Insert picture in Excel from file in vba - vba

I would like to insert a picture in Excel from a file depending on a cell value.
I have a set of pictures in a file, each with a different name.
In Excel, I have a table that is populated with a list of names, depending on certain criteria. The list is a group of words that are the same as the picture's names.
Is there a way through which I can upload the pictures to Excel, when the picture name appears in the list?
Thank you.

Consider this methodology.
Sub InsertPics()
Dim fPath As String, fName As String
Dim r As Range, rng As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
fPath = "C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\"
Set rng = Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
i = 1
For Each r In rng
fName = Dir(fPath)
Do While fName <> ""
If fName = r.Value Then
With ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(fPath & fName)
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
Set px = .ShapeRange
If .ShapeRange.Width > Rows(i).Columns(2).Width Then .ShapeRange.Width = Columns(2).Width
With Cells(i, 2)
px.Top = .Top
px.Left = .Left
.RowHeight = px.Height
End With
End With
End If
fName = Dir
Loop
i = i + 1
Next r
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
' Note: you need the file extension, such as ',jpg', or whatever you are using, so you can match on that.

VBA Error: Runtime Error: 9 - Subscript out of range when copying a worksheet from another workbook

I am generating a new workbook from a multiple workbooks, i can generate a summary of all the errors found, but when i try to copy the sheets with the error information i got the runtime error 9
These is the line failing
If exists = True Then
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sheetName).Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
End If
Other thing i havent add is that all the sheets on the multiple files have the same names, so i want to know if there is a way that the sheet when is copy i can add the file name and the sheet name

Put option explicit at top so spelling of variables is checked and that they are declared. The variable exists was mispelt and there were a number of other variables not declared. I have put some other comments in with the code.
Some of the logic i think can be simplified and i have given some examples. Also, ensure consistent use of named variable wc. If nothing else it should be easier to debug now. Compiles on my machine so give it a try.
This all works on the assumption that each workbook you open has the "Violations Summary" sheet and it is spelt as shown.
You have the filename already stored in the variable Filename so you can use (concatenate?) that with the sheetname variable.

After you copy the ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sheetName) to ThisWorkbook, ThisWorkbook becomes the ActiveWorkbook. ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sheetName).Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1) should not throw an error but will probably cause ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Violations Summary") to fail. For this reason, you should always fully qualify your references.
Some idealist programmers say that a subroutine should perform 1 simply task. Personally, I believe that if you have to scroll up, down, left or right to see what your code is doing it is time to refactor it. When refactoring I try to extract logical groups of tasks in a separate subroutine. This makes debugging and modifying the code far easier.

Note: row is the target Row of ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1). row.Columns(3) is a fancy way to write row.Cells(1, 3) which refers to the 3rd cell in the target row. Also note that Cells, Columns, and Rows are all relative to the range they belong to. e.g. Range("C1").Columns(2) refers to D1, Range("C1").Rows(2).Columns(2) refers to D2, Range("C1").Cells(2,2) also refers to D2.

Split data into multiple workbooks based on cell value in Excel using vba

Each month I get our sales report and it contains quantities of goods we sold along with product details, and I created a template using vba where user can specify a product and it can create a excel report for them.
However, I would like to expand/modify so if I have multiple excel reports instead of just one report. I would like excel to separate however many product codes I input or listed.
Now, I added a tab called list in my template which I can list the # of product codes (the 4 digit number, in column A) where vba should read from but I need help on modifying the codes so instead of asking the user, it reads the list instead. Secondly, since master file contains all of the products and I maybe just need 20 or 30 of them, I will need the vba codes to be flexible as possible.
The way i set it up, I am basically updating/copying new info from Master file into Monthly Template and re-saving Monthly Template as product codes product as of 9.1.2017 file.

I seen no reason why to save copies of Monthly Template.xlsm. The OP's code simply creates a list on a worksheet and saves it to file. I might be some formatting missing that would normally get saved over from the Master File.
getMonthlyFileName(DateOf, Product) - creates a file path (Root Path\Year of Date\Month of Date\Product - Prodcut mmm.dd.yyyy.xlsx. In this way, the Product files can be stored in an easy to lookup structure.

