Hello everyone,

I am kindly requesting support from you guys as I am struggeling to make this VBA code work.

I would like it to save the active sheet as a PDF onto a SharePoint folder, but I always get the following error message :

Capture1.PNG


VBA Code:
Sub ExportDashboardToPDF()

    Dim PathName As String

    Dim FileName As String

    PathName = "//sites.company.com/sites/OurTeam/Shared%20Documents/General/"
    
    FileName = Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & "_ExcelFileName" & ".pdf"

    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, FileName:=PathName & FileName _
    , Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=False, IgnorePrintAreas _
        :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False

End Sub

I have full access to our SharePoint environement and if I try to save it with the 'save as copy' Excel option, it works. I guess the issue might come from the format I want to apply to the filename.

Thank you very much in advance for your support !
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.

Hi again,

Seems I found the issue : 'https:' was missing from the pathname and with it added to the code, it works perfectly !

Regards
