Hello guys.
I am new here and have tried to search for an answer that suits my needs, but to no avail.
I have managed to do almost all I need it to do by copying functions from others suggestions here.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim content As String
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("A12:AS30")
Dim Path As String
Dim FileName1 As String
Dim FileName2 As String
Dim FileName3 As String

Dim sWB As Workbook, _
sWS As Worksheet

Dim dWB As Workbook, _
dWS As Worksheet

Path = "\\PATH\"
'Path = "PATH"
FileName1 = Range("A16")
FileName2 = Range("B16")
Set sWB = ActiveWorkbook
Set sWS = sWB.ActiveSheet

Set dWB = Workbooks.Add
Set dWS = dWB.Sheets(1)

sWS.Range("A12:AS30").Copy
dWS.Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
dWB.SaveAs filename:=Path & FileName1 & "_" & FileName2 & ".csv", FileFormat:=xlTextMSDOS
dWB.Close False
End Sub


The data set that I want to export is built by a number of formulas, some resulting in an empty cell (only containing the formula, no data).

I want all cells copied to the CSV file, but the ones without data just as an empty field.
The thing I need help with is that my crated CSV file is not separated by anything other than tabs it looks like.

What I get now is:
CONTRACT MCH-CODE MCH-NAME MCH-LOC MCH-POS MCH-DOC PURCH-PRICE PURCH-DATE WARR-EXP NOTE INFO DATA COMPANY PRODUCTION-DATE EQUIPMENT-MAIN-POSITION GROUP-ID MCH-TYPE COST-CENTER OBJECT-NO CATEGORY-ID SUP-MCH-CODE SUP-CONTRACT OBJ-LEVEL MANUFACTURER-NO VENDOR-NO SERIAL-NO TYPE PART-NO CRITICALITY PLANT-DESIGN-ID PLANT-DESIGN-PROJPHASE PLANT-DESIGN-COTPROJ-PROJID IS-CATEGORY-OBJECT IS-GEOGRAPHIC-OBJECT OPERATIONAL-STATUS OPERATIONAL-STATUS-DB MANUFACTURED-DATE CF$_MACHINE_CLASSIFICATION_DB CF$_MACHINE_CLASSIFICATION CF$_SAP_ASSET_NO CF$_MODEL CF$_COMP_CLASS_DB CF$_COMP_CLASS CF$_CLASS CF$_DRAWING_POS

I would like it to be:

I managed to find an easy way to solve it.
dWB.SaveAs filename:=Path & FileName1 & "_" & FileName2 & ".csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV ---- Just added: , Local:=True in the end of this row.
Ah, yes. That would make sense. I didn't realize that you have to tell it to use your local settings. I thought that updated the Regional Settings would be enough, but apparently you need to do that too.

Glad you got it all figured out!

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)

Private Sub Create_CSV()
Dim content As String
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = Range("A12:AS30")
Dim Path As String

Dim FileName2 As String
Dim FileName3 As String

Dim sWB As Workbook, _
sWS As Worksheet

Dim dWB As Workbook, _
dWS As Worksheet

Path = "PATH\"
FileName1 = Range("A16")
FileName2 = Range("B16")
