View 4 RepliesI need to back up files, which may be excel or MSword, by copying them from different directories, say C: to the backup directory, say X:. any vba to backup the files? I expect the vba can copy all file listed in column A.
E.g. C: est1File1.xls or C: est2File2.doc, and then pasted to the directory in column B. e.g. X:BackupFolder1 or X:BackupFolder2.
I'm looking to create a macro that does the following:
- Loops through a folder structure
- Opens a specific subfolder within each folder based on name (i.e. "*Financials*")
- Opens a specific file within that subfolder "*Financials*" based on both most recently modified a naming criteria (i.e. "*Model*")
- Performs an action on that file (a macro created elsewhere that I assume I can call here)
- Closes that file, and moves on to the next file matching the criteria above
As a self-diagnosed VBA novice, I'm having trouble adapting code found in various forums for my specific project.
I've found examples that address aspects of my desired macro or do similar things, but I can't figure out how to put them together.
Open most recent file:
[Code] .....
Loop through folders and subfolders and print all files:
[Code] ....
I have folders with different assigned folder icons based on the content in the folders.
I would like to arrange these folders in the window based on the assigned folder icons and then by alphabetical order.
How it is to be done. Can we make use of vba having the folders path list in one column of excel sheet?
macro and I think this has me on my way; however, I do not understand the code and I am having difficulty modifying it. It returns the path in cell $A1 of my workbook, but I get reference errors in $B1:$L1.
I would like for the code to start entering the values in row 2 of my current worksheet. Row 1 I want to make a header row. The first column I like having the file path. Can the path be changed to a hyperlink? I would then like for it to return the values in $AP1:$BC1 to $B1:$O1 of my current workbook.
I am attempting to create a macro that will create a new folder on the network drive Arie:quotes that will create the new folder and save the the file in the new folder. I need the name of the file and folder to be set to the master (worksheet) cell "B3". and then if possible have it be conditional that if cell "B40" on the same master (worksheet) has a value to have the value added at the end of the filename via hyphen. This workbook has numerous worksheets in it approx 15 worksheets. I am not sure if this is relevant.
As an brief example.
Cell "B3" on the master(worksheet) contains a job name I-40 bridge
So initially I would like the Folder name and file name to be I-40 Bridge
However once the Cell "B40" has been filled in with the value 54213 then I would like the file to renamed to I-40 Bridge-54213 and saved within the same folder.
I am currently working with Excel 2007 Pro edition on windows 8. I
I have found several other macro's that work with an auto save but i am unsure of how to change the directory to the network drive and show the correct file paths. This is the example of the macro I am currently working with.
Public Sub SaveAsA1()
ThisFile = Range("B3").ValueMkDir "C:NewFolder"ChDir "C:NewFolder"ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFileEnd Sub
I have managed to get this far - I have put together a macro (from different threads on this site) that opens closed workbooks, copies data in one of the sheets (same sheet in each of 28 books), and pastes the data it into a master book sheet, each paste starting below the last. So that bit is working. The first bit of help I need is a line of code that will make the macro loop through a number of sub folders in a main folder. My code at the moment works as long as I specify a path that ends with the name of one subfolder, and it only loops through this subfolder. I would like the path to end at the folder that holds all the subfolders ('Workbooks' in the path below), and then add some code that tells it to apply the macro to all subfolders in this folder, so it loops through them all.
The second issue is that after the macro goes to the closed book(s), copies the data in there and pastes it into the master sheet (into columns E:FG), I then need it to go back to the workbook it just copied from, go the same sheet, to three specific cells on that sheet (FH1:FH3), copy the content, go back to the master sheet, and now repeatedly paste the content (values only and transposed) of these three cells into three cells (in columns B:D, with row number being dependent on what rows the first lot of data was copied into) next to every row it just previously pasted in for me. When it loops to the next workbook, it needs to do the same, and the three cells will have different content than the ones in the previous workbook paste.
I dont know how to define the range it needs to paste into the second time. I tried using the definition I used for the first paste (MCDrow), to tell it that it is the same rows, just different columns, but this is not working.
Here is what I have so far, which does the first part of what I need, except for needing a way to have it loop through all subfolder in the 'Workbooks' folder (at the moment it lists Barwon South West as a subfolder in that path, but I actually have multiple subfolders, not all called Barwon South (all different names) that it needs to loop through and do both the first and the second paste for. I have taken out the code I was trying to use to do the second paste, as this was not working and the code is pretty messy as it is (I sort of bumble along, being so new, and I know the code is not very clean or efficient!).
Can someone help me put in the few lines I need to loop through all my subfolders (if you give me an example I can probably extrapolate), but to get you started, three of the subfolders are Barwon South West, Eastern Region and Gippsland. And can someone help me put in the code that will do the second paste for each workbook?

