Saving an Excel sheet in a current directory with VBA

Saving an Excel sheet in a current directory with VBA

You can use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to save an Excel sheet in the current directory. Here's a simple example:

Sub SaveSheet() Dim CurrentPath As String Dim FileName As String ' Get the current directory path CurrentPath = ThisWorkbook.Path ' Specify the file name (change it as needed) FileName = "MySheet.xlsx" ' Save the active sheet in the current directory ThisWorkbook.SaveAs CurrentPath & "\" & FileName End Sub

In this VBA script:

  • We use the ThisWorkbook.Path property to get the current directory path where the Excel workbook is located.
  • We specify the file name as "MySheet.xlsx" (you can change it to any desired file name).
  • We use the SaveAs method to save the active sheet in the current directory with the specified file name.

You can place this code in a module in your Excel workbook and then run the SaveSheet subroutine to save the active sheet in the current directory. Make sure to save your Excel file with macro-enabled format (.xlsm) if prompted.
