Hi Everyone,

I have a code use to save it be PDF file and it works however I would like to change save xlsx or xls instead but it does not work. Can someone help me please?

The code works for PDF

VBA Code:
Sub PDFActiveSheet()
'for Excel 2010 and later
Dim wsA As Worksheet
Dim wbA As Workbook
Dim strTime As String
Dim strName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim strPathFile As String
Dim myFile As Variant
On Error GoTo errHandler

Set wbA = ActiveWorkbook
Set wsA = ActiveSheet
strTime = Format(Now(), "MMM DD")

'get active workbook folder, if saved
strPath = wbA.Path
If strPath = "" Then
  strPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
End If
strPath = strPath & "\"

'replace spaces and periods in sheet name
strName = Replace(wsA.Name, " ", " ")
strName = Replace(strName, ".", "_")

'create default name for savng file
strFile = strTime & " " & "Quotation of Meko Craft to " & ThisWorkbook.Sheets(2).Cells(10, 3) & ".pdf"
strPathFile = strPath & strFile

'use can enter name and
' select folder for file
myFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _
    (InitialFileName:=strPathFile, _
        fileFilter:="PDF Files (*.pdf), *.pdf", _
        Title:="Select Folder and FileName to save")

'export to PDF if a folder was selected
If myFile <> "False" Then
    wsA.ExportAsFixedFormat _
        Type:=xlTypePDF, _
        Filename:=myFile, _
        Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
        IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
        IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
        OpenAfterPublish:=False
    'confirmation message with file info
    MsgBox "PDF file has been created: " _
      & vbCrLf _
      & myFile
End If

exitHandler:
    Exit Sub
errHandler:
    MsgBox "Could not create PDF file"
    Resume exitHandler
End Sub

And here is the code I change to save Excel but it did not work.

VBA Code:
Sub ExcelActiveSheet()
'for Excel 2010 and later
Dim wsA As Worksheet
Dim wbA As Workbook
Dim strTime As String
Dim strName As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim strPathFile As String
Dim myFile As Variant
On Error GoTo errHandler

Set wbA = ActiveWorkbook
Set wsA = ActiveSheet
strTime = Format(Now(), "MMM DD")

'get active workbook folder, if saved
strPath = wbA.Path
If strPath = "" Then
  strPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
End If
strPath = strPath & "\"

'replace spaces and periods in sheet name
strName = Replace(wsA.Name, " ", " ")
strName = Replace(strName, ".", "_")

'create default name for savng file
strFile = strTime & " " & "Quotation of Meko Craft  " & ThisWorkbook.Sheets(2).Cells(10, 3) & ".xlsx"
strPathFile = strPath & strFile

'use can enter name and
' select folder for file
myFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename _
    (InitialFileName:=strPathFile, _
        fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx", _
        Title:="Select Folder and FileName to save")

'export to excel if a folder was selected
If myFile <> "False" Then
    wsA.ExportAsFixedFormat _
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs
    Filename:=myFile, _
    FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook,
    CreateBackup:=False
    'confirmation message with file info
    MsgBox "PDF file has been created: " _
      & vbCrLf _
      & myFile
End If

exitHandler:
    Exit Sub
errHandler:
    MsgBox "Could not create PDF file"
    Resume exitHandler
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
By the way, I would like to save the current sheet to be the new workbook that's why I tried to used this code.