Im running the Makro from a file where I'd like to put the month in a cell -> so the code refers to cell("A1") wich has value 01 and creates a folder "01" in every projectfolder in C:Projects
how to traverse all files in SharePoint folders using Excel VBA and have not come across an answer I could use because, by configuration design, I cannot map a SharePoint URL to a drive letter.
Here it is:
Sub SPDir()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim dummyFile As String
'
' The file specified by dummyFile must reside in SharePoint in order to use SharedWorkspace
' The way the code is set up, the path and filename in dummyFile should NOT substitute %20 instead of spaces
' There is logic later to ignore dummyFile on output
' Substitute your own dummy file name below

I've created a Excel workbook with VBA code to synchronize an Access database between a laptop and a server. One of the fields in the database is a shortcut to a jpg for each record. (The Access stuff is not too important here)
Now I'd like to add the ability synchronize the photos between the laptop and the server; so people who use the server can view the photos added by the laptop and vice versa.
Something like:
Code:
For each [JPG] in [LaptopFolder]
If not [JPG] exists in [ServerFolder] then
filecopy [LaptopFolder][JPG], [ServerFolder][JPG]
end if
next [JPG]
That code wouldn't work.
What I want to create is an excel file such as:
A
B
C
1
File
Qty
Yes/No
[Code]......
Where Qty sets how many copies for that particular doc, and Yes/No determines if it needs to be printed at all.
Each file will be in a subfolder relative to the excel file.
So it would work like this (somehow)
If Cell, C2 = 1, then print CurrDirSection1examplefile.xlsx, qty= B2 , defaultprinter
If Cell, C3 = 1, then print CurrDirSection2examplefile.docx, qty= B3 , defaultprinter
If Cell, C4 = 1, then print CurrDirSection2examplefile.docx, qty= B4 , defaultprinter
and so forth.
I am trying to open excel files in a file path which includes folders which also have excel folders i wish to open there are quite a few.
At the moment i am working with this code but it fails to open excel files which are within the folders in the specified file path. Its fine for excel workbooks in the folder specified by file path.
This is the code

I have been tasked with trying to find out the permissions on a set of folders on a company network. I know write vba code to manipulate a excel spreadsheet without any problems, but it is when i'm using objects that it starts to go beyond my capability. whilst searching i found this code:
Code:
Sub test1()
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
Const FullAccessMask = 2032127, ModifyAccessMask = 1245631, WriteAccessMask = 118009
Const ROAccessMask = 1179817

It does a perfect job but puts the data into an html file. i managed to get it to input the data into the spreadsheet as well but i would like to clean this code up so that it is not producing another file (namely the text file or the html file) and just put the results into the excel file I have entered the module into.
I did start to remove the references to any file name, but that is where i run into trouble and it wouldn't run any more due to object not found.

My problem is to create a macro that will list all folders, subfolders and files in an order in excel. So that I know which folders and files belong to which main folder, more like a hierarchy.
For example,
Sourcefolder
Subfolder 1
File1
I have code that list all files in folders and subfolders, but it does not put them in a hierarchy fashion.
For the last year I have been downloading cash register X1 and Z1 files onto an SD card. Each night's files (X1 & Z1) are stored in a new folder with the naming convention "RP + [DATE]", (EX: RP120910, [YYMMDD]). I have 265 folders! I need to go through each folder, select the Z1 file (I don't care about the X1, X2 or Z2 files) and rename each with the following naming convention: "Z1 + folder_name + .xls". For Example: Folder RP120910 contains the Z1 file named "Z1_T1729.ECR". After renaming, the file should be "Z1RP120910.xls". As the VBA code loops through each subfolder, selecting and renaming the Z1 files, I would like the new files to be placed into a new folder named "Z1Files". Note: All subfolders are currently in a directory named "RegisterFiles". I am using Excel 2010.

I have a large chart made up with hundreds of rows and around 10 columns. Normally I would use certain pieces of data to find the correct row that would provide my answers. I have set up an extra column beside the chart that will put an X next to the row that will provide my answer. What formula could I use to have excel copy the row beside the X, and put it on another sheet in the workbook?

I have Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Power programming with VBA in which this website was listed as a good reference site. I am working on a spreadsheet where I want to select the last non-empty cell in a column and the column always has some cells that are empty, though it is NOT the last non-empty cell in the column. This spreadsheet is automatically generated and I want to change this particular column to all one format and all one number, 0042. This spreadsheet is then loaded into another system via tab-delimited txt file, so this number is meant to serve as an indicator. Sounds like I gave too much information, just wanted to be clear.

Is there a way to select completely empty rows in Excel 2007 (Win 7)? I have found directions for highlighting empty cells (f5, Special, Blanks...), but sometimes the cells selected will be in rows with other filled cells in them so that doesn't really do what I need.

My macro cleans up data in worksheet "Chalkboard".
After cleanup, I'd like to copy data and select the last sheet in the workbook (the one on the far right) and paste the data.

I need code that will select the last worksheet in the workbook.
I have about 20 plus workbooks in a folder. Each has 52 sheets, Fridays date, that I want to copy all the data from each sheet.
Is there a way to open all workbooks in a folder and copy all data from on all the various sheets into a single workbook?
I'm trying to gather the info and make a small data base from the various books. I'd like not to have to call each workbook by name as the file names change or get added to.
I have found a lot of posts which show me how to list a directory tree in an Excel file, usually using a macro. I'm just uninitiated with VBA / VBS and simply don't have the time to figure it out now (it really isn't part of my job description... I'm rather doing a favor here).
