I tried to create a procedure whose objective is to convert the excel spreadsheet to pdf and save it in the folder "D:\Users\(UserName)\Documents\Project\(MachineName)", this program will be used by several users on different computers , how can I make the PDF be saved in the documents regardless of the user who is accessing it?



Available folders to save the file depending on the MachineName variable:

My Sub for convert file to PDF:

The file format must remain the same (MachineName, "Date of Today")

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
You don't seem to be using the FilePath variable in the filename argument.

You don't seem to be using the FilePath variable in the filename argument.
Sorry, the "FilePath" in the argument doesn’t appear in the photo, but when I tried it didn’t work either

1. Please don't post code as pictures. It just means anyone trying to help has to retype the whole thing (which means they are less likely to bother...)

2. You appear to be missing a backslash on the end of FilePath, and that code could be tidied up (but see point 1).

Sorry, there is the code:

Can u check for me the cause of the error? I already tried to put the backslash but doesn´t result

VBA Code:
Sub SaveAsPDF()

Dim FilePath As String

    Select Case MachineName
    Case "A4"
        FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\A4"
    Case "A8.1"
        FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\A8_1"
    Case "A8.2"
         FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\A8_2"
    Case "A8.3"
         FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\A8_3"
    Case "A12.1"
         FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\A12_1"
    Case "A12.2"
         FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\A12_2"
    Case "A12.3"
         FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\A12_3"
    Case "A20.1"
         FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\A20_1"
    Case "A20.2"
         FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\A20_2"
    End Select

    Sheets("Final").Range("A1:AO69").ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, filename:= FilePath &
    MachineName & " _ " & Format(Now(), "dd.mm.yyyy") & ".pdf" _
     , Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
        IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
       
End Sub

VBA Code:
Sub SaveAsPDF()

Dim FilePath As String

    Select Case MachineName
    Case "A4","A8.1","A8.2","A8.3","A12.1","A12.2","A12.3","A20.1","A20.2"
         FilePath = Environ("userprofile") & "\Documents\Projeto\" & MachineName & "\"

    Sheets("Final").Range("A1:AO69").ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, filename:= FilePath & MachineName & " _ " & Format(Now(), "dd.mm.yyyy") & ".pdf" _
     , Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
        IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
     End Select
End Sub

If that doesn't work, we need to know exactly what is happening - are you getting an error (if so, what and on which line), or is it saving to the wrong place, or not saving at all, or... ?

That's actually your code as you posted it. I didn't notice that you broke it onto two lines but didn't put a line continuation character in. I've amended my version above.
