Hi there,

I have a piece of code that converts a document into a pdf. I'm trying to save the report as "2017 Annual Report for [XYZ]"

Right now, when I run the code, it saves the file as whatever is stored in the SaveAsString, which is Person's name.


Code:
Filename:=SaveAsString & ".pdf", _

I want to add "2016 Annual Report" in front of this. How should I do that? Can I concatenate the "2017 Annual..." with the "SaveAsString" If so, how do I do that? Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Hi jjykim,

Since you've already defined a variable, I'd use the following:

Code:
SaveAsString = "Trebor76"
SaveAsString = "2016 Annual Report " & SaveAsString

You could just add the text like so...

Code:
Filename:="2016 Annual Report " & SaveAsString & ".pdf", _

...but in my humble opinion this defeats the purpose of having the SaveAsString variable.

Robert
