Save Worksheets to new Workbook By Checkbox [Excel Macro/VBA] - vba

Question

So my main goal is to save sheets (depending on if they are selected by a checkbox) to a new workbook.
Here is my code:
Sub saveSheetWorkbook()
Dim exampleName As Variant
Dim exampleSavePath As String
Dim exampleSheet As Variant
exampleName = InputBox("Who will this be sent to?")
exampleSavePath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & exampleName
If Worksheets("Example Worksheet 1").Range("E29") = True Then
exampleSheet = "Example Worksheet 2"
End If
Sheets(Array("Example Worksheet 1"), exampleSheet).Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=exampleSavePath, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub
For example, I want to always save Example Worksheet 1, but only save Example Worksheet 2 if the checkbox is ticked. The cell E29 in Example Worksheet 1 is the linked cell for the checkbox.
So this macro works when the checkbox is ticked, but when the checkbox is unticked, I get an error.
I have set it up so that the sheet array either contains the name or nothing. but when containing nothing, that gives me the error.
Any help would be great.
Edit: I need this for 6 different checkboxes/sheets.

Answer 1

you have one parenthesis too much
then
Sub saveSheetWorkbook()
Dim exampleName As Variant
Dim exampleSavePath As String
Dim sheetsArray As Variant
exampleName = InputBox("Who will this be sent to?")
exampleSavePath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & exampleName
If Worksheets("Example Worksheet 1").Range("E29") Then
sheetsArray = Array("Example Worksheet 1", "Example Worksheet 2")
Else
sheetsArray = Array("Example Worksheet 1")
End If
Sheets(sheetsArray).Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=exampleSavePath, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub

Answer 2

You can use my example workbook to do this with form:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzFv0oeets6ubHg2bk96SHotdkU
To create this by yourself, here is instructions:
Press ALT+F11 in order to open VBA window;
Create userform with name "Userform1"
Put listbox to form and change its name to "lstSheet"
Change its properties like shown below:
ListStyle: 1-fmListStyleOPtion;
MultiSelect: 1-fmMultiSelectMulti;
Userform code:
Option Explicit
Dim NewName As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim NumSheets As Integer
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Count As Integer, i As Integer, j As Integer
Count = 0
For i = 0 To lstSheet.ListCount - 1
'check if the row is selected and add to count
If lstSheet.Selected(i) Then Count = Count + 1
Next i
For i = 0 To lstSheet.ListCount - 1
If lstSheet.Selected(i) Then Sheets(lstSheet.List(i)).Select True
Next i
For i = 0 To lstSheet.ListCount - 1
If lstSheet.Selected(i) Then Sheets(lstSheet.List(i)).Select False
If lstSheet.Selected(i) Then Sheets(lstSheet.List(i)).Activate
Next i
Unload Me
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Copy
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Cells.Copy
ws.[A1].PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
ws.Cells.Hyperlinks.Delete
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Cells(1, 1).Select
ws.Activate
Next ws
Cells(1, 1).Select
' Remove named ranges
' Input box to name new file
NewName = InputBox("Please Specify the name of your new workbook", "New Copy")
' Save it with the NewName and in the same directory as original
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & NewName & ".xlsx"
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Private Sub lstSheet_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim Sh As Variant
'for each loop the add visible sheets
For Each Sh In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
'only visible sheetand exclude login sheet
If Sh.Visible = True Then
'add sheets to the listbox
Me.lstSheet.AddItem Sh.Name
End If
Next Sh
End Sub
Create Module and put this code there:
Sub showForm()
Userform1.Show
End Sub
