Проверить есть ли папка vba excel

Ok so I have the following vba code which I am using to check if a directory exists and if not create the folder structure like so:

If Dir("S:Tasks" & Range("C" & ActiveCell.Row).Value & "" & Range("M" & ActiveCell.Row).Value & "" & Range("Z" & ActiveCell.Row).Value, vbDirectory) = "" Then
    MkDir Path:="S:Tasks" & Range("C" & ActiveCell.Row).Value & "" & Range("M" & ActiveCell.Row).Value & "" & Range("Z" & ActiveCell.Row).Value
    MsgBox "Done"
Else
    MsgBox "found it"
End If

So my destination path is my S: drive

then depending on the value in cell c I want it to check if that folder exists, so if cell c had the word ‘tender’ in it then the directory would look like:

'S:Tender'

If this does not exist, then create, else if this exists then move on and create another folder within this folder with the value in cell M like so:

Cell M = Telecoms

'S:TenderTelecoms'

Then finally, check if a folder with the value in cell Z exists within ‘S:TenderTelecoms’ and if not create it.

Cell Z = 12345

so we would end up with:

'S:TenderTelecoms12345'

Fore some reason I keep getting the error message path not found. Please can someone show me where I am going wrong? Thanks in advance

 Как проверить, существует ли папка, и не создать ли ее?

Вы когда-нибудь пытались проверить, существует ли папка на листе Excel? В этой статье я расскажу о том, как проверить, существует ли папка по указанному пути, в противном случае папка будет создана автоматически по указанному пути.

Проверьте, существует ли папка в определенном пути к файлу с кодом VBA

Создайте папку, если она не существует в определенном пути к файлу с кодом VBA

Проверьте, существует ли папка в определенном пути к файлу с кодом VBA

Следующий код VBA может помочь вам проверить, существует ли папка по определенному пути к файлу, сделайте следующее:

1. Удерживайте ALT + F11 , чтобы открыть Microsoft Visual Basic для приложений окно.

2. Нажмите Вставить > Модулии вставьте следующий код в Модули Окно.

Код VBA: проверьте, существует ли папка в определенном пути к файлу:

Sub Test_Folder_Exist_With_Dir()
'Updateby Extendoffice
    Dim sFolderPath As String
    sFolderPath = "C:UsersDT168DesktopTest folder"
    If Right(sFolderPath, 1) <> "" Then
        sFolderPath = sFolderPath & ""
    End If
    If Dir(sFolderPath, vbDirectory) <> vbNullString Then
        MsgBox "Folder exist", vbInformation, "Kutools for Excel"
    Else
        MsgBox "Folder doesn't exist", vbInformation, "Kutools for Excel"
    End If
End Sub

Примечание: В приведенном выше коде вы должны изменить путь и имя папки C: Users DT168 Desktop Test папка к вашему необходимому.

3, Затем нажмите F5 ключ для запуска этого кода, вы получите следующие результаты:

Создайте папку, если она не существует в определенном пути к файлу с кодом VBA

Проверьте, существует ли папка в пути к файлу, если нет, чтобы создать ее по этому конкретному пути к файлу, следующий код VBA может помочь вам завершить эту работу.

1. Удерживайте ALT + F11 , чтобы открыть Microsoft Visual Basic для приложений окно.

2. Нажмите Вставить > Модулии вставьте следующий код в Модули Окно.

Код VBA: создайте папку, если она не существует в пути к файлу:

Sub MakeMyFolder()
'Updateby Extendoffice
    Dim fdObj As Object
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set fdObj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    If fdObj.FolderExists("C:UsersDT168DesktopTest folder") Then
        MsgBox "Found it.", vbInformation, "Kutools for Excel"
    Else
        fdObj.CreateFolder ("C:UsersDT168DesktopTest folder")
        MsgBox "It has been created.", vbInformation, "Kutools for Excel"
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Внимание: В приведенном выше коде вы должны изменить путь и имя папки C: Users DT168 Desktop Test папка к вашему необходимому.

