VBA Code To Save File With Date As Reference To A Cell
Jun 19, 2014
I'm trying to make a vba that would save the file with the end date that will reference to a certain cell that user selects it. Working Sheet is a name of a File, and Current Sheet is a name of the panel where user will select the date.
I am trying to create a macro to run from a form button, within a report, to save a file to a variable file path and name depending on the date value in cell B5.
The format of B5 looks like - 13/08/2014 16:39
The file path has folders for each year in format "yyyy" with each year having sub folders for each month in format "mm".
The file name is just the date only and is formatted "dd.mm.yy" e.g. 13.08.14
I have tried the code below in various permutations but always end up with an error - Method 'SaveAs' of object '_Workbook' failed.
i have a order form that is customer dependant. the cust name on the form is manually entered by the user within a msg box. i have specific cusotmer folders on a shared machines C drive where i would like to save these excel docs to.
i understand that the cust name must match the name of the file and there needs to be a way to save those that do not have specific folder matching what was entered as the customer name.
the overall goal is to have the file name saved as CustomerNameDeliveryDateInvoiceNumber.xls where CustName is from cell "M3", delivery date is "Q7" and InvoiceNumber is "Q1".
I'm trying to get Mac OS X Excel VBA to understand this code however the ChDir reference and the filepath seem to be causing problems. I would like to specify in the code where the file should be stored but I did try removing the filepath section altogether but to no avail.
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 ChDir _ "C:Documents and Settings USER NAME Desktop" ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:=newFile End Sub
Is it possible to save a file with a date taken from a cell? For example:
I have an Excel file opened, in the cell A1 there is a date: 12.04.2003 (or any other date format). I want an Excel to save this document, but after I check the date of creation (modification) of the file under Windows, I want to receive the result 12.04.2004 (or any other, that was in the cell "A1" before pressing SAVE button).
I imagine, that there would have to be some external script running, that would change the system date for a moment, just after detection of pressing SAVE command.
I'm working on creating a computerised invoicing system for where I work, and right now I'm creating a Day Book file.
I want the name of the file to simply be the date which it was created, in YYYYMMDD format. However, I keep getting the error message and am not sure what has gone wrong.
Please note that in the day book template, cell F1 contains the formula
=TEXT(E1,"yyyymmdd")
which may be useful to know in the later part of the code.
from the code below?
Private Sub DayBook_Click()
Select Case MsgBox("Proceed? (Ensure that a Day Book has not already been created)", vbYesNo Or vbQuestion Or vbDefaultButton1, "Day Book Creation") Case vbYes Dim strName As String
'copy today's date from invoice template Range("H4").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy
1) change to a different sheet 2) select a specific cell range 3) save that range as a text / xml file with a filename derived from a cell outside the given range
I have created a macro in excel 2010 which enable the file to save (extract) data into separate location and name. The vba code for macro is as follows: Question: How can I save this workbook with reference to the value containing in cell B2? (it is named temporary now - as defined in the code)
am using Excel 2010 and having issues trying to save a worksheet to a specified file location with the save date....
I have tried several posts form this forum and elsewhere and can't seem to get the macro to do what I want.....
I want to save a 'worksheet' from an open workbook that I use for updating information to the same file path as the workbook with the date the file saved...
VBA coding for automatically saving an excel file as another file using the current date as part of the file name together with "32ga" as a constant add-in. I also what this macro to run at a particular time of the day let say 00:20hrs. The excel file i want to save as is always open . It has data that changes every 24-hrs.
I have a spreadsheet where I want to require certain fields to be completed then I want to have that file auto emailed. I have learned that I do need to have the file saved before sending otherwise the data will not appear in the email, so with this I want to have the file temporarily saved emailed then the temp file deleted.
Here is the code I have so far but it errors on the blue text, I did change the TempFileName from = "Copy of " & wb1.Name & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss") to = [C16] & "_" & [B6] & "_" & [D6]
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() If Range("B6").Value = "" Or _ Range("d6").Value = "" Or _ Range("f6").Value = "" Or _ Range("E9").Value = "" Or _
My company has files that are already in use. I don't know too many details about how they work, but somehow saving the file will screw it up and my boss has to go back and reset something or other to correct it. Obviously it's connected to some other software somewhere. The code below will block Save and Save-As. BUT how do I get the file to hold onto the code without actually saving the file after the code is added (since the file shouldn't be saved)?
VB: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) If SaveAsUI = False Then Cancel = True
I want o write a vba code for below: I want to download and saves a list of webpages (and contents like images, animated GIFs, sounds, videos,...) as MHT Files (1 MHT file for each link from the list). In the below files there's an example of how it should look like.
