Hi everyone,

First time poster here (please be gentle!). Terribly sorry if this has already been seen before and fixed, again I'm new here, just hoping to learn a little code... Not a wizz with macros and just trying to fix a batch XLSX to CSV macro issue I've got.

Anyway, the code works fine generally, but unfortunately when the CSVs are output I lose all of the leading 0's to every cell, which I need for my Python code to later read time/dates properly. I can only tell this when I open the CSV files in notepad++ and they simply aren't there, otherwise the CSVs look identical.

Here's my code below.

Any help would be greaaaatly appreciated.


VBA Code:
Sub WorkbooksSaveAsCsvToFolder()

'Update

Dim xObjWB As Workbook

Dim xObjWS As Worksheet

Dim xStrEFPath As String

Dim xStrEFFile As String

Dim xObjFD As FileDialog

Dim xObjSFD As FileDialog

Dim xStrSPath As String

Dim xStrCSVFName As String

Dim xS  As String

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    Application.EnableEvents = False

    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

    Application.DisplayAlerts = False

    On Error Resume Next

Set xObjFD = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)

    xObjFD.AllowMultiSelect = False

    xObjFD.Title = "Select a folder which contains XLSX files"

    If xObjFD.Show <> -1 Then Exit Sub

    xStrEFPath = xObjFD.SelectedItems(1) & "\"

    Set xObjSFD = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)

 
    xObjSFD.AllowMultiSelect = False

    xObjSFD.Title = "Select a folder to send CSV files"

    If xObjSFD.Show <> -1 Then Exit Sub

    xStrSPath = xObjSFD.SelectedItems(1) & "\"


    xStrEFFile = Dir(xStrEFPath & "*.xls*")


    Do While xStrEFFile <> ""

       xS = xStrEFPath & xStrEFFile

        Set xObjWB = Application.Workbooks.Open(xS)

        xStrCSVFName = xStrSPath & Left(xStrEFFile, InStr(1, xStrEFFile, ".") + 50)
       
        xStrCSVFName = xStrSPath & Left(xStrEFFile, InStr(1, xStrEFFile, "xl") - 2) & ".csv"

        xObjWB.SaveAs Filename:=xStrCSVFName, FileFormat:=xlCSV

        xObjWB.Close savechanges:=False

        xStrEFFile = Dir

  Loop

    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

    Application.EnableEvents = True

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

    Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
