VBA import data: exclude sheet if doesn't exist - vba

I have built this code which import data from a workbook and paste it to another one. The original workbook is composed by hundred of sheets (one sheet for each country, identified by the ISO 2 digit code: AE, AL, AM, AR etc...). The macro is opening each one of these sheets, copying the same cell, and printing all these cells in a new workbook.
The problem is that if, for example, the sheet F(AM) doesn't exists, the macro stops. I would like to make sure that if a sheet doesn't exist, the macro continues with all the other sheets (namely F(AR), F(AT), F(AU)) till the end.
Someone has any suggestion?
Many thanks in advance!
Sub ImportData()

This function returns TRUE or FALSE, indicating whether a worksheet named in string wsName exists in workbook object
Function wsExists(wb As Workbook, wsName As String) As Boolean
Dim ws: For Each ws In wb.Sheets
wsExists = (wsName = ws.Name): If wsExists Then Exit For
Next ws
End Function
Us an IF statement to skip the applicable code if the worksheet does not exist.
Edit:
I can tell that you put a lot of work into your code, which is awesome, so don't take it the wrong way when I say it gave me anxiety so I had to simplify it. ...there are a lot of unneeded steps.
I do believe the "right way" is "whatever way works", so kudo's on getting this far. There's a steep learning curve in programming, so I figured I'd offer an alternate code block to replace yours. (The Option Explicit goes at the very top of the module, and will "force" you to properly declare/handle variables, objects, etc.)
Without seeing your data I can't guarantee this will work - in fact it very likely a cell reference wrong somewhere that you'll have to try to figure out - if you choose to use this at all.
Option Explicit
Sub ImportData()
Const SheetName = "Data" 'destination sheet name
Const sourceFile = "_20171231.xlsx" 'source filename for some reason
Dim wbSrc As Workbook, wbDest As Workbook, sht As Variant
Dim stPath As String, arrSourceSht() As Variant, inRow As Long
Set wbDest = ThisWorkbook 'dest wb object
stPath = Worksheets("Input").Range("C6").Value 'source wb stPath
'create array of source sheet names "146-150":
arrSourceSht = Array("F(AE)", "F(AL)", "F(AM)", "F(AR)", "F(AT)", "F(AU)")
Set wbSrc = Workbooks.Open(stPath & sourceFile) 'open source wb
With wbSrc
'VLookup to identify the correct data point
inRow = 5 'current input row
For Each sht In arrSourceSht
If wsExists(wbSrc, CStr(sht)) Then
wbDest.Sheets(sht).Range("AW" & inRow) = Application._
WorksheetFunction.VLookup("010", Range(.Sheets(sht).Range("N" & _
20 + inRow).Offset(-10), .Sheets(sht).Range("N" & 20 + inRow).Offset(-7)), 2, False)
End If
inRow = inRow + 1 'new input row
Next sht
wbDest.Save 'save dest
.Close savechanges:=False 'don't save source
End With
MsgBox "Data: imported!"
End Sub
Function wsExists(wb As Workbook, wsName As String) As Boolean
Dim ws: For Each ws In wb.Sheets
wsExists = (wsName = ws.Name): If wsExists Then Exit For
Next ws
End Function
Let me know if you have any questions, I can walk you through how it works if you like. (I'm on here at least once a day.)

