The Macro below is supposed to copy a a tab, open a dialog box prompting me to select a folder, and to save the new file with read only recommended and marked as final using the filename in cell I4. It mostly works, but when I select a folder, it always saves in that folder's parent folder. So if my directory is Customer>A>Autozone and I select Autozone, it saves in A. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is doing this and any help you can provide would be hugely appreciated.

Code:
Sub Adjust_and_Save()'
' Adjust_and_Save Macro
'






Dim ThisFile As String
InitialFileName = Range("I4").Value


ActiveSheet.Select
ActiveSheet.Copy




   Dim fldr As FileDialog
    Dim sPath As String
    Set fldr = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)


    With fldr
        .Title = "Select folder"
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        If .Show = -1 Then
            sPath = .SelectedItems(1)
        End If
    End With






    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=InitialFileName & ".xlsx", Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=True, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Final = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True






ActiveWorkbook.Close






 End Sub

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Seems like you are not adding the sPath when you are saving the file. Try changing the SaveAs part of the code to Filename:=sPath & "\" & InitialFileName & ".xlsx". Not sure if you need the slash or not.
