    Export Folder and create a File name as you type in Excel based on column Data

    Hello everyone.

    I have an Invoice excel sheet (online version) and as I create new invoice, I then create a folder in my desktop with the file name as the invoice number where I store the supporting documents such as delivery note , client PO etc.

    Now I would like to automate this process such that when I type in the invoice details in excel, a folder should be created in my computer with the file name based on the invoice number.
    For example, if I were to book an invoice FZE 7844 a folder should be created in my computer with the file name FZE 7844.
    Please note it should be created as the invoice number is booked and not based on a list.


    I have attached two screenshots for clear understanding.

    1. Excel file - A sample of how I book the invoices.
    2. Screenshot - How I would like the folder to look. The file name was typed manually based on Column B & D & E as per the excel file. Please check advise if this is possible to automate this with a formula or VBA?

    Regards
    Kunal Naik

    Maybe something like this in the change event?
