Hello,

got problem, can somebody help me? How can I save file as .csv by macro in current folder? I would like to avoid defining file path to save because it will be different in every case.

Another question - how can I grab string from cell(A1) and put it in the name of saved workbook as prefix?

Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
ActiveWorkbook.Path will return the path that the current file is in.

If you turn on your Macro Recorder, and record yourself saving as a "CSV", you will have the VBA code that you need for that.

So here is an example of saving the file to the current directory as a CSV file, using cell A1 as the file name:
Code:
    Dim fName As String
    fName = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & Range("A1") & ".csv"
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName, _
        FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
