Excel Macro to search if content of a column (filename) exists in a folder

Question

I have an excel sheet where I have the names of jpegs in columns F & G from rows 2 to 1800. I would like to use a macro in order to see if these Jpegs exist in a folder on my computer (mac) at a certain directory (ex. /user/Dropbox/Content/productinfo/pictures). If they do exist i would like to return the value "exists", if not, then "doesnt". The only issue is in a few cases no Jpeg exists in the spreadsheet so there is nothing to look up

I'm new to excel Macros. Please help me out!

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Dim iCount As Integer
iCount = Application.WorksheetFunction.COUNTIF(Range("F2:G1800"),".jpg")

if iCount > 0 Then

  'Do your checks
End If

Answer 2

You can use a user-defined function for that. In you case, you can call the below using:

=fileexists("C:\MyPath\"&f2)

Here's the function

Public Function FileExists(sPath As String)

If lcase(right(sPath,5)) <> ".jpeg" Then
    FileExists = ""
Else
    If Len(Dir(sPath)) > 0 Then
        FileExists = "Exists"
    Else
        FileExists = ""
    End If
End If


End Function
