Lots of ways to do this is, https://lmgtfy.com/?q=vba+check+if+file+exists ( https://lmgtfy.com/?qtype=search&q=vba+check+if+file+exists )


For example
Dir Function ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/dir-function )

If _ “MyFile.xls ”_ is at _ “C\Desktop” _ Then _ Dir(“ C\Desktop\MyFile.xls”, vbNormal ) = “MyFile.xls ”

If _ “MyFile.xls ” _is Not at_ “ C\Desktop ” _ Then _Dir(“ C\Desktop\MyFile.xls” , vbNormal ) = “”

[DocAElstein]

Your macro is good :)

[fixer]

Bcoz of u Yesterday u taught me about else so i done the same

[DocAElstein]

This will also work

Sub VBACheckIfFileExists()
Dim StrDirBack As String
Let StrDirBack = Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\FundsCheck.xlsb", vbNormal)
If StrDirBack = "" Then
MsgBox prompt:="Download2"
End If

Let StrDirBack = Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\1.xls", vbNormal)
If StrDirBack = "" Then
MsgBox prompt:="Download1"
End If
End Sub

And also this will work.


Sub VBACheckIfFileExists()
Dim StrDirBack As String
Let StrDirBack = Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\FundsCheck.xlsb", vbNormal)
If StrDirBack = "" Then MsgBox prompt:="Download2"

Let StrDirBack = Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\1.xls", vbNormal)
If StrDirBack = "" Then MsgBox prompt:="Download1"

End Sub
You can choose.

I like to use Else and also EndIf

It is just a personal choice.
Just my personal preference

With Else is good to add ' notes . Later I can remember what is all about

Sub VBACheckIfFileExists()
Dim StrDirBack As String
Let StrDirBack = Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\FundsCheck.xlsb", vbNormal)
If StrDirBack = "" Then
MsgBox prompt:="Download2"
Else ' My StrDirBack is = "FundsCheck.xlsb" so ...
' ... I do not do anything here
End If

Let StrDirBack = Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\1.xls", vbNormal)
If StrDirBack = "" Then
MsgBox prompt:="Download1"
Else ' My StrDirBack is = "1.xls" so ...
' ... I do not do anything here
End If

End Sub

Sub VBACheckIfFileExists()
Dim StrDirBack As String
Let StrDirBack = Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\FundsCheck.xlsb", vbNormal)
If StrDirBack = "" Then ' My StrDirBack is = "" ===='_-
MsgBox prompt:="Download2"
Else ' My StrDirBack is = "FundsCheck.xlsb" so ...
' ... I do not do anything here
End If ' End If StrDirBack = "" =================='_-

Let StrDirBack = Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\1.xls", vbNormal)
If StrDirBack = "" Then ' My StrDirBack is = "" ====|||
MsgBox prompt:="Download1"
Else ' My StrDirBack is = "1.xls" so ...
' ... I do not do anything here
End If ' End If StrDirBack = "" ==================|||

End Sub

But you can choose.

Sure Sir & thnx for ur Great Support & for making my Journey Simpler

[fixer]

vba is placed in a seperate file
and the file which we have to copy is located in C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\Files and the file name is 1.xlsx
so we have to copy that file and paste it to (C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\save it) this location only if file is not present
and if file is present in (C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\save it) this location then we have to copy and paste the file to C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\save it\New folder

so plz help me in solving this problem sir

[DocAElstein]

To search for:-
vba copy file from one directory to another
Try…-
https://lmgtfy.com/?q=vba+copy+file+from+one+directory+to+another
https://lmgtfy.com/?qtype=search&q=vba+copy+file+from+one+directory+to+another&rnd=0.5036912822145674
_.. then maybe https://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s3/win026.htm

Copy one file
For one file you can use the VBA FileCopy statement

Sub Copy_One_File() ' https://www.rondebruin.nl/win/s3/win026.htm FileCopy statement https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/filecopy-statement
FileCopy Source:="C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\Files\1.xlsx", Destination:="C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\save it\1.xlsx"
FileCopy Source:="C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\Files\1.xlsx", Destination:="C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\save it\New folder\1.xlsx"
End Sub




Combining the above with macros from here: http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2423-Check-file-is-present-or-not-VBA-Check-if-file-exists-at-given-path?p=12560&viewfull=1#post12560

C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\ save it\New folder
save it New folder.JPG https://imgur.com/BUFvGRh

Copy and paste file , 1.xlsx , to a new location if it does not exist there, else copy and paste it to a different location.

