Need help to rename multiple excel files

c20091929
7 - Meteor

Hi there, 

 

I hope you are well. 

I am trying to solve the below problem without luck. 

 

I will receive a few excel files every day. I want to rename those excel files by using the Name (B3) and the Date (B4) in the file. 

 

I.e., Sample 1 rename to A_2023 03 14

 

If possible, I would like to sideload another table that can Vlookup A to another name (Apple).

 

I tried to use the directory tool, but it seems it didn't work.

 

Thanks, and please help

Just a general suggestion, you can use the Blob tools to make a copy of the original file then name the new file using the Name and Date in the file.
