Dashboard in Excel - excel

I am trying to make a macro that opens all .xlsm files in a folder:
C:\Users\iborrego\Desktop\zfichasmacro\Fichas excel\
And copy some cells (from different worksheets).
Information from each file should be assigned only to one row as I will use the first row for titles (ID Nº; Date of visit etc …)
And one row for each file in the folder.
I would really appreciate if you could help me write the macro and tell me how it works as I am not an IT.

I did not understand the second part of your question, but here is a code which opens every xlsm in your given folder:
Sub Xlsmopener()
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim i As Integer
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Users\iborrego\Desktop\zfichasmacro\Fichas excel")
i = 1
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
If objFSO.GetExtensionName(objFile.Path) = "xlsm" Then
Workbooks.Open (objFile.Path)
End If
i = i + 1
Next objFile
End Sub

How to connect filename with the cell value in Excel and paste it formatted into Word

I have an Excel file with a table where each row represents address and description of property; as well .jpg files - photos of buildings. Each .jpg filename starts with the number (for example 66_foto1.jpg) and the same number contains column "OBJECTID" in the table.
I would like to connect ID value from Excel table with the name of photo and to paste it into Word file. For now I have the code which allows me to paste different photos having the same ID one by one (for example 66_foto1.jpg, 66_foto2.jpg, 66_foto3.jpg):
Dim fso As Object
Dim objfolder As Object
Dim objfile As Object
Dim lCount As Long
Dim strpath As String
Dim objsub As Object
strpath = "C:\Users\xxx\"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objfolder = fso.GetFolder(strpath)
For Each objfile In objfolder.Files
If UCase(objfile.Name) Like "66_*" Then lCount = lCount + 1
Next objfile
but I still need to convert 66_*.jpg into variable and create a loop.
I have already supplied the code for the picture insertion into a Word document in answer to your earlier post on the same topic: Copy paragraphs from Word into the next page if the condition is met (macro). Did you read it? Did you try it? Before any automation can be done, you need to at least say whether the process is being run from Word, or from Excel.

Macro stops running on opening a new workbook (xlsm format)

The VBA macro stops running on opening certain workbooks. When I run the code in break mode, it seems like control goes over to the newly opened workbook and there it has no instructions to follow.
I am trying to open a lot of workbooks, take a printout and close them.
I have also tried opening them in Read only mode, setting the calculation mode to manual but nothing has worked so far.
The following will work if you have a folder with all the workbooks.
This code will iterate through a series of excel files in a given folder:
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim strPath As String
Dim intLen As Integer
Dim strName As String
Dim wsSheet As Worksheet
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strPath = "C:\Users\username\Desktop\FolderName" 'Set path of folder with excel files
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath) 'Get the folder object associated with the directory
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files 'Loop through the files in the folder
Workbooks.Open (strPath & "\" & objFile.Name)
Set wsSheet = Worksheets("Sheet1") 'Name of sheet in excel file
ActiveWorkbook.CheckCompatibility = False 'Skip compatibility check
This code will printout a pdf of the specified range on each sheet to a given path:
intLen = Len(objFile.Name) - 5 'Remove .xlsx characters from name
strName = Left(objFile.Name, intLen)
wsSheet.Range("A1:P58").ExportAsFixedFormat xlTypePDF, "C:\Users\username\Desktop\" & strName & ".pdf", , , , , , False
This code will close each file without saving and continue the loop through the folder:
Workbooks(strName).Close SaveChanges:=False 'Close excel file without saving
Next