Links
[URL]
I am familiar with the URLDownloadToFile function, but it doesn't download the webpage's contents. What I need is something like a URLDownloadToMHT function that downloads the entire webpage and its contents and packs it into a MHT file. The MHT file, obviously, needs to link the content files locally for offline browsing (I don't know exactly how a MHT file works, but what I mean is that src="http://www...file.jpg" should be replaced by src="file.jpg", something like that)
I am also familiar with softwares like WinHTTrack, that do something similar(with HTML files), but I think the downloaded files get too messy and disorganized, that's why I need something simple like MHT files saved in a folder of my choice. I need this Excel file to work in any Windows XP/Windows 7 computer, without dependencies from other files like third-party dll's or any other files.
I have some code that copies a worksheet and saves into a new workbook and saves into a specified folder and renames the new workbook.
It is all working fine however it is saving to my desktop and not the specified directory. I know there is a lot similar out there and i have exhausted my google skills trying to find the similar format to the one i am after.
Code:
Sub MonthlyReset() Dim sourceSheet As String Dim clearR As Range Dim newFile As String
In the code that i have, vb is making me a excel file and saves it with the title i putted.
I want him to save my files like this: example dd:mm:yyyy
Here is the Sub Export() Workbooks.Add ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "D:Sablon citiriCalea 13 Septembrie_Sablon citiri.xls", FileFormat:= _ xlExcel8, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _ , CreateBackup:=False Call MsgBox("Va rog sa asteptati pana se creeaza registrul de lucru.
Some of the words are in romanian.
The bold text ,if is possible, it should be like this: D:Sablon citiriCalea 13 Septembrie_dd:mm:yyyy.xls (the date when i do the saving).
I'm trying to write a VBA code to save a file with the word "northeast" and then today's date. So today the file would be saved as "Northeast - April 16, 2009". I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone have any ideas?
I want to schedule a print, for lets say every Sunday at midnight. I have managed to find some what of a solution by using the following vbscript and scheduling a print to default printer. Works perfectly if that is all I wanted.
Dim objExcel, objWorkbook, strFile ' Connect to Excel Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") strFile = "C: est.xls" ' Open the Excel File for Printing Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open _ (strFile) ' Print to Default Printer Set objSheet = objExcel. ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(1) objSheet.PrintOut objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close objExcel.Application.Quit
I do not want to print to an actual printer, therefore if I set my default printer as the document writer, the vbscript gets it as far as the "Save As" page. Is there a way I can add to this vbscript so it will save as well? Can I get it to save as "name"&[DATE], thereby having it save as a different name each time? Can I change this vbscript to print to a named printer rather then a default printer? I am sure a PDF convertor may be of some assistance with this, but I do not have an PDF converter on my computer, and as this will be carried out on a computer that I will not have administration rights, I can not download one.
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?
We have an excel file which is made every thursday for comparison purposes etc. I've made an macro (excel 2003) which - on start - asks via an inputbox for the extension in date format for saving purposes. Later on, the macro will search for the same file but from last week to open it and copy/paste a 'comments' column into this new one. All went well, everybody happy. However it may be well possible that file is made and saved but with an extra extension: example:
dir to save = C:file
file when starts runs inputbox "Please enter a date (e.g. 2008-06-20)" The macro records this string as mydate:
Sub Start() Dim AnyString Dim MyStr Dim DirString Dim mynum 'As String Dim resp As Long Dim get_mynum Dim mydate
'Define extension for the file name to be saved and the correct path (dir) where this file will be stored. get_mynum: mynum = Application.InputBox("Enter the filename's extension to save in yyyy-mm-dd (e.g. 2008-06-30)", vbOKCancel) If mynum = False Then msgbox ("You do not want to continue? Ok, programm stopped") Exit Sub ElseIf mynum = "" Then..............
I have a report which I have written a macro to reformat, I then want to copy the sheet (Remake) containing the report into a new workbook as the only sheet in the new workbook. I want the sheet name to be changed from "Remake" to "Duty to Consider" and I want the new workbook to save itself automatically as "Duty to Consider - Month/Year" - in this case it would be "Duty to Consider - August 2008".
I think that a Pop Up box which lets me input the Month and Year of the report I am working on would be useful in naming the new workbook, if this box popped up when I click the button which runs my Macro that'd be great. Here is the code I am using to reformat my report. This works fine I just need the changes I mentioned. Application. ScreenUpdating = False 'this will turn on screen updating, making the macro run faster
'This will select the DTC Tab and remove rows 1-4 Sheets("DTC").Select Rows("1:4").Select Range("A4").Activate Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp

'This will copy the data on the DTC tab and copy it into the Remake Tab Cells.Select.....................
I have a Workbook that already has a macro in it that will generate multiple sheets based on certain criteria.
For each of these newly generated sheets (numbered 1-6 in the attached example), I need to be able save each of them to a PDF file based on a unique name contained in a certain cell (in this case, each named is referenced in cell Q1 of each sheet). As such, I should end up with 6 pdfs based on the attached sample files.
The PDFs would ideally need to be landscaped and should be just 1 page per sheet.
In my attached sample workbook, you'll notice that I have a "PracticePrint" macro that doesn't quite get the job done. One other criteria involves not printing any sheet with the characters "1010" in it (my PracticePrint macro is setup to do that, but it fails to do much else).
