Renaming Files (Using Excel Spreadsheet)

[WeaponX 0]

Thanks seec77. That worked perfectly

Just one last question. Can I undo the rename manually (ctrl+z) if I find out that there was a mistake? I just tried it and don't think it's working.

I just posted that other question on VB6 over here. If you can help me out on that one also, that would be great

Thanks again for all the help.

Hi Stefan and welcome to Xisto.

 

The script created by seec77 was a lifesaver for me. I'm still using it very frequently to this day

 

You need to look at two areas in the script:

 

Match = "Budget"Set FilesDir = FSO.GetFolder("C:\yotam\temp\renamefiles\test\")

For the Match part, in your case enter something like 007. That should be more than enough since I'm assuming ALL your files in THAT folder starts with 007 right? Keep in mind that if you have any other files that are different like 008, it will NOT rename that file. So make sure they are following some pattern.

 

After that part, you need to tell it what folder you have it in. So if you have all those JPGs in c:\images, enter that into the double quotes for the Set FilesDir line.

 

Once that's done, close the visual basic editor window. Hit Alt+F8 to bring up the Macros window. Double click on the macro to run it.

Macro to search the desired worksheet and load data to another worksheet

Renaming Files (Using Excel Spreadsheet)

 

Dear Experts,

 

I am very new to Macros. As such I wished to automate a Quality Check (QC) Report. There is a folder on our server where all the monthly QC files are saved. I want to run a macro to create a report of daily total volumes cleared vs internal errors identified vs external errors identified. The moment the run button is clicked it should ask "For which month" And whichever month I type, it should open the folder containing the QC files and search for the title of the QC files and open the required file. The first report in this report file is a daily report. The same report I want staffwise. The staff names are stored in the QC file in validation. So if there is a new staff getting added this new staff details should appear in the report through this macro only where in the macro searches the validation for the last staff name and if it matches with the existing staff list then ignores else creates the same report format as for the other staff.

 

I hope I will get good help from this site.

Please help as this is a part of a six sigma control phase where we want to create a robust accuracy reporting system with no person dependancy.

 

Thanks and Regards for all your valuable time and advice.

EXCEL Macro/VBA helpRenaming Files (Using Excel Spreadsheet)

Hi,

Although I am good with excel I can't do crap with Macros other than record them.  Can a macro be written to find certain data and move the entire row to another sheet in the same workbook?  I can't just record one because each month the data I need is in a different row when I get the report.

For example, I need the row of information with code 8MG to be pulled from the list and cut or copied to row, whatever, we'll say row 4 in the next sheet over.  Then I need it to do the same for the row of information with code 8C4 to other sheet row 5…and so on.  My issue is the codes mentioned fall into different rows each time the original report is printed.  ARGHHH!  /txtmngr/images/smileys/smiley5.Gif

Thanks,

Seec77,I wonder if it is possible for your code to over write hyperlinks? What I have is an outdated hyper link a bout 800 of them. I need to change them all to link with files that they are associated with. Columns A1 -A 247 have the names of the files that are associated with them. So lets say cell A1 contains N001, that particular file is located at C:documentstransupdatesN001.Pdf. What I would like it to do is look for that file in the C drive and make it a hyperlink for the cell A1. Do you think it's possible to do that?
