I have around 50 word documents in an old format which I need to convert to a new format. I was thinking of having a new format template and copying needed numbered fields from the old format into the new format using a macro, and finally saving this new document.
I have numbered fields from 1 to 6 in the old format where some fields are in the header. I need these fields in the new format where the sequence is different.
I am a absolute beginner in macros and need to submit this tomorrow so would appreciate any help or advise urgently.
Word documents download links are mentioned below:
OLD FORMAT : http://www.scribd.com/R0cKyMan/d/90470134-Old-Format
NEW FORMAT : http://www.scribd.com/R0cKyMan/d/90473107-New-Format
So can u help me out with copy header fields. Thanks – R0cKy 3 mins ago
The tables in the Header have to be accessed in a different way.
When a table is in the body, you can use it like this
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(1, 1).Select
Selection.Copy
But to access the table which is in the Header you have to access the Section in which the Header is. In your case the table is in wdHeaderFooterPrimary
Try this
Option Explicit
Sub Sample()
'~~> Copies the 2nd Cell in the first row of a table which is in the Header
ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range.Tables(1).Cell(1, 2).Select
Selection.Copy
'~~> Pastes it in say 1st cell in Row 1 of a table which is in the body
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(2, 3).Select
Selection.PasteAndFormat (wdPasteDefault)
End Sub
Hope this gets you started.

firstly I can see that there is a vast amount of questions across multiple websites asking this same question, so please be patient with me as unfortunately the ones I have seen have either not been suitable or don't work and I am far from an expert.
to give you the full scenario - I have an xlsheet with a massive list of unique identifiers for products for the company I work for sells. I have to (at the moment) manually copy from the sheet to google to see its position in the results.
What would be great is to get a vba code that when I run it (hotkey it), automatically takes the cell contents and sends it into a google search so i effectively reduce my 3 clicks and ctrlV into one hotkey.
There's no need for VBA if all you want to do is open a Google search page one at a time.
With your search phrase in A1, use this formula, for example:
=HYPERLINK("http://www.google.com/search?q=" & A1,A1)
and fill down as far as required.
That will put a clickable link in column B, corresponding to the search phrase in column A.
Here is the code:
Sub Google_search()
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.navigate ("http://www.google.com/search?q=" & Cells(1, 1)) 'it will search for value, what is in column A1
IE.Visible = True
End Sub
Arrange the part Cells(1, 1) for the cell, what you really want to search.

I want to use a number in a cell of my main excel sheet and use it to search for a specific line in another excel file that start with this number. After, the program needs to use the value of a specific cell in this line for a cell in my main excel sheet.
EX : value of the first cell in my sheet : 6.02 . Now the program need to find this value in a column of another file. The line that start with 6.02 contain a cell with the value dog. The value dog need to go inside a cell next to the first one that contain 6.02.
I need your help because I know nothing about VBA. I'm starting today!
Thank you very much !!
You can accomplish this with a VLOOKUP between two books. The guts of the equation are below. You wont actually type in the '[book2]SheetName' portion, this will need to reflect the name of your other workbook and the sheet that you are looking at within that book.
A2 = Look up value (in your example 6.02)
X1 = Column the return value is (in your example "dog")
X2 = Column Index Number (Of if you are not starting from A it represents the (Index Col of Value - Index of Look up Value) + 1
=VLOOKUP(A2,'[Book2]SheetName'!$A$X1,X2,0)

I'm new to VBA and need some help with a macro I'm trying to program
I have 31 sheets representing days of the month and a "Master" tab with the current date (this is used for data input). I want the person doing the data entry to be able to sign and date the sheet, click a button and copy paste the values of the initials into the appropriate date tab. I have mined and manipulated data using the INDEX/MATCH functions with an embedded INDIRECT reference, but I don't know how to do this in VBA.
Example, I'm doing data entry for Aug 14th. The master tab with retrieve all of August 14th's data. After inputting, I want to click a button on a userform and it will copy and paste that into the appropriate "day" tab... in this case, the tab named "14"
Thanks for any help! I'm learning, but getting there.
You just need to refer to the sheet name as a format of the date. For example:
Function TheSheet(ByVal dt As Date) As Worksheet
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets(Format(dt, "dd"))
If Not ws Is Nothing Then Set TheSheet = ws
End Function

Need help in using vba to auto filter columns in a workbook but the filter criteria is in a cell reference on another workbook. To Start, i have 2 workbooks, the first is the report template where the macro is entered and the other is the data file that needs to be filtered.
You can reference reference cells in the (closed) template workbook in your Autofilter VBA statement. ExecuteExcel4Macro is of help here, permitting to evaluate a reference to another, closed workbook the same way it would be typed in a formula.
For example, to autofilter a range by cell B5 of the control sheet in the report template:
myRange.AutoFilter 1, ExecuteExcel4Macro("'C:\myPath\myfolder\[Report.xltx]control'!R5C2")
Notice that ExecuteExcel4Macro requires RC-style addresses, so use R5C2 for B5, R5C3 for C5 and R5C4 for D5...

Here's the situation:
I have two excel sheets.
The first sheet contains a table of product codes and product descriptions (Two columns A and B).
I have a second sheet where someone is supposed to enter the product code and automatically have the next cell fill up with the product description and the cell next to it with the time.
I was wondering if that's do-able without VBA? If so, can someone give me start.
Best,
You could have the first cell that you want to auto fill have an IF statement, where if the cell has no value, nothing happens, and anything other than that gets a calculation.
Using A2:B100 as a Range if you have a header Row. Adjust to your own needs, of course.
IF FUNCTION
'IF (condition, result if true, result if false)'
VLOOKUP FUNCTION
'VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,range_lookup)'
=If($A1 = "", "", VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!$A$2:$B$100,2))
The next cell over would have something similar:
=IF($A1 = "", "", NOW())
This will get you the time. You will also have to have the cell format set to Time.
There is a problem with that. The screenshot below illustrates it.
It will just keep refreshing with the current time over and over. I would use a bit of VBA to solve that by setting the value property instead of a formula.
Sheets("Sheet2").Cells(row,col).Value = Now()
You could copy and paste the value into another cell. Just the value. Not the formula.
Or you could check out this article: about generating Time Stamps.
