Hello all,
looking for a solution to my VBA problem, I came across this forum via the internet and immediately created a profile as this seems to be a very active and friendly community.
My problem is the following:
I would like to create an overview Excel file that allows me to define certain filters and then search various standardized workbooks and predefined cells to see if they meet the defined criteria, and then copy certain values from the workbooks that meet all the filter criteria.
For example, I have a workbook for each product of an online retailer.
In the overview sheet, I then select the filters:
Sales volume in the last 12 months > 10,000
Price > 30$
Industry = Textile.
Now I want to insert a macro into the overview file that, when pressed, opens the file browser and lets me select a specific directory. The macro will then search all the standardized Excel files (each Excel file contains information about a product) in that directory to see if they meet the filter criteria. If a product meets all the criteria set, the key metrics from that workbook should be copied to the summary file.
The whole thing will probably be insanely complicated, especially since I'm a VBA amateur.
Nevertheless, I hope that some of you may have some initial helpful food for thought.
With kind regards
K.R.
