Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
Dear All,

I am able to use the below codes to save the file.
code/
Dim Myfolder As String
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.InitialFileName = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\"
.Title = "Select a folder..."
.Show
Myfolder = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
End With

However, the file is saving one step up of the folder.
Please help.
Regards,
M

The code you provides allows you to return the folder path in the varible "MyFolder", but it does not actually save a file.

You need to use the "SaveAs" function to save the file.

The following code uses your existing code and adds the saveas function.

Code:
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
    Dim FName As String
    Dim MyFolder As String
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        .InitialFileName = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\"
        .Title = "Select a folder..."
        .Show
        MyFolder = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
    End With
  
    FName = MyFolder & ThisWorkbook.Name
    ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FName
End Sub

Application.GetSaveAsFileName will do that nicely.
Code:
Sub triall()
   Dim pathToFolder As String, uiFilePath As String
   
   uiFilePath = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
   If uiFilePath = "False" Then Exit Sub: Rem canceled
   
   pathToFolder = Left(uiFilePath, InStrRev(uiFilePath, Application.PathSeparator))
   
   ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs uiFilePath
End Sub
