copy and paste to all files in a folder - excel

I am trying to copy a sheet from one file and then paste it to an established tab in about 6 files in an established folder. I have this code, but it only works for the first file in the folder. It is also creating a blank workbook for some reason. Any suggestions?
Sub LoopThroughFiles()
Dim wbk As Workbook
Dim Filename As String
Dim FirstFile As String
Dim FileDirectory As String
Dim x As Workbook
Set x = Workbooks.Open("test.xlsx")
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Title = "Please select a folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "You did not select a folder"
Exit Sub
Else
FileDirectory = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
End If
End With
Set wbk = Workbooks.Add
Filename = Dir(FileDirectory)
FirstFile = Filename
Do Until Filename = ""
Dim new_wb As Workbook
Set new_wb = Workbooks.Open(FileDirectory & Filename)
If FirstFile = Filename Then
x.Sheets("report").UsedRange.Copy
new_wb.Sheets("roster").Range("a1").PasteSpecial
End If
new_wb.Close savechanges:=True
Filename = Dir
Loop
MsgBox "All store totals have been added"
End Sub

Sub LoopThroughFiles_Paste_Roster()
Dim wbk As Workbook 'New workbook the data is added to
Dim Filename As String
Dim FirstFile As String
Dim FileDirectory As String
Dim x As Workbook
Dim y As Workbook
Set x = Workbooks.Open("Copy Doc 1")
Set y = Workbooks.Open("Copy Doc 2")
'display the folder picker dialog box so user can select a folder
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Title = "Please select a folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "You did not select a folder"
Exit Sub
Else
FileDirectory = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
End If
End With
'retrieve the name of the first file in the folder using Dir
Filename = Dir(FileDirectory)
FirstFile = Filename
'Loop through all the files in the folder
'open the file
Do Until Filename = ""
Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(FileDirectory & Filename, UpdateLinks:=False, Password:="Password123")
With wbk
x.Sheets("report").UsedRange.Copy
wbk.Sheets("roster").Range("a1").PasteSpecial
y.Sheets("Setup").UsedRange.Copy
wbk.Sheets("PTO Taken and Req").Range("a1").PasteSpecial
End With
'save and close the file
'get the next file in the folder
wbk.Close savechanges:=True
Filename = Dir

MsgBox "All pages have been updated"

VBA how to open two file and copy date between them

I have a problem with a macro, I have a sample file with a button that I would like to use to run two files in the background. One wb = this is a template and wbMe pli with data that I would like to copy to wbMe. However, when I run the code, I get subcprite out of range. Where I have an error, such a sheet exists + there is data there in the cell
Sub COREP_ITS()
Dim strPath As String
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set wbMe = ThisWorkbook
strPath = selectFile
If strPath = "" Then Exit Sub
Set wbMe = ThisWorkbook
MyFolder = "sample_folder"
MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "\CMR - CJ_MINIMAL*.xlsx")
If MyFile <> "" Then
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(MyFolder & "\" & MyFile, UpdateLinks:=0)
Else
Exit Sub
End If
''C_0700_002''
wbMe.Sheets("Tabela_COREP").Range("F14").Copy
wb.Sheets("C_0700_0002").Range("G14").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End Sub
Private Function selectFile()
Dim fd As Office.FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.InitialFileName = ActiveWorkbook.Path
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "Excel", "*.xlsx"
If .Show = True Then selectFile = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
End Function
You don't open the user-selected file.
You need to pass strPath to Workbooks.Open
strPath = selectFile
If strPath = "" Then Exit Sub
Set wbMe = Workbooks.Open(strPath)

How to prompt user to select file location in VBA to merge files into one workbook

