VBA import file macro

[Pinaceous]

Hi All,

I'm working with a great macro that allows the user to select a specific excel file in importing it into their already open excel workbook.

Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Set wsDest = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(11)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
With Workbooks.Open(Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files, *.xls*"))
.Sheets(10).Range("A1:Q178").Copy wsDest.Range("A1:Q178")
.Close False
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Set wsDest = Nothing

Have at it and run the code.


It pops up your typical file to open box.


Now my question is; if the user clicks the 'Cancel' button I'd like a for a message box to pop up and say:

MsgBox "Not IMPORTING File!!"

and then to

Exit Sub

Can someone help me piece this together??

Thank you!

Try...

Dim sFilename As Variant
Dim wsDest As Worksheet

sFilename = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files, *.xls*")
If sFilename = False Then
    MsgBox "Not IMPORTING File!!"
    Exit Sub
End If

Set wsDest = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(11)

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
With Workbooks.Open(sFilename)
.Sheets(10).Range("A1:Q178").Copy wsDest.Range("A1:Q178")
.Close False
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Set wsDest = Nothing

Hope this helps!

Hey,

Is there anyway for an excel file import via the web, if the web has the excel file represented as an icon without the user first downloading its file first prior to the import taking place??

Thanks

Re: VBA import file macro, really cool

Hi Everybody!

Does anyone know where I can put a specific title for the pop-up open file icon/box in the code below??

Dim sFilename As Variant
Dim wsDest As Worksheet

sFilename = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files, *.xls*")
If sFilename = False Then
    MsgBox "Not IMPORTING File!!"
    Exit Sub
End If

Set wsDest = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(11)

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
With Workbooks.Open(sFilename)
.Sheets(10).Range("A1:Q178").Copy wsDest.Range("A1:Q178")
.Close False
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Set wsDest = Nothing

For example, if I wanted to put

Select File

as the title, where would that go in the code??

Thanks,
Pinaceous

This might help you to know the parameters

GetOpenFilename( FileFilter , FilterIndex , Title , ButtonText , MultiSelect )

Re: VBA import file macro, really cool

Hi,

Can someone help me combine what I have in my code line 3:

sFilename = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files, *.xls*")

with

GetOpenFilename( FileFilter , FilterIndex , Title , ButtonText , MultiSelect )

that Nine Zero posted.

I can't seem to edit/combine these two parameters in avoiding a VB error.


Thank you!

As I'm really stumped!

Re: VBA import file macro, really cool

Hi Everyone,


I've got the title part I'm all good now, I understand.


But now, how do I specify a files path with this application????


For example; c: temp files /folder y /folder x

Please let me know,

Thank you!

If you want to specify a files path you don't need GetOpenFilename.
use

sFilename = "c:\temp files \folder y \folder x"

But I want them to select a specific file one at that designed/specified path.

Does this make sense??
