Copy columns to new workbook and save as csv - excel

Question

I'm trying to:
Copy data (columns A and B) from one workbook (data.xlsx).
Paste into a new workbook (as values).
Save as CSV with a filename taken from column A in a third workbook (URLs.xlsx).
Process to repeat, taking the same data (which is randomised every time it is pasted) from data.xlsx and pasted into a new CSV - there are 200 rows in URLs.xlsx and so we should end up with 200 files.
I've read lots of topics, here are two I found:
Excel VBA Copy a Range into a New Workbook

What I've tried
Copying code and replacing the relevant components from various different articles across the web. Some of them work, but when I add the missing bits, I run into errors I don't understand.

Answer 1

Well here is an example avoiding copy pasting in new workbooks:
Expected input like:
Data.xlsx range A1:B200 with RANDBETWEEN() function:
URLs.xlsx range A1:A200 with some URL like so:
Run this code (will take approximately 1 second on my machine, tested with timer):
Dim wbData As Workbook, WBurls As Workbook
Dim CSVFileDir As String, CSVVal As String
Dim A As Long, X As Long, Y As Long, Z As Long
Option Explicit
Sub Transfer2CSV()
Set wbData = Workbooks("data.xlsx") 'Make sure it is open upon running macro
Set WBurls = Workbooks("URLs.xlsx") 'Make sure it is open upon running macro
For X = 1 To 200 'Looping through the 200 rows of WBurls
CSVFileDir = "C:\YourDrive\" & WBurls.Sheets(1).Cells(X, 1).Value & ".csv"
CSVVal = ""
A = FreeFile
Open CSVFileDir For Output As #A
With wbData.Sheets(1).Range("A1:B200") ' or whichever range you using here
.Calculate 'Randomize your range again
For Y = 1 To 200 'or however many rows you have in column A and B.
For Z = 1 To 2
CSVVal = CSVVal & .Cells(Y, Z).Value & ","
Next Z
Print #A, Left(CSVVal, Len(CSVVal) - 2)
CSVVal = ""
Next Y
End With
Close #A
Next X
End Sub
Output:
With each file looking like:

This should work. Make sure your data and URLS workbooks are open.
Sub Macro1()
Dim wsData As Worksheet, wsUrl As Worksheet, wbNew as Workbook
Dim CSVDir as String, rngU As Range
Set wsData = Workbooks("data.xlsx").Worksheets(1)
Set wsUrl = Workbooks("URLs.xlsx").Worksheets(1)
Set rngU = wsUrl.Range("A1", wsUrl.Range("A" & wsUrl.Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
CSVDir = "C:\Users\thomas.mcerlean\Desktop\Work\" 'you gave this as your dir
Set wbNew = Workbooks.Add
For Each cell In rngU
wsData.Range("A1", wsData.Range("B" & wsData.Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy Destination:= wbNew.Worksheets(1).Range("A1")
wbNew.SaveAs Filename:= CSVDir & cell.Value & ".csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV
Next cell
wbNew.Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub
