Welcome. I have a workbook consisting of several sheets. I want to copy all sheets to a new workbook ignoring only one sheet Sheet1, and save the new workbook in the same default path in xlsx format.

If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Hi sofas. You can trial this code. HTH. Dave
VBA Code:
Sub test()
Dim Newbook As Object, SourceWorkbook As Object
Dim cnt As Integer, PageCollect As Collection, tempworksheet As Worksheet
Set SourceWorkbook = ThisWorkbook
Set PageCollect = New Collection

On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

'add sheets to collection
For Each tempworksheet In SourceWorkbook.Worksheets
If SourceWorkbook.Sheets(tempworksheet.Name).Name <> "Sheet1" Then
PageCollect.Add SourceWorkbook.Sheets(tempworksheet.Name)
End If
Next tempworksheet

'add new wb. Transfer sheets. Save to same path with same name in .xlsx format
Set Newbook = Workbooks.Add
With Newbook
For cnt = 1 To PageCollect.Count
PageCollect(cnt).Copy After:=Newbook.Sheets(Newbook.Sheets.Count)
Next cnt
.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Left(ThisWorkbook.Name, _
                                      Len(ThisWorkbook.Name) - 5) & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=51
.Close
End With

ErrHandler:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
On Error GoTo 0
MsgBox "Error"
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Set Newbook = Nothing
Set SourceWorkbook = Nothing
End Sub

Thank you. This is what is really needed.

Or
Code:
Sub Save_As_Non_Macro()
Dim sh As Worksheet, shArr
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If sh.Name <> "Sheet1" Then shArr = shArr & "|" & sh.Name
Next sh
shArr = Split(Mid(shArr, 2), "|")
Sheets(shArr).Copy
    With ActiveWorkbook
            Application.DisplayAlerts = False
                .SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Left(ThisWorkbook.Name, InStrRev(ThisWorkbook.Name, ".") - 1) & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=51
            Application.DisplayAlerts = True
        .Close
    End With
End Sub

Solution
Thank you all for these wonderful suggestions. I accidentally found another code that I wanted to share with you

VBA Code:
Sub test()
    Dim Wb As Workbook, Ws As Worksheet
    Dim F As Workbook, filePath As String, Cpt()
    filePath = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path: Set Sh = Sheets'("Sheet1")
 
    With Application
   .ScreenUpdating = False
   .DisplayAlerts = False
    
    Set Wb = ActiveWorkbook:    Set F = Workbooks.Add
    
    For Each Ws In Wb.Worksheets
    If Ws.Name <> Sh.Name Then
        n = n + 1
        ReDim Preserve Cpt(1 To n)
                 Cpt(n) = Ws.Name
        End If
    Next Ws
Wb.Sheets(Cpt).Copy After:=F.Sheets(F.Sheets.Count)
 On Error Resume Next: F.Sheets(1).Delete: On Error GoTo 0
 Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=filePath & "\" & Wb.Name & ".xlsx"
 F.Close

  .ScreenUpdating = True
  .DisplayAlerts = True
 End With
 
End Sub

Welcome. jolivanes

I tried your code, but unfortunately it shows an error message

what is the message and which line is marked?
What have you changed for the code to work on your workbook?
It works on a trial file here. Do you have a sheet named "Sheet1"

really sorry. My fault: Yes, it works very well. Short and nice code. 👏👏👏👏

@jolivanes care to share how your code works? I really don't understand what you have done there? It works great and only the sheets specified are transferred so I assume that the code modifies the existing wb and then saves it rather than creating a new wb and transferring the sheets... but I just don't see it in the code? I need some learning. Dave
