Hello,

Why doesn't this work?
The error is in the line that starts with ChDir abc & ""...

Code:
abc = "C:\a\b\c"
f = Range("A1")


       Sheets("1").Select
[B]       ChDir abc & "\" & f & "\" & "\g"[/B]
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
        "a" & "_" & f & "_" & Format(Now(), "dd.mm.yyyy") & ".pdf" _
        , Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas _
        :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
What's the error message?

Note you don't really need to us ChDir at all there - you can simply specify the full path and file name in the following export line.

error 76, path not found
So basically if I just remove ChDir and leave pšart of the path as a string it should work?

Yes


If you set filename to "C:\a\b\c" & "" & f & "" & "\g" & "a" & "_" & f & "_" & Format(Now(), "dd.mm.yyyy") & ".pdf"



Notice the extra "" after the "g"

That is the gist but it sounds as though your path is invalid, so that will probably fail too! You need to make sure the path you specify actually exists.
