I am new to excel. I need to create a new excel from the macro written and need to add some data and save it as a csv file. I am getting Application defined or Object defined error. Her is the code
Sub splitIntoCsv()
Dim wbIn
Dim wbIn1 As Workbook
Dim header As Variant
Set wbIn = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
wbIn.Workbooks.Add
'wbIn.Worksheets(1).Name = "TestData"
'Set wbIn1 = Workbooks.Open(Sheet1.Range("b25").Value, True, False)
header = Split(ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("B2").Value, ",")
For k = 1 To 10
DoEvents
Next k
For i = LBound(header) To UBound(header)
'MsgBox header(i)
**wbIn.Worksheets(1).Range("a" & i).Value = header(i)**
Next i
wbIn.Worksheets(1).SaveAs Filename:="D:\file.csv" & Filename, FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub
I got the error at the Starred lines.Help needed,
Thanks in advance,
Raghu.
The following code now work, Please have a look
Sub splitIntoCsv()
Dim wbIn As Excel.Application
Dim wbIn1 As Workbook
Dim header As Variant
Set wbIn = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set wbIn1 = wbIn.Workbooks.Add
header = Split(ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("B2").Value, ",")
For k = 1 To 10
DoEvents
Next k
For i = LBound(header) To UBound(header)
'**wbIn1.Worksheets(1).Range("a" & i).Value = header(i)**
Next i
wbIn1.SaveAs Filename:="D:\file.csv" & Filename, FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
wbIn1.Close
Set wbIn1 = Nothing
wbIn.Application.Quit
Set wbIn = Nothing
End Sub
The first problem in the code was that you were trying to save using the worksheets. Worksheets do not have a save method, Workbooks do.
While fixing the code, I had a large number of excel objects in memory. Please have a look at how to close and exit a excel application.
For the starred line you asked about, note that the Split function returns a zero-based array, so in your first time through the loop you are trying to refer to cell A0. So, change the line to:
wbIn.Worksheets(1).Range("a" & i+1).Value = header(i)

I have 100+ files in one folder. Each file has 3 lists, but only 1 list with data. I need to take that data from each file and combine it in a single file on 1 list. I wrote a sub for it, but I'm not sure how to go around selecting only the range needed (it varies from file to file) - in the same way you do it on keyboard with Ctrl + Shift + left arrow + down arrow. And how should I go around pasting it in the result workbook at exactly the first free line after the data that was pasted before?
Sub combine()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim ExcelApp As Object
Set ExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
ExcelApp.Visible = False
ExcelApp.ScreenUpdating = False
ExcelApp.DisplayAlerts = False
ExcelApp.EnableEvents = False
'**VARIABLES**
Dim folderPath As String
folderPath = "Y:\plan_graphs\final\mich_alco_test\files\"
'COUNT THE FILES
Dim totalFiles As Long
totalFiles = 0
Dim fileTitle As String
fileTitle = Dir(folderPath & "*.xl??")
Do While fileTitle <> ""
totalFiles = totalFiles + 1
fileTitle = Dir()
Loop
'OPENING FILES
Dim resultWorkbook As Workbook
Dim dataWorkbook As Workbook
Set resultWorkbook = ExcelApp.Application.Workbooks.Open("Y:\plan_graphs\final\mich_alco_test\result.xlsx")
fileTitle = Dir(folderPath & "*.xl??")
'FOR EACH FILE
Do While fileTitle <> ""
Set dataWorkbook = ExcelApp.Application.Workbooks.Open(folderPath & fileTitle)
dataWorkbook.Worksheets("List1").Range("A1").Select
dataWorkbook.Worksheets("List1").Selection.CurrentRegion.Select
`resultWorkbook.Range
fileTitle = Dir()
Loop
ExcelApp.Quit
Set ExcelApp = Nothing
End Sub
I may have misunderstood the question and unfortunately I cannot make a comment. If I've grasped this question wrong, i'll delete.
but I'm not sure how to go around selecting only the range needed
This suggests that you have a dynamic amount of data and want to use Range to grab the selections.
