I have a call to macro that creates a folder by date:

Code:
[SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]Dim[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] sPath [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]As[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]String[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#303336]sPath = [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"M:\Lvl3-5Mgrs\"[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]If[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] Len(Dir(sPath & Format([/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]Date[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336], [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"yyyy_mm_dd"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336]), vbDirectory)) = [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]0[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]Then[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#303336] MkDir (sPath & Format([/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]Date[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336], [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"yyyy_mm_dd"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336]))[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]End[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]If[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

and then I want to create folders in that by Executive manager (not working, needs editing):

Code:
[SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]Sub[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] Executive[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]dim[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] str1 [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]as[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]string[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]dim[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] wbk1 [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]as[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]string[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Consolas][SIZE=2][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]Set[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] wbk1 = [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"M:\Lvl3-5Mgrs\VBA_2018 Mid Year TCR_MACROS.xlsx"[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Consolas][SIZE=2][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]Const[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] basepath = [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"M:\Lvl3-5Mgrs\"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] & Format([/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]Date[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336], [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"yyyy_mm_dd"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336]) <- gets expression [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]error[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Consolas][SIZE=2][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]for[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] x = [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]2[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] [/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]to[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] lastrow[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#303336]str1 = wkb1.Sheet([/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336]).Range([/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"AQ"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] & x).Text[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#303336]MkDir basepath & Format([/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]Date[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336], [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"yyyy_mm_dd"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336]) & str1[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#101094]next[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] x
END SUB
[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

and then I have things in theworksheet itself that show what to filter and how to name the file.

Code:

and then it saves the filename asthe manager in the list in "mgrlvl4" sheet.

Code:
[SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#303336].SaveAs Filename:=[/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"M:\Lvl3-5Mgrs\"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] & Format([/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]Date[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336], [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"yyyy_mm_dd"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336]) _[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][COLOR=#303336]          & [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"\"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336] & Format([/COLOR][COLOR=#101094]Date[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336], [/COLOR][COLOR=#7d2727]"yyyy_mm_dd_"[/COLOR][COLOR=#303336]) & Manager, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

How do I modify the.SaveAs location in the main script so that it finds the Date folder &executive mgr that the supervisor filename falls under?

I want it to create a Date Folder -> Executive folders within that date folder -> and then create separate files by managers that report up to the executive
