How to rename file names from an excel cell
I have a list of .png file names exported to excel that I have modified (added an _ in a specific location in the name) and want to rename the same .png file names in the same folder I pulled from to excel. I have tried creating a batch file from Notepad and saving/executing from the folder but that did not work. Can this be done?
Oh wait - my bad. The values in the worksheet already include .png.
Try this version:
Sub RenameFiles() ' Change the path as needed, but keep the trailing backslash Const sFolder = "C:\MyFiles\" Dim r As Long Dim m As Long Dim v As Variant m = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row v = Range("A1:B" & m).Value On Error GoTo ErrHandler For r = 2 To m Name sFolder & v(r, 1) As sFolder & v(r, 2) Next r Exit Sub ErrHandler: MsgBox "Failed to rename " & v(r, 1), vbInformation Resume Next End Sub
