Description:

This macro demonstrates how to take the text from a cell and use that as the file name when the file is saved. 

Discussion:

You may want to save a file with a different name. This macro allows you to simple change the text in a cell (in this case A1 on Sheet1) and the macro will save the file with that name. 

Code:

instructions for use

			

Option Explicit Sub SaveAsExample() Dim FName As String Dim FPath As String FPath = "C:" FName = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Text ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "\" & FName End Sub

  1. Open Excel.
  2. Alt + F11 to open the VBE.
  3. Insert | Module.
  4. Paste the code there.
  5. Close the VBE (Alt + Q or press the x in the top right corner).

  1. Tools | Macro | Macros...
  2. Put the file name in Cell A1 on Sheet1.