Try two loops for this, making sure you sort by the product in the main list to make this a little quicker.
Dim i as Long, j as Long, k as Long, l as Long, m as Long
With Sheets("List")
j = .Cells( .Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
With Sheets("Products")
l = .Cells( .Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
For i = 2 to j
For k = 2 to l
If Sheets("List").Cells(i,1).Value = Sheets("Products").Cells(k,1).Value Then
With Sheets("Output")
m = .Cells( .Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
Sheets("Output").Rows(m+1).Value = Sheets("Products").Rows(k).Value
End If
Next k
Next i
Edit
Will try to piecemeal something to give at least a lead to splitting into different sheets, rather than having one output sheet (this will not be tested, just free-coding):
Dim i as Long, j as Long, k as Long, l as Long, m as Long, n as String
With Sheets("List")
j = .Cells( .Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
With Sheets("Products")
l = .Cells( .Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
End With
For i = 2 to j
n = Sheets("List").Cells(i,1).Value
Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Name = n
Sheets(n).Cells(1,1).Value = n
Sheets(n).Rows(2).Value = Sheets("Products").Rows(1).Value
For k = 2 to l
With Sheets(n)
If .Cells(1,1).Value = Sheets("Products").Cells(k,1).Value Then
m = .Cells( .Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
.Rows(m+1).Value = Sheets("Products").Rows(k).Value
End If
Next k

I don't know why some people doing VBA thinks declaring all the variables with weird names before a thousand lines of code is a good idea.........
Anyways..back to the question, I believe what you are trying to achieve is:
1) Specify a list whilst the code iterates through the list and filters the data based on the listed items.
2) Creates a workbook where the filtered the data is copied over.
3) saving the workbook to somewhere you'll specify, with a specific name.
So naturally, your programme access point should be the one that iterates through the specified list, which should be your main function.
Then inside main function you'll have a Sub that deals with whatever the product ID is, and then filters on your product ID, then copies the data into a newly created workbook.
Last step would be naming the new workbook and saving it close it.
So here is some code skeleton that hopefully will help you with creating the monthly reports. You'll have to write yourself how you want to copy the data from your master workbook to the destination workbook (it should be simple enough, just filter the source list and copy the results to the destination workbook, no dictionary nor arraylist is needed).
Sub main()
Dim rngIdx As Range
Set rngIdx = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("where your list is").Range("A1")
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
While (rngIdx.Value <> "")
Call create_report(rngIdx.Value)
Set rngIdx = rngIdx.Offset(1, 0)
Wend
With Application
.DisplayAlerts = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub
Sub create_report(ByVal product_ID As String)
Dim dest_wbk As Workbook
Set dest_wbk = Workbooks.Add
Call do_whatever(ThisWorkbook, dest_wbk, product_ID)
dest_wbk.SaveAs getMonthlyFileName(some_date, product_ID)
dest_wbk.Close
End Sub
Sub do_whatever(source_wbk As Workbook, dest_wbk As Workbook, ByVal product_ID As String)
' this is the code where you copy from your master data to the destination workbook
' modify sheet names, formatting.......etc.
End Sub

VBA loop to pull cell addresses and sum them in a cell in another master spreadsheetl

I have the following code but it doesn't get to me to quite where I want:
Public Sub populateFile()
Dim wbk As Workbook
Dim fileName As String
Dim path As String
Dim pulledFormula As String
Dim pulledPath As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
path = "C:\Users\Bob\Desktop\Source Files\"
fileName = Dir(path & "*.xlsx*")
Do While fileName <> ""
Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(path & fileName, UpdateLinks:=False)
j = 24
For i = 8 To 16
With Workbooks("MasterFile.xlsm").Sheets("Sheet1")
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Workbooks(fileName).Sheets("SummaryTab").Range(Cells(i - 1, j - 21), Cells(i - 1, j - 13))) > 0 Then
.Cells(i, j - 10).Value = fileName & vbNewLine & .Cells(i, j - 10).Value
For j = 15 To 23
pulledFormula = "+" & Application.WorksheetFunction.Index(Workbooks(fileName).Sheets("SummaryTab").Range("C6:K164"), _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(.Cells(i, 1), Workbooks(fileName).Sheets("SummaryTab").Range("A6:A164"), 0), _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(.Cells(6, j), Workbooks(fileName).Sheets("SummaryTab").Range("C5:K5"), 0)).Address(External:=True)
.Cells(i, j).Value = pulledFormula & .Cells(i, j).Formula
Next j
End If
End With
Next i
wbk.Close
fileName = Dir
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
So I am trying to pull relevant (based on the index/match) cell addresses from a bunch of files in a directory. The next step is to iteratively add the addresses together with the + sign in the hope that in the end the master spreadsheet can have the sum of all the relevant cells from all the opened files in one cell (and to do this for a bunch of cells as well). The exact problem is that Excel refuses to evaluate the resulting concatenated formula. Would really appreciate any ideas on how to improve this code!
Thanks!
Note: I need to keep the cell addresses in the master file cells so other people can follow those addresses to the feeder files, so I can't use the Evaluate formula.
This sounds like a recalculation, or non-recalcualtion, issue.
You may use this simple macro to apply F2 + Enter on the currently selected range:
Sub ApplyF2()
Selection.Value = Selection.FormulaR1C1
End Sub
Can you modify that technique to suit your needs?

