Auto Generate Save As Filename From Multiple Cell Data?
Sep 14, 2012
way for my engineers to save a field ticket with a certain name based on data from a couple of cells in the worksheet. Re: Auto generate "Save As" filename from text and tried to use some code posted in the thread, but I an still not having any luck.
What I want to do is create an active X button when clicked on, would save the workbook to a certain folder. I want the name to look like this:
SO1!M3_SO1!M6_SO1!H2.xls
This is what I have so far:
Private Sub SaveMe()
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:usersdefaultdesktop" & Range("SO1!M3").Value & Format(Range("SO1!M3").Value, "text") & ".xls"
End Sub
Would I click "general" or "workbook" in VBA when I enter this code?

I would like a macro to be able to save 26 tabs within the one document to individual PDFs.Preferably I would like to be able to specify each time exactly which tabs get printed, because often I don't need to print all 26, just the first 10 or so.I would like each PDF to automatically be named with the value in cell E10 of each tab.E10 already has a formula to create its final value. It references cells from other tabs within the same document. Hopefully the fact that this cell has a formula in it won't affect my ability to use the resulting value as a 'save as' reference?I would like it if the PDFs save to the same location as the Excel sheet from which they're generated is located. The location of the excel sheet will change every three months, so I'd prefer not to specify a location with a specific filepath, as it will have changed by the time I run the macro again.
I am using Excel 2010.

I'm trying to record a macro that calls up the saveas dialogue and uses a filename from a cell (it's the w/c date). I can start recording the macro, open the dialogue box and copy the contents of the cell but i can't get it to paste as the filname.
What I'm trying to achieve is to allow users of a muli-sheet workbook to be able to click on a 'save' button on any sheet and have the workbook save with a filename which includes the current week commencing date. This way all the weeks changes will be in just one file and from the following monday a new file will be started the the old one left alone as an archive.

I have a file that I want to name based on content in certain cells. I.e. "Q-(text from cell G1)-(text from cell B7)-Date(mm_dd_yy)". I want to be able to specify the location where I save this file each time I try to save it, but I want it to update the file's name if any of the parameters have changed.
I have some code generated that does just about everything right except that it automatically saves a version of the file in the folder where the original is located even though it also brings up the dialog box and allows me to save it in another location.
Basically, I want to fix the code below so that it doesn't save what appears to be a backup file each time. Should I be using some sort of savecopyas?
Code:
Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
'Add the quote # to the header
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = "Quote No. " & Range("G1").Value
[Code].....

I need to enter a revision string into a file.
Basically, I need to combine the filename and its generation time and then encode it into a string (i.e. a 6 digits HEX code or 6 digits using [0-9][a-z][A-Z]) so it would generate a pretty much unique revision number.
So, is there any function that you can think of that would do something similar?
If not, what is the best to tackle this?
Generate a CRC or md5sum?
What would be in your opinion a quick and efficient way to solve this tricky one?

I have been given the following code and it works great. I now need to adapt it to the following scenario: In the attached sheet, the user has to select either, "Suburban" or "Squad" in row 5. If the user selects, "Suburban" I need this script to compare the values they enter in a given row to the value in column "B".
If the user selects, "Squad" I need this script to compare the values they enter in a given row to the value in column "C".
Look at row 48, for example. If the user enters, "Suburban" in cell D5 then the value they enter in cell D48 should equal "1". If it does not equal "1" then it should proceed with the adding of a comment. Conversely, if the user enters, "Squad" in cell D5 then the value the enter in cell D48 should equal "2". If it does not equal "2" then it should proceed with the adding of a comment.

I am attempting to create a macro to generate emails based on data in a sheet. The goal is to run the Macro, and have it generate emails to send to contractors letting them know what they are going to be paid. For instance:
Name in Column J
Email in Column L
Memo in Column N
Balance in Column T
Due Date in Column P
Week Ending Date in Column H
Now what I would like to happen, is to tie a macro into a button that will create the email as follows:
To Field: Email address from Column L
Subject: "Company Payment Remittance Payment Date *Date from Column P*"
Body: Hello *Name from Column J*,
For *WE Date in Column H* you will be paid *Balance from Column T* for the time worked of *Memo in Column N*
Now the tricky part is that I want the email to contain all line items for each email address. So instead of sending one email per line, have the macro automatically put all of the information that needs to be sent to one email address into the message. I don't know if that is possible, but it sure would make my life easier if it was.
I have attached a sample workbook of the data that will be used
Example Workbook for Email Macro.xlsx

