I am trying to append this code that works great down to the ' Comment lines
where I am trying to get the (Comments").value to set to blank("") if the string has only one item, otherwise if more than one then the builtindocument.comments field is set to the full string. Previous posts helped solve the problem at the end with the replace to remove the extra commas to clean up the string list. Not sure of the best approach to take with all the variables going on. . . I've left my attempts commented out to help follow the logic but there may be something better. Any help is most appreciated as this will save many hours of effort to fix manually as I use it to process all the files (4000+) in a data directory. Public Sub FillFilePropsComments() '(Optional control As IRibbonControl) Dim ws As Worksheet Dim Strlist() As String ' list for permit numbers Dim ptr As Integer ' pointer/ counter for strList Dim PermitNumber As Variant Dim DupFound As Boolean Dim StrComment As String Dim PropAuthor As String ptr = 0 ' init pointer - currently there are zero permit numbers in list ReDim Strlist(1 To Sheets.Count) ' init size of list, should not be more Permits than sheets For Each ws In Worksheets PermitNumber = GetPermitNumber(ws) ' get the permit number DupFound = False ' assume it is not already in list For i = ptr To 1 Step -1 ' start from back of list, see if it is a dup If PermitNumber = Strlist(i) Then DupFound = True Exit For End If Next i If Not DupFound Then ' it is not already in list ptr = ptr + 1 ' make a place for it in the list by pointing to next empty slot Strlist(ptr) = PermitNumber ' store new permit number End If Next ws ReDim Preserve Strlist(1 To ptr) ' resize list to number of permits QuickSort Strlist, LBound(Strlist), UBound(Strlist) ' sort the list For i = 1 To ptr ' get the list into one long string StrComment = StrComment & Strlist(i) & ", " Next i StrComment = myStr myStr = Replace(myStr, ",", " ") myStr = Application.Trim(myStr) myStr = Replace(myStr, " ", ", ") myStr = StrComment ' 'ReDim Preserve StrComment(1 To ptr) ' If StrComment(ptr).Count = (1) Then ' StrComment = "" ' ElseIf StrComment(i).Count (1) Then ' StrComment ` ' store the string in the FileComments Property box ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Comments ").Value = StrComment |
