Auto fill based on previous entry

There are currently hundreds of documents that need to be updated, there is a master document that is opened and then saved as a new document. They each have a table on page 2 that can contain an X in one of 636 boxes (60x14 minus the header row and column). Based on the placement of the X, a description goes into a table (22x4 minus the header row and column) starting on page 4. The descriptions are stored in another word document.

I am looking to process each document, find the X's in the designated areas, get the description from the other word document and populate the table area in the existing document.

Any help would be appreciated.

I created a macro with the following code to read through the first table and if there is an X, place data in the second table.

What I do not know how to do is have it run for all the documents that need to be changed/updated.

Code:

Dim strClean As String
Dim oTbl As Table
Dim Row As Integer
Dim Col As Integer
Dim strCellText As String

Set oTbl = ActiveDocument.Tables(3)

 For Row = 1 To oTbl.Rows.Count
        For Col = 1 To oTbl.Columns.Count
            strCellText = oTbl.Cell(Row, Col).Range.Text
            strClean = Mid(strCellText, 1, Len(strCellText) - 2)
            If Trim(strClean) = "X" Then
               With ActiveDocument.Tables(4).Cell(2, 3).Range
               .Text = "nailed it"
               End With
            End If
        Next
    Next

Notwithstanding that your 'master' document should be a template from which new documents are created rather than saved with a new name, you need to run your code with a batch process that opens all the appropriate documents and runs your code. You should also introduce some error handling to at least ensure that there are four tables or more in the documents. The following will work as a custom process with Document Batch Processes which will handle the files and folders.

Code:

Function ProcessTables(oDoc As Document) As Boolean
Dim oTbl As Table
Dim Row As Integer
Dim Col As Integer
Dim oCell As Range
Dim strCellText As String
    On Error GoTo err_Handler

    If oDoc.Tables.Count > 3 Then
        Set oTbl = oDoc.Tables(3)
        For Row = 1 To oTbl.Rows.Count
            For Col = 1 To oTbl.Columns.Count
                Set oCell = oTbl.Cell(Row, Col).Range
                oCell.End = oCell.End - 1
                strCellText = oCell.Text
                Set oCell = oDoc.Tables(4).Cell(2, 3).Range
                oCell.End = oCell.End - 1
                If Trim(strCellText) = "X" Then
                    oCell.Text = "nailed it"
                    Exit For
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next Col
        Next Row
        ProcessTables = True
    End If
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Function
err_Handler:
    ProcessTables = False
    Resume lbl_Exit
End Function

Thats works great...thank you!

Below is the full code I have come up with. I am having an issue when the error trap executes. Once the error is displayed it resumes to get the next file in the folder, but oDoc3 is somehow closed - I get an error indicating "Object has been deleted". This will work fine if I only use on file to update - oDoc2 stays open.

Any ideas as to why that one document reference disappears?

Code:

Sub BatchProcess()

Dim strFile As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim oDoc As Document

Dim strFile2 As String
Dim strPath2 As String
Dim oDoc2 As Document

Dim strFile3 As String
Dim strPath3 As String

        End If
        strPath = fDialog.SelectedItems.Item(1)

            strPath = strPath + "\"

Try declaring DecisionsDoc and ComplaintDoc as global variables (ie at the top of the module before any Subs). It will save you having to pass them between functions and possibly make them more robust as your code progresses.

gmayor · #7 11-25-2019, 06:49 AM

There are several anomalies in your code which makes it difficult to follow exactly what it is that you are trying to achieve and therefore it is difficult to determine why the error is occurring ... especially without access to the documents themselves.

e.g. You have made reference to 'inText2' without actually using inText2 and you appear to have counters 'CompliantCount' and 'DecisionCount' which both appear to be duplicates of the variable 'Row'?

The MainDoc appears to have at least 5 tables (not 4 as previously mentioned) with no error handling to determine that the document is valid.
