I'm currently doing automation testing and need to write a dynamic value to an existing excel document in a specific column, this is what I have so far. Forgive I'm a novice
Sub WriteTRNtoExcelDoc
Dim fileName, sheetName
fname = "<Path_To_The_File>"
sheetName = "Sheet1"
Set app = Sys.OleObject("Excel.Application")
Set book = app.Workbooks.Open(fname)
Set sheet = book.Sheets(sheetName)
' What do I do next to add a value to a specific column or cell in this
' spreadsheet?
End Sub
Thanks in advance!
You create an Excel instance in a VBScript with
CreateObject("Excel.Application")
An already running Excel instance can be grabbed with
GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
In a worksheet you can access cells by using the Cells property:
Set app = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
app.Visible = True
Set book = app.Workbooks.Open(fname)
Set sheet = book.Sheets(sheetName)
sheet.Cells(2,3).Value = "foo"
Edit: If you need to find the first empty cell in a given column, you can use something like this:
row = 1
Do Until IsEmpty(sheets.Cells(row, 3).Value)
row = row + 1
Loop
sheet.Cells(row, 3).Value = RemPropValue

I want to make an Excel workbook that I have much quicker.
I have a big product database with the product names, quantities, delivery number and delivery date (ProductDB). I put in another sheet the products that I have sold (product names and quantity sold) and want to filter and copy those that are corresponding from the database so I can calculate in the second step the remaining quantity and past the remaining quantity to the database.
Everything is working well and the calculation is good. The only thing is, the Advancedfilter xlfiltercopy option is too slow if I have to input 5000 lines of product names.
I have heard that arrays are much faster. How could I do that? The current way I do it is like this:
Sub UseFilter()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheet1.Range("G1:Z100000").Cells.Delete
Dim lastrow As Long, c As Range
Dim myrange As Range
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim wksSheet As Worksheet
Dim wksSheetDB As Worksheet
lastrow = Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Sheet1.Columns("G").NumberFormat = "0"
Filter product codes from the database according to sold product codes:
Set myrange = Range("A1:A" & lastrow)
For Each c In myrange
If Len(c.Value) <> 0 Then
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(Worksheets.Count).Columns("A:D").AdvancedFilter xlFilterCopy, _
Sheet1.Range("A1:A" & lastrow), Sheet1.Range("G1"), False
End If
Next
Sort the filtered list first by product code, then by the delivery number:
Dim lngRowMax As Long
Dim wsf As WorksheetFunction
With Sheet1
lastrow = Cells(Rows.Count, 8).End(xlUp).Row
Range("G1:J" & lastrow).Sort Key1:=Range("G1:G" & lastrow), _
Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("I1:I" & lastrow), _
Order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, DataOption1:=xlSortTextAsNumbers
Set wsf = Application.WorksheetFunction
lngRowMax = .UsedRange.Rows.Count
End With
I'm only interested in filtering and copying of the corresponding product information (name (A), quantity (B), delivery nr (C) and date (D)). Does anyone know how I can do that?
Thank you very much in advance. I'm really looking forward for a solution that improves the pace of the file. Currently it is unbelievably slow.
i had the same problem with advanced filter being so slow. you might want to consider using dictionary. for my 2 spreadsheets i wanted to compare i made 2 dictionaries and compared the values and it was so amazingly fast. dictionaries are really easy and a simple google search you can find a ton of tutorials and examples. good luck.
