    Excel Names in column to text files names to folder

    Hello excel gurus,

    I have a spreadsheet with names in column A, I need those names converted to text file names in a folder on the C:\ Annual report.
    My excel VBA is only beginning to intermediate and this is beyond my skill set.
    I would appreciate any help

    Are the names in Column A workbook file names and you want these workbooks saved as text files?

    I want to just select names in column A and have VBA code use those names saved a text file names with .txt extension. The folder is already created on the c: drive as folder Annual Report. ( save to C:\Annual Report folder)

    Oh, sorry to miss understanding.. I'll try to modify this VBA.. if this is not like your wish.. I'm sorry again..

    First step : just highlights the name file on column A ( put the pointer on the cell contan the name file ) and then run this VBA

    In Folder C:\Annual Report\ Name1.txt, Name2.txt, Name3.txt

    I select the names in column A then VBA code uses names in column A then saves names in folder as text files on C: drive

    This will loop through Column A and save the workbook as .txt with the name found in column A.