Macro VBA: Match text cells across two workbooks and paste

I need help modifying a macro that matches the part number (Column C) between two sheets in different workbooks. Then it pastes the info from 'Original' sheet from the range P9:X6500 into the 'New' sheet into the range P9:X6500. The first sheet 'Original' in column C range C9:C6500 is the matching part number column. The 'New' sheet has the same column C with the part number to match. I only want match and paste the visible values.
I originally had this macro code which copy pastes only visible values from one workbook to another that I would like to modify it to match and copy paste:
Sub GetDataDemo()
Const FileName As String = "Original.xlsx"
Const SheetName As String = "Original"
FilePath = "C:\Users\me\Desktop\"
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim this As Worksheet
Dim i As Long, ii As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If IsEmpty(Dir(FilePath & FileName)) Then
MsgBox "The file " & FileName & " was not found", , "File Doesn't Exist"
Else
Set this = ActiveSheet
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(FilePath & FileName)
With wb.Worksheets(SheetName).Range("P9:X500")
On Error Resume Next
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy this.Range("P9")
On Error GoTo 0
End With
End If
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("NEW").Activate
End Sub
Also here is what I want it to look like:
Original
NEW
I appreciate the help!
try the following where it copies the range from one sheet to the other. You can break up With wb.Worksheets(SheetName).Range("P9:X500") into With wb.Worksheets(SheetName) then use .Range("P9:X500").Copy this.Range("P9") inside the With statement. Avoid using names like i or ii or this and use something more descriptive. The error handling is essentially only dealing with Sheets not being present and i think better handling of that scenario could be done. Finally, you need to turn ScreenUpdating back on to view changes.
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetDataDemo()
Const FILENAME As String = "Original.xlsx"
Const SHEETNAME As String = "Original"
Const FILEPATH As String = "C:\Users\me\Desktop\"
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim this As Worksheet 'Please reconsider this name
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If IsEmpty(Dir(FILEPATH & FILENAME)) Then
MsgBox "The file " & FILENAME & " was not found", , "File Doesn't Exist"
Else
Set this = ActiveSheet
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(FILEPATH & FILENAME)
With wb.Worksheets(SHEETNAME)
'On Error Resume Next ''Not required here unless either of sheets do not exist
.Range("P9:X500").Copy this.Range("P9")
' On Error GoTo 0
End With
End If
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("NEW").Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True ' so you can see the changes
End Sub
UPDATE: As OP wants to match between sheets on column C in both and paste associated row information across (Col P to Col X) second code version posted below
Version 2:
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetDataDemo()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim lookupRange As Range
Dim matchRange As Range
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set lookupRange = wb.Worksheets("Original").Range("C9:C500")
Set matchRange = wb.Worksheets("ThisSheet").Range("C9:C500")
Dim lookupCell As Range
Dim matchCell As Range
With wb.Worksheets("Original")
For Each lookupCell In lookupRange
For Each matchCell In matchRange
If Not IsEmpty(matchCell) And matchCell = lookupCell Then 'assumes no gaps in lookup range
matchCell.Offset(0, 13).Resize(1, 9).Value2 = lookupCell.Offset(0, 13).Resize(1, 9).Value2
End If
Next matchCell
Next lookupCell
End With
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("NEW").Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
You may need to amend a few lines to suit your environment e.g. change this to meet your sheet name (pasting to).
Set matchRange = wb.Worksheets("ThisSheet").Range("C9:C500")

Setting wbkDest.worksheets("xxxxxxx") to Reflect a Range

I have a workbook that generates pages/page names. The worksheet name always reflects a job number. The job number is also always displayed in cell A1.
I want to copy data from another book, and paste it back into this worksheet, but I need to target the page I want to paste the data.
My issue is that I can't say wbkDest.Worksheets("sheet1").
I need to say something like wbk.Dest.Worksheets(Range("a1").value).
So again: Paste in the sheet with the same name as cell A1 in the workbook the macro is triggered from.
sub import()
Dim wbkSrc As Workbook, wbkDest As Workbook
Dim myFile As String
Dim Path As String
Dim emptyRow As Long
Dim wsOrig As Worksheet
Set wsOrig = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
emptyRow = 1
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set wbkDest = Workbooks("lathe_project6-1-2017.xlsm")
Path = "G:\FIXTURES\" & Range("A1").Value & "\lists\new folder\"
myFile = Dir(Path & "*.xls??")
Set wbkSrc = Workbooks.Open(Path & myFile)
wbkSrc.Worksheets(1).Range("A1:I100").Copy
wbkDest.Worksheets(wsOrig.Range("A1").Value).Cells(emptyRow, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
wbkSrc.Close
End Sub
This doesn't work:?
Dim wskVariableSheet as worksheet
Set wskVariableSheet = wbkDest.Sheets(Range("a1").Value)
And then just reference to wskVariableSheet.range where you want to paste.

