How to Create Bulk Folders Using Excel List 2026 - Create Multiple Folders Using Excel

If you’ve ever had a long list of names in Excel and needed to create a separate folder for each one, you know how time-consuming it can be to do it manually. Hi, my name is Limon and in this video, I’ll show you a simple trick that lets you create multiple folders in bulk using an Excel list—and it only takes a few minutes to set up. We’ll start inside Excel by creating a quick formula that generates a folder-creation command for each name in your list. Then we’ll copy those commands into a small text file and convert it into a batch (.bat) file. Once you run that file, your computer will automatically create all the folders for you in seconds. I’ll walk you through the whole process step by step so it’s easy to follow, even if you’ve never used a batch file before. It’s a really handy little trick that can save a lot of time when you’re organising files for clients, projects, or large datasets. 📁
