I'm working in an environment with always follow this hierarchy:
F:\Client Documents\"JobCategory"\"JobNumber-ClientName"\Estimate
Being:
So at the moment, I have to type correctly the whole job number and name and trough excel I extract the job category and so on... but in order to automatize some other macros. Is there any way where the script finds (or search/match) the first 5 digits and if it match, use that name as a path?
Eg. if I know job # 15255, F:\\Client Documents\\15200\\15255-JohnSmith or \\15255-JohnSnow will be a match?
If relevant... the VBA script I have so far to save my workbook is:
Dim JobCat As String, JobDetails As String
JobCat = Sheet12.Range("P4").Text
JobNumber = Sheet12.Range("P5").Text
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"F:\Client Documents\" & JobCat & "\" & JobDetails & "\Estimate.xlsm" _
, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub
Where in P5
I type the hole JobNumber-ClientName and P4
extract its Number category.
Any help, even to clarify if it's possible will be helpful
You can use the Dir
function to get the first Folder that matches your search string (if you run Dir
without parameters after the first execution, you will get the next Folder that matches the search string)
This should work for you:
Public Sub saveMe()
Dim JobCat As String, JobDetails As String
Dim Path As String
JobCat = Sheet12.Range("P4").Text
JobNumber = Sheet12.Range("P5").Text
Path = Dir("F:\Client Documents\" & JobCat & "\" & JobDetails & "*", vbDirectory)
If Path <> "" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
Path & "\Estimate.xlsm" _
, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
End If
End Sub
Thanks to @Dorian , had to modify a little bit it's path so my final script is:
Public Sub saveMe()
Dim JobCat As String, JobNumber As String
Dim Path As String
JobCat = Sheet1.Range("A5").Text
JobNumber = Sheet1.Range("A4").Text
Path = Dir("C:\test\" & JobCat & "\" & JobNumber & "*", vbDirectory)
If Path <> "" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:\test\" & JobCat & "\" & Path & "\Estimate.xlsm" _
, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
End If
End Sub
