How To List All Folders And Subfolders In Excel?

[Vasia]

I found this code and need help. I am trying to do two things.

1. add Number Format to make all columns as text. I have tried but can not make it work. Where would I place it?
Range("A:V").NumberFormat = "@"

2. when the code runs it opens and save it new Worksheet. How can I change the code to add a sheet and use the folder name from "Choose the folder" option?

Thanks

Vasia

Sub FolderNames()
'Update 20141027
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim xPath As String
Dim xWs As Worksheet
Dim fso As Object, j As Long, folder1 As Object
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    .Title = "Choose the folder"
    .Show
End With
On Error Resume Next
xPath = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker).SelectedItems(1) & "\"
Application.Workbooks.Add
Set xWs = Application.ActiveSheet
xWs.Cells(1, 1).Value = xPath
xWs.Cells(2, 1).Resize(1, 5).Value = Array("Path", "Dir", "Name", "Date Created", "Date Last Modified")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder1 = fso.getFolder(xPath)
getSubFolder folder1
xWs.Cells(2, 1).Resize(1, 5).Interior.Color = 65535
xWs.Cells(2, 1).Resize(1, 5).EntireColumn.AutoFit
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Sub getSubFolder(ByRef prntfld As Object)
Dim SubFolder As Object
Dim subfld As Object
Dim xRow As Long
For Each SubFolder In prntfld.SubFolders
    xRow = Range("A1").End(xlDown).Row + 1
    Cells(xRow, 1).Resize(1, 5).Value = Array(SubFolder.Path, Left(SubFolder.Path, InStrRev(SubFolder.Path, "\")), SubFolder.Name, SubFolder.DateCreated, SubFolder.DateLastModified)
Next SubFolder
For Each subfld In prntfld.SubFolders
    getSubFolder subfld
Next subfld
End Sub

Hi Vasia

I ran your code on a folder on my computer, and the screen capture below shows you the result.

In answer to your points:

(1) I don't understand your point about changing the number format so that the columns are text. As you can see from my screen capture, they already are in text format. If I applied the custom fromat "@" to them, they look exactly the same (which is what I would expect).

(2) Your code creates a new workbook (Application.Workbooks.Add). If what you're asking for is code that will add a new worksheet to your current workbook, then I would suggest delete that line of code I just referenced, and change:

Application.Workbooks.Add
Set xWs = Application.ActiveSheet

to

Set xWs = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add

Finally, your code already uses the selected folder name, so with the above change, I'm hoping it works the way you want it to. Let me know if I've misunderstood anything. Thanks.
