This kind of works. Its exporting the tabs and opening the file manager but I want to automatically name the new file "PPT3 Outputfile" . I want the user to be able to select where they are saving it too but I want to name it first. Any help is appreciated.

Code:
Sub newbook()



        Dim xlsxFileName As String
        Dim sFileSaveName As Variant
        xlsxFileName = "PPT3 Output.xlsx"

        sFileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=InitialName, fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx")
        
        Sheets(Array("Task", "Reference")).Select
        Sheets("Reference").Activate
        Sheets(Array("Task", "Reference")).Copy

        If sFileSaveName <> False Then
         ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs sFileSaveName
     
        End If

        ActiveWorkbook.Close


End Sub

Thanks for the help
 

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.
How about
VBA Code:
Sub gheyman()
   Dim xlsxFileName As String
   Dim sFileSaveFolder As String
   xlsxFileName = "PPT3 Output.xlsx"
  
   With Application.FileDialog(4)
      .AllowMultiSelect = False
      If .Show Then
         sFileSaveFolder = .SelectedItems(1)
      Else
         Exit Sub
      End If
   End With
  
   Sheets(Array("Task", "Reference")).Select
   Sheets("Reference").Activate
   Sheets(Array("Task", "Reference")).Copy
  
   ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs sFileSaveFolder & Application.PathSeparator & xlsxFileName, 51
  
  
   ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub
