Hi,
I am new to macros but hope you can help me.
I have a list of items and related information (model, serial number etc) and I need a macro so that I can press a button and export the item name and serial number of each item into another workbook for each item on the original list including a pop up option of where these new workbooks would be saved.

I hope this makes sense, please help
 
It should only include C3 & C4 & C5 & H3 and the extension "xlsx".

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.

Yes for the actual file name but I think windows or excel count the characters of the file path as part of the max number of characters. Its working fine now if I don't include C5 in the file name and I have the smallest possible file path.

It works until a cell that would be too long as a file name pops up then I get the error. Problem is I don't know its too long until the error pops up and then I have to start again which is a pain as it takes a long time to work through. There is 612 rows in the actual data file.

Maybe you can consider a different way of naming the file.