Supposing you know the column location of where said data is located (in this case my list starts at B2 and we don't know where it ends. You can use Range to dynamically select all data:
Dim rcell As Range
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = ActiveSheet.Range("B2", Range("B2").End(xlDown))
For Each rcell In rng.Cells
Debug.Print rcell.Value
Next rcell
End Sub
First we define a Range variable and assign it to the range starting at B2 and using .End(xlDown) we can select a range ending at the final entry.
For further reading on .End() see here.
Hope this helps.
You can do this without VBA. Use Get & Transform instead.
Here are a few steps to get you started:
Go to the Data Tab
Under Get & Transform, pick New Query - From File - From Folder
Select the folder containing all your 100+ files
Select the tab that contains your data
You are almost there. Do your final fixes (if needed)
Once you're done, click Close & Load
This should do what you want.

I have wrote some VBA code which I was fairly happy with. It went through a list on a worksheet, switched to another and set a variable (and thus changed some graphs) and then opened word, copied in the graphs to various bookmarks and saved the document as the variable name.
It worked like a charm and I was a happy boy (saved a good week and a bit of work for someone). I have not touched it since - or the worksheets for that matter - opened it today and it is giving me a type missmatch on the first lot. I would really love some advice as it has left me scratching my head.
Public X As Integer
Public Y As String
Sub Macro2()
'Set up variables that are required
Y = ""
LoopCounter = 2
Do Until Y = "STOP"
'Grab the value from a list
Sheets("CPD data 13-14").Select
Range("A" & LoopCounter).Select
Y = Range("A" & LoopCounter).Value
'Change the chart values
Sheets("Pretty Display (2)").Select
Range("A1").Value = Y
'Open word template
Set wordapp = CreateObject("word.Application")
wordapp.documents.Open "LOCATION"
wordapp.Visible = True
wordapp.Activate
wordapp.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("InstitutionName").Range = Y
wordapp.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Graph1").Range = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 3")
'Close document
Mystring = Replace(Y, " ", "")
wordapp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs Filename:="LOCATION" & Mystring & ".docx"
wordapp.Quit
Set wordapp = Nothing
'Increase count and loop
LoopCounter = LoopCounter + 1
Loop
The error hits on the following line:
wordapp.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Graph1").Range = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 3")
EDIT
As suggested I have updated my code not to use select so it now reads:
Set ws = Sheets("CPD data 13-14")
Set pd = Sheets("Pretty Display (2)")
'Set up variables that are required
Y = ""
LoopCounter = 2
Do Until Y = "STOP"
'Grab the value from a list
Y = ws.Range("A" & LoopCounter).Value
'Change the chart values
pd.Range("A1").Value = Y
'Open word template
Set wordapp = CreateObject("word.Application")
wordapp.documents.Open "LOCATION"
wordapp.Visible = True
wordapp.Activate
wordapp.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("InstitutionName").Range = Y
wordapp.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Graph1").Range = pd.ChartObjects("Chart 3")
'Close document
Mystring = Replace(Y, " ", "")
wordapp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs Filename:="LOCATION" & Mystring & ".docx"
wordapp.Quit
Set wordapp = Nothing
'Increase count and loop
LoopCounter = LoopCounter + 1
Loop
I still get the same runtime error at the same point.
try this
Option Explicit
Public X As Integer
Public Y As String
Sub Macro2()
Dim wordApp As Object
Dim LoopCounter As Integer
Dim Mystring As String
Dim ws As Worksheet, pd As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("CPD data 13-14")
Set pd = Sheets("Pretty Display (2)")
'Set up variables that are required

LoopCounter = 2
' open one Word session for all the documents to be processed
Set wordApp = CreateObject("word.Application")
Do Until Y = "STOP"
'Grab the value from a list
Y = ws.Range("A" & LoopCounter).Value
With pd
.Range("A1").Value = Y 'Change the chart values
.ChartObjects("Chart 3").Copy ' Copy the chart
End With
'act on Word application
With wordApp
'open word template
.documents.Open "LOCATION"
.Visible = True
' paste into bookmarks, "save as" document and close it
With .ActiveDocument
.Bookmarks("InstitutionName").Range = Y
.Bookmarks("Graph1").Range.PasteSpecial
Mystring = Replace(Y, " ", "")
.SaveAs Filename:="LOCATION" & Mystring & ".docx"
.Close

'Close Word

Set wordApp = Nothing
End Sub
I couldn't have a word "Range" object directly set to an Excel "Chart" object
So I had to copy the chart and use "PasteSpecial" method of the Word "Range" object
Furthemore I worked with one Word session only, which'd result in a faster job
Finally I also made some "comsetics" to make the code more readable/maintanable
just as a suggestion: I'd always use "Option Explicit" statement. that'll force you some extra work to explicitly declare each and every variable you use, but that will also give much more control over your work and result in less debbugging issues, thus saving time at the end
My advice is to set the Explicit flag and try to decompile the code. Any variables that you didn't dimension will throw an error. This is a good time to dimension the variable and type the data appropriately.