There is a possible solution with dictionaries, but I have only one small issue. I will explain after the code:
'Count num rows in the database
NumRowsDB = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(Worksheets.Count).Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count
' --------------------- SAVE DATABASE DATA -----------------------
'Dictionary for all DB data
Set dbDict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set dbRange = Range("A2:A" & (NumRowsDB + 1))
For Each SKU In dbRange
If Len(SKU.Value) <> 0 Then
' check if the SKU allready exists, if not create a new array list for that dictionary entry
' a list is necessary because there can be multiple entries in the db range with the same SKU
If Not dbDict.Exists(CStr(SKU.Value)) Then
Set prodList = CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
dbDict.Add CStr(SKU.Value), prodList
End If
' for this specific product code, save the range where the product information is saved in the dictionary
rangeStr = "A" & SKU.Row & ":D" & SKU.Row
dbDict(CStr(SKU.Value)).Add (rangeStr)
End If
Next
' ----------- READ SALE/Reverse/Consumption INFO ------------------
NumRowsSale = Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count
Set saleRange = Range("A2:A" & (NumRowsSale + 1))
Dim unionRange As Range
For Each sale In saleRange
' check if the SKU for the sale exists in db
If Len(sale.Value) <> 0 And dbDict.Exists(CStr(sale.Value)) Then
For Each dbRange In dbDict(CStr(sale.Value))
If unionRange Is Nothing Then
Set unionRange = Range(dbRange)
Else
Set unionRange = Union(unionRange, Range(dbRange))
End If
Next
End If
Next
unionRange.Copy Destination:=Range("G2") 'copy all received ranges to G2
Set dbDict = Nothing
The line "NumRowsDB = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(Worksheets.Count).Range("A2", Range("A2").End(xlDown)).Rows.Count" is not working. I have to refer to another sheet (the last sheet which is the current database) to get the data. What is the problem that I cannot refer to another sheet in the same workbook?
Thank you for your suggestions.
I working with CATscript in CATIA to create Macros. I am trying to create a CATscript to translate a feature in CATIA.
When I run the CATscript I Should select the feature that should be translated and and the feature will be translated.
But I am getting an runtime error Type mismatch:'part1.CreateReferenceFromObject'
I could not find the solution for this problem.
Looking forward for your help.
Thanks in Advance.
Sub CATMain()
Set partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Set part1 = partDocument1.Part
Set hybridShapeFactory1 = part1.HybridShapeFactory
Set hybridShapeDirection1 = hybridShapeFactory1.AddNewDirectionByCoord(1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000)
Set hybridShapeTranslate1 = hybridShapeFactory1.AddNewEmptyTranslate()
Set UserSel = partDocument1.Selection
Dim type1(0)
type1(0) = "HybridShape"
'--------------------------------------
'Dim input As Object
input = UserSel.SelectElement2(type1, "select input.", False)
Set reference1 = part1.CreateReferenceFromObject(input)
hybridShapeTranslate1.ElemToTranslate = reference1
hybridShapeTranslate1.Direction = hybridShapeDirection1
hybridShapeTranslate1.DistanceValue = 1.000000
Set hybridBody2 = hybridBodies1.Item("Geometrical Set.3")
hybridBody2.AppendHybridShape hybridShapeTranslate1
part1.InWorkObject = hybridShapeTranslate1
part1.Update
End Sub
your problem is that you are trying to create a reference from a Selection object.
input = UserSel.SelectElement2(type1, "select input.", False)
This returns the type Selection. You can dig into the input and get the actual object that you select.
try:
Dim myReference as Reference
Dim myExpectedObject as HybridShape 'or use variant
Set mySelectedObject = input.Item2(1).Value 'this will grab the first item from the selection collection
set myReference = part1.CreateReferenceFromObject(mySelectedObject)
'continue the rest of your code
Also, you should always clear the selection before you use a user selection as a good habit.
UserSel.Clear 'call this before you call a SelectElement selection function
My code takes a file name from TextBox1, opens that file and indexes through all the unique values in column B. It then takes a second file, file name in TextBox2, and filters it based on the current index from the first file. It then takes the filtered results and copies them to a sheet in the new workbook. A new sheet is then generated in the new workbook to paste the next filtered result.
My issue is that I have many rows of data and for some reason the filtered data is not be selected after many iterations. My program selects all filtered data when it starts, but at some point it just begins selecting the headers instead of all the visible cells. Let me know if I am missing something or if there is a quick workaround. Thank you.