3. После вставки кода нажмите F5 ключ для его запуска:

(1.) Если папка существует, появится диалоговое окно, как показано на следующем снимке экрана:

(2.) Если папка не существует, она будет создана сразу по определенному пути, и появится окно подсказки, напоминающее вам, что папка была создана, см. Снимок экрана:

I have a spreadsheet that upon clicking a button will duplicate itself by copying/pasting everything to a new workbook and save the file with a name that is dependent upon some variable values (taken from cells on the spreadsheet).
My current goal is to get it to save the sheet in different folders depending on the name of client name (cell value held in variable), while this works on the first run, I get an error after.

The code checks if the directory exists and creates it if not.
This works, but after it is created, running it a second time throws the error:

Runtime Error 75 — path/file access error.

My code:

Sub Pastefile()

Dim client As String
Dim site As String
Dim screeningdate As Date
screeningdate = Range("b7").Value
Dim screeningdate_text As String
screeningdate_text = Format$(screeningdate, "yyyy-mm-dd")
client = Range("B3").Value
site = Range("B23").Value

Dim SrceFile
Dim DestFile

If Dir("C:2013 Recieved Schedules" & "" & client) = Empty Then
    MkDir "C:2013 Recieved Schedules" & "" & client
End If

SrceFile = "C:2013 Recieved Schedulesschedule template.xlsx"
DestFile = "C:2013 Recieved Schedules" & client & "" & client & " " & site & " " & screeningdate_text & ".xlsx"

FileCopy SrceFile, DestFile

Range("A1:I37").Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
    "C:2013 Recieved Schedules" & client & "" & client & " " & site & " " & screeningdate_text & ".xlsx", UpdateLinks:= _
    0
Range("A1:I37").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Range("C6").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWindow.Close

End Sub

You’ll have to excuse my lack of knowledge in this area, I am still learning.
I have a very strong feeling it has something to do with the directory checking logic, as when the error is thrown the MkDir line is highlighted.

The function that allows us to check if a file or folder exists is know as the DIR function.  The syntax for the DIR function is as follows:

DIR [( path [, attributes ])]

The PATH argument is basically an address which returns the name of your file or folder.  If the name is not found, DIR returns an empty string.

The ATTRIBUTES argument (which are optional) are listed in the below table.

The default is vbNormal, which are files with no specific attributes.  You can filter for files with a specific attribute by using the constants listed above.

An interesting thing you can use with the DIR function are wildcards.  Wildcards represent “any characters” and are useful when you want to capture multiple items in a search based on a pattern of characters.  There are two wildcard characters:

Asterisk (*) – This wildcard character will allow for any character(s) in any quantity.

Examples:  

Exc* (any text starting with “Exc”)

*el (any text ending with “el”)

Exc*el (any text starting with “Exc”, ending with “el”, and any character in between)

Question Mark (?) – This wildcards character will allow for any character in a single character position

Examples:   

??cel (The first and second characters can be anything, but the third through fifth characters must be “cel”)

Ex?el (The first and second characters must be “Ex”, the fourth and fifth characters must be “el”, but the third character can be anything)

Practical Examples

Task #1

We will use the DIR function to check if a file exists.  If the file doesn’t exist, we will display a “File does not exist” message to the user.  If the file exists, we will open the file.

Task #2

We will use the DIR function to check if a folder exists.  If the folder doesn’t exist, we will prompt the user to ask if they would like to create that folder.  If the responds with a “Yes”, we will create the folder for them.

Task #1 (Version 1) – Checking for the existence of a file

First, open the Visual Basic Editor (ALT-F11) and create an empty module (i.e. “LessonsFilesFolders”).

The DIR function returns a string, so we need to declare a variable named FileName to hold the returned value.

Dim FileName As String

The next step is to query a folder for a file and return the filename if it exists, or an empty string if the file does not exist.  We will store the response in the FileName variable we created in the previous step.

