I have a simple macro on an excel sheet where at the click of a button, it changes the page into a pdf.

Currently, the path is as such:
Sub savereport()
'
' savereport Macro
'
Sheets("Print Preview").Select
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:\Users\E233761\Downloads\WeeklyReport.pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
True
End Sub


It works fine on my laptop but when I send it to a colleage it does not work, which makes sense because the path is trying to save it to my downloads. What path do I write to get it to save onto the downloads of whoever the user is?

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Hi & welcome to the board.
Try this
Code:
"C:\Users\" & Environ("Username") & "\Downloads\WeeklyReport.pdf"

Hi Fluff, thank you!

Shall I copy paste this directly or would be need to put a sub in for the "username" section?