Count data in multiple Excel file vba

I have multiple xls files in a folder.
In column G:G of help worksheet, it has datas like O , R 
I want to count total number of O, R individually and put it in a excel table.
i have this code please help its not executing the loop also
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim CSVfolder As String, _
Xlsfolder As String, _
fname As String, _
wbook As Workbook, _
SRange As Range, _
k As Integer
Xlsfolder = "C:\Users\sam\Desktop\macro\macro\macro"
fname = Dir(Xlsfolder & "*.xls")
k = 5
Do While fnmae <> ""
Workbooks.Open (fnamme)
Set SRange = Workbooks(fname).Worksheets("Findings").Range("G:G")
Cells(3, k) = Application.CountIf(SRange, "O")
Cells(4, k) = Application.CountIf(SRange, "Cd")
Cells(5, k) = Application.CountIf(SRange, "Cr")
Cells(6, k) = Application.CountIf(SRange, "Cn")
Cells(7, k) = Application.CountIf(SRange, "A")
Cells(8, k) = Application.CountIf(SRange, "Cf")
Workbooks(fname).Close
Loop
End Sub
You can do something very simple, like this.
=('NAME_OF__SHEET'!A1)
NAME_OF__SHEET = "the name of your sheet" A1 = column, row
and your done!
Or, of course, you can use VBA to import your data from several files into one sheet, and work on it there.

Insert picture/icon in or over a cell

I hope I make this clear:
I have a loop that copies some hyperlinks in specific cells (they come from a document list with the file path, document name, etc stored in another sheet).
I would like to have an icon next to the hyperlink that indicates if it will open a word document, a folder, etc. In the document list, I can put an indicator in the column next to the hyperlink (1 for word doc, 2 for folder, etc) so that depending on the case, the right icon gets sent next to the right type of document hyperlink.
I have managed to do it by simply inserting shapes (blue rectangle for word doc, green for folder) but I'd like to have a more descriptive symbol (like a specific FaceID maybe?). Here is my code (dumbed down for simplicity):
Sub Icons()
Dim i As Integer
Dim sh As Object
'Only loops through A1:A5 for simplicity
'Looks at the associated indicator located in the previous sheet
'Assigns a shape depending if it is 1 or 2
For i = 1 To 5
If Feuil1.Range("A" & i) = "1" Then
Set sh = Feuil2.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, Range("A"& i).Left, Range("A" & i).Top, 15, 15)
sh.Name = "WordDocIcon" & i
sh.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 220, 220)
End If
If Feuil1Range("A" & i) = "2" Then
'It is easy to do when inserting a given msoShape, but I want something else!
Set sh = Feuil2.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, Range("A" & i).Left, Range("A" & i).Top, 15, 15)
sh.Name = "FolderIcon" & i
sh.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(100, 100, 0)
End If
Next
End Sub
Further to my comments, Here is how you can insert pictures and position them in say Column B. I would still say that typing "Word" or "Folder" in Column B and then coloring the cell would be much simpler :)
Sub Sample()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim picWord As String
Dim picFolder As String
Dim Shp As Shape
Dim i As Long
picWord = "C:\Users\Siddharth\Desktop\Word.Jpg"
picFolder = "C:\Users\Siddharth\Desktop\folder.Jpg"
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Feuil1")
With ws
For i = 1 To 5
If .Range("A" & i) = "1" Then
With .Pictures.Insert(picWord)
With .ShapeRange
.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
.Width = ws.Range("B" & i).Width
.Height = ws.Range("B" & i).Height
End With
.Left = ws.Range("B" & i).Left
.Top = ws.Range("B" & i).Top
.Placement = 1
.PrintObject = True
End With
ElseIf .Range("A" & i) = "2" Then
With .Pictures.Insert(picFolder)
With .ShapeRange
.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
.Width = ws.Range("B" & i).Width
.Height = ws.Range("B" & i).Height
End With
.Left = ws.Range("B" & i).Left
.Top = ws.Range("B" & i).Top
.Placement = 1
.PrintObject = True
End With
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub
I used the following pictures. You can download these or use whatever you like.
When you run the above code, you will get this kind of output
