Wow, thanks so much - That helped a great deal.

I wish I knew more about the actual script, I was attemping to record it
first then having a look at the script but I just got confused.

On the same worksheet can I create a button for the user to press that will
go on the toolbar so they dont have to go to the developer tab?

Also though I dont think this will be an issue in this case can you autofill
a column based on the header name ie autofill column called "Line No".

Thanks again,

Laura

Hi Laura

You can try out the below macro. If you are new to macros..

--Set the Security level to low/medium in (Tools|Macro|Security).
--From workbook launch VBE using short-key Alt+F11.
--From menu 'Insert' a module and paste the below code.
--Get back to Workbook.
--Run macro from Tools|Macro|Run selected macro()


Sub Macro()

Dim strFile As String, lngLastRow As Long

lngLastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="*", _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, SearchOrder:=xlRows).Row

Range("K2") = 1
Range("K2:K" & lngLastRow).DataSeries Rowcol:=xlColumns, _
Type:=xlLinear, Date:=xlDay, Step:=1, Stop:=lngLastRow, Trend:=False

strFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("", "Text Files (*.csv), *.csv")

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strFile, FileFormat:=xlCSVMSDOS
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

Hi,

I am trying to create a macro that will complete the following.

Autofill column K with sequential numbers starting from cell K2 with 1 to
however many rows of data there are.

Then for the file to automatically save as a CSV (Comma Deliminated) format
so that the user just has to typr the name of the file in.


I am not a competent using visual script however should be abl to navigate
myself to the right place.

Thanks
Laura
