Great tip, love it, really useful. Previously, I've done that sort of renaming using Excel to create the command, but I've always then created a .BAT file. This is much quicker and easier! (And I didn't know you could type "CMD" in the Explorer address bar!). Nice one, thank you.

I needed this 5 years ago! where were you? We had to check a list in excel vs a folder to check if either was complete and change the names of the old files to the new format. about 6000 files. i feel so... so... i dont wanna talk about it. (like and add to playlist "excel to never forget")

Hi Sumit, can you make a video about pasting filtered value in different cell, I mean value in the filter not entire column.

@scottlockhart7168 17 күн бұрын

Great video. What would the command be if you would like to search for two types of files types at once? For example: *.pdf and *.txt

Would also show us how to use the Command Prompt to rename folders and also subfolders as well?

@trumpexcel 4 ай бұрын

You can rename the subfolders the same way you would rename a file. But for files within sub folders, you'll have to get into with each subfolder and then run the command

what if we use power automate instead?

@trumpexcel 4 ай бұрын

That would work too.. this is more of a quick and dirty trick if you want to do it one time. With Power Automate, you can make it a repeatable process.
