Save As Macro With Location Prompt But Fixed File Name ?

Dec 29, 2008

For a sheet that many non-expert users will use on different systems I need a macro that let's them save, print and send the results of their work. So I made a macro that makes a copy of only 1 sheet of the workbook and saves it with a given name to a given location. The problem is that I want a location prompt to ask the user where they want the file saved, while giving/suggesting them a fixed filename. A lot of different users will make and use their sheets so I need a certain naming policy to manage all the files. (date, location, etc)

Recording Macro To Save Workbook Using Filename In Cell?

Aug 5, 2013

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.

Macro To Save Worksheets As Workbooks- Name And Location To Change Each Month

May 30, 2008

I have a workbook with approximately 30 worksheets. This workbook already has a massive macro that I've written. I'd like to write a code that will take a designated worksheet, check to see if there is data in cell A2, if so, save it as a new workbook.

The name of the workbook should be predetermined, for example "SIA April(Previous Month) 2008(Current Year) P-Card Import Template.xls"
The months and years will need to change.

The file to save it in will also change monthly- for example- G:PCard DirectoryCloses2008 ClosesApril(previous month) 2008(current year)

Excel 2010 :: Macro To Save Multiple Sheets To Multiple PDF With Cell Value As Filename

May 6, 2014

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.

Save Worksheet As "Filename Mmddyyyy" In MACRO

Mar 31, 2009

I'd like to add a "save as" function into an existing macro that would automatically save my worksheet in a network folder using a filename and today's date (no slashes). I have read several other posts with a similar Q, but mostly what I am finding is answers with a very "situation specific" copy/paste-able macro.

So here is my situation:

Filename: FILENAME MMDDYYYY
Folder Location - Let's call it: \companyFile2009

Prompt Where To Save

Jan 10, 2007

Currently I have information that includes numerous distributors information on one sheet. The code below separates each distributors information into a new tab and a new workbook, names the workbook and saves it in the specified file path.

Prompt For Save When No Changes Made

Dec 10, 2004

I have an excel spreadsheet that when opened and closed prompts to save changes, even when no changes have been made.

The spreadsheet is a copy of another spreadsheet which has then been modified. The original spreadsheet doesn't have this quirk.

There are no 'links' in the spreadsheets. Which was my first thought.

VBA To Save As In Specific Path With Prompt

Oct 6, 2011

I'd like a macro that will:

Save my workbook
Then
Open the SaveAs box with the path already pointing to a specific directory and with the Name and file format already entered (.xls)

This is basically to save time navigating through our folder structure (which is a real mess). I don't want to automatically saveas the file as the target folder will change each month and the last part of the file name will chance (month). So I'd like a bit of flexibility rather than total automation.

VBA - Go To Website And Download File From Save Prompt

May 24, 2013

How to save a file onto the computer using VBA. The code template below that I found on another forum seems promising, except when I go to the desktop to access it, the .csv file has what looks like the page's source code instead of the actual file I want. This may be because when I go to the url, it doesn't automatically download the file; rather, I am asked to save the file to a certain location (since I don't know the path name of the uploaded file on the site).

Is there any way to alter this code to accommodate this, or will I have to use a different code entirely?

VB:
Sub Test()
Dim FileNum As Long
Dim FileData() As Byte
Dim MyFile As String
Dim WHTTP As Object

[Code] .....