FileName = VBA.FileSystem.Dir(“your folder nameyour file name”)

In our example we will use the following code:

FileName = VBA.FileSystem.Dir(“C:UsersLGDesktopVBAS2_recordMacros_start.xlsx”)

If the file does not exist, the DIR function will return an empty string.  We will test for the empty string response with an IF statement.  If the file does not exist, we will display a message stating such.  If the file does exist, this first version will simply show the filename in a message box.

If FileName = VBA.Constants.vbNullString Then
    MsgBox "File does not exist."
Else
    MsgBox FileName
End If

The completed code should look like the following:

Sub FileExists()
Dim FileName As String
    FileName = VBA.FileSystem.Dir("C:UsersLGDesktopVBAS2_recordMacros_start.xlsx")
    If FileName = VBA.Constants.vbNullString Then
        MsgBox "File does not exist."
    Else
        MsgBox FileName
    End If
    
End Sub

Execute the code by pressing F5 and observe the response.

This confirms that the file exists in the defined folder.

Task #1 (Version 2) – Checking for the existence of a file using wildcards

Alter the code to use wildcards when searching for the filename.

FileName = VBA.FileSystem.Dir("C:UsersLGDesktopVBAS2_*start.xls?)

We will also alter the code; instead of displaying a message, we will open the requested file.

Workbooks.Open "C:UsersLGDesktopVBA" & FileName

The updated code should appear as follows:

Sub FileExists()
Dim FileName As String
    FileName = VBA.FileSystem.Dir("C:UsersLGDesktopVBAS2_*start.xls?")
    If FileName = VBA.Constants.vbNullString Then
        MsgBox "File does not exist."
    Else
        Workbooks.Open "C:UsersLGDesktopVBA" & FileName
    End If
    
End Sub

Execute the code by pressing F5 and observe that the file opens.

Task #2 – Check if a folder exists

In this task, we will check to see if a folder exists.  If the folder does not exist, we will prompt the user and ask if they would like to create the folder.

We will create two variables:

Path – Hold the full folderfilename information

Folder – Hold only the folder name

Dim Path as String
Dim Folder as String

We will set the Path variable to point to a folder that does not exist:

Path = “C:UsersLGDesktopVBAS12”

We will set the Folder variable to hold the folder location stored by the Path variable.  Because this is a folder, we will use the optional constant vbDirectory in the DIR function.

Folder = Dir(Path,vbDirectory)

As we did earlier, we will check to see if the response returns an empty string.  If the Folder variable contains an empty string, we will prompt the user to ask if they wish to create the folder.

We need to store the user’s response, so we will create a variable to hold the response.

Dim Answer as VbMsgBoxResult

If the folder does not exist, we will display a message and store the user’s response in the Answer variable.

Answer = MsgBox("Path does not exist. Would you like to create it?", vbYesNo, "Create Path?")

Now we will test the answer.  We will use a Case statement to test the response.

If the user responds with “Yes”, we will create the folder.  If the user responds with anything else, we will exit the subroutine.

Select Case Answer
    Case vbYes
        VBA.FileSystem.MkDir (Path)
    Case Else
        Exit Sub
End Select

If the folder does exist, we will inform the user of its existence with a message box response.

Else
    MsgBox "Folder exists."

The completed code should look like the following:

Sub Path_Exists()
Dim Path As String
Dim Folder As String
Dim Answer As VbMsgBoxResult
    Path = "C:UsersLGDesktopVBAS12"
    Folder = Dir(Path, vbDirectory)
 
    If Folder = vbNullString Then
        Answer = MsgBox("Path does not exist. Would you like to create it?", vbYesNo, "Create Path?")
        Select Case Answer
            Case vbYes
                VBA.FileSystem.MkDir (Path)
            Case Else
                Exit Sub
        End Select
    Else
        MsgBox "Folder exists."
    End If
End Sub

Execute the code by pressing F5.  Because the folder does not exist, we are presented with the following message prompt.

If we answer “Yes”, the folder is created.

If we execute the macro a second time, we see the following response.

This is because the folder was created in the previous test.

Conclusion

We have demonstrated how you can use the DIR function to test whether a file or folder exists and decide what actions you wish to perform depending on the outcome of the test.
