Open csv files & copy and paste info into master file

[gbaker]

I am looking for a way to open multiple files located in a folder on my network, open each of them and copy and paste the information to one master file. I have some code that when the e-mails with the attachments come in the attachments are moved to a folder on the network. Now I would like to have some code to open each one of them up and copy and paste the information to one master file.
Here is what I have so far:

Option Explicit

Public Sub saveAttachtoDisk(itm As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim objAtt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim saveFolder As String
saveFolder = "\\fngn.com\us\Projects\Print Production\Reports\DSG Drop reports"
     For Each objAtt In itm.Attachments
          objAtt.SaveAsFile saveFolder & "\" & objAtt.DisplayName
          Set objAtt = Nothing
     Next
End Sub

Attached is an example fo the files that come in via e-mail
Had to change it to excel to be able to attach it.

I assume the file content will look like

Job No,PackageCode,File Name,Date Dropped,Quantity,Status
462930,AFA-XWK,AFA-XWK_5034985A2-0001-.PS,11/04/2016 15:28,681,Confirmed

Do you want the results in an Excel format file, or a CSV text file (presumably without the headers)? CSV would be infinitely quicker. The code below is very fast acting.

Your quoted macro has some potential issues.
1. It is probably more correct to use the attachment filename rather than the display name, unless you can guarantee that they are the same.
2. Graphics in the message (e.g. in an e-mail signature) are treated as attachments, so it is probably better to restrict the process to CSV format attachments.
3. Is there any possibility of duplicated filenames? If so this will have to be allowed for as your process will simply overwrite existing names.
4. Why not incorporate the extraction process in your macro, rather than process the folder separately? That way there would be no need to worry about storing the extracted files, or duplicated filenames.

The following macro will create and and append to a named CSV file the CSV files from a folder selected from the code:

Hi GMayor,
To start, Thank you so much.
The file content will look like what you sent.
Results can be in CSV format
1) File names are different for each:
Example would be:
RK195799
RK195845
RK195878
One file comes in each night.
2) No Possibility for duplicate file names


3) I set up a rule in outlook to take the files that come in and send them to a folder on the network. I attached a screen shot so you can see it.
4) How would I set it up to incorporate the extraction process into my macro?
Here is where the master file lives.
5) Const strMasterPath As String = "\\fngn.com\us\Projects\Print Production\Reports\DSG Drop reports\Master.csv"
'The full name of the master csv
6) Do you see any issues with the path?

Sorry about that. The BrowseForFolder function does not work in Outlook VBA (I created it in Excel), and you have an extra quote in the strMasterPath definition which is probably responsible for the particular error.

In any case you seem to be using a common folder so it is unnecessary and as you are intending to follow my suggestion and process as the messages arrive, superfluous. I have posted a revised version and added a macro that can be used as a script with a rule that identifies the incoming messages and saves them to strPath. If you are batch processing then save the master in a different folder from the csv folder (as shown). It shouldn't matter if you are processing as they arrive.

The rule with the script ProcessAttachment would replace your original rule. It only has to identify the messages, the script will extract the csv and process it using the ancillary functions.

I have not tested the script as I don't have access to your network locations, but it should be OK.

This seems like it should work. I won't know until tomorrow. The files come in at 7:00 PM. All files have already come in for yesterday. I put the code in This session so it should kick off when I open Outlook tomorrow morning. I'll let you know if it works.
If I want to automatically open another workbook after this runs can I add the following to the bottom of your code:

'The next step separates the package code into two columns, example SCE XE instead of SCEXE which allows for wasy lookup by users.

I know I still have a ways to go but if your code works then I will be close to automating so I don;t have to run macros everyday or teach someone else if I am on vacations. Thank you so much for your help so far.

[gmayor]

The code doesn't go into ThisOutlookSession but an ordinary module (add one and paste it there instead). Because of Outlook security you may have to sign the project for it to work without security prompts (or at all). See http://www.gmayor.com/create_and_emp...gital_cert.htm.

I do not know if your code will work from Outlook (have you tested it) and am reluctant to try and decipher what it is supposed to do, without knowing what that is initially. Debugging other people's code is frustrating and time consuming.

[gbaker]

Hi Gmayor,
Thank you for your help anyway. I moved your code to a regular module, went into the rule and ran it but nothing happened. Maybe if I put the code into excel and try to run it it will work. Back to the drawing board. If it works, I was thinking of putting the excel workbooks in my startup so it will open when I sign in. If the code is in thissession hopefully it will automatically run. The I could set it up to do the additional code (My code) which I know works because I have been running that code every day. I just have to open it up each day and run the macros.
Thanks anyway for your help. It's not easy for me because I am just a beginner. I have a lot more to learn.
I did set up another rule see attached to see if it will work from outlook. Not likely. see attached.

It can't work from a rule if you run the code from Excel. However let's start again as there is a potential issue with the earlier code, which causes the master file not to be created under some circumstances and the error handler scraps the process.

The following has been tested and does work, either from a rule that processes incoming messages, or you can run ProcessCSVFiles on a Windows folder full of files.

I have checked and both processes with create the master file if it doesn't exist and should only add the header from the first attachment when the master is created.

Replace all the original code with the following, in an ordinary module. Change the name of the script that the rule uses to match the change.

When processing from a rule, the macro creates a temporary file from the attachment to process. It doesn't save the attachment.