Splitting Sheets into Separate Workbooks

I have a workbook with a master sheet for school report cards. I have a macro applied to a button for exporting information from the master sheet to separate, newly-generated sheets in the same workbook. A1:C71 is the template and goes to every new sheet, and the following columns of info, from D1:71 to Q1:71, each appear in separate sheets (always in D1:71).
Here's the screenshot (http://imgur.com/a/ZDOVb), and here's the code:
`Option Explicit
Sub parse_data()
Dim studsSht As Worksheet
Dim cell As Range
Dim stud As Variant
Set studsSht = Worksheets("Input")
With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
For Each cell In studsSht.Range("D7:Q7").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues)
.Item(cell.Value) = .Item(cell.Value) & cell.EntireColumn.Address(False, False) & ","
Next
For Each stud In .keys
Intersect(studsSht.UsedRange, studsSht.Range(Left(.Item(stud), Len(.Item(stud)) - 1))).Copy Destination:=GetSheet(CStr(stud)).Range("D1")
Next
End With
studsSht.Activate
End Sub
Function GetSheet(shtName As String) As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Set GetSheet = Worksheets(shtName)
If GetSheet Is Nothing Then
Set GetSheet = Sheets.Add(after:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count))
GetSheet.Name = shtName
Sheets("Input").Range("A1:C71").Copy
GetSheet.Range("A1:D71").PasteSpecial xlAll
GetSheet.Range("A1:B71").EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 17.57
GetSheet.Range("C1:C71").EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 54.14
GetSheet.Range("D1:D71").EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 22
End If
End Function`
I would now like to create a separate button to split the sheets into separate workbooks so that the master sheet can be kept for record keeping and the individual workbooks can be shared with parents online (without divulging the info of any kid to parents other than their own). I would like the workbooks to be saved with the existing name of the sheet, and wonder if there's a way to have the new workbooks automatically saved in the same folder as the original workbook without having to input a path name? (It does not share the same filename as any of the sheets).
I tried finding other code and modifying it, but I just get single blank workbooks and I need as many as have been generated (preferably full of data!), which varies depending on the class size. Here's the pathetic attempt:
`Sub split_Reports()
Dim splitPath As String
Dim w As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim lastr As Long
Dim wbkName As String
Dim wksName As String
Set wsh = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
splitPath = "G:\splitWb\"
Set w = Workbooks.Add
For i = 1 To lastr
wbkName = ws
w.Worksheets.Add(After:=w.Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = ws
w.SaveAs splitPath
w.Close
Set w = Workbooks.Add
Next i
End Sub`
I have learned so much, and yet I know so little.
Maybe this will start you off, just some simple code to save each sheet as a new workbook. You would probably need some check that the sheet name is a valid file name.
Sub x()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
ws.Copy
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True, Filename:=ws.Name & ".xlsx"
Next ws
End Sub

Merge Multiple Workbooks that have multiple worksheets using VBA

I keep having this issue of VBA either not having an object for the new sheet I want to merge, or having the subscript out of range issue come up. None of the things I tried ended up working.
Private Sub MergeButton_Click()
Dim filename As Variant
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim s As Sheet1
Dim thisSheet As Sheet1
Dim lastUsedRow As Range
Dim j As Integer
On Error GoTo ErrMsg
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set thisSheet = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
MsgBox "Reached method"
'j is for the sheet number which needs to be created in 2,3,5,12,16
For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
For i = 0 To FilesListBox.ListCount - 1
filename = FilesListBox.List(i, 0)
'Open the spreadsheet in ReadOnly mode
Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Open(filename, ReadOnly:=True)
'Copy the used range (i.e. cells with data) from the opened spreadsheet
If FirstRowHeadersCheckBox.Value And i > 0 Then 'Only include headers from the first spreadsheet
Dim mr As Integer
mr = wb.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
wb.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Offset(3, 0).Resize(mr - 3).Copy
Else
wb.ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Copy
End If
'thisSheet = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(SheetCurr)
'Paste after the last used cell in the master spreadsheet
If Application.Version < "12.0" Then 'Excel 2007 introduced more rows
Set lastUsedRow = thisSheet.Range("A65536").End(xlUp)
Else
Set lastUsedRow = thisSheet.Range("A1048576").End(xlUp)
End If
'Only offset by 1 if there are current rows with data in them
If thisSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count > 1 Or Application.CountA(thisSheet.Rows(1)) Then
Set lastUsedRow = lastUsedRow.Offset(1, 0)
End If
lastUsedRow.PasteSpecial
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next i
This is where I try to add an extra loop that copies the next sheet (which is Sheet12) but it comes up with the Subscript our of range error.
Sheets("Sheet3").Activate
Sheet.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets
Next Sheet
It will then move to the next sheet to perform the loop again.
ThisWorkbook.Save
Set wb = Nothing
#If Mac Then
'Do nothing. Closing workbooks fails on Mac for some reason
#Else
'Close the workbooks except this one
Dim file As String
For i = 0 To FilesListBox.ListCount - 1
file = FilesListBox.List(i, 0)
file = Right(file, Len(file) - InStrRev(file, Application.PathSeparator, , 1))
Workbooks(file).Close SaveChanges:=False
Next i
#End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Unload Me
ErrMsg:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "There was an error. Please try again. [" & Err.Description & "]"
End If
End Sub
Any help an this would be great
Your source code is very confusing and I believe you're stumbling because the ActiveWorkbook and ActiveSheet change each time you open a new workbook. It's also not clear why you're copying/merging the data from each worksheet in every opened workbook and then copying Sheet3. You will help yourself by more clearly defining what and where your data is and how you're moving it around.
As an example (that may not solve your problem, because your problem is not clear), look at the code below to see how you can keep the sources and destinations straight within your loops. Modify this example as much as you need in order to match your exact situation.
Sub Merge()
'--- assumes that each sheet in your destination workbook matches a sheet
' in each of the source workbooks, then copies the data from each source
' sheet and merges/appends that source data to the bottom of each
' destination sheet
Dim destWB As Workbook
Dim srcWB As Workbook
Dim destSH As Worksheet
Dim srcSH As Worksheet
Dim srcRange As Range
Dim i As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set destWB = ThisWorkbook
For i = 0 To FileListBox.ListCount - 1
Set srcWB = Workbooks.Open(CStr(FileListBox(i, 0)), ReadOnly:=True)
For Each destSH In destWB.Sheets
Set srcSH = srcWB.Sheets(destSH.Name) 'target the same named worksheet
lastdestrow = destSH.Range("A").End(xlUp)
srcSH.UsedRange.Copy destSH.Range(Cells(lastdestrow, 1))
Next destSH
srcWB.Close
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