I want to prompt the user to select the folder path with FileDialog and integrate it with a routine which imports the desired files to the open workbook.
Below is my code but rather than pre-determining the folderpath I need to prompt the user:
Sub MergeCsvFilesToWb()
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim Filename As String
Dim Sheet As Worksheet
Dim fldr As FileDialog
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set fldr = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With fldr
.Title = "Select the Folder where the '.csv' files are located."
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Show
End With
FolderPath = fldr.SelectedItems(1)
Filename = Dir(FolderPath & "*.csv*")
Do While Filename <> ""
Workbooks.Open Filename:=FolderPath & Filename, ReadOnly:=True
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
Sheet.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Next Sheet
Workbooks(Filename).Close
Filename = Dir()
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The File/Folder selected in FileDialog can be found in the SelectedItems property (Documentation)
So to assign the variable FolderPath to the selected folder:
Dim fldr As FileDialog
Set fldr = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With fldr
.Title = "Select the Folder where the '.csv' files are located."
.Show
Dim FolderPath As String
FolderPath = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
Note that you should handle the event that the user does not select any folder (click Cancel) in the dialog so a better version would be:
Dim fldr As FileDialog
Set fldr = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With fldr
.Title = "Select the Folder where the '.csv' files are located."
.Show
Dim FolderPath As String
If .SelectedItems.Count <> 0 Then
FolderPath = .SelectedItems(1)
Else
'Code to handle event that nothing is selected
'e.g.
'Exit Sub
End If
End With
Lastly, the folder path returned does not have a slash at the end so you will need to either:
Modify Filename = Dir(FolderPath & "*.csv*") to Filename = Dir(FolderPath & "\*.csv*")
Modify FolderPath = .SelectedItems(1) to FolderPath = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"

Macro Excel import single sheet from various files

I have a macro excel file that does some clean up on cells and I need to import a single sheet from various files on the same folder. For example I need the sheet1 from all the excel files located on the same folder as my macro file. I have a code to do that manually but I need to be able to do it automatically either by selecting the files or running another macro to select them no matter the amount of files on the folder.
Sub Carga_Masiva()
Dim fName As String, wb As Workbook
fName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xl*), *.xl*")
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(fName)
For Each sh In wb.Sheets
If Application.CountA(sh.Cells) > 0 Then
sh.Copy Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Exit For
End If
Next
wb.Close False
End Sub
I'd prompt user for a folder and then iterate over each file except the one with your macro.
To prompt for a folder use this solution (in my code as optional variant): link
Complete code below:
Sub Carga_Masiva()
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim fName As String, wb As Workbook
fName = Application.GetOpenfnamename("Excel fnames (*.xl*), *.xl*")
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(fName)
For Each sh In wb.Sheets
If Application.CountA(sh.Cells) > 0 Then
sh.Copy Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
Exit For
End If
Next
wb.Close False
End Sub
Sub CopyToThisWorkbook()
Dim wbMacro, wb As Workbook
Set wbMacro = ThisWorkbook
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim folderPath, fName, tabName As String
folderPath = wbMacro.Path & Application.PathSeparator
'Prompt variant
'folderPath = GetFolder & Application.PathSeparator
fName = Dir(PathName:=folderPath)
Do
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Open all files except the one with macro
If fName <> wbMacro.Name Then
'Your code
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(wbMacro.Path & "\" & fName)
For Each sh In wb.Sheets
If Application.CountA(sh.Cells) > 0 Then
tabName = sh.Name & "_" & Right(wb.Name, 10) 'Optional - rename Worksheet to be copied
sh.Name = tabName 'Optional
sh.Copy Before:=wbMacro.Sheets(1)
Exit For
End If
Next sh
wb.Close SaveChanges:=False
End If
fName = Dir
Loop Until fName = ""
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
Function GetFolder() As String 'Optional variant
Dim fldr As fnameDialog
Dim sItem As String
Set fldr = Application.fnameDialog(msofnameDialogFolderPicker)
With fldr
.Title = "Select a Folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialfnameName = Application.DefaultfnamePath
If .Show <> -1 Then GoTo NextCode
sItem = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
NextCode:
GetFolder = sItem
Set fldr = Nothing
End Function

