Hello,
I managed to get to the Save As window, and need to write to the " File name " the current date, how can I do that ?

Hi @mihai.godeanu ,

You can use the below formula

“Yourfilename”+”_”+datetime.now.tostring(“dd_MMM_yy”)

Hi @mihai.godeanu,

"yourFilePath" +“yourFileName_”+ Now.ToString(dd-MM-yyyy)
You can specify the format yourself.

Hi @mihai.godeanu

"Yourfilename”+”_”+now.tostring(“dd_MMM_yy”)+”.yourfileextension”

like if you are trying to save a excel file
then
“Test”+Now.ToString(“MMddyyyy”) + “.xlsx”

Thanks

Hi @mihai.godeanu ,

You can use the type into activity and first indicate the field where you have to pass the current date and then you can pass the above mentioned values for saving it as current date

Also it will be better if you first refer some uipath tutorials for beginners for getting a better understanding