If that doens't throw an error, which it should since you have at least one variable LoopCounter that isn't dimensioned and could therefore cause data type errors then try changing Public X As Integer to Public X As Long so as to avoid values beyond the limit of the Integer data type.
.Activate is sometimes necessary even when using .Select from my experience. Selecting a worksheet should make it the active worksheet, but that's not always the case.
I need to run multiple scenarios in a excel model. In the current model, each scenario has to be load manually, and each run takes over 3 hours. I also need to save the model result in a new workbook.
I'm writing a macro to allow scenarios automatically load in the model, run, and save as a new workbook. My code is below. The problem is when it goes to the code line "Application.run ... ", Run time error 1004: Application defined or object defined error.
Please help!

I'm trying to open two documents from excel with vba and call a word macro from this particular excel file.
The macro is working fine in Word and I also get the documents to open and the word macro to start. However when there is a switch from one document to the other the word macro goes to break-mode (which does not happen when I run it from Word instead of Excel).
I use the following code from excel:
Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
worddoc = "H:\Word Dummy's\Dummy.docm"
wordApp.Documents.Open worddoc
wordApp.Visible = True
wordApp.Run macroname:="update_dummy", varg1:=client, varg2:=m_ultimo, varg3:=y
In word I have a sub with the parameters defined between breakets and the following code:
worddoc2 = "H:\Word Dummy's\texts.docx"
Word.Application.Activate
Documents.Open worddoc2, ReadOnly:=True
ThisDocument.Activate
Set bmks = ThisDocument.Bookmarks
Can anyone tell me why it does not run from excel and how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance.
I finally found the answer myself after a lot of searching on Google.
I needed to add :
application.EnableEvents=false
To the excel macro.
That was all. Now it works.
My complete code is huge (the macro in excel also opens two other workbooks and runs a macro in them). This part of the code is working for now (so I left it out), but I just want to add the part that it opens a worddoc and adds specific texts in it depending on what client has been chosen in the excel userform. But to show you a better idea how my code looks like, this is in excel (where the client is defined by a userform in another module):
Sub open_models (client as string)
Application.DisplayStatusBar = True
‘determine datatypes
Dim m_integer As Integer
Dim m_ultimo As String
Dim m_primo As String
Dim y As String
Dim y_integer As Integer
Dim y_old As String
Dim y_last As String
Dim wordApp As Object
Dim worddoc As String
'Determine current month and year and previous
m_integer = Format(Now, "mm")
y_integer = Format(Now, "yyyy")
If m_integer <= 9 Then
m_ultimo = "0" & m_integer - 1
m_primo = "0" & m_integer - 2
Else
m_ultimo = m_integer - 1
m_primo = m_integer - 2
End If
If m_integer = 1 Then
y = y_integer - 1
Else
y = y_integer
End If
On Error Resume Next
'open word dummy
Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
worddoc = "H:\RAPORTAG\" & y & "\" & y & m_ultimo & "\Dummy.docm"
wordApp.Documents.Open worddoc
wordApp.Visible = True
wordApp.Run macroname:="update_dummy", varg1:=client, varg2:=m_ultimo, varg3:=y, varg4:= worddoc)
On Error GoTo 0
ThisWorkbook.Activate
'reset statusbar and close this workbook
Application.DisplayStatusBar = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ThisWorkbook.Close False
End Sub
And this is the code in word I am using:
Sub update_dummy(client As String, m_ultimo As String, y As String, worddoc as string)
Dim wordapp As Object
Dim rngStart As Range
Dim rngEnd As Range
Dim worddoc As String
Dim worddoc2 As String
Dim dekkingsgraad As String
Dim bmks As Bookmarks
Dim bmRange As Range
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Boolean
On Error Resume Next
worddoc2 = "H:\RAPORTAG\" & y & "\" & y & m_ultimo & "\dummytexts.docx"
'open other word
Documents.Open worddoc2, ReadOnly:=True
Documents(worddoc).Activate
Set bmks = Documents(worddoc).Bookmarks
'management summary
If client <> "PMT" Then
i = True
Set rngStart = Documents(worddoc2).Bookmarks("bn0_1_start").Range
Set rngEnd = Documents(worddoc2).Bookmarks("bn0_1_end").Range
End If
If i = True Then
Set rng = Documents(worddoc2).Range(rngStart.Start, rngEnd.End)
rng.Copy
Set bmRange = Documents(worddoc).Bookmarks("bmManagementsummary").Range
bmRange.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)
End If
i = False
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
I have 20 more bookmarks that are defined but the code for them is all the same.
