Assign Workbook Object to a Variable. In VBA, you can assign an object to a variable, and then use the variable to refer to that object. For example, in the below code, I use VBA to add a new workbook and then assign that workbook to the variable wb. To do this, I need to use the SET statement.
-->Saves changes to the workbook in a different file.

Office Add-ins have a small footprint compared to VSTO Add-ins and solutions, and you can build them by using almost any web programming technology, such as HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, and XML.
Syntax
expression.SaveAs (FileName, FileFormat, Password, WriteResPassword, ReadOnlyRecommended, CreateBackup, AccessMode, ConflictResolution, AddToMru, TextCodepage, TextVisualLayout, Local)
expression A variable that represents a Workbook object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| FileName | Optional | Variant | A string that indicates the name of the file to be saved. You can include a full path; if you don't, Microsoft Excel saves the file in the current folder. |
| FileFormat | Optional | Variant | The file format to use when you save the file. For a list of valid choices, see the XlFileFormat enumeration. For an existing file, the default format is the last file format specified; for a new file, the default is the format of the version of Excel being used. |
| Password | Optional | Variant | A case-sensitive string (no more than 15 characters) that indicates the protection password to be given to the file. |
| WriteResPassword | Optional | Variant | A string that indicates the write-reservation password for this file. If a file is saved with the password and the password isn't supplied when the file is opened, the file is opened as read-only. |
| ReadOnlyRecommended | Optional | Variant | True to display a message when the file is opened, recommending that the file be opened as read-only. |
| CreateBackup | Optional | Variant | True to create a backup file. |
| AccessMode | Optional | XlSaveAsAccessMode | The access mode for the workbook. |
| ConflictResolution | Optional | XlSaveConflictResolution | An XlSaveConflictResolution value that determines how the method resolves a conflict while saving the workbook. If set to xlUserResolution, the conflict-resolution dialog box is displayed. If set to xlLocalSessionChanges, the local user's changes are automatically accepted. If set to xlOtherSessionChanges, the changes from other sessions are automatically accepted instead of the local user's changes. If this argument is omitted, the conflict-resolution dialog box is displayed. |
| AddToMru | Optional | Variant | True to add this workbook to the list of recently used files. The default value is False. |
| TextCodepage | Optional | Variant | Ignored for all languages in Microsoft Excel. NOTE: When Excel saves a workbook to one of the CSV or text formats, which are specified by using the FileFormat parameter, it uses the code page that corresponds to the language for the system locale in use on the current computer. This system setting is available in the Control Panel > Region and Language > Location tab under Current location. |
| TextVisualLayout | Optional | Variant | Ignored for all languages in Microsoft Excel. NOTE: When Excel saves a workbook to one of the CSV or text formats, which are specified by using the FileFormat parameter, it saves these formats in logical layout. If left-to-right (LTR) text is embedded within right-to-left (RTL) text in the file, or vice versa, logical layout saves the contents of the file in the correct reading order for all languages in the file without regard to direction. When an application opens the file, each run of LTR or RTL characters are rendered in the correct direction according to the character value ranges within the code page (unless an application that is designed to display the exact memory layout of the file, such as a debugger or editor, is used to open the file). |
| Local | Optional | Variant | True saves files against the language of Microsoft Excel (including control panel settings). False (default) saves files against the language of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) (which is typically US English unless the VBA project where Workbooks.Open is run from is an old internationalized XL5/95 VBA project). |
Remarks
Use strong passwords that combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements.
- Strong password: Y6dh!et5
- Weak password: House27
Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.
Example
This example creates a new workbook, prompts the user for a file name, and then saves the workbook.

In Excel 2010 and later, you can export a sheet, or a group of sheets, as a PDF file. This tutorial shows sample code for doing this.
Export Active Sheet as PDF File
The following macro code will export the active sheet (or sheets) in PDF format. Copy the code to a regular code module, then select the sheet(s) you want to export, and run the macro.
See the section further down, for details on how the macro works.
NOTE: There are two additional macros below:
- Create PDF file with name from worksheet cells - automatically overwrites existing file, if any
- Create PDF file with name from worksheet cells - check for existing file, prompt to overwrite or choose different name

The Export As PDF Code
Copy the code to a regular code module, then select the sheet(s) you want to export, and run the macro.
How The Macro Works
Before you run the macro, select the sheet(s) that you want to export to the PDF file.
When the macro starts, it sets variables for the active sheet, and the active workbook. Those will be used to set the default file name and folder.
A time stamp will be added to the default name, in the format yyyymmdd_hhmm.
In the format string shown below, a backslash is entered before the underscore, to indicate it is a literal character. Otherwise, Excel would interpret the underscore as the spacing character that is used in Excel number formatting. Download fix it utilities.
Next, the macro gets the default path for saving the PDF file. If the active workbook has been saved, its path is used. If the active workbook has not been saved, Excel's default save folder is used.
The name of the active sheet is cleaned up -- spaces are removed, and periods are replaced with underscores.
The file path, revised sheet name, and the '.pdf' extension are combined.
The Save As dialog box opens, with the current folder selected, or the default save folder. The folder is filtered, to show only the PDF files that it contains.
At the top of the Save As window, the customized title is shown, 'Select Folder and FileName to save'
The default file name is filled in, and you can overwrite it, to save the file with a different name. You can also select another folder --just browse to a different location.
Then, click the Save button, or click Cancel, if you change your mind.
- If you click Cancel, the value of myFile is 'False', and nothing more happens -- the macro ends.
- If you click Save, the PDF file is created.
Then, if the file was created, the macro shows a confirmation message with the file path and name.
Click the OK button to close the message box.
Macro 2 - No Prompt
The previous macro creates a default name with a time stamp, based on the active sheet name. It prompts you to select a folder for the saved PDF file, and you can change the default name, if you prefer something different.
In the macro below, the default name is based on the values in cells A1, A2 and A3 on the active sheet. The PDF file is automatically saved in the current folder -- you are not prompted to choose a folder, and cannot change the default name.
Macro 3 - No Prompt - File Check
In the macro below, the default name is based on the values in cells A1, A2 and A3 on the active sheet. The PDF file is automatically saved in the current folder, with no prompts.
However, if a file with that name already exists in the current folder, a message asks if you want to overwrite the file. Click Yes or No in the message box.
- Yes - the new file overwrites the old file
- No - you are prompted to choose a folder, and/or enter a different file name.
NOTE: Be sure to copy the bFileExists Function too, below the main macro
