Create Folder Structure in a Destination Folder from Cell Values...

This tool lets you quickly create a full folder structure using the values in your selected Excel cells.
It works like this:
  • Select the cells that contain the folder names or folder\subfolder paths
  • Start this tool
  • Pick a destination folder
  • The tool creates a new folder for each value in your selection
    The tool also supports subfolders by using backslashes in the cell values.
    For example, if a cell contains "Projects\2025\Q1", it will create the full nested path on your selected drive, such as:
    C:\Documents\Projects\2025\Q1
    This is useful when you need to:
  • Create a folder hierarchy from a list in Excel
  • Mirror or prepare a structured directory setup
  • Automate folder creation for projects, clients, events, or teams
    Some characters cannot be used in folder names. These characters are automatically handled and replaced with an underscore (_).
    Tip: Enter only folder names or paths like folder\subfolder. Do not include a drive letter, such as C:\. The tool will automatically create the folders in the location you select.
