'Updateby20200806
Dim FileExtStr As String
Dim FileFormatNum As Long
Dim xWs As Worksheet
Dim xWb As Workbook
Dim xNWb As Workbook

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set xWb = Application.ThisWorkbook

DateString = Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss")
FolderName = xWb.Path & "\" & xWb.Name & " " & DateString

If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
    FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = -4143
Else
    Select Case xWb.FileFormat
        Case 51:
            FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51
        Case 52:
            If Application.ActiveWorkbook.HasVBProject Then
                FileExtStr = ".xlsm": FileFormatNum = 52
            Else
                FileExtStr = ".xlsx": FileFormatNum = 51
            End If
        Case 56:
            FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = 56

            FileExtStr = ".xlsb": FileFormatNum = 50
        End Select
End If

MkDir FolderName

For Each xWs In xWb.Worksheets
On Error GoTo NErro
    If xWs.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
    xWs.Select
    xWs.Copy
    xFile = FolderName & "\" & xWs.Name & FileExtStr
    Set xNWb = Application.Workbooks.Item(Application.Workbooks.Count)
    xNWb.SaveAs xFile, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
    xNWb.Close False, xFile
    End If
NErro:
    xWb.Activate
Next

    MsgBox "You can find the files in " & FolderName
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