How to name Excel worksheets alphabetically?

I am trying to create a macro that will copy actual sheet and name it with next letter of the alphabet. First sheet "A" always exists in the workbook, other sheets (B, C, D, etc.) will be added as necessary. I managed to put together the following piece of code that can create sheet "B". Issue is that when copying sheet "B", I get Run-time error '1004' indicating error on the last line of code.
Sub newList()
' New_List Macro
Dim PrevLetter As String
PrevLetter = "ActiveSheet.Name"
ActiveSheet.Copy after:=ActiveSheet
ActiveSheet.Name = Chr(Asc(PrevLetter) + 1)
End Sub
Can anyone of you help?
Your code is giving an error as Soren mentioned.
However your code will give an error if sheet "A" is active after creation of "B" as sheet "B" already exists.
You might want to try this? for this, it's not important which sheet is active. Also this code will let you create sheets beyond Z. So sheets after Z will be named as AA, AB etc..
Using this code, In XL2007+ you can create sheets up till XFD (more 16383 sheets)
Using this code, In XL2003 you can create sheets up till IV (more 255 sheets)
CODE:
Sub newList()
Dim PrevLetter As String
Dim ws As Worksheet, wsNew As Worksheet
Dim wsname As String
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("A")
ws.Copy after:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
Set wsNew = ActiveSheet
wsname = GetNewName
wsNew.Name = wsname
End Sub
Function GetNewName() As String
Dim NewWs As Worksheet
For i = 2 To ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Columns.Count
ColName = Split(ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells(, i).Address, "$")(1)
On Error Resume Next
Set NewWs = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(ColName)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
GetNewName = ColName
Exit For
End If
Next i
End Function
You should simply write your code like this instead:
Sub newList()
' New_List Macro
Dim PrevLetter As String
PrevLetter = ActiveSheet.Name '<--- Change made to this line
ActiveSheet.Copy after:=ActiveSheet
ActiveSheet.Name = Chr(Asc(PrevLetter) + 1)
End Sub
EDIT: This is not a "best practice code" answer. This just points out what in your own code were returning the error. The other answers to this question (so far) are indeed much more sophisticated and correct ways of solving this problem.
Here is another way you could do this:
Sub newList()
' New_List Macro
Dim PrevLetter As String
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws1 = wb.ActiveSheet
PrevLetter = ws1.Name
ws1.Copy After:=ws1
Sheets(Sheets.Count).Name = Chr(Asc(PrevLetter) + 1)
Set wb = Nothing
Set ws1 = Nothing
End Sub
