Issue with recorded macro in Excel

Hi, I have macros which are stored in Personal.xlsb

I recently created a new one using "Record Macro".

When I run the macro it errors. The reason is that in several steps, it refers to a filename specifically (and the file being used is a different name)

How do I change the code so that it will work with any file?

[/CODE]

That code doesn't include a file name but does include a sheet name. If you want it to work on whatever sheet is active currently, just replace ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Transaction_Export_16.11.2021_0") with Activesheet

Administrative Note:

Welcome to the forum.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between [code]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/code] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

(Note: this change is not optional. No help to be offered until this moderation request has been fulfilled.)

There are two ways to add code tags. One is to select the code part of the text so it is highlighted, then press the "#" button in the edit controls. The other is to simply type in the tags:

Why use code tags? Code tags:

1. Are required by rules (see rule #2)
2. Preserve spacing used to show code structure (otherwise leading spaces and repeated spaces are removed)
3. Add scroll bars to navigate code with long lines or a lot of lines
