Getting Number of excel files inside difference directories

[CntrlAltDel]

Hello

My goal is to have a table where Column A is a independent entity, Column B is a number dependent on the number of files from a certain folder, Column C is the directory of the certain folder.

____
For vizualization aid you can Imagine:
Column A is a store (ex: Portuguese Store)
Column C is a file where every individual sale is stored as an excel document
Columb B is the cell that will reveal the number of excel files (sales) inside the directory specified in column C

Q:
Trying to understand how I can add more stores and directories inside the same code
____


I have a innitial draft for this but I can only get the number of files for one directory, if I try to reuse the variable to get the number of files for the following directories I find a bug.

Draft:

Sub CountFiles()
Dim folder_path As String
Dim strType As String
Dim totalfiles As Variant

folder_path = Worksheets("Files Count").Cells(2, 3).Value

If Right(folder_path, 1) <> "\" Then folder_path = folder_path & "\"
totalfiles = Dir(folder_path & strType)

Dim i As Integer

While (totalfiles <> "")
i = i + 1
totalfiles = Dir
Wend
Worksheets("Files Count").Cells(2, 2).Value = i

End Sub

How can I edit this code so that I can add as many directories and results as I need?

Hi CntrlAltDel. Please use VBA tags around your code to make it easier to read. Press the little VBA icon in the toolbar of your post window and paste your code there.

Option Explicit

Sub CountFiles()
    Dim folder_path As String, strType As String
    Dim lR As Long, lLast As Long, i As Long
    Dim vTotalFiles As Variant
    
    With Worksheets("Files Count")
        lLast = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row
        
        For lR = 2 To lLast
            folder_path = .Cells(lR, 3).Value
            
            If Right(folder_path, 1) <> "\" Then folder_path = folder_path & "\"
            vTotalFiles = Dir(folder_path & strType)
            
            'Dim i As Integer  -  do your defining all at the top - easier for maintenance. If numbers can be big, use a Long instead of Integer
            
            While (vTotalFiles <> "")
                i = i + 1
                vTotalFiles = Dir
            Wend
            .Cells(lR, 2).Value = i
        Next lR
    End With
End Sub
