Use VBA Macro to Save each Excel Worksheet as Separate Workbook

Question

Hi I am trying to use this code to save each sheet of Excel to a new workbook. However, it is saving the entire workbook to the new filename

Dim path As String
Dim dt As String
dt = Now()
path = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").specialfolders("Desktop") & "\Calendars " & Replace(Replace(dt, ":", "."), "/", ".")
MkDir path
Call Shell("explorer.exe" & " " & path, vbNormalFocus)

Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets 'SetVersions
    If ws.name <> "How-To" And ws.name <> "Actg_Prd" Then
        ws.SaveAs path & ws.name, xlsx
    End If
Next ws

What is the quick fix?

Answer 1

Keeping the worksheet in the existing workbook and creating a new workbook with a copy

Dim path As String
Dim dt As String
dt = Now()
path = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").specialfolders("Desktop") & "\Calendars " & Replace(Replace(dt, ":", "."), "/", ".")
MkDir path
Call Shell("explorer.exe" & " " & path, vbNormalFocus)

Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets 'SetVersions
    If ws.Name <> "How-To" And ws.Name <> "Actg_Prd" Then
        Dim wb As Workbook
        Set wb = ws.Application.Workbooks.Add
        ws.Copy Before:=wb.Sheets(1)
        wb.SaveAs path & ws.Name, Excel.XlFileFormat.xlOpenXMLWorkbook
        Set wb = Nothing
    End If
Next ws
