Hello all,

I have a very simple VBA code, that I use to create a new folder.
VBA Code:
MkDir "C:\Users\aan\Desktop\" & [A1]
I keep trying and failing to make both parts of this a cell reference. I need both the location and new file name to be changeable.

Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Since you show your new folder name as being in cell A1, I'll assume your existing path is in cell B1. With that said, this worked for me...
VBA Code:
MkDir [B1&A1]

Two points to note...

1) Your existing path must always end with a backslash character

2) You cannot create more than one folder at any one time as all folders leading up to the one you are creating must already exist beforehand.
