Alternative to Send Keys - copy and pasting Excel data to Notepad - excel

Essentially I am trying use VBA to copy data from Excel and paste values in a new notepad file. I was able to create a successful macro using sendkeys, but am trying to avoid this I know it is not the most reliable. I have tried using createobject to create and write to temp files but no luck. I am getting a "permission denied" error. Once the Notepad file is generated, I do not want to save it down, just leave it open for the user to review the data and they can save as they need. Any suggestions on alternatives? Code I have been trying is below.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim formulasheet As Worksheet
Dim copysheet As Worksheet
Dim num As Integer
Dim valuecolumn As Range, cell As Object
Dim copycolumn As Range
Dim i As Range
Dim strTempFile As String
Dim strData As String
num = 0
Set formulasheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Template")
Set copysheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Copy")
Set valuecolumn = formulasheet.Range("B:B")
Set copycolumn = formulasheet.Range("A:A")
formulasheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible
copysheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible
copysheet.Cells.Clear
formulasheet.Select
For Each i In valuecolumn
If i.Value > 0 Then
i.Offset(0, -1).Copy
copysheet.Select
copysheet.Range("A1").End(xlUp).Offset(num, 0).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
num = num + 1
End If
Next i
copysheet.Cells.WrapText = False
If copysheet.Range("A1") = "" Then
MsgBox "No transaction amounts, please review."
copysheet.Visible = xlSheetHidden
formulasheet.Visible = xlSheetHidden
Exit Sub
Else
copysheet.Select
strData = copysheet.Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Copy
strTempFile = "C:\temp.txt"
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
.CreateTextFile(strTempFile, False).Write strData
End With
Shell "cmd /c ""notepad.exe """ & strTempFile & """", vbHide
End If
SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}", True

VBA - Loop through files in a folder AND copy single cells as well as a range, if condition is met

I am currently using a piece of code to loop through files in a folder and copy certain cells from each file into a master list. There are a number of files being added into the folder every week. One of the columns in the master list includes the filenames of previously looped files. The code only loops through files that are not included in the filename list and therefore also have not previously been looped.
The code works really well and copies cells with satisfactory results however I now need to modify it to also copy a range of data (A20:H33 specifically) as well as meeting the above condition of not already being looped.
I have tried the following unsuccesfully:
Adding another varTemp to the code (As seen in the main code)
Adding a sub that can copy a range (However I have been unable to incorporate this into the code so it satisfies the not looped condition)
Using selection.copy and selection.paste however an error that I cannot workaround pops up ("Object doesn't support this property or method")
Here is the main code:
Option Explicit
Sub CopyFromFolderExample()
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, r As Long, wb As Workbook
Dim varTemp(1 To 6) As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
strFolder = "D:\Other\folder\"
r = ws.Range("A" & ws.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.xl*")
Do While Len(strFile) > 0
If Not Looped(strFile, ws) Then
Application.StatusBar = "Reading data from " & strFile & "..."
Set wb = Workbooks.Add(strFolder & strFile)
With wb.Worksheets(1)
varTemp(1) = strFile
varTemp(2) = .Range("A13").Value
varTemp(3) = .Range("H8").Value
varTemp(4) = .Range("H9").Value
varTemp(5) = .Range("H37").Value
'varTemp(6) = .Range("A20:H33").Value
End With
wb.Close False
r = r + 1
ws.Range(ws.Cells(r, 1), ws.Cells(r, 6)).Formula = varTemp
End If
strFile = Dir
Loop
Application.StatusBar = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Function Looped(strFile As String, ws As Worksheet) As Boolean
Dim Found As Range
Set Found = ws.Range("A:A").Find(strFile)
If Found Is Nothing Then
Looped = False
Else
Looped = True
End If
End Function
This is the snippet of code that when inserted into the main code just below tha last vartemp gives me the following error ("Object doesn't support this property or method")
.Range("A20:H33").Select
.Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
ws.Activate
If ws.Range("A1") = "" Then
ws.Range("A1").Select
Selection.Paste
Else
Selection.End(xlDown).Offset(6, 0).Select
Selection.Paste
End If
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
I think that if you use a Range variable instead of a Variant to copy and paste the Range(A20:AH33) should get the job done.
Declare:
Dim rg as Range
Then replace this line of code:
varTemp(6) = .Range("A20:H33").Value
For this:
Set rg = .Range("A20:H33")
Then you can just Rg.Copy and paste whereaver you want.
Don't forget to "clear" the copybuffer after you paste the information:
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Avoid to use Selectionand Activate in your code, the reasons for it can be seen here:
How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA
and here:
https://www.businessprogrammer.com/power-excel-vba-secret-avoid-using-select/
This should do it. I've turned your array back to 5 elements, and the range is transferred separately. I've added a few new variables which you might want to give more meaningful names.
Sub CopyFromFolderExample()
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String, r As Long, wb As Workbook
Dim varTemp(1 To 5) As Variant, r1 As Long, r3 As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
strFolder = "D:\Other\folder\"
strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.xl*")
Do While Len(strFile) > 0
If Not Looped(strFile, ws) Then
Application.StatusBar = "Reading data from " & strFile & "..."
Set wb = Workbooks.Add(strFolder & strFile)
With wb.Worksheets(1)
varTemp(1) = strFile
varTemp(2) = .Range("A13").Value
varTemp(3) = .Range("H8").Value
varTemp(4) = .Range("H9").Value
varTemp(5) = .Range("H37").Value
Set r3 = .Range("A20:H33")
End With
With ws
r = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
r1 = .Range("F" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1 'last used row in col F
.Range(.Cells(r, 1), .Cells(r, 5)).Value = varTemp
.Cells(r1, 6).Resize(r3.Rows.Count, r3.Columns.Count).Value = r3.Value 'transfer A20:H33
End With
wb.Close False

