Day before creation date in cell or as sheet name
Hi all
Thanks for reading this! I'm trying to get the day before the creation date of a file into a cell - or to set it as its sheet name. One small addition is that I need it as text. So if the creation date is 06/02/06, I need to cell to be 050206 (as text), if the creation date is 01/03/06 then the cell would be 280206. I've got a macro that formats column A as Text and then fills it with the sheet name, but I'd like to do it all automatically. Thanks in advance. |

You can use BuiltInDocumentProperties to get the creation date.
E.g., ThisWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Creation Date") How do you get 280206 from 1/3/2006? -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com <Andy wrote in message ...

Chip
Thanks for your reply. I have a problem, though! The file that I am working on is an imported .txt and the macro crashes with a Run-time error 5 - Invalid procedure call or argument. The line I'm trying to use is this: Range("A2").Value = ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Creation Date") and I'm wondering if it's because the sheet is not technically a workbook. The macro imports a .txt file, deletes junk from it and formats some of the columns and I need to get the creation date of the txt file. Thanks. Andy. "Chip Pearson" wrote in message ...

Range("A2").Value = _
ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Creation Date") Range("A2").Value = _ ActiveWorkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Creation Date") "Creation Date" is two separate words. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com <AndyB wrote in message ...
