Try something like:

filepath="D:\EXCEL TO EXPORT\"
Set yearVar=ActiveDocument.GetVariable("vYear")
Set monthVar=ActiveDocument.GetVariable("vMonth")
Set filename=yearVar&monthVar
....
XLDoc.SaveAs filePath & filename

You can define variables like:

vYear=YearField

vMonth=MonthField

And then use them in your macro. If you need help there too, try to share your macro code here.

Hi Roy,

Try to create a variable in macro itself instead of creating in qlikview and call this variable in your macro.

sub ( .... )

dim var1=XXXX

path: c://New Folder/var1

Hope it help.
