Application.getopenfilename Type Mismatch Error - Excel |
|
I am opening up a dialog box that allows a user to choose one or more files.
Briefly, the problem is this. Everything works well in the code below unless the user clicks cancel on the dialog box. Then I get a run time error '13': Type mismatch. On the line with Application.GetOpenFilename. My code is below.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, this is driving me crazy!!
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton4_Click() 'variant allows for the selection of multiple files. Dim FileName() As Variant Dim tmpFiles As String Dim i As Long Dim ProjOutFolder Dim ProjDir As String Dim ResultsFile As String Dim j As Integer Dim ManageArray() As String Dim LastCol As Integer Dim tmpFileName As String Dim PathFileName() As String Dim a As Integer Dim StrCompNum As Integer With Sheets("Manage") 'Get and format the Existing project or file name ' Set ProjOutFolder = .Cells.Find(What:="Output Folder", After:=.Cells(1, 1), LookIn:=xlValues, _ ' LookAt:=xlPart, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True, SearchFormat:=False).Offset(0, 1) If Dir(ProjOutFolder, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then MsgBox "The Output Folder path on the Manage tab is not found. If your path is a UNC network drive, please use a mapped drive instead." Exit Sub Else 'change this to the first character of the project out folder: If Left(Trim(ProjOutFolder), 1) Like "[A-Za-z]" Then ChDrive Left(Trim(ProjOutFolder), 1) End If ChDir (ProjOutFolder) 'Type mismatch error occurring here - only when cancel is clicked. FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("NHK Files, *.nhk,All Files, *.*", , , , True) On Error GoTo CancelClicked With Application 'Reset Start Drive/Path If (Left(.DefaultFilePath, 1)) Like "[A-Za-z]" Then ChDrive (Left(.DefaultFilePath, 1)) End If ChDir (.DefaultFilePath) End With If IsArray(FileName) Then 'split out FileName: remove the output path, and split out 'the base filename and the batch run label 'Loop through array and display each file name selected. ReDim PathFileName(1 To UBound(FileName), 1 To 4) For i = LBound(FileName) To UBound(FileName) 'pull out portion after last occurring slash tmpFileName = Right(FileName(i), Len(FileName(i)) - InStrRev(FileName(i), "\")) PathFileName(i, 1) = FileName(i) PathFileName(i, 2) = Trim(Left(tmpFileName, InStr(tmpFileName, " - Baseline Design.nhk"))) 'Pull out path name PathFileName(i, 3) = Left(FileName(i), (InStrRev(FileName(i), "\") - 1)) PathFileName(i, 4) = Replace(tmpFileName, ".nhk", "") Next i End If End With CancelClicked: If Not IsArray(FileName) Then Exit Sub End If End Sub

I dont want it to actually make the save though as I want the user to have the chance to check that the save location is correct and the option to change the filename if required.
Cheers.
I'm trying to write a macro which prints to PDF and saves the file name as the contents of a cell. I've been looking through all the posts currently on this forum to get something working. I'm using the following code -
Sub PrintPDF()
Filename = "C:\Documents and Settings\samb\My Documents\" & ActiveSheet.Range("Z1").Value
SendKeys Filename & "{ENTER}", False
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:= _
"Adobe PDF:", Collate:=True
End Sub
The macro prints to PDF, but then it stops at the Save As stage, where I have to manually enter the name of the file and click Save. I want the macro to automatically name the file with the contents of cell Z1. I then want it to then automatically press enter. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!
I have various cut lengths that I can pick from...
14'-10".....13'- 9".. 12'-8"........(up to 6 different lengths)
I need to know the best combination of lengths to cut the long bar into to have minimal scrap left when we get to the end of the 550 feet.....
Cut as many of the longest cut lengths possiable.....Cut as few of the shortest cut lengths possiable
Due to the fact that I will have to convert this to a PLC application when completed, I want to find a mathmatical way to do this inside excel and not use the "solver"....Assuming that I/we can come up with an equation to do this .....
Any and all advice/help would be appricated.....
an object, I see how I can "lock", "size and move with cells" or "not
move with cells". No matter what I select, the object moves off the
screen, when the user, scrolls to the right of the spreadsheet.
Is there a way to lock the position, let's say , in the upper right
corner and have it stay there?
This would be quite useful for an EXIT button, that I have created,
that will close the program without saving (it's a read-only file.)
Thanks to all the wonderful people here that have been so helpful and
give us their valuable insight and time.

