Date into filename noe I need time also
 
I have the following VBA in workbook (Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal
SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Galashiels Stock as of " & Format(Date,
"dd-mm-yy") & ".xls"
End Sub)

How do I add the time into the text??

Regards


Mark

Use the Now function (returns current date and time) instead of Date
(which only returns the current date), and modify your format string to
include the time part:

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Galashiels Stock as of " & Format(Now,
"dd-mm-yy hh:nn:ss") & ".xls"

HTH,
Nikos

Hi, Put in the new code but had to take away symbols":" as they are not
allowed in filename so when replaced with "-" it saves but does not recognise
a date, saves as 00-00-00 in the time part.

Any ideas??

Good point, I should have thought of that!

This is funny, it shouldn't... care to re-post your modified code?

Here it is

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Galashiels Tea Fund " & Format(Date,
"dd-mm-yy hh:mm:ss") & ".xls"
End Sub

Thanks

Mark,

Replace Date with Now in your code.

I take it you will get rid of the colons ( : ) in the format string, as
you said they will not be accepted in the filename. Apart from that,
your time part of the format string reads:

hh:mm:ss (or hh-mm-ss)

whereas it should be

hh:nn:ss (or hh-nn-ss)

as per my original post. It wasn't a typing mistake on my part, Excel
indeed uses n rather than m for minutes (in order to be able to
differentiate from m which is used for month!).

If that fails too, maybe you have non-english (US or English) regional
settings, which use different letters? Check the proposed time formats
in Language and Regional Settings (from the Control Panel) to see what
letters are used.

HTH,
Nikos

Alan's right, I missed that.

No, you can't combat that, colons won't be accepted by the file system,
nothing you can do about it in VBA code.

Thanks for the Help.

Another little problem I have, maybe you can help me out. Read below all I
need to do is format the cells to 0 "weeks" as bob says but dont understand
how to no options to do that in format cells.


Thanks again

Sorry Bob, little confused, can explain how to format the cell as 0 " Weeks"

Thanks

Is there a way I can also insert a text to go along with the number at

the
end of the formula. e.g. (6 Weeks) the 6 is generated by the current

formula
all I need is to add weeks as text.

Mark,

You should stay with your other post. However, Bob suggestion would be
applied using FormatCellsCustom at the bottom of the pick list.
