Hi all,

I have the following code, but this saves my workbook to C:/Documents.. is there a way to make it save to the same folder, my original file is in?

I have this Workbook full of macros and code which allows data manipulation efficiently sort of a 'Raw data converter', and this last macro would create the 'final formatted Data' version, saved as an xlsx, so it can be just stored, but the original 'converter' file will be on a shared drive, so I am not sure whre this macro will save to, if its not specified..

Could someone help me with this please?

Code:
Sub Finalize()

Worksheets(Array("Info&Admin", "Data Summary")).Copy


ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Data_export " & Format(Date, "DD-MM-YYYY"), FileFormat:=xlWorkbookDefault


ActiveWorkbook.Close


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Try
Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\Data_export " & Format(Date, "DD-MM-YYYY"), FileFormat:=xlWorkbookDefault

Maybe something like this:

Code:
Sub Finalize()

[COLOR=#ff0000]Dim pth as String

pth = Activeworkbook.Path[/COLOR]

Worksheets(Array("Info&Admin", "Data Summary")).Copy

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= [COLOR=#ff0000]pth[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]&[/COLOR] "[COLOR=#ff0000]\[/COLOR]Data_export " & Format(Date, "DD-MM-YYYY") [COLOR=#ff0000]& ".xlsx"[/COLOR], FileFormat:=xlWorkbookDefault

ActiveWorkbook.Close

End Sub
