Hello everyone, can anyone help to change this VBA code so that it saves in xlsx format instead of PDF.
Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards Klaus W


VBA Code:
Sub Gem_og_Send_Klik()

'Varriables
Dim SaveRng As Range
Dim pdfname As String
Dim path As String

'Setting range to be saved
Set SaveRng = Range("A1:j42")

'path

    path = Range("S9")
    Filename = Range("K9")
    
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat _
    Type:=xlTypePDF, _
    Filename:=path & Filename & ".pdf", _
    OpenAfterPublish:=False, _
    IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
    IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
    Quality:=xlQualityStandard

Find_and_Open_Product_Workbook
   
   
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
If your turn on your Macro Recorder, and do a "SaveAs", and choose the "xlsx" option, you will see the code that you need. However, you would need to do that in another workbook, as you cannot save any file that contains VBA/Macros to an "xlsx" file, which is a VBA/Macro free file, by definition. Files with VBA code would need to be saved with something like an "xlsm" or "xlsb" extension.

Try the below (assuming you have a valid filepath in S9 ending with a path separator)

VBA Code:
Sub Gem_og_Send_Klik2()

    'Varriables
    Dim Filename  As String
    Dim path As String

    'Setting range to be saved
    'Set SaveRng = Range("A1:j42")

    'path

    path = Range("S9")
    Filename = Range("K9")
    
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False

    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs path & Filename & ".xlsx", 51

    Application.DisplayAlerts = True

    Find_and_Open_Product_Workbook
   
   
End Sub

Hi MARK858 it copies the file, but what I would like it to do is to copy the sheet based on the name that is in cell A3. And preferably range A1:J42.

Hi MARK858 it copies the file
It saves the file with a new name and file format, not copy the file
sheet based on the name that is in cell A3
The name in your original code was in K9, change that to A3

You can't save a sheet or a range, you can only save a workbook.
If you want a separate copy then you need to save your Xlsm/Xlsb first then when you run the macro it will create a separate XLSX file or copy the sheet or range to a new workbook and save that workbook (again not a sheet or a range)