I have seen and solved this problem a few times before, the solution I found was odd.
Copy paste all your code into a text
editor, 1 for word, 1 for excel
Delete all the macros in word or excel or better yet, just create
new files.
Paste all the code into word/excel from your text editor.
I've definitely had this 3 or 4 times in Excel and Access. Especially if you previously had a breakpoint at that location.
It sounds stupid but try it and see if that works, this has saved me from insanity a few times.
I already have a macro that creates sheets and some other stuff. After a sheet has been created do I want to call another macro that copies data from a second excel (its open) to first and active excel file.
First I want to copy to headers, but I cant get that to work - keep getting errors.
Sub CopyData(sheetName as String)
Dim File as String, SheetData as String
File = "my file.xls"
SheetData = "name of sheet where data is"
# Copy headers to sheetName in main file
Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range("A1").Select # fails here: Method Select for class Range failed
Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Selection.Copy ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sheetName).Cells(1, 1)
End Sub
What is wrong ?
I really want to avoid having to make "my file.xls" active.
Edit: I had to give it up and copy the SheetData to target file as a new sheet, before it could work.
Find and select multiple rows
Two years later (Found this on Google, so for anyone else)... As has been mentioned above, you don't need to select anything. These three lines:
Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range("A1").Select
Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Selection.Copy ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sheetName).Cells(1, 1)
Can be replaced with
Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range(Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData). _
Range("A1"), Workbooks(File).Worksheets(SheetData).Range("A1").End(xlToRight)).Copy _
Destination:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sheetName).Cells(1, 1)
This should get around the select error.
Best practice is to open the source file (with a false visible status if you don't want to be bother) read your data and then we close it.
A working and clean code is avalaible on the link below :
http://vba-useful.blogspot.fr/2013/12/how-do-i-retrieve-data-from-another.html
Would you be happy to make "my file.xls" active if it didn't affect the screen? Turning off screen updating is the way to achieve this, it also has performance improvements (significant if you are doing looping while switching around worksheets / workbooks).
The command to do this is:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Don't forget to turn it back to True when your macros is finished.
I don't think you need to select anything at all. I opened two blank workbooks Book1 and Book2, put the value "A" in Range("A1") of Sheet1 in Book2, and submitted the following code in the immediate window -
Workbooks(2).Worksheets(1).Range("A1").Copy Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1).Range("A1")
The Range("A1") in Sheet1 of Book1 now contains "A".
Also, given the fact that in your code you are trying to copy from the ActiveWorkbook to "myfile.xls", the order seems to be reversed as the Copy method should be applied to a range in the ActiveWorkbook, and the destination (argument to the Copy function) should be the appropriate range in "myfile.xls".
I was in need of copying the data from one workbook to another using VBA. The requirement was as mentioned below 1. On pressing an Active X button open the dialogue to select the file from which the data needs to be copied. 2. On clicking OK the value should get copied from a cell / range to currently working workbook.
I did not want to use the open function because it opens the workbook which will be annoying
Below is the code that I wrote in the VBA. Any improvement or new alternative is welcome.
