Hi everyone, I am very new to Marco, it would be glad to get some help here :)

Here is my trial:


DD = Day(Date)
MMM = Month(Date)
YY = Year(Date)
WBK = "S:\Project" & Format(Now, "DD MMM YY") & ".xlsx"

Windows("Destination File.xlsx").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=WBK, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWindow.Close


So far, it is working. But I would like to add a cell value into the file name.
Example: Cell A2 = "Item Code"
I am expecting the file to be save as " S:\Project\Item Code - 28 Oct 19.xlsx"

Can anybody give me a hand?
Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Insert A2 in between like this:

WBK = "S:\Project" & A2 & Format......

Need a back-slash after the word "Project". I don't know why the web site kept removing it.