Issue with looping through sheets in excel files and save as csv files

I am writing a function that iterates through files in a folder. In each file, iterate through the sheets and save them as CSV files. I tested them without going through the sheets and it works fine. However, when I loop through the sheets, it keeps looping through the files. I ran the debug and found that when it is at the end of the last file, it goes back to the first file. I cannot find what was wrong. Here is my code:
Sub morningstar_VBA()
'PURPOSE: To loop through all Excel files in a user specified folder and perform a set task on them
'SOURCE: www.TheSpreadsheetGuru.com
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim myPath As String
Dim myFile As String
Dim myExtension As String
Dim filename As String
Dim path_to_save As String
Dim FldrPicker As FileDialog
Dim w As Long
'Retrieve Target Folder Path From User
Set FldrPicker = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With FldrPicker
.Title = "Select A Target Folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
If .Show <> -1 Then GoTo NextCode
myPath = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
End With
'In Case of Cancel
NextCode:
myPath = myPath
If myPath = "" Then GoTo ResetSettings
'Target File Extension (must include wildcard "*")
myExtension = "*.xlsx*"
'Target Path with Ending Extention
myFile = Dir(myPath & myExtension)
'Loop through each Excel file in folder
Do While myFile <> ""
'Set variable equal to opened workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(filename:=myPath & myFile)
'Ensure Workbook has opened before moving on to next line of code
For w = 1 To Worksheets.Count
With Worksheets(w).Copy
'the ActiveWorkbook is now the new workbook populated with a copy of the current worksheet
With ActiveWorkbook
filename = .Worksheets(1).Name
path_to_save = "E:\Morningstar_download\test\" & filename
.SaveAs filename:=path_to_save, FileFormat:=xlCSV
DoEvents
.Close savechanges:=False
End With
End With
Next w
wb.Close savechanges:=True
'Ensure Workbook has closed before moving on to next line of code

'Message Box when tasks are completed

Maybe try this out :

i would split this into two parts; mainly because it is easier to handle the code, but also in case you need parts of the code in other circumstances. The sub "Dateien_auswaehlen" can be used to do anything with the choosen files, just by choosing some other routine then morningstar:
Sub Dateien_auswaehlen()
Dim FldrPicker As FileDialog
Dim fso As Object
Dim objFld As Object
Dim objFiles As Object
Dim file
Dim myPath As String
'Retrieve Target Folder Path From User
Set FldrPicker = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With FldrPicker
.Title = "Select A Target Folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
If .Show <> -1 Then GoTo NextCode
myPath = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
End With
'In Case of Cancel
NextCode:
myPath = myPath
If myPath = "" Then GoTo ResetSettings
'Target File Extension (must include wildcard "*")
myExtension = "*.xlsx*"
'Target Path with Ending Extention
myFile = Dir(myPath & myExtension)
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFld = fso.GetFolder(myPath)
Set objFiles = objFld.Files
For Each file In objFiles
'here any sub can be called for working with the files found:
If LCase(file.Name) Like myExtension Then Call morningstar_VBA(myPath, file.Name)

Open and read from excel file

Edit: After user3561813 the suggestion of adding "/", it now read the first file. I have an out of range error message "9". It does read the first file correctly. Ultimately I am trying to open each file, and read the name and age (this is a testing not the real production form). And retrieve the values back to my main worksheet.
Original question
I am trying to read hundred of excel forms in a folder, read a particular cell position, and record them into my testing worksheet. I googled this tutorial and tried to write my code. But when I execute the Getting Folder function, selected a folder path, it does not loop the excel files I have. (or record their names)
'Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x1T4s8DVc0
Sub GettingFolder()
Dim SelectedFolder As String
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Title = "Select folder"
.ButtonName = "Confirm"
.InitialFileName = "U:\"
If .Show = -1 Then
'ok clicked
SelectedFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
MsgBox SelectedFolder
' This is where I want to call my function
LoopFiles (SelectedFolder)
Else
'cancel clicked
End If
End With
End Sub
' Source: http://www.excel-easy.com/vba/examples/files-in-a-directory.html
Sub LoopFiles(path As String)
Dim directory As String, fileName As String, sheet As Worksheet
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
' Avoid Screen flicker and improve performance
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
' Fixed per suggestion below..
directory = path & "\"
fileName = Dir(directory & "*.xl??")
Do While fileName <> ""
i = i + 1
j = 2
Cells(i, 1) = fileName
Workbooks.Open (directory & fileName)
For Each sheet In Workbooks(fileName).Worksheets
Workbooks("Testing.xlsm").Worksheets(1).Cells(i, j).Value = sheet.Name
j = j + 1
Next sheet
Workbooks(fileName).Close
fileName = Dir()
Loop
' Reset the screen update setting
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Interesting question! This should do it for you. Modify as needed.

In your code, the path variable may not contain a trailing backslash. This causes the following code in your LoopFiles(<>) SubRoutine to be inaccurate:
directory = path
fileName = Dir(directory & "*.xl??")
Filename would look something like: c:\users\name\documentshello.xlsx
Try changing the above code to:
directory = path & "\"
fileName = Dir(directory & "*.xl??")
Does that fix the problem?
