Hi!

I need help with some of my coding.
I cant seem to get the saveAS function to work inside a do while loop.
It works fine outside the loop.
When its inside the loop it keeps saving the same file and wont exit the saveAS and go to the next step.

VBA Code: 
Sub test()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("LS")

Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Set ws2 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")

i = 2

y = 5
x = 7

Uo1 = 5
AntLas = 7
Kund1 = 1

ws2.Range("A12:AFP20").ClearContents

Do Until ws.Range("B" & i) = ""

If ws.Range("B" & i) = ws.Range("B" & i + 1) And ws.Range("A" & i) = ws.Range("A" & i + 1) Then

Cells(8, y) = ""

Cells(8, x) = ""

UO = ws.Range("A" & i)
LASS = ws.Range("B" & i)
Kund = ws.Range("E" & i)
antal2 = ws.Range("D" & i + 1)

ws2.Cells(8, Uo1) = UO
ws2.Cells(8, AntLas) = LASS
ws2.Cells(12, Kund1) = Kund
ws2.Cells(12 + 1, Kund1) = Kund2

i = i + 1

If ws.Range("B" & i) = ws.Range("B" & i + 1) Then

Kund3 = ws.Range("E" & i + 1)
ws2.Cells(12 + 2, Kund1) = Kund3



i = i + 1

End If


If ws.Range("B" & i) = ws.Range("B" & i + 1) Then

Kund4 = ws.Range("E" & i + 1)
ws2.Cells(12 + 3, Kund1) = Kund4


i = i + 1
End If


If ws.Range("B" & i) = ws.Range("B" & i + 1) Then


antal5 = ws.Range("D" & i + 1)
ws2.Cells(12 + 4, AntLas) = antal5

i = i + 1
End If


If ws.Range("B" & i) = ws.Range("B" & i + 1) Then


antal6 = ws.Range("D" & i + 1)
ws2.Cells(12 + 5, AntLas) = antal6

i = i + 1
End If



Else

Cells(8, y) = ""

Cells(8, x) = ""

UO = ws.Range("A" & i)
LASS = ws.Range("B" & i)


ws2.Cells(8, Uo1) = UO
ws2.Cells(8, AntLas) = LASS


End If

'Uo1 = Uo1 + 9
'AntLas = AntLas + 9
'Kund1 = Kund1 + 9
'i = i + 1
'y = y + 9
'x = x + 9

Call spara 


Loop



End Sub


The saveAS funcion is in Sub "Spara" wich im calling above the loop

This is the saveAS sub

VBA Code: 
Vecka = Range("B8").Value
UO = Range("E8").Value
LASS = Range("G8").Value

Set wb = Workbooks.Add


    ThisWorkbook.Activate
    ActiveSheet.Copy Before:=wb.Sheets(1)
    wb.Activate
    wb.SaveAs "c:\users\name\folder\" & Vecka & "-" & UO & "-" & LASS & "-" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xlsx"
    wb.Close

Even though i click yes 100 hundred times it keeps popping up as if its not getting to the next step in the loop.

Hi and welcome to MrExcel.

In these lines of code you are not putting the reference of the sheet.
You must put ws or ws2, as appropriate.

Rich (BB code): 
Sub test()
  Dim ws As Worksheet
  Dim ws2 As Worksheet
  Dim i As Long, y As Long, x As Long
  Dim Uo1 As Long, AntLas As Long, Kund1 As Long

Hi again, thanks for a quick reply.

I made some edits as you wanted in my code and thanks for that. But the problem keeps occuring and it keeps looping and wont exit the sub "Spara" it keeps looping and saving the sheet infinity.
It saves it one time and everything looks fine in the new workbook, but it keeps saving and saving and wont exit the loop.

Need to increase i.
I made other adjustments to run the sub.

Recommendation, you should use the "Option Explicit" statement at the beginning of all the code, that will force you to declare all your variables, that way, it will minimize the error when using them.

It works like a charm, thanks for everything.

Can you explain more what the problem was? I know that i didnt increase the I but that was because i was testing.
I didnt run the code only jumping with F8 and i thought I wouldnt matter because it should jump back to the loop after saving one file.

Only 2 things, increase i, and identify which sheet to take the data from.
