My requirement is as outlined below:
a) i will be generating a CSV and I will be placing it in a shared Dropbox folder everyday at a set time on one PC.
b) I need MS Excel to check the same Dropbox folder on another PC for a new CSV everyday at the same time and update the corresponding column in the sheet with the contents of the CSV.
c) An example of this is let each column in the Excel represent a day in the month. THen each CSV would have the data for a day and I would like the script to append to the sheet as each day progresses in the month.
Kindly give pointers as to how I should be going about doing this. If in need of further clarification on above requirements, do let me know.
Thank you in advance for your time and contributions.
You need to use the Workbooks.Open method to open the CSV and your destination workbook. Consider assigning them to variables, like wbSource As Workbook and wbDest as Workbook.
Then you need the Range.Copy method to copy the data from the CSV.
If you want to find the next available column to put the data, that will require the Range.End property. Something like Cells(1,1000).End(xlToLeft).Offset(0,1).
Finally, you'll need the Range.PasteSpecial method to put the data on the destination sheet. Use xlPasteAll if you want to do a regular copy and paste. You could use the Worksheet.Paste method, but that requires that you select the proper cell and that's just not desirable.

I'm trying to find a way to create a macros that would read the name of the sheet from an external workbook, and extract the necessary information from that sheet, but when I run it again, it would take from the next sheet? To make it clear:
A set of daily volumes are placed into an excel workbook where each sheet in the workbook is represented by the date (i.e. 31 sheets in a workbook for the month of May).
How can I make the Macros take the volume for May 6th volumes, but for the next day when I run the Macros it would take from May 7th etc?
Hope I made it clear and apologies for any inconvenience.
I am trying to write and excel macro that will copy data from an excel file with multiple sheets. Each column will have different lengths and the name of the sheet will not always be known. I want it to start by having the user select the original file and a new one be started, which is where it will be copying to. There are multiple columns and only two of them I am interested in. They are the m/z and the intensity. I also have to know which sheet the value came from. I would prefer it if they sheet name was presented in a column next to the combined m/z's and intensity's. I am new to this and can use all the help available.
As above - use the macro recorder and make sure you are using named ranges.... an example upload would also help p[eople help you...
I have a lot of data into Excel files.
There are about 174 files. Each is named Book2.xslx through Book174.xlsx
I have a master document where I have a column of formulas that I would like to paste (or insert) into each of these spreadsheets without having to actually open each one individually.
Does someone know any code I can use to do this?
As an example, I would say I would want to copy the range P:P - the whole of column P - and insert it or paste it into Column P in the closed workbooks.
Can this be done? If it works , and I want to insert different ranges and cells every time I wanted something different inserted or pasted? Or is there a macro for example, that I could run , that would copy what I've selected to the same place in every unopened spreadsheet named Book*.xlsx?
You cannot do this on existing files without opening them (whether in Excel, or using FSO, as the Object Model won't be available to apply to those files
having said that, it is possible to automate the modifications using VBA.
If you would post your code, we can help you improve it or resolve any issues with bugs or performance
I have here 12 CSV source file (just numbers separated with semicolon).
I need on one action/click take this data and import it to excel/calc to 12 sheets (1 sheet for 1 csv source).
Any Idea how can I do that?
you can do it with Excel vba:
create a new workbook (or use the current one depending on your needs)
ask the user to select several csv files (if they are on the same folder, else, you can ask the user if he still have some more to import) >> doc here
copy or move the imported worksheet to the new or current workbook (>> Excel 2003 VBA: Move a sheet into a new workbook that is referenced by a variable)
Please let us know if you encounter some trouble building your procedure
By using the code in this post combined with a loop in which you step through the filenames (which you could keep in an array of string) and vary the .Destination with the sheets in the workbook(you can step through them by making as many new sheets as you need in the workbook and then going from Sheets(1) through Sheets(N), where N is the number of sheets.
How do I copy data from all the workbooks in the folder onto workbook 1 into it's corresponding row groups?
The attached images shows the sample worksheet is the file I want to paste data into (main template) and wb2 sample is a sample of one of the worksheets in the folder that I want to copy data from.
As you can see, the workbook 2 does not include all of the tasks. So I need to copy all of the data from workbook 2 and paste it on the corresponding row group (col A) on original workbook. I then need to do this for all workbooks in the folder.
Any help would be most appreciated!
To get the list of files, you will need to modify the code provided in this answer:
http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=65530
(you will need to read some documentation to select only xls files)
To open each of those files, read the documenation on opening files. This url can get you started:
http://p2p.wrox.com/excel-vba/10510-opening-excel-file-vba.html
After that, you will need to copy data from one workbook to another. See this url:

I know this isn't a very complete answer, but your question isn't terribly clear.
