Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Try:
Code:
Sub SavePDF()
    ChDir "D:\test\"
    Sheets("Sheet2").ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="calculation" & Replace(Format(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd,h:mm AM/PM"), ":", ".") _
        , Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
End Sub

You can assign a short cut key to run the macro. Do the following:
-In the "View" tab in the top menu, click "Macros" at the far right.
-Click on "SavePDF" and click the "Options" button.
-Enter any letter such as the letter "s" in the box.
-Click "OK" and close the pop-up.
Now whenever you want to run the macro, hold down the CTRL key and press the letter "s" and the macro will run.
