    Create Multiple File Folders

    Hi All,

    This may not exactly be an Excel question but it is related to Excel. A friend of mine told me it is possible to create multiple file folders (in your Windows Explorer) using a list from Excel.

    For instance, I have in Column A approximately 100 different names. Say I have a folder called "Blocks" on my C drive (we'll say C:\Blocks), is it in fact possible to use that Excel list to automatically generate (with names) the 100 folders?

    open a new workbook
    put this code in a new module
    (see where to put code at bottom of this post)
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    save the workbook to say C:\Blocks

    put your list in say column a
    select list
    then run macro from tools/macro/macros
    (it will be in list as "MakeFolders" )
    alternatively you could add it to your existing workbook and save that in C:\Blocks and run
