Hello, I have a number of different files that I often need to run a macro on. In order for me to do it on the 75-100 files I have at any given time, I need to open one, run the macro, close and save, then open the next one.
Is it possible to write a macro that will start with the first file in a folder, open it and update links, run a macro, save and close, and open the next file in the folder until it has open all the files in the folder. I have experience with creating macros that reference different workbooks, but not sure how to go about opening files with different filenames (without referencing the exact filename). I'd like to be able to have basic code for opening, saving and closing, opening next file, saving and closing, etc. And input the macro I'd need to run in each file in the appropriate location. Is this possible?
Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Jason. I have a VBMacro Excel file loaded on a Server that numerous people access.
A Macro in this file creates a Copy of a specific Sheet within the Active Workbook and I want to Save it to the individual's Desktop. How do I find out what the current User's desktop folder path is each time the Marco is run by a different User? Example User's path: 'C: Documents and Settings jfarc Desktop' Where 'jfarc' is the name of the current User which, will of course change with every different User that runs the Macro. Also, is there a way to pull out of Excel what is the current User's 'Options General Default File Location' entry? Which may differ from the above directory. I am familiar with and use the following coding for Opening/Saving files to the current directory of the opened workbook, but it only gives the path of the existing Excel workbook and not the current User's Directory Path: Dim wbThis As Workbook Set wbThis = ThisWorkbook ChDir wbThis.Path. I found this solution for 'drop down list with hyperlink' but it did not work.
Perhaps a better solution is to use a workaround that relies on the HYPERLINK function to refer to whatever is selected in the drop-down list. For instance, if you have your data validation drop-down list in cell A1, then you might put the following formula in cell B1: =HYPERLINK(A1, 'Goto Link') The solution directly above provides exactly what I am looking for in the field where I write the formula, but it fails to hyperlink. I have created a drop down list and linked each one of them to a specific worksheet. When I select them individually they link to appropriate worksheet. But when I select them in the drop down list I receive the following error when I select the Hyperlink in cell B1 as directed above.
