Convert or Export a Range to Separate XLS, Word, PDF, and More
Typically, Excel doesn't offer a quick option to export or save a selected range directly as a CSV, Excel, or other file types. To achieve this, you would need to either use a VBA macro or manually copy the range to a new workbook before saving. Kutools for Excel simplifies this process with its Export Range to File utility, allowing you to quickly and easily handle these operations in just a few clicks.
