Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Use the Dir function:
Code:
Public Sub List_Filenames()

    Dim folder As String, filename As String
    Dim row As Long
       
    folder = "F:\Temp\Excel\"    'CHANGE AS REQUIRED
    If Right(folder, 1) <> "\" Then folder = folder & "\"
       
    row = 1
    filename = Dir(folder & "*", vbNormal)
    While filename <> ""
        ActiveSheet.Cells(row, 1).Value = filename
        row = row + 1
        filename = Dir()  ' Get next matching file
    Wend

End Sub
