In this article I will explain how you can find and create a list of all the files and folder in a directory: Jump To. Create a folder in a SharePoint 2010 list By default, the New Folder command does not appear in lists. A SharePoint list owner or a user with design permissions for the list.
Hi, I am trying to use your code to begin a selection process from a file directory. I need to access this file directory and go into each folder to match if a specific file name exists. The naming conventions are the same for each file that I want to isolate. For example: PlanIT_Timesheet_Data_2013_Dec. The name is the same for each file, except for the “2013_Dec” piece. That will change monthly, with the corresponding month and year for the file extract.
I want to build and excel template that places the latest year_month combination in a single cell: i.e. The value would be “2014_Apr” because I just uploaded the April 2014 extract yesterday. I can use these last 8 characters to reference the most recent date, everytime. But it must reference the file name, not modified by date, as changes may occur after the file is placed in this directory. I need to do this for multiple file names, maybe 20.
If I could have a column that displays a cell with the latest file date, with each row being the file name I am monitoring, this will have a great impact in my collection duties. Very hopeful you can help! Hello zapp10anth, thank you for visiting my website.
I’m sorry but I’m having a hard time understanding what you are trying to do: I need to access this file directory and go into each folder to match if a specific file name exists. The naming conventions are the same for each file that I want to isolate.
For this you could use a double iteration. The sample code provided below iterates through all the folders in the initial directory. Hi Pedrumj, Thanks for a great article it was just what I’m looking for. The problem is I’m not too familar with Excel VBA and I’d like to search for files in a directory. I need to match products with their images and tell me which images are missing I have 1500 rows of data with column B having image filenames like “qq1645.jpg” Starting at B2 I would like a macro that would search a directory (d:stock updates) on my PC where all my images are stored. If the image is present I would like to add AA2 = “Yes”, if the image is NOT present I would like the entry in AA2 = “Missing” I would like it to go through all the rows of the sheet automatically until the end. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks Dan •. Thank you for this tutorial. It has helped me to write the two below functions which you may use directly in your vba code in Excel. These functions use only Excel built-in function Dir(). Public Function GetFilesFromPath(path As String, recursive As Boolean) As Variant ‘ ‘ List all files in folder to an array.
Get also subdirs if is True. Dear Bro, Nice Sharing THanks for that first with the last function which you share to get the names of all folders in a specific location you used varDirectory = Dir(strDirectory, vbDirectory) in result of this vba coding you get file names of that location with having..??
These folders doest exist? Please help me out how we can avoid these 2 further see my vbacoding which I used for fetching files & folders names from specific location but in result I also face the same. Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim fetchnames() Dim mypath As String Dim myfile As String Dim path As String path = Sheet1.Range(“B6”).Value mypath = path & “ ” myfile = Dir(mypath & “*.*”, vbDirectory) r = 9 Do While myfile “” Cells(r, 1).Value = myfile r = r + 1 myfile = Dir Loop End Sub •. I used the following and successfully got the list and path of folders inside a folder. Is there any way to also get a link to those folders?
