Hi Guys,

I am currently using a macro which will send the working sheet as attachment in mail, but i also wanted the attachment to get saved in the specific folder in my local.Below is my current code , it will be really helpful if i can have the code for saving the attachment in local folder.

Local folder path : C:\Users\xyz\Desktop\macro

Code:
Sub SendMail()
   'Turn off screen updating
   Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  
   'Activate the correct sheet in the workbook
   ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Catalog Integration Formatter").Activate
  
   'EMAIL SHEET AS ATTACHMENT
   Dim LWorkbook As Workbook
   Dim LFileName As String
   Dim Provider As String
   Dim Delim As String
   Dim file_date As String
   Dim subject_date As String
   Dim Build As String
   Dim Marketplace As String
   Dim emailString As String
   Provider = Range("D1").Value
   Delim = " - "
   file_date = Format(Now, "MMM,d,yyyy")
   subject_date = Now()
   Build = Range("F3").Value
   Marketplace = Range("F4").Value
   emailString = Range("L2").Value
   
   ' Add current time to Date cell
   Range("F5") = Format(subject_date, "mm/dd/yyyy h:mm AM/PM")
   
    'Align the columns pasted in from the CSV file
    Range("E13:E32,E35:E54,E57:E76,E79:E98").Select
    With Selection
        .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
        .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
    End With
    Range("F13:F32,F35:F54,F57:F76,F79:F98,H13:H32,H35:H54,H57:H76,H79:H98").Select
    With Selection
        .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
        .WrapText = True
    End With
   Range("D1").Select
   
   'Copy the active worksheet and save to a temporary workbook
   ActiveSheet.Copy
   Set LWorkbook = ActiveWorkbook


   'Create a temporary file in your current directory that uses the name of the sheet as the filename
   LFileName = Provider & Delim & file_date
   On Error Resume Next
   'Delete the file if it already exists
   Kill LFileName
   On Error GoTo 0
   'Save temporary file
   LWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=LFileName, FileFormat:=52


   ' Select the table (or range of cells) on the active worksheet.
   ActiveSheet.Columns("D:J").Select
   
   ' Show the envelope on the ActiveWorkbook.
   ActiveWorkbook.EnvelopeVisible = False
   
   ' Set email destination, subject line and send
   With ActiveSheet.MailEnvelope
      .Item.Subject = Provider & Delim & Marketplace & Delim & Build & Delim & subject_date
      .Item.To = emailString
      .Item.Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
      .Item.Send
   End With
      
   'Delete the temporary file and close temporary Workbook
   LWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadOnly
   Kill LWorkbook.FullName
   LWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False


   'Turn back on screen updating
   Application.ScreenUpdating = True
   
End Sub

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Hi so from what I can see here it already gets saved but then deleted. BUT! I'll add in some extra code to build your filepath if it does not exist, so if you change:

Code:
LWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=LFileName, FileFormat:=52
To:

Code:
<code> Dim elm As Variant
Dim strCheckPath As String
Dim strPath As String

    strPath = "E:\Users\xyz\Desktop\macro"
    strCheckPath = ""
    For Each elm In Split(strPath, "\")
        strCheckPath = strCheckPath & elm & "\"
        If Len(Dir(strCheckPath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then MkDir strCheckPath
    Next elm
    LWorkBook.SaveAs Filename:=strPath & "\" & LFileName, FileFormat:=52</code>

And also remove these lines:

Code:
'Delete the temporary file and close temporary Workbook
LWorkbook.ChangeFileAccess Mode:=xlReadOnly
Kill LWorkbook.FullName

Then it should save it to your desired location.
