You can create a macro in Excel that will save all open workbooks in the same folder with a filename that is a combination of the values in cells A1, B3, and B4. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open Excel and press ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
- Insert a new module: Click on Insert > Module.
- Copy and paste the following VBA code into the module:
Vba code is untested backup your file first.
Sub SaveAllWorkbooks() Dim wb As Workbook Dim folderPath As String Dim fileName As String Dim savePath As String ' Get the folder path of the active workbook folderPath = ThisWorkbook.Path ' Get the filename from cells A1, B3, and B4 fileName = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value & "_" & _ ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("B3").Value & "_" & _ ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("B4").Value & ".xlsx" ' Loop through all open workbooks For Each wb In Application.Workbooks ' Construct the full save path savePath = folderPath & "\" & fileName ' Save the workbook with the new filename wb.SaveAs Filename:=savePath, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook Next wb MsgBox "All workbooks saved with the filename: " & fileName End Sub
Explanation of the Code:
- ThisWorkbook.Path: Gets the folder path of the workbook where the macro is running.
- fileName: Concatenates the values from cells A1, B3, and B4 in the first sheet and adds the .xlsx extension.
- For Each wb In Application.Workbooks: Loops through each open workbook in Excel.
- wb.SaveAs: Saves each workbook using the constructed fileName.
Steps to Use:
- Customize the cell references (A1, B3, B4) if needed, depending on where your data is located.
- Run the macro by pressing F5 or by assigning it to a button in your workbook.
This macro will save each open workbook in the same folder as the active workbook with a filename that combines the values from cells A1, B3, and B4. The text, steps and code were created with the help of AI.
