VBA code with cell.Value and SaveAs works in Windows, not Mac, help

[randyharris]

Hi, I've got a piece of code I found online and it works awesome in Excel for Windows. It takes a long list of data and saves out separate files for each unique value in column A. However, when running it on Excel 2019 for Mac, it does not use the unique values in Column A for the file name, but rather Book1.xlsx, Book2,xlsx, etc...

I would really love to make this work properly in either platform if you could help! I think it may be the 'cell.Value' part that is working in Windows but not Mac - or maybe with the SaveAs command - unsure how to make it adaptable to work properly on both platforms.

Thanks!

Just a quick glance at your code, but try replacing this:

& "" &

with this:

& Application.PathSeparator &

in your SaveAs line

Thank you so very much! Works like a charm on both platforms.
