How to save files in date order eg 1 Sep, 2 Sep without doing them individually

[Thickas]

Hi
I'd be thankful for any help.
I am wanting to write 01/9/2018 in cell A1 then save it as 01/09/2018.
I then want to open a new spreadsheet and write 02/09/2018 in cell A1 and save it as 02/09/2018
Then 3rd Sept etc all the way down to 30 September. Etc Etc.
At the moment, i am having to do one file at a time.

Is there any way I can just do the first one and somehow have it do all the work for me, so that I am
left with one file for each day, with each file having its date in cell A1?

Please keep it simple.
I'm as thick as pig****, hence my username.

Hi,

Create a new workbook, and in A1 down in Sheet1 write the dates you want (enter a date in A1, then drag down the cell).

Then run this (just amend the file location)

Option Explicit

Sub Createbooks()


Dim datestr As String
Dim rownum As Long
Dim Wk As Workbook
Application.DisplayAlerts = False


rownum = 1
Do Until Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(rownum, 1).Value = ""
datestr = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(rownum, 1).Value


Set Wk = Workbooks.Add
Range("A1").Value = datestr
datestr = Replace(datestr, "/", ".")
Wk.SaveAs Filename:="\\epping\public$\\AndrewM\" & datestr & ".xlsx"  ''update file location
Wk.Close


rownum = rownum + 1
Loop
Application.DisplayAlerts = True


End Sub

That looks very promising.
After I have amended the file location, where/how do I past the routine ?

Go to File > Options > Customize Ribbon, and tick the Developer button on the right. Select Ok.

Press Alt + F11 to open the VB studio.

On the left, right click on ThisWorkbook, go to Insert and click Module

Paste in the code, press F5 to run it
