I am new in VBA, so I have a list of document (with extension .pdf, .docx, etc) in excel column. What I would like to do is to copy all document in the list, from source folder to destination folder.
I already tried some code, it works but the code copy all the files in the folder instead of the file in list (The document list is only in B3:B10).
Any help really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sub copyfile()
Dim r As Range
Dim Jajal As Range
Dim sourcePath As String, DestPath As String, FName As String
sourcePath = "C:\Users\"
DestPath = "H:\Users\"
For Each r In Range(Sheet6.Range("B3"), Sheet6.Range("B10")) 'the list document is in the sheet6 B3:B10
FName = Dir(sourcePath & r)
'Loop while files found
Do While FName <> ""
'Copy the file
FileCopy sourcePath & FName, DestPath & FName
'Search the next file
FName = Dir()
Loop
Next
End Sub
The Code
Option Explicit
' This will copy files found in a source path AND whose names
' are contained in a list (range), to a destination path,
' overwriting possible existing files.
Sub copyFiles()
Const SourcePath As String = "C:\Users\"
Const DestPath As String = "H:\Users\"
Const ListAddress As String = "B3:B10"
' Write file list to array.
Dim FileList As Variant: FileList = Sheet1.Range(ListAddress).Value
' 'Get' first file name.
Dim FName As String: FName = Dir(SourcePath)
' 'Initiate' counter.
Dim i As Long
' Loop files in SourcePath.
Do While FName <> ""
' Check if file name of current file is contained in array (FileList).
If Not IsError(Application.Match(FName, FileList, 0)) Then
' Count file.
i = i + 1
' Copy file.
FileCopy SourcePath & FName, DestPath & FName
End If
' 'Get' next file name.
FName = Dir()
Loop
' Inform user.
Select Case i
Case 0: MsgBox "No files found", vbExclamation, "No Files"
Case 1: MsgBox "Copied 1 file.", vbInformation, "Success"
Case Else: MsgBox "Copied " & i & " files.", vbInformation, "Success"
End Select
End Sub
