Hi All,

Im hoping you can help with the following. I am attempting to use a reference in cell A4 to decide where to save the spreadsheet. I am getting an error on my first Elseif saying Compile error: Else without if

Thank you in advance

VBA Code:
Sub Save()

Dim FileName As String
Dim Folder1
Dim Folder2
Dim Folder3

FileName =  ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Range("A1")
Folder1 = "C:\Users\Flow\Desktop\Test\Monday\" 
Folder2 = "C:\Users\Flow\Desktop\Test\Tuesday\" 
Folder3 = "C:\Users\Flow\Desktop\Test\Wednesday\" 

If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Range("A4") = "Monday" Then ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Folder1 & FileName & ".xlsm", 52

ElseIf ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Range("A4") = "Tuesday" Then ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Folder2 & FileName & ".xlsm", 52

ElseIf ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Range("A4") = "Wednesday" Then ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Folder3 & FileName & ".xlsm", 52

Else: Call Manual_Save

End If

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
It should be like this
Excel Formula:
Sub Save()

Dim FileName As String
Dim Folder1
Dim Folder2
Dim Folder3

FileName = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Range("A1")
Folder1 = "C:\Users\Flow\Desktop\Test\Monday\"
Folder2 = "C:\Users\Flow\Desktop\Test\Tuesday\"
Folder3 = "C:\Users\Flow\Desktop\Test\Wednesday\"

If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Range("A4") = "Monday" Then
   ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Folder1 & FileName & ".xlsm", 52

ElseIf ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Range("A4") = "Tuesday" Then
   ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Folder2 & FileName & ".xlsm", 52

ElseIf ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").Range("A4") = "Wednesday" Then
   ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Folder3 & FileName & ".xlsm", 52

Else: Call Manual_Save

End If

End Sub
Although I would strongly suggest you change the name of the Sub, otherwise you could get problems elsewhere.
Never use VBA keywords as the names of variables or procedures.
