Vba - Save .txt file in Excel format, while keeping the orginal name?

[MyriamSL]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to add a ''save'' function at the end of my macro to save my file in Excel format (originally a .txt file), while keeping the same name the .txt had. I was able to either do one or the other (Excel file that didn't retain the original name, or text file with the right, original name), but not both at the same time.

I'm sure it's really not that complicated, but I'm a vba newbie.

Thanks!

Try this:

Sub SaveFile()
  Dim xName As String
  
  Application.DisplayAlerts = False
  xName = Replace(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".txt", ".xlsx")
  ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=xName, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
  ActiveWorkbook.Close False
  Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

If this is related to your other question, then the complete code is:

Sub Open_Txt_and_save()
  Dim xName As String
  
  With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    .Title = "Select txt file"
    .Filters.Add "Txt Files", "*.txt"
    .AllowMultiSelect = False
    .InitialFileName = "C:\trabajo"
    If .Show Then
      Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=.SelectedItems.Item(1), _
        Origin:=xlWindows, _
        StartRow:=1, _
        DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
        ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
        Tab:=False, _
        Semicolon:=False, _
        Comma:=True, _
        Space:=False, _
        Other:=False
    End If
  End With
  
  Application.DisplayAlerts = False
  xName = Replace(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".txt", ".xlsx")
  ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=xName, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
  ActiveWorkbook.Close False
  Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
