  You have two methods for extracting BOMs to Excel. One is the in built function of SolidWorks, and the second is the manual way to creating exactly what you want in an Excel sheet.
  
  The attached Macro does performs both.
  
  Make sure you check that your References... are setup to your version of SolidWorks & Excel (Current example is SW2008 & Excel 2007):
  
  You may use this macro however you wish, I only ask you leave the commented credits within the macro.
  
  If you wish to save each BOM under the name of a value from the custom properties, such as $PRPSHEET:{Description}, you would modify the code to get the bomPath as follows:
  
  Code:
  Dim swApp               As SldWorks.SldWorks
  Dim swModel             As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
  Dim valOut              As String
  Dim resolvedValOut      As String
  Dim config As SldWorks.Configuration
  Dim cpm As SldWorks.CustomPropertyManager
  
  Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
  Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
  
  Set cpm = swModel.Extension.CustomPropertyManager("")
  If Not cpm Is Nothing Then
  cpm.Get2 "description", valOut, resolvedValOut
  End If
  
  
  Now with resolvedValOut you may use that as the filename in any way you wish.
