multiple worksheets in a workbook, each saved on its own.

[Guest]

I need to take a workbook file with multiple worksheets and save these
individually, however the masterfile containes external links to other source
documents and I need to break the data links.

I've been using this code to copy the worksheets

Sub Make_New_Books()
Dim w As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each w In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
w.Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & w.Name
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Next w
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I've recorded a marco with the select all copy paste special values, however
I get a error when I add this code to this macro.

Any suggestions to this would be appreciated. I need to have the worksheet
copied as this contains print layouts etc and formatting that need to be
maintained in the copy.

Thanks in advance..

John

Hi John

Changed this macro for you
http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy6.htm

Sub Copy_All_Sheets_To_New_Workbook()
Dim WbMain As Workbook
Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim DateString As String
Dim FolderName As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False

DateString = Format(Now, "yy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss")
Set WbMain = ThisWorkbook
FolderName = WbMain.Path & "\" & Left(WbMain.Name, Len(WbMain.Name) - 4) _
& " " & DateString
MkDir FolderName

For Each sh In WbMain.Worksheets
If sh.Visible = -1 Then
sh.Copy
Set Wb = ActiveWorkbook
With Wb.Sheets(1).UsedRange
.Value = .Value
End With
Wb.SaveAs FolderName _
& "\" & Wb.Sheets(1).Name & ".xls"
Wb.Close False
End If
Next sh

MsgBox "Look in " & FolderName & " for the files"
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Hi Ron

Like the code, but still have the same problem.

In my master workbook, this contains a link to another Excel file ie
Sale_Feb05, When I copy the worksheet, it copies the external links also. I
need these links removed but the values to remain.

Thanks for the quick response

Use this then

With Wb.Sheets(1)
Cells.Copy
Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Cells(1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End With

Instead of

 

[Ron de Bruin]

With dots before cells

With Wb.Sheets(1)
.Cells.Copy
.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.Cells(1).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End With
