How to debug this VBA code? - vba

I have used the following code to loop through the workbooks in a folder, each of which has multiple worksheets. In total I have 7 workbooks but I am able to copy only 3 workbooks to the summary sheet after that I am getting Run time error:1004 Method 'open' of object 'workbooks' failed. I am new to VBA and don't know how to resolve this issue. Can someone help me to debug this?

Allow user to select csv's VBA not working

I would like to modify the following code so that two things happen:
1) The user is able to select the csv's they want in a folder
2)Keep the header for the first csv only and keep the body for the rest of Csvs
How would I go about this in the following code? I keep receiving an error currently when I run this code.

Macro to move tabs to a consolidated workbook instead of coping and pasting

I have this code that First checks if a workbook is in a particular folder and if yes it copies all the
worksheets in that file into the existing workbook.
I would like to modify to code below to do the following:
Instead of copying and pasting the content of each tab to a new workbook, i would like to move the whole
tab over to the new workbook without(Create another copy on the new workbook).. The goal is to be able to
move all the content. The issue with the current way of moving the data is that it doesn't bring over the
images
you can find the code here (Second Answer)

Search Files using "if else" method based on User selection using drop down

I am relatively new to Visual Basic. I have VB macro code which searches files based on user selection using drop down menu and returns the value.
Below is the code snippet:
Sub GetDataFromClosedBook()
Dim mydata As String
Dim mydata1 As String
Dim wkb As Workbook
Dim wkb1 As Workbook
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
' I need to add if else loop here,
' when 'mydata' is not found jump to 'mydata1'
' and return the value
mydata = "C:\Users\Desktop\Test\" & Range("A1") & Range("A2") & Range("A3") & Range("A4") & ".csv"
Set wkb = Workbooks.Open(mydata)
wkb.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Copy ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C1")
wkb.Close False
mydata1 = "C:\Users\Desktop\Test\" & Range("B1") & Range("B2") & Range("B3") & Range("B4") & ".csv"
Set wkb1 = Workbooks.Open(mydata1)
wkb1.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Copy ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C2")
wkb1.Close False
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
mydata = "C:\Users\Desktop\Test\" & Range("A1") & Range("A2") & Range ("A3") & Range("A4") & ".csv"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If (fso.FileExists(mydata)) Then
Set wkb = Workbooks.Open(mydata)
wkb.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Copy
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C1")
wkb.Close False
else
mydata1 = "C:\Users\Desktop\Test\" & Range("B1") & Range("B2") & Range("B3") & Range("B4") & ".csv"
Set wkb1 = Workbooks.Open(mydata1)
wkb1.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Copy
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C2")
wkb1.Close False
end if
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
I found another way to retrieve files based on dropdown selection Using Do while loop.
Here is the code Snippet.
Do While Filename <> ""
On Error Resume Next
Set wkb = Workbooks.Open(mydata & Filename)
wkb.Sheets(1).Range("D8").Copy ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("H6")
wkb.Close False
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox ("Unable to open file " & Filename)
Err.Clear
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Exit Do
Filename = Dir
Loop

Excel Macro to give report title based on Cell Value

I am very new to macro programming and currently creating a macro that splits a table into new worksheets dependent on a unique variable, then copies and pastes each worksheet into a single word document split by page breaks.

There is one error here :
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Dim MyText As String
Dim MyRange As Object
Set MyRange = ActiveWorkbook.Range
MyText = Ws.Range("E3").Value '<==== WS is not properly defined yet
You are using Ws. to say in which worksheet you are working in, which is a good thing. But, as it is a procedure-level variable, it is not pointing anywhere useful. You probably need something like :
Set MyRange = ActiveWorkbook.Range
Set Ws = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1") 'assuming you want to read "E3" on the sheet "Sheet1" of the active workbook, that's the line to add
MyText = Ws.Range("E3").Value '<==== WS is now properly defined
If you go to debugging mode, you should have nothing in "MyText" in your version, and something in mine. The content of E3 in the sheet Sheet1.
Two things:
You should not turn off error handling for the entire code. If
things aren't working VBA can't tell you why or where the problem
is. While it's standar practise to use On Error Resume Next when
using GetObject/CreateObject it's also standard practise to turn
error handling back on AFTER the If...End If. You need to add the
line: On Error GoTo 0 where you have no error handler code.
Based on your sample code, write in the Title before pasting the table.
So something like this:
For Each Ws In Wkbk1.Worksheets
Ws.Range("A1:I14").Copy
Set orng = wddoc.Range
orng.collapse 0
orng.Text = Ws.Range([cell reference with title]) & vbCr
orng.collapse 0
orng.Paste
orng.End = wddoc.Range.End
orng.collapse 0
orng.insertbreak Type:=7
Range("A1:I14").Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
wddoc.AutofitBehavior wdAutoFitwindow
Next Ws
