Many a times we need a tool, which should recursively put file names and file sizes within a folder.
I mean to say that, if you pass name of a folder and say in that folder, it has

11 files
-
2 folders
Then it should again go into the 2 folders and if it finds a folder again say in any of the folder, it should go within that folder too and should create result, with name and size of all the files & folders.
Workout Example 14 – Combine all the files inside a folder through VBA
Tasks
1. Combine Multiple files – having same layout (same number of fields and fields are always in the same column) but not neessarily same number of rows
2. Also put file name as first column in the final data set
Assumption:
-
All the data files are in the same folder
-
There is nothing other than data files in that folder
-
Usually data files should have a way to know, which file was referred
-
All the data files are excel files only

Workout Exp 13 - Recursive file size of all the files n folders within a folder
Many a times we need a tool, which should recursively put file names and file sizes within a folder.
I mean to say that, if you pass name of a folder and say in that folder, it has
11 files
2 folders
Then it should again go into the 2 folders and if it finds a folder again say in any of the folder, it should go within that folder too and should create result, with name and size of all the files & folders.
Additionally, we will like to know, the path of each of the files.
All those things are achieved here through this tool.
This tool in some sense is even better than even recursive dir command of command prompt. Dir command doesn’t product the size of directory.
