In VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), msoFileDialogFilePicker is a constant that represents one of the file dialog types available in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. Specifically, it represents a file picker dialog box that allows users to select one or more files from their computer's file system.
Example
Sub File_Select()
Dim file As String
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
' Allow the user to select multiple files if set to True
FileDialog.AllowMultiSelect = False 'True
If .Show <> 0 Then
file = .SelectedItems(1)
End If
'File Path for selected file will be set to A1
Sheet1.Range("A1").Value = file
End With
End Sub
If you intend to allow the user to select multiple files you can use somehting like this.
Example
Sub File_Select_Multi()
Dim FileDialog As FileDialog
Dim SelectedFile As Variant
' Create a FileDialog object
Set FileDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
' Allow the user to select multiple files
FileDialog.AllowMultiSelect = True
' Show the dialog box and store the selected file(s) in the SelectedFile variable
If FileDialog.Show = -1 Then
For Each SelectedFile In FileDialog.SelectedItems
' Do something with each selected file
MsgBox "Selected File: " & SelectedFile
Next SelectedFile
Else
MsgBox "No file selected."
End If
' Release the FileDialog object
Set FileDialog = Nothing
End Sub
Selecting a folder instead of a file
Example
Sub Folder_Select()
Dim file As String
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
If .Show <> 0 Then
file = .SelectedItems(1)
End If
'File Path for selected folder will be set to A1
Sheet1.Range("A1").Value = file
End With
End Sub
