Basing Macro Code on Cell Values


Posted by Colin on January 08, 2001 12:39 PM

Is it possible for a macro to look through a series of cells and then base the macro code on the results of those cells?

For example, if in column A the first three cells had values:

'(blank)'
'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\GMP Summary\2001.xls"'
'(blank)'

I would then want the macro to save one file.

However, if in column A, the first three cells had values:

'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\GMP Summary\2000.xls"'
'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\GMP Summary\2001.xls"'
'(blank)'

The macro would then save two files.

Also, does it matter if the cell value is text or a formula result?

Thanks again, in advance for any help.

Colin

Why not have only the file name in the cell, loop through the cells and if not empty, use that to save the file to that name.

It is a bit unclear why you would save the same file to different filenames...