I have a number of different files that I often need to run a macro on. In order for me to do it on the 75-100 files I have at any given time, I need to open one, run the macro, close and save, then open the next one.
Is it possible to write a macro that will start with the first file in a folder, open it and update links, run a macro, save and close, and open the next file in the folder until it has open all the files in the folder.
I have experience with creating macros that reference different workbooks, but not sure how to go about opening files with different filenames (without referencing the exact filename).
I'd like to be able to have basic code for opening, saving and closing, opening next file, saving and closing, etc. and input the macro I'd need to run in each file in the appropriate location. Is this possible? Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Jason
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=Range("H10").Value & Format(Date, "mmdd")
This saves it as the correct cell value + the date, but it saves it to my documents. I need it to save to a shared folder on a network drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS
=IF(a1=0,"ERROR","")
The trailing "" returns an empty cell. The problem is, it is not TRULY empty. If I fill that formula down, I cannot, for example, jump from one "ERROR" cell to the next by hitting Ctrl arrow-down because it seems to think that these empty cells have contents.
Is there a way to designate, in such a formula as above, to return a TRULY empty cell?
Thanks
I'm using the formula below but keep getting #VALUE results
B1: =LEFT(A1,FIND(",",A1,1))
I know it's not that hard but can't figure it out.
thanks for the help

I got the below macro which uses IE and open the URLs. I want to create a userform with listbox with radio button and commandbutton on the same which will help me to connect to each url when I select the same in listbox and click on the commandbutton.
Code:
Sub DoBrowse1() Dim ie As Object Set ie = CreateObject("Internetexplorer.Application") ie.Visible = True ie.Navigate "www.google.com" End Sub
Any suggestions..
This macro is amazingly straight-forward:
Public Sub SaveAsA1()
ThisFile = Range("A1").Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFile
End Sub
I'm totally lost on this "amazingly straight-forward" macro!!!! Could someone help if I tell you the SAVE location? It's T:\COMMISSIONING\IJT\TIMELOG project\Staff#1. I'm just not certain what value I'm replacing in the Macro above.
Any help appreciated..
Any help is appreciated. Here is an excerpt of the code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\Profile.xls"
Sheets("SELECTION").Select
Range("F3").Value = SNR
' THIS PART ONLY WORKS IF YOU STEP THROUGH THE MACRO USING THE DEBUGGER...IF YOU RUN MACRO NORMALLY THE CONNECTIONS DO NOT REFRESH
ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Connection").Refresh
ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Connection14").Refresh
ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Query from C_Profile").Refresh
ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Query from C_Profile1").Refresh
I am new to using Excel and I am not very computer literate. I am looking for some help with a spreadsheet I am making. Here is the problem:
I have a column of 14 numbers in cells A1 to A14. If all of these values are less than 2%, I would like a "Pass" to display in cell B1. If any of these values are greater than 2% I would like a "Fail" to display in cell B1.
I have got a formula that works for a single cell but I can't figure out how to get it to apply to more than one cell. For example, I have entered =IF(A1<2,"Pass","Fail") in cell B1. Now if the value I enter in A1 is less than 2, it shows a "Pass", and if the value in A1 is greater than 2 it shows a "Fail" in cell B1. How can I get this to apply to all of the cells from A1 to A14?
If somebody could help me out that would be great.
Thanks,

How do I find out what the current User's desktop folder path is each time the Marco is run by a different User?
Example User's path: 'C:\Documents and Settings\jfarc\Desktop'
Where 'jfarc' is the name of the current User which, will of course change with every different User that runs the Macro.
Also, is there a way to pull out of Excel what is the current User's 'Options | General | Default File Location' entry? Which may differ from the above directory.
I am familiar with and use the following coding for Opening/Saving files to the current directory of the opened workbook, but it only gives the path of the existing Excel workbook and not the current User's Directory Path:
Dim wbThis As Workbook
Set wbThis = ThisWorkbook
ChDir wbThis.Path
It does this using the indirect function because it needs to concatenate the
path and filename from other cells.
Problem is that if workbook B is closed, the cell in workbook A shows #REF!.
So can indirect work using closed external files or must the external files
be opened?
Is there a clever way of making that work?
Thanks!
Im very familiar with how to write a macro to automatically autofilter a list based upon a Cell Value (i.e. Range =(A1)...etc.).... but what I cannot figure out how to correctly write is a way to have Excel automatically autofilter a list for any row that CONTAINS the Cell Value, instead of just the exact value.
Cell Value = "birds"
Example -- I need to filter every row so that I see every row that CONTAINS "birds" in the character-string, not just the row that = "birds".
a) is this possible?
If not, I'd like to know also so I can stop attempting to guess (-;
Thanks!!!

I have a file that has 8 sheets. the first seven sheets are the days of the week and the 8th sheet is where I want to calculate the hours.
The days of the week consists of "Name" "Date" Hours"
The 8th sheet consists of "Name", "Days of the week in their own column (7 columns in total)", "Total Hours" and "Total Days Worked"
Now... each day is always a different group and what I'm hoping for is to create a formula that can grab each name with their hours and throw them into the 8th sheet. So when the end of the week is done I have all the Employees weekly hours and days worked all finished.
I hope this makes sense. This file is to track about 100 employees that are on a rotational work schedule.
I have attached a sample file.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Make sense? I'm a bit confused myself. Maybe just a list of basic workbook-switching techniques or commands would be useful.
