I got a question like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it possible when saving a file in vba to add the current month\/year to the end of the filename with the format mmm\/yy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The code I have so far…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<code>Workbooks(“test.xls”).SaveCopyAs (“C:\\xls files\\test.xls”)<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I need the month\/year to be added to test.xls so that it looks like “test_Oct-07.xls”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s do the magic with below codes<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Workbooks(“test.xls”).SaveCopyAs (“C:\\xls files\\test_” & Format(Date,”mmm-yy”) & “.xls”)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, it is another sample for adding year and last month in different format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Path = ActiveWorkbook.Path & \"\\\"\nnfname = \"SLGA_NCD_\" & Format(Now() - 30, \"yyyy-mmm\") & \".xlsx\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
