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??

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 "Nikos Yannacopoulos" wrote: santaviga wrote: Hi, Put in the new code but had to take away symbols":" as they are not allowed in filename so when replaced with "-" Good point, I should have thought of that! it saves but does not recognise a date, saves as 00-00-00 in the time part.

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. Nikos |

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 Mark "Bob Phillips" wrote: Format the cell as 0 " Weeks" this will preserve the number if you want to use it. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) wrote in message ups.com... Hi try = your-formula & " Weeks" where your-formula is the one you wrote down regards Paul santaviga wrote: I have cells with the following formula in them (=INT(TODAY()-INDEX('Galashiels Tea Fund'!$1:$1,1,MATCH("x",'Galashiels Tea Fund'!4:4)))/7) this returns a number in the cell with reference to the date, 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. Thanks Mark |

Mark,
You should stay with your other post. However, Bob suggestion would be applied using FormatCellsCustom at the bottom of the pick list. Alan santaviga wrote: Thanks for the Help.
