Hi,

The below code breakdown:

creates a pdf of 2 tabs ('Total' & active sheet)
creates a new folder
names the new folder based on the cell B4 value and stores the pdf in the folder location where the excel was launched from.

FYI, Cell B4 is a date value.

What I would like it to do is, Read the cell value in the cell B4 and go 1 step back in the folder location the excel was launched from and match month & year of cell B4 with the folders, open that matched folder and create a new folder, save the pdf in there.

For example: If the excel is launched from P:\INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY\Non-Public\08 2019\Test

I want the code to read the B4 value, let's say if its 08/01/2019, It should match MM & YYYY of B4 cell with the folders in P:\INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY\Non-Public\ and find a matched folder, open it and save the pdf in there.
In this case it will be P:\INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY\Non-Public\08 2019

Dim wsA As Worksheet
Dim wbA As Workbook
Dim strName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim strPathFile As String
