Hi

I have been using RDB's script for summarising a worksheet from
different workbooks to great effect. I have modified it to suit my
initial needs as below. However, I was wanting some (a lot) of
assistance to change/modify the "getopenfile" code to be able to read
a list of xls file names in a column and extract the same ranges into
the summary worksheet rather than opening a directory and selecting
files.

In essence, I want to have a worksheet with a list of xls file names
of workbooks that I will be able to extract data from each worksheet
that has the exact same structure. The data will be placed in rows
adjacent to the xls filename.

The whole project is about creating class/cohort summaries of student
grades from individual student profiles that have been created in
excel.

Greg

Thanks Ron for your super fast response. The script works almost how I
would want it. How can I adjust it to read the files to summarise as eg:
student.xls rather than D:\summaries\student.xls?

The list of students is in a format without the pathways. Just as
student.xls

Otherwise, I know I can adjust the script to suit my needs. No error checks
are needed as this has been done in previous scripts to get to the point of
being able to summarise student results. Although, a student.xls file could
have been accidently deleted after results have been inputted! An error
check would be wise then.

Regards

Greg

Thanks Ron for your super fast response. The script works almost how I
would want it. How can I adjust it to read the files to summarise as eg:
student.xls rather than D:\summaries\student.xls?

The list of students is in a format without the pathways. Just as
student.xls

Otherwise, I know I can adjust the script to suit my needs. No error checks
are needed as this has been done in previous scripts to get to the point of
being able to summarise student results. Although, a student.xls file could
have been accidently deleted after results have been inputted! An error
check would be wise then.

Hi

I have been using RDB's script for summarising a worksheet from
different workbooks to great effect. I have modified it to suit my
initial needs as below. However, I was wanting some (a lot) of
assistance to change/modify the "getopenfile" code to be able to read
a list of xls file names in a column and extract the same ranges into
the summary worksheet rather than opening a directory and selecting
files.

In essence, I want to have a worksheet with a list of xls file names
of workbooks that I will be able to extract data from each worksheet
that has the exact same structure. The data will be placed in rows
adjacent to the xls filename.

The whole project is about creating class/cohort summaries of student
grades from individual student profiles that have been created in
excel.

Hi again

I have this script doing all that I need now except one thing. Some
of the student.xls files in the column list are
"O'Student.xls" (O'DONNELL.xls). In other words the use of an
apostrophe in the name. Trouble is, the script doesn't like it and
just places the file name in the row rather than the data it is
supposed to extract. Any thoughts except for physically renaming
these files and omitting the apostrophe in the file name.

Other wise, the script is working beautifully.

Greg

Ok, here is the fix

'build the formula string
JustFileName = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(JustFileName, "'", "''")
PathStr = "'" & JustFolder & "\[" & JustFileName & "]" & ShName & "'!"

We change the ' to '' if ithere is a ' in the file name

Let me know if it is working for you

assistance to change/modify the "getopenfile" code to be able to read
a list of xls file names in a column and extract the same ranges into

In essence, I want to have a worksheet with a list of xls file names
of workbooks that I will be able to extract data from each worksheet
that has the exact same structure. The data will be placed in rows
adjacent to the xls filename.

The whole project is about creating class/cohort summaries of student

Hi again

I have this script doing all that I need now except one thing. Some
of the student.xls files in the column list are
"O'Student.xls" (O'DONNELL.xls). In other words the use of an
apostrophe in the name. Trouble is, the script doesn't like it and
just places the file name in the row rather than the data it is
supposed to extract. Any thoughts except for physically renaming
these files and omitting the apostrophe in the file name.

Other wise, the script is working beautifully.

Greg

Working OK for Greg now

Ok, here is the fix

'build the formula string
JustFileName = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(JustFileName, "'", "''")
PathStr = "'" & JustFolder & "\[" & JustFileName & "]" & ShName & "'!"

We change the ' to '' if ithere is a ' in the file name

Let me know if it is working for you

Thanks Ron for your super fast response. The script works almost how I
would want it. How can I adjust it to read the files to summarise as eg:
student.xls rather than D:\summaries\student.xls?

The list of students is in a format without the pathways. Just as
student.xls

Otherwise, I know I can adjust the script to suit my needs. No error checks
are needed as this has been done in previous scripts to get to the point of
being able to summarise student results. Although, a student.xls file could
have been accidently deleted after results have been inputted! An error
check would be wise then.

Hi Greg

I changed the first example on my page fast (not test it)
http://www.rondebruin.nl/summary2.htm

With in columns A in the sheet ron in my example the path/file names
Test this one(there is no error check in this example if the file exist)

We can add that but I must go now

Test it and post back

Hi

I have been using RDB's script for summarising a worksheet from
different workbooks to great effect. I have modified it to suit my
initial needs as below. However, I was wanting some (a lot) of
assistance to change/modify the "getopenfile" code to be able to read
a list of xls file names in a column and extract the same ranges into
the summary worksheet rather than opening a directory and selecting
