Using 2003, although this workbook might also be used in 2007.
I adapted the code below to help me autoload sheets from other source workbooks so that I can get all my raw data in one workbook without having to manually copy/paste sheets. In my initial testing of the following code, I used a local drive/path (different folders on my desktop) and everything worked as expected. However, now that I'm testing against the real path (LAN location), I'm getting an error on ChDrive. I'm thinking that maybe ChDrive only works on mapped drive letters? Since this workbook needs to work for multiple users who will have the network drive mapped to different drive letters, I need to use the raw path. Any suggestions? Sub TestTheRawDataFunction 'sub works with a local drive path, but not with this network path zz = PullAllRawData(Sheet1, Sheet15, _ "\\wabr833\Pemgt\Scorecard\Operations\RawData1 ", , _ "Select the current scorecard source file") End Sub Function PullAllRawData(SourceSheet As Worksheet, _ DestSheet As Worksheet, _ Optional PathOnly As String, _ Optional MyFullFilePath As String, _ Optional TitleString As String) Dim SaveDriveDir As String 'save default path SaveDriveDir = CurDir If Len(TitleString) = 0 Then TitleString = "Please select the appropriate file" If Len(MyFullFilePath) 0 Then 'do nothing ElseIf Len(PathOnly) 0 Then 'change to new path ChDrive PathOnly '<< errors here, "invalid procedure call or argument" ChDir PathOnly 'get the file NewFN = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls*), *.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm;*.csv", Title:=TitleString) If NewFN = False Then ' They pressed Cancel MsgBox "Stopping because you did not select a file" 'return to original default path ChDrive SaveDriveDir ChDir SaveDriveDir Exit Function Else MyFullFilePath = NewFN End If 'change back to default path Else 'start from scratch End If Dim I As Integer Dim owb As Workbook 'original/main Dim twb As Workbook 'temp/data file Dim ows As Worksheet Dim tws As Worksheet DestSheet.Activate Set owb = ActiveWorkbook Set ows = ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet 'clear the destination sheet to make sure there isn't leftover old data ows.Cells.Clear Application.StatusBar = "Opening File " & MyFullFilePath 'Open source workbook Application.DisplayAlerts = False Set twb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=MyFullFilePath, UpdateLinks:=0, ReadOnly:=True) Application.DisplayAlerts = True twb.Activate twb.Sheets(1).Activate 'grab the data twb.Sheets(1).Cells.Select Selection.Copy ows.Activate ows.Range("A1").Select ActiveSheet.Paste ows.Range("A1").Select ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial (xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats) 'Select/copy a single cell to avoid clipboard warnings ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Copy 'close the workbook to get it out of the way Application.DisplayAlerts = False 'just in case the clipboard trick doesn't work twb.Close SaveChanges:=False Application.DisplayAlerts = True Application.StatusBar = False 'return to original default path ChDrive SaveDriveDir ChDir SaveDriveDir End Function |