The following code has been tested on Excel 2003 and Acrobat 8.0 Pro:
' This line of code specifies your directory as well as the cell or range which you want the filename to come from. As you can see, I have a specific cell with the range name "InvNbr" so that the macro knows to pull the filename from there. If you don't want to use a range name, just replace InvNbr with your cell reference, such as C4.
Filename = "C:Folder1SubFolder1" & ActiveSheet.Range("InvNbr").Value & ".pdf"
' This line of code sends the filename characters and the ENTER key to the active application. The "False" statement allows the macro to continue running without waiting for the keys to be processed.
SendKeys Filename & "{ENTER}", False
' This line of code calls the Adobe PDF printer and runs the conversion. To ensure that you replace this code correctly with your own PDF printer, simply record a macro to print to Adobe PDF and then copy and paste it here....

I am trying to find a way to write a Macro that will auto color multiple cells based on what data is displayed in one cell. The cell I want to reference is a vlookup cell.
Basically this is a part label. And depending what part is selected from the list my vlookup will display its position on a vehicle(i.e.. FR, FL, RR, RL, Etc..). So if vlookup comes back with FR I want the various cells on the label to be orange, etc..
ALSO: if there is a way to embed it so it does this automatically (rather than run the macro each time).

I have three cells checked to make sure data is in them and then the code is meant to save the file with some of the data from those three cells. The checks work but now the save part doesn't! If I comment out two of the checks the save does work.

I want to create a macro that when executed changes the name of "File1" to "File1 - Edited 8-9-2012". With the date being today's date (variable). This file is going to be emailed to someone who will then execute this macro.
Is there a way to prompt the Save As window with the updated file name so the user can save the file where ever he/she wants?

Is there a way to save a file and have it automatically put today's date in the file name?
Example: original File name = test.xls
desired file name = test072807.xls, or test.072807.xls, or test.07 28 07.xls
So, I open the file, do whatever, and then click save.
When I click save, it does one of the above, given that today is 7 28 07.

I am using Excel to generate a CSV file to load into a industrial cutting machine. The CSV file is used to import the cut list. As such formatting and the data per cell in Excel is important.
What I am presently trying to do is input the dimensions and type of the overall part and have the individual pieces be generated in a second sheet. I can presently do something of the sort using extensive 'if' statements. The problem with this is that I can only generate one line for every line I enter.
So this leads to what my problem is. I want to be able to have the info on 'Row one' 'sheet one' generate its parts list (which maybe 1-3 rows) and post that to sheet 2. Then 'row two' 'sheet one' generate it's info, but place it into the next unused row on sheet two. One of the issues I am having is that each row on sheet one may need to generate between 1-4 lines, maybe more, and I don't know how to not overwrite or have gaps on sheet 2.
Am I looking at going into macros or learning VBA?

I'd like to generate a total sum based on the quantity from each item. So columns H3 - N3 should generate a total in P3 (skipped O) by the quantity entered in each cell. In addition I'd like the value of D3 to change the pricing in the formula. D3 has a drop down with 3 products, so selecting ANY of those products should cancel out the previous formula and replace it with another.
This is the sum without a value in D3
=SUM(H3*10.00)+(I3*8.00)+(J3*6.00)+(K3*18.00)+(L3*10.00)+(M3*8.00)+(N3*8.00)
IF D3 has a package selected from the drop down, I'd like this sum to generate instead.
=SUM(H3*8.00)+(I3*6.00)+(J3*4.00)+(K3*15.00)+(L3*8.00)+(M3*6.00)+(N3*6.00)
[code]....

I don't want to create a function to use within a cell, I need the Sub to run through a user form. I have a Userform to create a new account, and need to add a 6 digit unique identifier after a predetermined prefix ("T" for toddler, "Y" for youth, and "A" for adult). The constraints are that it cannot be duplicated (this is for multiple children registered within the company). I have tried using the GUID but having difficulty stripping characters and adding the prefix (this was my fix inclination).
