Question:
I am using Excel 97 to create macros. I would like to have my macro “save as” and automaticaly create a filename partially from the current date.for example today is october 10 1997,an approporate name for file group “abc” could be…
- 1010abc.xls
- oct10abc.xls
- 101097abc.xls
Answer:
You can use the Format$ function to build your filename. The Format$ function is very flexible, as shown in the following example. If you wanted to build the second filename, oct10abc.xls, you would use the following code:
Dim sFilename As StringsFilename = Format$(Date$, “mmmddabc.xls”)Look in the Visual Basic help file for more information on the variety of user-defined Format$ parameters.