Copy data from several Word documents to one Excel workbook using Word VBA

I have about 100 Word documents and from each I want to copy data and paste it all in one Excel workbook.
I came up with this code which opens one Word document, copies data, pastes it to Excel and closes the Word document:
Sub WordDataToExcel()
Dim myObj
Dim myWB
Dim mySh
Dim txt As String, Lgth As Long, Strt As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim oRng As Range
Dim Tgt As String
Dim TgtFile As String
Dim arr()
Dim ArrSize As Long
Dim ArrIncrement As Long
ArrIncrement = 1000
ArrSize = ArrIncrement
ReDim arr(ArrSize)
Dim wrdDoc As Object
Documents.Open ("D:\ekr5_i.doc")
TgtFile = "result.xlsx"
Tgt = "D:\" & TgtFile
'finds the text string of Lgth lenght
txt = "thetext"
Lgth = 85
Strt = Len(txt)
'Return data to array
With Selection
.HomeKey unit:=wdStory
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Forward = True
.Text = txt
.Execute
While .Found
i = i + 1
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range _
(Start:=Selection.Range.Start + Strt, _
End:=Selection.Range.End + Lgth)
arr(i) = oRng.Text
oRng.Start = oRng.End
.Execute
If i = ArrSize - 20 Then
ArrSize = ArrSize + ArrIncrement
ReDim Preserve arr(ArrSize)
End If
Wend
End With
End With
ReDim Preserve arr(i)
'Set target and write data
Set myObj = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set myWB = myObj.Workbooks.Open(Tgt)
Set mySh = myWB.Sheets(1)
With mySh
.Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(i, 1)) = myObj.Transpose(arr)
End With
'Tidy up
myWB.Close True
myObj.Quit
ActiveDocument.Close SaveChanges:=wdDoNotSaveChanges
Set mySh = Nothing
Set myWB = Nothing
Set myObj = Nothing
End Sub
I need to loop through all the documents in the folder.
I have implemented the same with Excel workbooks, but I don't know how for Word documents.
Here is the code for Excel workbooks:
Sub combine_into_one()
Dim FSO As Object: Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim strPath$, Pivot$, sUserName$, sFolderName$, sSourceName$, x&
Dim oFldialog As FileDialog
Dim oFolder
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set oFldialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With oFldialog
If .Show = -1 Then
.Title = "Select a Folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = strPath
sFolderName = .SelectedItems(1)
End If
End With
Set oFolder = FSO.GetFolder(sFolderName)
Workbooks.Add: Pivot = ActiveWorkbook.Name 'Destination workbook
For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
Workbooks(Pivot).Activate
x = Workbooks(Pivot).Sheets(1).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row + 1
Workbooks.Open Filename:=oFile: sSourceName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Workbooks(sSourceName).Activate
Workbooks(sSourceName).Sheets(1).[A80:Q94].copy
Workbooks(Pivot).Activate
Workbooks(Pivot).Sheets(1).Cells(x + 1, 1).PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
Workbooks(sSourceName).Close False
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
There are so, so, so many things you can do between Excel & Word. I'm not sure I totally understand your question. The script below may help you; it has definitely served me well over time. If you need something different, please describe your issue more, to better clarify the issue you are facing.

End Function
In this scenario, whatever you put in the headers of B1:K1 (or more to the right) is searched for, each word document in a folder is opened, scanned, and if the string in B1:K1 is found, an 'x' is placed in the same x-y coordinate.
Again, if this doesn't help, please describe your issue better, and I'll post back with alternative solutions. Thanks!!

