    Create a new file without formulas or auto-update

    Howdy!

    I wrote a code to autosave my files while also creating historical ones. The issue that I just realized is that some of those formulas reference other spreadsheets (and yes, this is part of the plan) and they autoupdate essentially making the whole point of creating a historical file useless. Is there a way to ensure that the spreadsheet creates a copy without the formulas?

    EDIT TO THIS REQUEST:

    The historical file also keeps this auto-save feature. Anyway to create the historical file without them? I'm not sure if this is possible or if it would work, but maybe when saving I could delete all macros and formulas and keep the values? Anyhow, any help is appreciated.

    EDIT #2:

    I've made a few changes to the code and now I'm getting error 1004 when I try to change the file format.... Why?

    I'm not sure if this will count as a spam (Hope it doesn´t), but I ended up solving it myself. I'll post the final code if anyone ever needs help with this.
