Hi all
Creating a new workbook from the active sheet is not so easy anymore now we
have Excel 2007 with so many different file formats.
Below is a code example to copy the active sheet to a new workbook and save it.
This example is working in 97/2007.
If you run the code in Excel 2007 it will look at the FileFormat of the parent workbook and save the new file in that format.
Only if the parent workbook is an xlsm file and if there is no code in the new workbook it will save the new file as xlsx,
If the parent workbook is not an xlsx, xlsm, or xls then it will be saved as xlsb.
This are the main formats in Excel 2007 :
51 = xlOpenXMLWorkbook (without macro’s in 2007, xlsx)
52 = xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled (with or without macro’s in 2007, xlsm)
50 = xlExcel12 (Excel Binary Workbook in 2007 with or without macro’s, xlsb)
56 = xlExcel8 (97-2003 format in Excel 2007, xls)
If you always want to save in a certain format you can replace this part of the macro
Case 51: FileExtStr = “.xlsx”: FileFormatNum = 51
Case 52:
If .HasVBProject Then
FileExtStr = “.xlsm”: FileFormatNum = 52
Else
FileExtStr = “.xlsx”: FileFormatNum = 51
End If
Case 56: FileExtStr = “.xls”: FileFormatNum = 56
Case Else: FileExtStr = “.xlsb”: FileFormatNum = 50
End Select
With one of the one liners from this list
FileExtStr = “.xlsb”: FileFormatNum = 50
FileExtStr = “.xlsx”: FileFormatNum = 51
FileExtStr = “.xlsm”: FileFormatNum = 52
FileExtStr = “.xls”: FileFormatNum = 56
Or maye you want to save the one sheet workbook to csv, txt ot prn.
(you can use this also if you run it in 97-2003)
FileExtStr = “.csv”: FileFormatNum = 6
FileExtStr = “.txt”: FileFormatNum = -4158
FileExtStr = “.prn”: FileFormatNum = 36
‘Working in Excel 97-2007
Dim FileExtStr As String
Dim FileFormatNum As Long
Dim Sourcewb As Workbook
Dim Destwb As Workbook
Dim TempFilePath As String
Dim TempFileName As String
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
Set Sourcewb = ActiveWorkbook
‘Copy the sheet to a new workbook
ActiveSheet.Copy
Set Destwb = ActiveWorkbook
‘Determine the Excel version and file extension/format
With Destwb
If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
‘You use Excel 97-2003
FileExtStr = “.xls”: FileFormatNum = -4143
Else
‘You use Excel 2007
‘We exit the sub when your answer is NO in the security dialog that you only
‘see when you copy a sheet from a xlsm file with macro’s disabled.
If Sourcewb.Name = .Name Then
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
MsgBox “Your answer is NO in the security dialog”
Exit Sub
Else
Select Case Sourcewb.FileFormat
Case 51: FileExtStr = “.xlsx”: FileFormatNum = 51
Case 52:
If .HasVBProject Then
FileExtStr = “.xlsm”: FileFormatNum = 52
Else
FileExtStr = “.xlsx”: FileFormatNum = 51
End If
Case 56: FileExtStr = “.xls”: FileFormatNum = 56
Case Else: FileExtStr = “.xlsb”: FileFormatNum = 50
End Select
End If
End If
End With
‘ ‘Change all cells in the worksheet to values if you want
‘ With Destwb.Sheets(1).UsedRange
‘ .Cells.Copy
‘ .Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
‘ .Cells(1).Select
‘ End With
‘ Application.CutCopyMode = False
‘Save the new workbook and close it
TempFilePath = Application.DefaultFilePath & “”
TempFileName = “Part of “ & Sourcewb.Name & ” “ & Format(Now, “dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss”)
With Destwb
.SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
.Close SaveChanges:=False
End With
MsgBox “You can find the new file in “ & Application.DefaultFilePath
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub
Also if you use code like GetSaveAsFilename then you must add a lot of code.
