When I run this code I get an error message
"compile error: named argument not found".
Sub SavetoCurrentMonth()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
' Check for month folder and create if needed
If Len(Dir("C:\Users\OsmonBek\Documents\macros test\" & Format(Month(Date), "P00-") & Format(Date, "mmmm"), vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir "C:\Users\OsmonBek\Documents\macros test\" & Format(Month(Date), "P00-") & Format(Date, "mmmm")
End If
' Save File
ActiveWorkbook.ExportAsFixedFormat Filename:= _
"C:\Users\OsmonBek\Documents\macros test\" & MonthName(Month(Date), False) & "\" & Format(Date, "mm.dd.yy") & ".xlsx" _
, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
' Popup Message
MsgBox "File Saved As:" & vbNewLine & "C:\Users\OsmonBek\Documents\macros test\" & MonthName(Month(Date), False) & "\" & Format(Date, "mm.dd.yy") & ".xlsx"
End Sub
The error was telling you that ExportAsFixedFormat doesn't have a parameter called FileFormat.
I'd use something like this function to return the name of the folder for the current month (creating the folder if it doesn't already exist) like c:\P2022_04\.
Function getMonthFolderPath() As String
'creates/returns folder name for current month, like: c:\P2022_04\
Const basePath = "c:\", prefix = "P"
Dim path As String
path = basePath & prefix & Format(Date, "yyyy_mm")
If Dir(path, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir path
getMonthFolderPath = path & "\"
End Function
I added the year since (I assume) you don't all April's in the same folder.
Here's a variation that will (if needed) create a year folder with a month subfolder, and return that path:
Function getMonthFolderPath() As String
Dim path As String
path = "c:\"
path = path & Year(Date)
If Dir(path, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir path
path = path & "\" & Format(Date, "mm")
If Dir(path, vbDirectory) = "" Then MkDir path
getMonthFolderPath = path & "\"
End Function
Either variation could be used to save the current file, like this:
Sub saveDemo()
'save this workbook like: C:\2022\04\2022-04-08.xlsm
Dim fName As String
fName = getMonthFolderPath & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".xlsm"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False 'ignore overwrite warning
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs fName, xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

I create a new file every day that is named based on the previous business day
It looks like "mmddyyyy ENCORE and Floor". It's a csv file and I need to convert it to xlsm
This code successfully saves my file with the correct name and file type but I need it to save to a different place on my computer with folders based on months:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\Sarajevo2022\Downloads\" & _
Format(Evaluate("Workday(today(),-2)"), "mmddyyyy") & _
" ENCORE and Floor", FileFormat:=52
The correct file path looks like this:
C:\Users\Sarajevo2022\Company Name\Coworker - OCC ENCORE\2022\Dec 2022
Any direction?
Save As Macro-Enabled Workbook
Sub SaveAsMacroEnabled()
' Build the folder path.
Dim FolderLeft As String: FolderLeft = "C:\Users\Sarajevo2022"
' or:
'Dim FolderLeft As String: FolderLeft = Environ("USERPROFILE")
Dim FolderMid As String: FolderMid = "\Company Name\Coworker - OCC ENCORE\"
Dim SaveDate As Date: SaveDate = Application.WorkDay(Date, -2)
Dim FolderRight As String: FolderRight = Format(SaveDate, "yyyy") _
& "\" & UCase(Format(SaveDate, "mmm yyyy")) & "\"
Dim FolderPath As String: FolderPath = FolderLeft & FolderMid & FolderRight
' Check if the folder path exists.
Dim PathExists As Boolean
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
PathExists = .FolderExists(FolderPath)
End With
If Not PathExists Then
MsgBox "The path '" & FolderPath & "' doesn't exist!" _
& vbLf & vbLf & "File not saved!", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
' Build the file path.
Dim FilePath As String: FilePath = FolderPath _
& Format(SaveDate, "mmddyyyy") & " ENCORE and Floor" & ".xlsm"
' Return the paths in the Immediate window (Ctrl+G).
Debug.Print FolderPath & vbLf & FilePath
' After you have confirmed that the paths are correct,
' out-comment the previous and uncomment the next line.
'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FilePath, xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled ' or 52
End Sub
This code creates a folder, but it does not save the file in it.
It shows an alert message
file name or path doesn't exist
startPath = "C:\Users\OsmonBek\Documents\macros"
myName1 = ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Text
Dim folderPathWithName As String
folderPathWithName = startPath & "\" & myName1
If Dir(folderPathWithName, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then
MkDir folderPathWithName
Else
End If
' Save File
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"folderPathWithName & \legend F22 A&P report " & Format(Now(), "DD-MMM-YYYY") & ".xlsx" _
, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
You have your quote characters wrong. Probably you mean folderPathWithName & "\legend F22 A&P report " so you get the content of the path variable into the filename.
