Hi :)
I am looking for assistance in VBA code to save 2 worksheets (out of 7) to a new excel file with a defined name and without the formulas. I am also then needing a pdf version of only the second worksheet (which will be the active worksheet when running the macro). If anyone can help me, that would be amazing. Thanks in advance :)

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Try this macro, changing the output xlsx and pdf file names and the sheet names listed in Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2") as required.

VBA Code:
Public Sub Save_2_Sheets()

    Dim xlsxFullName As String, PDFFullName As String
    Dim newWb As Workbook
    Dim sheetName As Variant
    
    xlsxFullName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\New workbook.xlsx"
    PDFFullName = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & ActiveSheet.Name & ".pdf"
    
    'Save active sheet as PDF
    
    ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDFFullName, _
        Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
    
    Set newWb = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)
    newWb.Worksheets(1).Name = "_"
    For Each sheetName In Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")
        ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(sheetName).Cells.Copy
        newWb.Worksheets.Add after:=newWb.Worksheets(newWb.Worksheets.Count)
        With newWb.Worksheets(newWb.Worksheets.Count)
            .Paste
            .UsedRange.Value = .UsedRange.Value
            .Name = sheetName
        End With
    Next
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    
    'Suppress warning for sheet deletion and for saving in case new workbook already exists
    
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
    newWb.Worksheets(1).Delete
    
    On Error Resume Next
    newWb.SaveAs xlsxFullName, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
    newWb.Close SaveChanges:=False
    If Err.Number = 0 Then
        MsgBox ActiveSheet.Name & " saved as " & PDFFullName & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
               "Values of 2 Sheets saved as " & xlsxFullName, vbInformation
    Else
        MsgBox ActiveSheet.Name & " saved as " & PDFFullName & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
               "But values of 2 Sheets not saved as xlsx", vbExclamation
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0
    
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    
End Sub