Excel file directory grabber

Currently I have a workbook designed to index a folder, where you enter in a folder path e.g. 'Z:\Example' and it exports all the file names and file paths for everything in that particular folder, into another sheet within the workbook. I was wondering if it would be possible to grab all the files within that folder ('Z:\Example') and if there was any other folders inside that directory, also grab all the files within that folder too.
E.g. I enter 'Z:\Example' into cell A19 (as per the code below),
'Z:\Example' has another folder in it, Z:\Example\Another'. All files
within both 'Z:\Example' and Z:\Example\Another' get brought into
excel sheet 2.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim i As Integer
Dim Source_Workbook As Workbook
Dim Target_Path As String
'Create an instance of the FileSystemObject
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Path of the Target Folder
Target_Path = Range("A19").Value
Set Target_Workbook = Workbooks.Open(Target_Path)
Set Source_Workbook = ThisWorkbook
'Get the folder object
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Target_Path)
i = 1
'loops through each file in the directory and prints their names and path
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
'print file name
Source_Workbook.Sheets(2).Cells(i + 1, 1) = objFile.Name
'print file path
Source_Workbook.Sheets(2).Cells(i + 1, 2) = objFile.Path
i = i + 1
Next objFile
'Process Completed
msgBox "Task Completed"
End Sub
I would prefer to not have to insert all paths that I want indexed at the beginning but if that is unavoidable it is okay. Any help appreciated.
Thanks
As In the comments, there are many resources to list a folder and its subfolders. This snippet is customized to your application. It uses recursion and needs to be fed the root folder and the target cell where to paste the results.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Call the recursive function
ListAllFiles ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A19").Value, ThisWorkbook.Sheets(2).Cells(2, 1)
msgBox "Task Completed"
End Sub
Private Sub ListAllFiles(root As String, targetCell As Range)
Dim objFSO As Object, objFolder As Object, objSubfolder As Object, objFile As Object
Dim i As Integer, Target_Path As String
'Create an instance of the FileSystemObject
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Get the folder object
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(root)
'loops through each file in the directory and prints their names and path
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
'print file name
targetCell.Value = objFile.Name
'print file path
targetCell.Offset(, 1).Value = objFile.Path
Set targetCell = targetCell.Offset(1)
Next objFile
' Recursively call the function for subfolders
For Each objSubfolder In objFolder.SubFolders
ListAllFiles objSubfolder.Path, targetCell
Next objSubfolder
End Sub

Looping through different kinds of files in folder (VBA)

I have a question regarding looping through a folder of two different kinds of files: xlsm and mdb (Access).
I have currently written a macro that would open 1 single xlsm file and 1 single mdb file before copying some data from the xlsm to mdb file and then saving the mdb file.
Now, I would like this process to repeat through a folder that has 50 xlsm files and 50 mdb files. They have the same names, so for example the loop should do this:
Open both xlsm and mdb files called "2001".
Perform copying and pasting etc from xlsm to mdb (I have written this part).
Save the mdb file.
Close both xlsm and mdb files called "2001".
Repeat steps 1-4 for "2002", "2003", etc in the folder.
I am really new to VBA so much help is appreciated! Looking forward to any guidance at all. Merry Christmas!
I just did today sample code for listing JPG files in folder, you can adopt and modify to do exactly what you like it to do, but would be very hard to give you exact code without being able to see your solution.
Public Sub listImages(folderPath As String)
'define variables
Dim fso As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim objFolders As Object
Dim objF As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim objFiles As Object
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strFilePath As String
Dim myList As String
'set file system object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'set folder object
Set objFolder = fso.GetFolder(folderPath)
'set files
Set objFiles = objFolder.files
Set objFolders = objFolder.subfolders
'list all images in folder
For Each objFile In objFiles
If Right(objFile.Name, 4) = ".jpg" Then
strFileName = objFile.Name
strFilePath = objFile.Path
myList = myList & strFileName & " - " & strFilePath & vbNewLine
End If
Next
'go through all subflders
For Each objF In objFolders
Call listImages(objF.Path)
Next
Debug.Print myList
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set objFile = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
End Sub

VBA query to copy contents from excel file in sharepoint

I have some excel files in a share point folder. I would need the content from all the files to be collated to one single sheet using VBA.
I get the path as below and try to connect to the path where the files are available.The below code is not able to connect or read the file from the path.
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objFolder As Object
Dim objFile As File
strspURL = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Main").Cells(6, 7).Value
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strspURL)
