Create Directory From Cell & Save Workbook With Cell Value
Dec 3, 2006
what code can be used to be place in a Command Button on a worksheet that will use the value in a cell, change it to the directory where it have to be saved and save it to the value of another cell. Example:
On a worksheet called "Customer", at cel A1 will be the customer's name and at cell A2 will be the asset number. Now let's say a directory does not yet exist on the root for this customer, a new directory must be created in the root directory by using the name in A1, and the workbook must then be copied and saved under the value of A2.

Read “My Documents” Path And Use Result
Problem:
Note:
Typical user OS will be Windows XP Pro / Win 2K
Excel version : 97 / 2002 / 2003
1. Corporate network security settings will only allow directory/subdirectory creation in the “My Documents” section of customers individual computers.
2. Per customer request, VBA application needs to save extracted files for future use.
3. I can specify an initial “My Documents” subdirectory be made and the VBA application file be loaded/copied into that location – i.e. – “My DocumentsCat”.
4. When VBA application is opened from that specified directory, (first time), the application needs to make an additional subdirectory tree to save future files. I can read the opened from location via VBA with the following:
Dim filepath As String
filepath = ThisWorkbook.Path
As an example – this code would produce a string definition of “filepath” – such as the following:............................

how, via VBA, to save a worksheet ("ForExport") from my workbook into a new file (type CSV). To provide additional difficulty (not by my choice), the users will all have their own directories on the network to save their files into. These directories will NOT be mapped drives (e.g., "C:") but rather will be UNC paths (\parentusername)
So, obviously the filename and location are both rather dynamic, depending who is using the excel template.
The workbook has three sheets:Base Form (sheet 1)ValidationResources (sheet 2, provides data for menus/validation)ForExport (sheet 3, contains data written to it from the Base Form)
The workbook has fields to capture UserName, FileName (without an extension), and FilePath.UserName = captured by VBA code from the users login informationFileName = concatenated field based on some other fieldsFilePath = concatenated field of a set parent path (\parent) plus the UserName (so, \parentusername)What I want to do is have a macro that takes the ForExport sheet, saves it as a CSV file (with the file name from the field holding that info) into the directory I've specified in the FilePath field.
Is what I'm trying to do even possible? I have a sample workbook I can provide if you need something to work with. Not sure if I can attach it here.

I have managed to get my workbook to save with a filename based on two textboxes. I am not sure, however, how to define the directory. I have tried adding a ("mydirectory") on the saveas line but it does not work.
This is my
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Dim strText As String
strText = txtLMSRef.Text & "," & txtPartial.Text
wb.SaveAs Filename:=strText
wb.Close
Set wb = Nothing
End
End Sub

Using Dropbox, a lot of people will fill in formulas in personal workbooks from using data from another, central workbook. Since I cannot control where they install Dropbox or where they keep their personal workbooks, I must account for that in functions.
Now, my idea is to make them define the directory of the source in their personal workbook in a specific cell and then using that as a basis for the rest of the functions.
Example
Cell A1: C:Usersuser1Dropboxfolder (copy paste from path in Windows Explorer)
Cell B1: A1&[CentralWorkbook.xlsx]SheetName'!$H$1
Basically I want the unknowing user to copy-paste the path of the central workbook into a specific cell in their own workbook and then build my functions bsed on that. How can this be done?

I want to use the following kill command to delete all files in a folder:
Kill "C:dsmanagerest*.*"
However, I want the directory to be specified not within the code, but within a cell on a worksheet. Ie. Cell A1 would contain the directory C:dsmanager est*.*"

I am continuing to struggle with my first attempt at a macro, and wonder if someone would mind taking a look to see where I have gone wrong? All I am trying to do is create file copying tool where the user can define the source and destination directory in workbook cells, and assign the macro to a button to complete the copy of all files from source to destination.
The macros do this:
Source and Location directory defined in Sub Archive1.
These are passed to file copy macro Sub ArchiveScript.
This macro checks for presence of destination directory, ensures that the directory backslash is in place, specfies the variables fn and fn2 to make sure the filecopy command copies all files in the directory, and then carries out the filecopy function itself.
However, I am getting two errors from the code that I can't figure out (I am still very much a beginner!)
- Invalid procedure call or element on fn = dir() at the bottom
- The copy still works, but only seems to copy one file from the source to the destination, and not all of them.

I would like to create a routine that automates the save process, specifically I would like for the user to click file/save, and then have the save name match the value in a "job number" cell. So if the user runs the save routine, it will automatically save as cellsvalue.xls. Is this possible? and if so, would it be possible to check the value of the cell and if the cell is blank return a message forcing the user to enter a value in the "job number" cell before they could save?

I have two workbooks open. I need to "Save As" and close workbook 2 with a file name from a cell in Workbook 1. The macro is running from workbook 1.
I'm guessing a change in the last line. I don't know what Dim means either.
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
FPath = "G:"
FName = Sheets("sheet 1").Range("A1").Text
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "" & FName

Have read a few codes that allow you to automatically save a workbook using the value of a cell as the name of the file.
BUT, I can not find the code to save it if the cell is a date.
The 17/01/2009 wont save due to the forward slash.
Is there anyway within code that I can save the workbook by first removing the slashes?

I have a cell which uses part of the name of the workbook. This name is updated everytime I activate the sheet with this code (in the worksheet code section):
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Range("Workbook_Name").Value = ""
If Mid( ActiveWorkbook.Name, 34, 1) > "" Then
Range("Workbook_Name").Value = Mid(ActiveWorkbook.Name, 23, 12)
End If
End Sub
Workbook_Name is a named range for the cell in which I want the truncated portion of the file name to appear.
Is there anyway to trigger an update using vba with the SaveAs event?

I have a workbook which contains a list of data on the first worksheet. I need for a macro to copy the name in each row,along with its data in that row and paste it into the corresponding locations on a template located on another worksheet. It would then save the file using the date (col. a) , then the words " Scorecard for" and then the name (col. b), then loop for each row until it reaches the end of the list.
I located this code here here.However I dont know how to modify it to fit my needs. I dont have 2 separate categories for two score cards in column b. It would all run off one scorecard and each row of data.

When saving a file that has 5 sheets that extend to the right of the users screen, sometimes the left part of the report is left somewhat hidden because the last person to save it was using the part to the far right. Is there a way to move all the active cell to A1 and make sure rows A:D or so are showing?

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.

Option Explicit
Sub SvMe()
'Saves filename as value of A1 plus the current date
Dim newFile As String, fName As String
' Don't use "/" in date, invalid syntax
fName = Range("A1").Value
'Change the date format to whatever you'd like, but make sure it's in quotes
newFile = fName & " " & Format$(Date, "mm-dd-yyyy")
' Change directory to suit your PC, including USER NAME

"C:Documents and Settings USER NAME Desktop"
