In the below video you will see how you can use the macro here to find out what images exist/match the SKU code provided in the Excel file:
Creating an Excel VBA macro to accomplish the tasks you've described would involve several steps. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create such a macro:
Open Excel and press
Alt
+F11
to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.In the VBA editor, right-click on "VBAProject (Your Workbook Name)" in the Project Explorer on the left and select "Insert" -> "Module" to insert a new module.
Copy and paste the following VBA code into the module:
Sub ConceptSauce_ImageMatchHelper() Dim folderPath As String Dim destFolderPath As String Dim ws As Worksheet Dim rng As Range Dim cell As Range Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject Dim filenamesDict As Object Dim baseFilename As String Dim response As VbMsgBoxResult ' Create a dictionary to store collections of file paths, indexed by exact base filenames Set filenamesDict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") ' Prompt user for the folder With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker) .Title = "Select a Folder" .AllowMultiSelect = False If .Show = -1 Then folderPath = .SelectedItems(1) Else Exit Sub End If End With ' Create filesystem object (early binding for performance) Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject ' Recursively add filenames from the main folder and subfolders to the dictionary AddFilesRecursively fso.GetFolder(folderPath), filenamesDict ' Get the active worksheet Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet ' Ask user to select the column to match On Error Resume Next Set rng = Application.InputBox("Select a range", "Select cells with filenames to match", Type:=8) On Error GoTo 0 ' Exit if the range is not valid or has no cells If rng Is Nothing Or rng.Cells.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub ' Color-code cells based on filename matches For Each cell In rng.Cells baseFilename = CStr(Trim(cell.Value)) If filenamesDict.exists(baseFilename) Then cell.Interior.Color = RGB(0, 255, 0) ' Green Else cell.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0) ' Red End If Next cell ' Ask the user if they want to copy the found files response = MsgBox("Do you want to copy the found files to a new folder?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Copy Files") If response = vbYes Then With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker) .Title = "Select a Destination Folder" .AllowMultiSelect = False If .Show = -1 Then destFolderPath = .SelectedItems(1) Else Exit Sub End If End With ' Copy the files that exactly match the cell value For Each cell In rng.Cells baseFilename = CStr(Trim(cell.Value)) If filenamesDict.exists(baseFilename) Then For Each filePath In filenamesDict(baseFilename) fso.CopyFile filePath, destFolderPath & "\" & fso.GetFileName(filePath), True Next filePath End If Next cell End If ' Inform the user that the process is complete MsgBox "Process complete!", vbInformation, "Done" End Sub ' Optimized recursive subroutine to add files from folder and subfolders Sub AddFilesRecursively(folder As Scripting.folder, filenamesDict As Object) Dim fileObj As Scripting.File Dim subfolder As Scripting.folder Dim baseFilename As String ' Add files from the current folder to the dictionary For Each fileObj In folder.Files ' Optional: Add file extension filter here (e.g., only add .jpg files) If InStr(fileObj.Name, ".jpg") > 0 Or InStr(fileObj.Name, ".png") > 0 Then baseFilename = Split(fileObj.Name, ".")(0) If Not filenamesDict.exists(baseFilename) Then Set filenamesDict(baseFilename) = New Collection End If filenamesDict(baseFilename).Add fileObj.Path End If Next fileObj ' Process each subfolder recursively For Each subfolder In folder.Subfolders AddFilesRecursively subfolder, filenamesDict Next subfolder End Sub
Close the VBA editor and return to your Excel workbook.
To run the macro, press
Alt
+F8
to open the "Macro" dialog, select "CheckFileNames," and click "Run."