The source file to be copied has the name , 1.xlsx .
It is in folder , Files , at the Desktop , C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop
So it has the full path and file name of:-
C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\Files\1.xlsx

The file needs to be pasted to one of two locations…
The full path and file name for the file to be pasted ( the Destination ) is:-

Either

__ if file is not present at C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\save , it then paste it there:-
C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\save it\1.xlsx

__ Else if the file, 1.xlsx , is already present at C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\save it , then paste it at:
C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\save it\New folder\1.xlsx

Hi

Sub STEP12()
Dim Val As String, wb1 As Workbook, wb2 As Workbook, srcWS As Worksheet, desWS As Worksheet
Dim i As Long, v1 As Variant, v2 As Variant, rngList As Object
Set wb1 = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\ap.xls")
Set wb2 = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\Files\AlertCodes.xl sx")
Set desWS = wb1.Worksheets.Item(1)
Set srcWS = wb2.Worksheets.Item(1)
v1 = desWS.Range("E2", desWS.Range("E" & desWS.Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
v2 = srcWS.Range("A2", srcWS.Range("A" & srcWS.Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Resize(, 2).Value
Set rngList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For i = 1 To UBound(v1, 1)
Val = v1(i, 1)
If Not rngList.exists(Val) Then
rngList.Add Key:=Val, Item:=i + 1
End If
Next i
For i = 1 To UBound(v2, 1)
Val = v2(i, 1)
If rngList.exists(Val) Then
desWS.Cells(rngList(Val), 25) = v2(i, 2)
End If
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

wb1.Save
wb2.Save
wb1.Close
wb2.Close

End Sub




This is the macro
I need a slight change in it
If ap.xls files is present then only this macro will work & if ap.xls file is not present then it should not do anything
I can use on error resume next code in this macro but u have suggested not to use that
So i need help for the same

[DocAElstein]

Hi
On Error Resume Next is bad becauase it does not solve any problem. It does not stop any error. It does not stop anything going wrong. It just ignores errors. The error is still there. But On Error Resume Next tells VBA not to tell you about the error, and not to stop the macro with an error message, but instead to keep running the macro even if there was an error.
Also, even if there are more errors, they will all be ignored.
So this may cause a big chaos because you will never know where or what went wrong.


....
If ap.xls files is present then only this macro will work & if ap.xls file is not present then it should not do anything...
Probably you want something like we did here: https://excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2424-VBA-Dir-File-Copy-and-Paste-Check-if-file-exists-then-copy-file-from-one-directory-to-another

One simpla way, would be to just Exit the Sub at the start of the macro , if the File is not present

Sub STEP12() '
If Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\ap.xls", vbNormal) = "" Then Exit Sub





Or

Sub STEP12() '
If Dir("C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\ap.xls", vbNormal) = "" Then MsgBox Prompt:="The file is not present": Exit Sub

Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

wb1.Save
wb2.Save
wb1.Close

I think we have to use Application.ScreenUpdating = false or Application.display - false something like that
i dont know what to do so plz guide

[DocAElstein]

Hi

....
but it has issue when the file is not present it shows me a msg that files is not present ..
:confused:
I don’t know what you are trying to say…

Do you mean that you get an error?
If so, what does the error say exactly
?
Where does the error occur ?

I am no longer monitoring what its doings. It had curiosity appeal for a while, but even that has worn off me now!
It’s getting worse by the Day. Its still doing whatever it is that it is doing and getting Replies and answers at excelforum.com and likely a few places I don’t know about.

Hello Guys,

If column M data of ap.xls matches with column A data of sample2.xlsx (sheet2) (May be Column M data will be blank or 0 so ignore that)& column G data of oo.xlsx matches with column A data of sample2.xlsx (sheet2) then move the file C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop\sample5.xlsx to C:\Users\WolfieeeStyle\Desktop

Macro will be placed in a seperate file macro.xlsm

(Number will be positive or negatiove , No issue with the positive or negative , the number should be present is must)
