How to get the path of current worksheet in VBA?

Question

I wrote a macro as an add-in, and I need to get the path of the current worksheet on which it is being executed. How do I do this? How do I get the file path (just the directory)?

Answer 1

Use Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path for just the path itself (without the workbook name) or Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName for the path with the workbook name.

Answer 2

Always nice to have:

Dim myPath As String     
Dim folderPath As String 

folderPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path    
myPath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.FullName

Answer 3

If you want to get the path of the workbook from where the macro is being executed - use Application.ThisWorkbook.Path.
Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path can sometimes produce unexpected results (e.g. if your macro switches between multiple workbooks).

Answer 4

The quickest way

path = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
