 1/2.
Both macros work, however the 2nd macro also seems to remove all of the formatting, font changes, coloring etc that occurred from the first macro. I have had the first macro save the active workbook and close and have the 2nd macro re-open the file but it sill overwrites the formatting. If I do not have the 2nd macro run the format changes are saved. I have tried saving the file after the first macro runs with .xls and .xlsx extension and no luck.

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.

I'm using excel 2010, looking to import a .xls file to a tab from a web query. Herein lies the problem: the .xls file is named based on the current date. So for instance, xLfile03.05.14.xls. Which changes the next day to xLfile03.06.14.xls. This is not a local file but one on microsoft sharepoint. It's ONLY available through sharepoint.

The following code has been tested on Excel 2003 and Acrobat 8.0 Pro:
' This line of code specifies your directory as well as the cell or range which you want the filename to come from. As you can see, I have a specific cell with the range name "InvNbr" so that the macro knows to pull the filename from there. If you don't want to use a range name, just replace InvNbr with your cell reference, such as C4.
Filename = "C:Folder1SubFolder1" & ActiveSheet.Range("InvNbr").Value & ".pdf"
' This line of code sends the filename characters and the ENTER key to the active application. The "False" statement allows the macro to continue running without waiting for the keys to be processed.
SendKeys Filename & "{ENTER}", False
' This line of code calls the Adobe PDF printer and runs the conversion. To ensure that you replace this code correctly with your own PDF printer, simply record a macro to print to Adobe PDF and then copy and paste it here....

This auto run macro does not seems to run/repeat itself daily. I can't figure out why am I missing something? My end result should be that these reports run at the times listed on the macro every day 24/7. The spreadsheet will be on a computer that is never off.
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.OnTime TimeValue("8:00:00"), "AThirdshift"
Application.OnTime TimeValue("8:00:00"), "BThirdshift"
Application.OnTime TimeValue("8:00:00"), "CThirdshift"

I am trying to create a macro that would copy three cell values - Date, Amount, Rate (from Sheet1) and paste them into Sheet2 as values.
In addition, this macro will be run for each business day's file, which only has the 3 values only as of that date; I want Sheet2 to be updated on a daily basis with historical data from past days (when the macro was run) and pasted as values.
For example, if i run the macro today, it should copy Date, Amount & Rate from Sheet1 ('Data' tab in sample.xls) and paste them as values in the next row after yesterday's data in Sheet2 ('Historic data' tab in sample.xls).
Sample attached; what is the best way to do this?

I currently have an excel file that has two column and multiple rows - one of the column has a date - what I need to have happen is for possible a macro or something of the sort to check this excel file every day and take the date that is in the Date column B and add 60 days to it and put it in column C. It would also be nice if it could then put a reminder in outlook on that date that is in column C with the subject of what is in column A.

I need excel 2010 to automatically save at 09:30 and 19:45 every day monday-friday. Also need the file name saved to reflect the time and date it was saved - if possible.
My PC locks after 10 minutes of inactivity - unfortunately this has to happen because of where my PC is situated.

I have several macros that import several files.
I'd like to create one macro that runs all the other macros. The sample below works by running Import_01 and Import_02
Code:
Application.Run "'FY13 Budget Worksheet - 400 Student Affairs - BACKUP.xlsm'!Import_01"
Application.Run "'FY13 Budget Worksheet - 400 Student Affairs - BACKUP.xlsm'!Import_02"
The problem is this filename may change. I'd like to remove the reference to 'FY13 Budget Worksheet - 400 Student Affairs - BACKUP.xlsm' so that the above code will work should the user change the filename.

I have a macro as follows which allows me to select multiple images and it inserts them into excel. Firstly it deletes previous images.
It also increases the size of the rows to 250 and column to 100 to make the image size standard.
I have it skipping every second row which I intend to add the filename of the image.
What is it currently doing is adding the first filename (including path) in A5 and then not showing the next filenames.
I am using ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = PicList to generate the filename.
How to get the remaining names? Also I would only like the filename if possible and not the full path.
Sub InsertPictures()
Dim filename As Variant
Dim PicList() As Variant
Dim PicFormat As String
Dim Rng As Range
Dim sShape As Shape
Dim shp As Shape
[Code]...
Im sure my Macro is probably overkill for what I am trying to do however I have merged about 4 macros I have found together.

I have an excel 2007 file which contain a lot of macros. File size is 100MB. This file is not developed by myself, it's post in the webpage and let the members of the page to download on daily basis.. I've been downloading and using this file for over a year with no problem until this week.
Problem: During opening the file. There is a message box popped up, saying "Excel found unreadable content in filename.xlsm'. do you want to recover the contents of this workbook ? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes." When I click "yes", excel is trying to repair the file. Once it's done, I could see only the contents, however, all the macros are gone. When I copied this very same file and open in other notebooks, everything is working fine...
Assumption: Couple days ago, I was writing/testing macros in other workbooks and also opened this particular file. I might did something stupid which cause this problem...
During the same time, I used to have the same problem with another file. I solved it by copy and open with another PC then copy macros and paste it to the file on my notebook.

I have a shared workbook where 5-6 people could be updating the log sheet at any one time. The problem is a I have a macro that I would like to run to update ( cut n paste to different sheets, etc) that doesnt like running when the workbook is shared. What I currently do is have a button that when clicked - changes the document to exclusive, runs the macro, then changes back to shared. I was hoping I could run the macro on an worksheet event? But i'd like it to run only once - Possibly when its first opened for the day by anyone of the users.

I have an excel 2007 script that downloads daily stock data and prices. I do analysis and graph the data.
I would like to keep the download the same, but modify my analysis so as to obtain weekly and/or monthly data.
I am sure this is commonly done, and is not rocket science, but so far I am baffled as to the procedure / algorithm to do this.

I'm using Excel 2007 and am having an issue with grouping/ungrouping fields in pivot tables.
I have 2 separate pivot tables, both from the same named data source, but summarizing different data selections. Both tables include the date field, I am trying to produce both a daily and a monthly table, but whenever I change the grouping/ungrouping of the date field setting on one table, the other table changes to the same grouping.
Is there anyway to have one table with an ungrouped date field and one table with the grouped to month date field?

I want to set up daily charts to monitor various things but Im not sure how best to set up the data in order to do this so it calculates automatically as data is refreshed.
I want to run daily activity data that tells me how many people attend each room per day. the aggregated data would include:
Number of attendances, by room (there are 11 rooms), by day
Each attendance grouped by category of patient (up to 25 categories)
Each attendance by type of attendance (various groups)
How should I set up the data to show these things in a way that it can be linked to a text file and refreshed daily on opening? the data at the moment is in rows per attendance rather than grouped in any way.
I would like the data to have dates and months etc automatically genetared by the attendance date in order to graph the above indicators, as well as a % atttendance in relation to capacity per room etc
simple excel template that I could try to manipulate my data into so I can get started. The data is generates using a transact SQL query and saved as a text file which I wabt to use for the daily stats.
