vba to copy certain sheet and make copy of it as a stand alone workbook

[ansvk1]

Hi there,
i am trying to create a workbook out of a specific sheet (the name and location changes every time- based on need) from a different workbook. And this is how far i got with my code that gets stuck at line 16

Sub Button1_Click()


    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim wbNew As Workbook, wbCurrent As Workbook
    Dim strFileName As String


    'Assign object variables
    Set wbCurrent = ActiveWorkbook
    Set ws = wbCurrent.ActiveSheet
    
    'Get desired file path from user
    strFileName = InputBox("Enter File Name: ", "Creating New File...")
    If strFileName <> "" Then
        'copy whole current sheet
        ws.Copy
        Set wbNew = ws
        wbNew.SaveAs wbCurrent.Path & "\" & strFileName
    End If
End Sub

any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks

Nearly there.

Sub Button1_Click()

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim wbNew As Workbook, wbCurrent As Workbook
    Dim strFileName As String




    'Assign object variables
    Set wbCurrent = ActiveWorkbook
    Set ws = wbCurrent.ActiveSheet
    
    'Get desired file path from user
    strFileName = InputBox("Enter File Name: ", "Creating New File...")
    If strFileName <> "" Then
        'copy whole current sheet
        ws.Copy
        myFileName = wbCurrent.Path & "\" & strFileName & ".xlsx"
        ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=myFileName, FileFormat:=xlWorkbookNormal
        
    End If
    


End Sub

thank, it works great!
could not figure out myfilename part....so close but so far

And just now i have realised this macro cannot be run in my workbook as it is a .xlsx file. any suggestions on how to be able to run this procedure from a different macro enabled workbook and specify the destination of the to be copied workbook and its specific sheet name to be copied from there?

 

[mrshl9898]

You can just save it to your personal workbook and run it anytime you like on the current book/sheet you have active.

and specify the destination of the to be copied workbook and its specific sheet name to be copied from there

Not too sure what you mean here.

uhm, this is for my whole team (5people), who will be needing this on a daily basis. Do i have to have all of them setup their personal workbook? or is there any easier way to have this worked out easily, i cannot change current workbook to .xlsm format?

 

[mrshl9898]

If it's just out of the one book then for sure, just save as .xlsm.

currently the macro saves the new file as xlsx only
