Hello all,

I have the following code, but when this exports to a separate csv file, it comes up with an error message "File format and extension of xxx don't match. The filecould be corrupted or unsafe."

Is there a way to stop this error message coming up, without going in and resaving it as a csv file:

VBA Code:
Dim wbI As Workbook, wbO As Workbook
    Dim wsI As Worksheet, wsO As Worksheet
    Set wbI = ThisWorkbook
    Set wsI = wbI.Sheets("Export")
    Set wbO = Workbooks.Add

    With wbO
        Set wsO = wbO.Sheets("Sheet1")
        wsI.Range("A1:aa700").Copy
        wsO.Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, _
        SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
    End With
    Dim IntialName As String
Dim sFileSaveName As Variant
IntialName = "Sample Output"
sFileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=InitialName, fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.csv), *.csv")
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
There is nothing in your code that saves the file.

VBA Code:
If sFileSaveName <> False Then
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs sFileSaveName
End If

End Sub

Apologies, missed the bottom lines off the code
