    Hi Randy, Love how you're creating so much VBA content. A suggestion: You might want to indent the code in your subs, especially if you're making tutorials for people online. What are your thoughts?

    • @ExcelForFreelancers

      Hi and thanks so much. Almost all of my code is indented. I do like to keep it organized. If you want to view the code in a color coded and fully-organized method. that is also automated with my PDF codebooks on my Patreon platform each week

      @@ExcelForFreelancers Interesting that you provide codebooks to your patreons :) I'm not really a consumer of this type of content, I maintain VBA libraries mainly on github :) E.G. stdVBA. It was just something I noticed 😁

      Ah no worries at all. I also create an updated training, template and resources on Patreon as well.
      I have a few hundreds videos right here on UA-cam as well.

    When I saw 'FileName = Dir(FolderPath &"*.")' I thought 'FileName' receives JUST first one file and had to be incremented, but NOT! Would you explain this?

    • @ymgexcel9499
      @ymgexcel9499 5 днів тому +3

      When making videos in one go, inaccuracies will happen. 'FileName = Dir(FolderPath & "*.*")' means the first file name is retrieved. Then in the loop, when 'FilelName = Dir' the next file name is retrieved. You can easily prove the latter by using 'Debug.Print "Current: " & FileName' before the line, and 'Debug.Print "Next: " & FileName' after the line.

    • @ExcelForFreelancers
      @ExcelForFreelancers  4 дні тому +2

      @ymgexcel9499 explained it perfectly. It loops through the entire folder looking for all files that match the criteria. With the last line FileName = Dir its cleared and retrieved the next and will continue until FileName is nothing. It works quite beautifully.

    is that possible to list all extension, like filter

    • @ExcelForFreelancers
      @ExcelForFreelancers  4 дні тому

      HI and thanks. yes for sure. You can add the filter such as "*.pdf" and then you can list them on a sheet, incrementing the rows such as
      Sheet1.Range("A" & RowNumb).value = Dir(FileName)
      RowNumb = RowNumb + 1
      So just add that into the loop
      I hope this helps and thanks so much.
