I have this code that I'm trying to get working to save my workbook to the location entered in cell G11.
It hangs on sPath As String =

saying "constant expression required"


Code:
Sub BackUpAnDSaveCountSheet()
  Dim savelocation As Range
  savelocation = Sheets("Data").Range("G11").Value
  Const sPath As String = savelocation
  Dim sFileName As String
  
  sFileName = VBA.Format(Now, "mmddyy_hhmmss") & ThisWorkbook.Name
  
  ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs sPath & sFileName
End Sub

Thanks for looking
