Hello all,

I am new to VBA coding. I had taken a programming course almost 6 years ago and never touched it since but I would like to start learning slowly to automate a lot of my excel stuff.


I am looking for help to code the following the scenario:

I have 10 folders in a particular location on the drive. Out of the 10, there 7 which are named Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 and Item 7. The remaining three are not to be worried about.

I am hoping to code in VBA such that the code would loop through all the folders and if the folder name matches - Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 and Item 7 - execute code A for folders Item 1, Item 2, Item 3 and then execute code B for Item 4, Item 5, Item 6 and Item 7.

Requesting your kindest help.

Thank you !

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
which bit do you want help with?

you'll find most of what you need via google. i just googled with input copied straight from your question

googling for "VBA such that the code would loop through all the folders" finds, amongst others,
https://exceloffthegrid.com/vba-code...r-sub-folders/
https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-loop-...soft-excel-vba

After that you might google for info on a 'select case' statement. Or even a simple IF statement, just to get started.
