Hi,
I want to list all folders and subfolders with their files in Excel using macros.

For this, I used the following code, which only lists the names of the folders

VBA Code:
Sub FolderNames()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim xPath As String
Dim xWs As Worksheet
Dim fso As Object, j As Long, folder1 As Object
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    .Title = "Choose the folder"
    .Show
End With
On Error Resume Next
xPath = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker).SelectedItems(1) & "\"
Application.Workbooks.Add
Set xWs = Application.ActiveSheet
xWs.Cells(1, 1).Value = xPath
xWs.Cells(2, 1).Resize(1, 3).Value = Array("Path", "Dir", "Name")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder1 = fso.getFolder(xPath)
getSubFolder folder1
xWs.Cells(2, 1).Resize(1, 3).Interior.Color = 65535
xWs.Cells(2, 1).Resize(1, 3).EntireColumn.AutoFit
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Sub getSubFolder(ByRef prntfld As Object)
Dim SubFolder As Object
Dim subfld As Object
Dim xRow As Long
For Each SubFolder In prntfld.SubFolders
    xRow = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row + 1
    Cells(xRow, 1).Resize(1, 3).Value = Array(SubFolder.Path, Left(SubFolder.Path, InStrRev(SubFolder.Path, "\")), SubFolder.Name)
Next SubFolder
For Each subfld In prntfld.SubFolders
    getSubFolder subfld
Next subfld
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
See if this is kind of what you are after.
Code:
Sub test()
    Dim myDir As String, temp(), myList, myExtension As String
    Dim SearchSubFolders As Boolean, Rtn As Integer, msg As String
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        If .Show Then myDir = .SelectedItems(1)
    End With
    If myDir = "" Then Exit Sub
    msg = "Enter File name and Extension" & vbLf & "following wild" & _
    " cards can be used" & vbLf & "* # ?"
    myExtension = Application.InputBox(msg)
    If (myExtension = "False") + (myExtension = "") Then Exit Sub
    Rtn = MsgBox("Include Sub Folders ?", vbYesNo)
    SearchSubFolders = Rtn = 6
    myList = SearchFiles(myDir, myExtension, 0, temp(), SearchSubFolders)
    If Not IsError(myList) Then
        Sheets(1).Cells(1).Resize(UBound(myList, 2), 2).Value = _
        Application.Transpose(myList)
    Else
        MsgBox "No file found"
    End If
End Sub
 
Private Function SearchFiles(myDir As String _
    , myFileName As String, n As Long, myList() _
    , Optional SearchSub As Boolean = False) As Variant
    Dim fso As Object, myFolder As Object, myFile As Object
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    For Each myFile In fso.getfolder(myDir).Files
        Select Case myFile.Attributes
        Case 2, 4, 6, 34
        Case Else
            If (Not myFile.Name Like "~$*") _
                * (UCase(myFile.Name) Like UCase("*" & myFileName)) Then
                n = n + 1
                ReDim Preserve myList(1 To 2, 1 To n)
                myList(1, n) = myDir
                myList(2, n) = myFile.Name
            End If
        End Select
    Next
    If SearchSub Then
        For Each myFolder In fso.getfolder(myDir).subfolders
            SearchFiles = SearchFiles(myFolder.Path, myFileName, _
            n, myList, SearchSub)
        Next
    End If
    SearchFiles = IIf(n > 0, myList, CVErr(xlErrRef))
End Function
