Hi
this looks just like the code i need! Thank you! Could you give further information about how to use it? If i just copy paste it into a new vba module wont start. Do I need to do anthing specific?

Same question as above - I'm a novice to using this, how do I get started?

@agathe

I've stumbled across your solution for converting Mac Excel to CSV.
It's a problem I've had since changing from Excel 2011 to Office 365, and you solution feels like it's almost what I need.

But when I run it I get the "No files found" message.
I believe I've updated the code to point to the correct folder, and I've an .xls file in that folder.

Do you have any suggestions? I'm very much a novice with VBA and worry there is something obvious I'm missing.

Thanks in advance
