Saves Individual Worksheets as Workbooks in destination folder

This code takes, on average, 6 minutes to fully run with the workbook I am using. The workbook currently has 148 worksheets and will grow consistently with time.



I am curious if there is a way to edit the code from doing the task one worksheet at a time; and, instead complete the task all in one moment. In my mind, the code would run for a much shorter time and then populate all the worksheets as separate workbooks in the file destination at the same time. The worksheets would also not "pop-up" before saving themselves in the destination folder. Much like stopping screen updating and automatic calculations making a world of difference - except that did not work with this code.



Sub SaveFilesInFolder()
'
'Macro for saving each worksheet as a workbook in a destination folder
'

'
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim wb As Workbook

For Each sh In Worksheets
SheetName = sh.Name
sh.Copy

With ActiveWorkbook
.SaveAs FileName:="FolderDestination" & SheetName
.Close SaveChanges:=True
End With

Next sh

End Sub


Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • You declare wb but do not use it. Perhaps this provides a clue.

  • Just an aside question. Why on earth would anyone think it is a good idea to make a 148sheet workbook?

What you're looking for is to turn off screenupdating, turn off alerts and auto-save and close.



    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Save
ThisWorkbook.Close False


So, like this -



Option Explicit

Sub SplitSheetsToBooks()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Const PATH_TO As String = "C:TEMP"
Const EXCEL_EXTENTION As String = ".xlsx"

Dim index As Long
Dim numberOfSheets As Long
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
numberOfSheets = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count

For index = 1 To numberOfSheets
Set targetSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(index)
targetSheet.Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs PATH_TO & targetSheet.Name & EXCEL_EXTENTION
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

  • The above code works exactly how I imagined; however, there is an issue I cannot figure out. The files do not follow the PATH_TO, they instead save to my desktop with the filename "TestSheet1". I have no idea why and I can't see anything in the code that would be causing this.