Read Excel file without opening it and copy contents on column first blank cell

So I want to automate a lot of manual work of copy/paste with the help of a Macro. The macro should read all files from folder one by one, copy the content from that source file range "I9:J172" and paste it on the destination file (where the macro is of course) on the column first blank row.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'For Each Item In franquicia
' OPEN THE SOURCE EXCEL WORKBOOK IN "READ ONLY MODE".
Set src = Workbooks.Open("C:\folder\inventory.xlsb", True, True)
' GET THE TOTAL ROWS FROM THE SOURCE WORKBOOK.
Dim iTotalRows As Integer
iTotalRows = src.Worksheets("INV").Range("I9:J" & Cells(Rows.Count, "J").End(xlUp).Row).Rows.Count
' FIND FIRST BLANK CELL
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = Worksheets("Hoja1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
' COPY DATA FROM SOURCE (CLOSE WORKGROUP) TO THE DESTINATION WORKBOOK.
Dim iCnt As Integer ' COUNTER.
For iCnt = 1 To iTotalRows
Worksheets("Hoja1").Range("A" & LastRow & ":B" & iCnt).Value = src.Worksheets("INV").Range("I9:J172" & iCnt).Value
Next iCnt
' CLOSE THE SOURCE FILE.
src.Close False ' FALSE - DON'T SAVE THE SOURCE FILE.
Set src = Nothing
'Next Item
I want to solve first this last row problem and then do an array and the loop to read all the files one by one.
Thank you!
The following code does what you've described, and the animated gif demonstrates with 3 test files (with test data in the columns you mentioned). The first part of the gif shows the contents of 2 of the test files, and then runs the macro, stepping through it, showing the result on a "combined" sheet. Click on the gif to see better detail. Note that each test file's data must be on a "data" sheet. You can modify, of course.
Option Explicit
Dim theDir As String, alreadyThere As Boolean, wk As Workbook
Dim sh As Worksheet, comboSh As Worksheet, comboR As Range
Dim r As Range, s As String, numFiles As Integer
Const ext = ".xlsx"
Sub CombineFiles()
Set comboSh = getSheet(ThisWorkbook, "Combined", True)
theDir = ThisWorkbook.Path
s = Dir(theDir & "\*" & ext)
Set comboR = comboSh.Range("A1")
While s <> ""
ThisWorkbook.Activate
If comboR <> "" Then Set comboR = comboR.Offset(0, 2)
comboR.Activate
Set wk = Workbooks.Open(theDir & "\" & s)
Set sh = getSheet(wk, "data", False)
Set r = sh.Range("I9:J72")
'Set r = sh.Range(r, r.End(xlToRight))
'Set r = sh.Range(r, r.End(xlDown))

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Split an excel file into multiple workbooks based on the contents of a column

I'm not experienced with VBA, but I think it's the only way for this to work.
I need to send a report to each sales team, but don't want to send them the information of other sales team. There are multiple sheets per workbook with different reports which all have a sales team column.
I would like all the sheets to be filtered by sales team, and create a new workbook for each team.
I appreciate any help.
I got this solution.
Just send me an email if you need this solution.
At first I got this format:
I create the following macro code
Option Explicit
Dim MainWorkBook As Workbook
Dim NewWorkBook As Workbook
Sub ExportWorksheet()
Dim Pointer As Long
Set MainWorkBook = ActiveWorkbook
Range("E2").Value = MainWorkBook.Sheets.Count
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'enhance the performance
For Pointer = 2 To MainWorkBook.Sheets.Count
Set NewWorkBook = Workbooks.Add
MainWorkBook.Sheets(Pointer).Copy After:=NewWorkBook.Sheets(1)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
NewWorkBook.Sheets(1).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
With NewWorkBook
.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\lengkgan\Desktop\Testing\" & MainWorkBook.Sheets(Pointer).Name & ".xls" 'you may change to yours
End With
NewWorkBook.Close SaveChanges:=True
Next Pointer
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Range("D5").Value = "Export Completed"
End Sub
Following is the output
I have written a VBA(Macro) program which will work based on Input data. All you need to do is, provide input data in a column in another sheet. Macro will read the data and filter Master Sheet based on each row then it Generate new excel sheet based on find data.

Need some advice on how to stream line ACCESS/EXCEL VBA

I wrote this Access/VBA program. It works but only when I am not running other applications or few users are in the database. I need some ideas on streamlining the code. So it is not so system intensive. The program basically allows a user to pick a folder and then combines all worksheets in that folder in one excel document. My current idea is just to tell users to close all excel files when trying to run the program. Please Help:

You are passing your Excel Application object into your subroutines, but not using it fully, neither are you explicitly referencing the libraries:
Sub CombineWorkbooks(myXL)
Dim DestWB As Excel.Workbook ' <<<
Set DestWB = myXL.Workbooks.Add(xlWorksheet) ' <<<
End Sub
Run through your code and fix all of these first, then test & supply more feedback on what the precise symptoms of the problems are.
