Date in the workbook name
Hi
I am trying to input the date into the title of the my workbook. I know that you can not have a / in the title of a workbook but you can have a - so I could put the date in as 8-2-2009 for instance. So I am wondering is anyone knows how to get a date value from a cell that would look like 8/2/2009 and then take that date and put it in as the title of a workbook, but have it formatted such that it would look like 8-2-2009. Also is there a way to just add a day to a date, so that I could name the next workbook 8-3-2009. Thanks |

Thanks In general you can format the date in a cell like this Format(Range("A1"), "m-d-yyyy") or this Format(Range("A1") + 1, "m-d-yyyy") |

How are you using it? it should be used like this in VBA Code: -------------------- ThisWorkbook.SaveAs (ThisWorkbook.Name & " - " & Format(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value, "dd-mm-yy") & ".xls") -------------------- A & S;438636 Wrote: On Aug 1, 6:00*pm, smartin wrote: A & S wrote: Hi I am trying to input the date into the title of the my workbook.

I should have said, In general, you can format a date from a cell as a string in VBA like this... Then you can use that formatted string to save your worksheet. The Code Cage Team has you covered. |
