    moving data in excel to different files and save with incremental date.

    Hi all!
    I have included a code which is not currently running because I know I am missing peieces/don't even know if what I have so far is correct.
    I have a folder with many files. I want my program to open each and if the first cell in column c is 1 then i want it to
    select all the cells until the value in c is 0 and move them to the end of the previous file. Then I want it to go to the next file and do the same etc. The files are arranged by date so
    I am struggling trying to figure that part out too. The files names all start with RD followed by the year,month, and date. For example, the file with the name "RD130522" is for the day may 22 2013. So I am trying to assign the characters to variables such as y for year and m for month etc. But I am not sure how to do this (As apparent in my code).

    If you have any suggestions please let me know! Much appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Code:
    Sub Splitbook()
    
    Dim strFolder As String, strFile As String
    Dim MyData As String, strData() As String
    Dim FinalArray() As String
    
    Dim nRow As Long
    Dim nStart As Long
    Dim nEnd As Long
    Dim newend As Long
    Dim totalrows As Double
     
    strFolder = "C:\Users\kdunnigan\Documents\Lyo\Sample Log\"
    strFile = Dir(strFolder & "*.xlm")
     
    
     Dim Y As Double  'year
     Dim M As Double  'month
     Dim D As Double  'day
     
     
     Y = "13"   'value for first file in sample log folder
     M = "04"   'value for first file in sample log folder
     D = "24"   'value for first file in sample log folder
    Do While strFile <> ""
        Open strFolder & strFile For Binary As #1
        
        Dim name As String
        name = "RD" & Y & M & D
        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs ("name" & "*.xlm")   'saves file
        
        totalrows = Range("F:F").Count
        If Range("C1").Value = 1 Then               
                For nRow = 1 To totalrows
                If Range("D" & nRow).Value = 0 Then
                    nEnd = nRow - 1
                  Exit For
                  End If
                  Next nRow
        
    If M = 12 And D = 1 Then
            Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M-1&30"
    ElseIf M = 11 And D = 1 Then
            Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M-1&31"
    ElseIf M = 10 And D = 1 Then
        Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M-1&30"
    ElseIf M = 9 And D = 1 Then
        Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M-1&31"
    ElseIf M = 8 And D = 1 Then
        Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M-1&31"
    ElseIf M = 7 And D = 1 Then
        Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M-1&30"
    ElseIf M = 6 And D = 1 Then
        Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M-1&31"
    ElseIf M = 5 And D = 1 Then

    ElseIf M = 3 And D = 1 Then
        Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M-1&28"
    ElseIf M = 2 And D = 1 Then
        Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M-1&31"
    ElseIf M = 1 And D = 1 Then
        Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y-1&12&31"
    Else
        Sheets("Data").Range("A1" & ":L" & nEnd).Move "C:\Users\Sample\RD&Y&M&D-1"
    End If
    End If
        
    strFile = Dir
            
        Loop
     
    
    End Sub

    Re: moving data in excel to different files and save with incremental date.

    So what is step 1? Get a list of all the files in your directory and put them in date order?

    They are already in date order so for example the first 4 files in the folder might be
    RD130510
    RD130511
    RD130512
    RD130513

    The first step is opening file, if the first value in column c is not 0 then it needs to select all the rows until column c does equal 0 and then move them into the previous days file (after last row) and then save and go to next file and do the same.

    "The first step is opening file..."

    Which file? RD130510 I assume?

    "...select all the rows until column c does equal 0 and then move them into the previous days file (after last row)..."

    At that point there IS no previous day's file, is there?

    Be as specific as possible, please, so we can help!