Sub NewFileGenerate()
Dim I As Integer
Dim N As Integer
Dim X As Integer
Dim IndexedCell As String
X = 1

'Need to count only populated cells

Set Newbook = Workbooks.Add
For N = 2 To I - 1
Application.CutCopyMode = True
Windows(TextBox1.Value).Activate
IndexedCell = Cells(N, 2).Value
Windows(TextBox2.Value).Activate
With Sheets(1)
With .Range("A1", "Z" & I - 1)

End Sub
I'm guessing that your source worksheet (textbox2.value) has more rows than your index worksheet (textbox1.value). You set I equal to the number of rows in your index worksheet, then you tell the autofilter to only use that number of rows. You need to change the line "With .Range("A1", "Z" & I - 1)" so it picks up all of the rows in your source worksheet.
I am trying to write a script that would
go through a list of email addresses from my domain
for each of these emails addressess get the display name and job title
output the email, display name, job title to a csv file
I am sure this is fairly simply, the only problem that I have here is that I have no idea how to access the contact card of a contact.
How do I pass the strAddress variable to a olContactItem object?
EDIT:
To improve the question - I don't know how can I view the contact of the existing user#mydomain.com from a list of email addresses in a csv file (not added to my contacts list or anything)
The code I have so far:
Const olContactItem = 2
strEmail = "user#mydomain.com"
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set appOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MyItem = appOutlook.CreateItem(olContactItem)
With MyItem
.Email1Address = strEmail
.jobTitle = strJobTitleVar
End With
I need to open the addess book page of that person, extract the values of Job Title and Display Name to relevant variables. However, I get stuck, because I get to a point where I am rather adding a new contact than viewing the existing person's info.
Is this more clear? How can I search through the address book for a particular person's info?
Answering my own question - this seems to be doing everything I need:
strInputEmail = objInputFile.ReadLine
set appOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
set objNameSpace = appOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
set objContacts = objNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
Set objContact = objContacts.Items.Find("[IMAddress] = """ & strInputEmail & """")
strFullName = objContact.FullName
strJobTitle = objContact.JobTitle
strBusinessAddress = objContact.BusinessAddress
msgBox strFullName & strJobTitle & strBusinessAddress
It reads the inputfile, gets the email address as a variable, finds the person, gets the particular info as variables.
Thanks for help anyway!
Try something along the following lines. To see what the other properties and their DASL names are, look at the live GAL objects using OutlookSpy (I am its author): either click IAddrBook button and drill down the container hierarchy or click IMAPISession | QueryIdentity to see the current user or (if you have a message with a particular recipient) click IMessage, go to the GetRecipientTable table, double on the recipient.
Once you have the IMailUser window, select the property that you need and look at the DASL edit box.
Const olContactItem = 2
strEmail = "user#mydomain.com"
set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set appOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
set NS = appOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
NS.Logon
set Recip = NS.CreateRecipient(strEmail)
Recip.Resolve
set AE = Recip.AddressEntry
Set MyItem = appOutlook.CreateItem(olContactItem)
With MyItem
.Email1Address = strEmail
'read PR_TITLE property
.jobTitle = AE.PropertyAccessor.GetProperty("http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x3A17001F")
End With
Suppose I have Sheet(1) in an excel. Now i do also have 2500 rows which has data for the columns from A to BO.Now I want the data to copy from these sheet to another sheet of the same Excel file for 2500 rows but not the whole the columns,rather i need only columns from A to AA data to copy to the new sheet.
So how to frame it using VBscript?
Please help me.
How to copy rows of from one sheet to another sheet using vbscript
To copy data from one sheet to another you can use the Copy en PasteSpecial commands. To do this with a .vbs script do the following:
' Create Excel object
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
' Open the workbook
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open _
("C:\myworkbook.xlsx")
' Set to True or False, whatever you like
objExcel.Visible = True
' Select the range on Sheet1 you want to copy
objWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:AA25").Copy
' Paste it on Sheet2, starting at A1
objWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").PasteSpecial
' Activate Sheet2 so you can see it actually pasted the data
objWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
If you want to do this in Excel with a VBS macro you can also call the copy and paste methods. Only your workbook object will be something like ActiveWorkbook
This code is Working fine. Just Copy and paste it.
