Hi everyone, i've had luck getting VBA to rename a file based on the current date.
However, every Monday I work on a file that's dated from Last Sunday to Last Saturday.

When I rename this file I name it "POS 20190120-20190126"

YY-MM-DD

Can anyone help me have VBA automatically name/save the file to last weeks Sunday-Saturday? I'd appreciate any tips. :confused:
 

Excel Facts

Create a chart in one keystroke
Select the data and press Alt+F1 to insert a default chart. You can change the default chart to any chart type
Code:
Sub t()
Dim fName As String
fName = "POS " & Format(Date - 8, "yyyymmdd") & "-" & Format(Date - 2, "yyyymmdd")
MsgBox fName
End Sub

Dim fName As String
Dim FPath As String
fName = "POS " & Format(Date - 8, "yyyymmdd") & "-" & Format(Date - 2, "yyyymmdd")
MsgBox fName


FPath = "C:\Users\paul.ferguson\Downloads"


ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "" & fName & ".xlsm", _
    FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
' [COLOR=#333333]End Sub[/COLOR]

I had to change to ActiveWorkbook to open files.

Thanks for your help!

Currently what I have works great, and I can continue to use it. However on the occasion that I take a Monday off and return tuesday, the dates are off because the report was not run on Monday. Any way to fix this?

VBA Code:
Dim fName As String
Dim FPath As String
fName = "POS " & Format(Date - 8, "yyyymmdd") & "-" & Format(Date - 2, "yyyymmdd")
MsgBox fName

You can try this and see if does what you want.

Code:
fName = "POS " & Format(Date - (7 + Weekday(Date, vbSunday)), "yyyymmdd") & "-" & Format(Date - 2, "yyyymmdd")
