Save this file as the .csv file

Close the new workbook.

Another option that may work for you:

Put a formula like this in E1:
=c1&","&d1
and drag down

Then copy this column and paste into NotePad. *Save that as a .CSV file.

Depending what's in those fields, you may want to add double quotes, too.

Hi,

I have a small spreadsheet with 20 check boxes in Column A (A1-A20)..
They are all linked to corresponding cells in Column B which give TRUE
or FALSE depending on if they are checked or unchecked. No problem
there.

I have the corresponding check boxes displaying "Computer 1" in cell
C1 and so on down to C20
i.e. Formula in C1 is =IF(B1,"Computer 1","")

Once the user has checked/unchecked as required then I'd like to be
able to save Column C1:C20 and Column D1:D20 to a csv file called
"UserInput.csv"

Thanks
Ephraim

I'm trying to make this as transparent to the user as possible. The
resulting file will be providing input to a powershell 2.0 script.
Leaving it to the user leaves room for error. I would like to
eliminate as much user error as possible by automating as much of this
as possible.

I've googled some lengthy examples of how to do this but was hoping
someone with more knowledge than I would be able to provide a quicker
fix for this than the 80 to 100 lines that I was able to find.

Thanks
