Creating a new workbook and copying worksheets over - excel

Question

The problem in question centers around one workbook which contains all of my data and breakdowns spread across a ton of worksheets. I'm trying to get macros set up to copy select sheets to a new workbook. I think my biggest problem is getting the coding right for the destination workbook since the name includes a date string that changes each day. The code that I've got so far to just create the new workbook and close it is:
Sub NewReport()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
MyDate = Date
Dim dateStr As String
dateStr = Format(MyDate, "MM-DD-YY")
Set W = Application.Workbooks.Add
W.SaveAs Filename:="N:\PAR\" & "New Report Name" & " " & dateStr, FileFormat:=51
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close True
End Sub
This works and does what I want in regards to creating the new document, naming it the way it should be named, and at the end closing it. What I need help with is that middle portion for copying specific sheets from the original workbook to this new one. What I was thinking was along the lines of:
With Workbooks("Original Workbook.xlsm")
.Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")).Copy_ Before:=Workbooks("destination.xls").Sheet1
Or at least some type of array to get exactly what I want to copy over. The biggest sticking point is getting the destination workbook path name correct. Any advice regarding individual pieces of this little project or on the whole is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I also need to point out that the new workbook being generated needs to be just plain old excel format (.xlsx). No macros, no security warning for automatic updating links or enabling macros, zip. Just a plain book of the sheets I tell it to put there.

Answer 1

Ok. I finally got it working now. Sheet names are carried over (otherwise I would have to go behind and rename them); it saves one copy to be sent and one copy to our archive folder; and the new workbooks don't get any popup about enabling macros or updating links. The code I finally settled on (which could probably be trimmed a little) is:
Sub Report()
Dim Wb1 As Workbook
Dim dateStr As String
Dim myDate As Date
Dim Links As Variant
Dim i As Integer
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.DisplayAlerts = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
Set Wb1 = ActiveWorkbook
myDate = Date
dateStr = Format(myDate, "MM-DD-YYYY")
Wb1.Sheets(Array("Sheet1Name", "Sheet2Name", "etc."))Copy
With ActiveWorkbook
Links = .LinkSources(xlExcelLinks)
If Not IsEmpty(Links) Then
For i = 1 To UBound(Links)
.BreakLink Links(i), xlLinkTypeExcelLinks
Next i
End If
End With
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="N:\" & "Report Name" & " " & dateStr, FileFormat:=51
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="N:\Report Archive\" & "Report Name" & " " & dateStr, FileFormat:=51
ActiveWorkbook.Close
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.DisplayAlerts = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub
Hope that'll help someone else with the same issue!

Answer 2

Your copy line should be
Workbooks("Original Workbook.xlsm").Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")).Copy _
Before:=W.Sheets(1)

Answer 3

You can make your code fully variable rather than harcoding "Orginal Workbook.xlsm" and the Sheet1 and Sheet2 names
If you use two Workbook variables then you can set the ActiveWorbook (ie the one currently selected in Excel) as the workbook to be copied (alternatively you can set it to a closed workbook, existing open named workbook, or the workbook that contains the code).
With a standard
Application.Workbooks.Add
you will get a new workbook with the number of sheets installed as per your default option (normnally 3 sheets)
By specifying
Application.Workbooks.Add(1)
a new workbook is created with only one sheet
And note I disabled macros by setting EnableEvents to False but it would be unusual to have application events running when creating workbooks
Then when copying the sheet use
Sheets(Array(Wb1.Sheets(1).Name, Wb1.Sheets(2).Name)).Copy
'rather than
Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")).Copy
to avoid hardcoding the sheet names to be copied. This code will copy the two leftmoast sheets irrespective of naming
Lastly the initial single sheet is removed leaving you with a new file with only the two copied sheets inside
Sub NewReport()
Dim Wb1 As Workbook
Dim Wb2 As Workbook
Dim dateStr As String
Dim myDate As Date
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.DisplayAlerts = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
Set Wb1 = ActiveWorkbook
myDate = Date
dateStr = Format(myDate, "MM-DD-YY")
Set Wb2 = Application.Workbooks.Add(1)
Wb1.Sheets(Array(Wb1.Sheets(1).Name, Wb1.Sheets(2).Name)).Copy Before:=Wb2.Sheets(1)
Wb2.Sheets(Wb2.Sheets.Count).Delete
Wb2.SaveAs Filename:="c:\test\" & "New Report Name" & " " & dateStr, FileFormat:=51
Wb2.Close
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.DisplayAlerts = True
.EnableEvents = True
End With
End Sub
