Could anyone help with VBA to save a copy of the workbook as xls with all tables converted to ranges and then connections deleted? My goal is to save as an independent xlsx doc with connections removed. I currently use a macro that creates a copy combining designated sheets, breaks links in it and saves as xls and although I get an error, it still works. I can't figure out how to tell it to also change all tables to ranges and then delete connections in that new book. Is that possible and does that sound like it would accomplish what I'm wanting to do?


Sub Save_Report()

Dim TheActiveWindow As Window

Dim TempWindow As Window

With ActiveWorkbook

Set TheActiveWindow = ActiveWindow

Set TempWindow = .NewWindow

.Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", “Sheet3”, “Sheet4”)).Copy

'TheActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Copy

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\me\Documents\documentname .xlsx" _

, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False



End With

With ActiveWorkbook

.Worksheets("Sheet1").ListObjects(1).Unlink

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

.Worksheets("Sheet2").ListObjects(1).Unlink

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

.Worksheets("Sheet3").ListObjects(1).Unlink

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

.Worksheets("Sheet4").ListObjects(1).Unlink

Application.DisplayAlerts = True

.Close True

End With



End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
To add to this question, when I record a macro for this it saves everything but there's no trace of removing connections. It saves as a working copy xlsm, then turns all tables into ranges and saves as xslx to two locations. While recording I'm removing the connections after converting tp ranges but when I go back and run it, the removal of connections isn't there and it's like it never happened in the code. Any ideas?