Write the filename into an intermediate variable, that helps finding such errors:
' Save File
Dim newFileName As String
newFileName = folderPathWithName & "\legend F22 A&P report " & Format(Now(), "DD-MMM-YYYY") & ".xlsx"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= newFileName _
, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
I have a macro in excel that if a drive exists the macro saves the file to my harddrive and thumbdrive. If it doesn't exist, it saves to the harddrive. When the macro runs I am getting an error. Here is the macro:
Sub SaveFile()
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim filepath As String
name = "Siemens"
filepath = "F:\Dave backup\Open Orders\Label Manifests\Active Labels Manifest\Manifest Related\File saving testing folder\" & name & "\" & name & " Manifest " & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yyyy")
If fso.DriveExists("F:\") = True Then
'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:="C:\Users\dgray\Documents\" & name & " Manifest " & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yyyy")
'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:="F:\Dave backup\Open Orders\" & name & "\" & name & " Manifest " & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yyyy")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:=filepath
Else
'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:="C:\Users\dgray\Documents\" & name & " Manifest " & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yyyy")
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs filename:="F:\Dave backup\Open Orders\Label Manifests\Active Labels Manifest\Manifest Related\File saving testing folder\" & name & "\" & name & " Manifest " & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yyyy")
End If
End Sub
Here is the error I am getting:
I don't know if you can see but the last part of the error message says "\Siemens\8E555720. That should also say the customer name (i.e. Siemens). In the code I have set the customer name in the variable "name". So why is it giving me this crazy error? All help is appreciated.
Something like this might be better:
Sub SaveFile()
Const PATH_C As String = "C:\Users\dgray\Documents\"
Const PATH_F As String = "F:\Dave backup\Open Orders\Label Manifests\" & _
"Active Labels Manifest\Manifest Related\File saving testing folder\"
Dim fileName As String, custName As String
custName = "Siemens"
fileName = custName & " Manifest " & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yyyy") & ".xlsx" 'or .xlsm
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fileName:=PATH_C & fileName 'assume C is always available
'save to F if available
If Len(Dir(PATH_F)) > 0 Then
'assumes the custName folder already exists...
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fileName:=PATH_F & custName & "\" & fileName
End If
End Sub
I can see the space in folder name which may cause this error.
By removing space in the foldername this error would be fixed.
I need to save my excel file using a macro and I am making use of an old macro I made a while ago - which worked just fine. But now, I am getting an error which I don't seem to understand all to well.
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub SaveFile()
Dim strDir As String, saveDate As String, userMachine As String, Filename As String, yearDate As String, monthDate As String, filePath As String
Dim ws1 As Workbook
Set ws1 = Workbooks("Template.xlsm")
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
saveDate = "01/02/2019"
yearDate = Year(saveDate)
monthDate = Format(saveDate, "MMMM")
saveDate = Format(saveDate, "dd-mm-yyyy")
userMachine = "User - 12345"
strDir = "C:\user12345\desktop\Final Results\" & yearDate & "\" & monthDate & "\" & Format(saveDate, "dd-mm-yyyy") & "\"
filePath = ""
Filename = userMachine & " - " & saveDate & ".xlsx"
filePath = Dir(strDir & Filename)
If Dir(strDir, vbDirectory) = "" Then
MkDir strDir
If filePath = "" Then
ws1.SaveAs Filename:=filePath, FileFormat:=51, CreateBackup:=False
Else
MsgBox filePath & " Execution File Exists"
End If
Else
If filePath = "" Then
ws1.SaveAs Filename:=filePath, FileFormat:=51, CreateBackup:=False
Else
MsgBox filePath & " Execution File Exists"
End If
End If
End Sub
The error is on this line filePath = Dir(strDir & Filename) and the error is:
Bad File Name or Number
As far as I can see, my name for the file meets the requirements to save it so I am at a total loss here.
The original code I had was this:
strDir = "C:\username\desktop\" & Format(DateAdd("d", -1, Date), "dd_mm_YY") & "\"
FilePath = Dir(strDir & "myFile.xlsx")
Bad File Name or Number means that the string you are using to save the file is not valid.
You could replace the hardcoded string to your desktop with a relative reference from a function, such as:
Function getDeskTopPath() As String
'Get Desktop path as string
'Command can be exchanged for other information... see list below
'AllUsersDesktop
'AllUsersStartMenu
'AllUsersPrograms
'AllUsersStartup
'Desktop
'Favorites
'Fonts
'MyDocuments
'NetHood
'PrintHood
'Programs
'Recent
'SendTo
'StartMenu
'Startup
'Templates
Dim oShell As Object
Set oShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
getDeskTopPath = oShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
Set oShell = Nothing
End Function
I want to build the following:
select sheets for pdf printing - works
create folder and print sheets - works
attach those printed files to an email - doesn't work
the filename depends on cell values + Date (last Range.Value in filename), is there a way to get those pdfs attached?
I tried the following, but that doesn't work
'code ...
Dim myDir as String, mySht as String
myDir = "C:\Users\ihlin\OneDrive\Düngung\" & Worksheets("Drip_Drain_Eingabe").Range("s13").Text
mySht = Worksheets("Druckansicht_mmol").Range("c2").Text & "_" & Worksheets("Druckansicht_mmol").Range("K2").Text & "_" & Worksheets("Druckansicht_mmol").Range("P2").Text & "_" & "mmol_" & Worksheets("Druckansicht_mmol").Range("T1").Text
`code ... ...
If CheckBox1 = True Then
.Attachments.Add myDir & "\" & mySht & ".pdf"
End if
If CheckBox2 = True Then
.Attachments.Add myDir & "\" & mySht2 & ".pdf"
If CheckBox1 = True Then
.Attachments.Add myDir & "\" & mySht3 & ".pdf"
End if
If CheckBox1 = True Then
.Attachments.Add myDir & "\" & mySht4 & ".pdf"
End if
Publishing takes forever and ends with crashing Excel.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a simple debugging method. Try the following:
.Attachments.Add "c:\somehardcoded\address\ofthe\worksheet\folder\file.pdf"
If it works, then super, you simply have to find a way to represent the folder.
If it does not work, then forget it and try to attach the file in another way.
