The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to create SaveAs and Break Links Macro

Asked by clarabe in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: , ,

Hello

I would like to create a macro that would allow the workbook user to save the file depending on the name created in cell "A1"

The user would also be able to choose the folder the file was saved in.

Alternatively it would be better if the pathway was included in the code and could be updated from the work sheet. For example if the worksheet stated it was July - the pathway would update to save in the July folder.

The code would display a message stating that the file name has been successfully saved and the pathway.

The code would also break all the links during the saving process.

This is as far as I have got

At the moment the code saves the file twice, the message does not include the filename and the break link code has the error 438

I would appreciate it if you could provide any advice or different code
Many thanks Cb

Call BreakLinks
ThisFile = Range("A1").Value 
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show 'Desktop' 
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisFile 
MsgBox "You have saved" & FileName 
 
End Sub 
 
Private Sub BreakLinks() 
Dim Links As Variant 
Dim i As Integer 
 
With ActiveWorkbook 
Links = .LinkSources(xlExcelLinks) 
If Not IsEmpty(Links) Then 
For i = 1 To UBound(Links) 
.BreakLink Links(i), xlLinkTypeExcelLinks 
Next i 
End If
