Open advanced editor in new name field and use

"CH"+ currentfile.Name

I cannot delete the .xls extension.

File name: S355900.xls_CH17.11.2024

@ozgur.yukcan

its not good to use dot in filename…so please try below

currentfile.Name.Split("."c)(0) + "_CH_" + Now.ToString("dd_MM_yyyy") + currentfile.Extension

cheers
