Background
I have a workbook with 7 sheets but only 6 with data. All of these 7 sheets have the same structure/headings, it's just that the last sheet (sheet 7) is blank.
I want to write a code that will copy the contents of sheets 1-6 in the range of A2:J15 into the sheet 7 worksheet. I currently have a code that I have been using to test and see if it works but the code I have only copies and pastes from one worksheet only (see below). Any suggestions?
In the below, I have two sheets where I want the data to come from and the destination sheet where I want the data to go:
Sub sbCopyRangeToAnotherSheet()
Sheets("Source1").Range("A1:B10").Copy
Sheets("Source2").Range("A1:B10").Copy
Sheets("Destination").Activate
Range("A1:B10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
Your problem is coming from your attempt to copy two items directly after each other. The second copy call is overwriting the data you copied in the first call.
Sheets("Source1").Range("A1:B10").Copy
Sheets("Destination").Activate
Range("A1:B10").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Sheets("Source2").Range("<your new range here>").Copy
Sheets("Destination").Activate
Range("<your new range here>").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
The code above should explain what I mean albeit not the most efficient way. A more effective way would be to use:
Sheets("Source1").Range("A1:B10").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Destination").Range("A1:B10")
Sheets("Source2").Range("A1:B10").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Destination").Range("<range>")
As sugguested in the comments:
Sub sbCopyRangeToAnotherSheet()
Sheets("Source1").Range("A1:B10").Copy Sheets("7").Range("A1")
Sheets("Source2").Range("A1:B10").Copy Sheets("7").Range("A1").end(xlDown).offset(1,0)
Sheets("Source3").Range("A1:B10").Copy Sheets("7").Range("A1").end(xlDown).offset(1,0)
Sheets("Source4").Range("A1:B10").Copy Sheets("7").Range("A1").end(xlDown).offset(1,0)
Sheets("Source5").Range("A1:B10").Copy Sheets("7").Range("A1").end(xlDown).offset(1,0)
Sheets("Source6").Range("A1:B10").Copy Sheets("7").Range("A1").end(xlDown).offset(1,0)
End Sub
Assuming that you want to paste the data by rows (and not overwrite it), and your sheets are named Source1 to Source6, then the following should work:
Sub testSO()
For i = 1 To 6
Sheets("Source" & i).Range("A1:B10").Copy Sheets("Destination").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
Next i
End Sub

I am trying to loop through a bunch of sheets and check the same cell in each sheet and report back the highest value. I currently have some code that loops through a sheet and copies some data and paste in below and it cycles through all the sheets but I cannot figure out how to get the determine max value part. Data used to copy data from one sheet to another shown below.
Public Sub CopyData()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 2 To ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
'Method 1
Sheets("4-1-21").Range("A53:F100").Copy Destination:=Sheets(i).Range("A53:F100")
'Method 2
'Copy the data
Sheets("4-1-21").Range("A53:F100").Copy
'Activate the destination worksheet
Sheets(i).Activate
'Select the target range
Range("A53:F100").Select
'Paste in the target destination
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = True
Next i
End Sub
Use case: I want to copy data from column A to Column B (where column A, B are arbitrary columns). Once the data is in Column B, I want to remove duplicate entries within column B.
Make a loop that moves data from column A to column B and then removes duplicates for each sheet in a workbook.
`Sub Copy()
For i = 1 To Sheets.Count
Worksheets(i).Range("A1:A100")
Destination:=Worksheets(i).Range("B1")
Next
End Sub
`
For testing I separated the tasks into two different Sub(). Sub Copy() is working and correctly copies my data. Sheet1 is also named "Sheet1" for my specific workbook
`Sub RemoveStuff()
Dim rng As Range
For j = 1 To Sheets.Count
Set rng = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range(Range("B1"),Range("B1").End(xlDown)).Select
rng.RemoveDuplicates Columns:=(1), Header:=xlGuess
Next
End Sub
`
My error seems to be in defining the range correctly. Each sheet will have a different number of entries to remove duplicates from. Sheet1 might have 50 rows and reduce to 6. Sheet2 could have 70 and reduce to 3. Sheet3 could have 20 rows and reduce to 12 uniques. Excel does not let you remove duplicates from range (B:B!)
How can I properly define my range so I can remove duplicates in a loop for a dynamically defined range for each sheet(sheet=tabs in workbook)?
EDIT 2-23-17
New code from Y0wE3K
Sub RemoveStuff()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Columns("P:P").RemoveDuplicates,Columns:=1, Header:=xlYes
Next
End Sub
Still does not work. If I manually select Column P before I run the macro, it works. But it only goes for the one sheet I have selected, it does not seem to execute the loop. Definitely does not automatically do each sheet, or prompt me for each one.
EDIT: 3/4
Make sure that you do not have any protected data, I also experienced issues with pivot tables but I think this may be permissions thank you for help.
Your RemoveStuff subroutine can be rewritten as:
Sub RemoveStuff()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets ' Use Worksheets instead of Sheets,
' in case there are any Charts
'You can just select the whole column, rather than selecting
'specific rows
ws.Columns("B:B").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlGuess
Next
End Sub
Sub RemoveStuff()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Columns("P:P").RemoveDuplicates,Columns:=1, Header:=xlYes
Next
End Sub
This code will work. As a final note, please make sure you have no Protected Data, or pivot tables inside of the sheets you need to run the remove script on. For whatever reason that caused mine to fail, but running my script on the correct sheets that are unprotected worked GREAT.
I need to copy the cell contents in C10 from one sheet (called "New Customers") to another sheet's (called "Inventory") next available row.
Once the cell is copied, it should be copied or autofilled down 10 times. So 10 rows in the Inventory sheet have the same Customer ID populated.
Note: This macro will be ran multiple times and it should always populate the "Inventory" sheet with whatever the next avaiblaable 10 rows are at that point.
I have not figured out the Autofill part. That's where I need your help, the rest does what it should. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Sub copyCustomer()
'copy customer ID into inventory sheet. Then autofill inventory 10 times.
'need for this to OFFSET to add a new customer next time macro is ran.
Set Source = Sheets("New Customers")
Sheets("New Customers").Select
Range("C10").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Inventory").Select
Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
'Autofill this 10 times
End Sub
Try this (which replaces all your present code)
Sub copyCustomer()
Sheets("New Customers").Range("C10").Copy Sheets("Inventory").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(10)
End Sub
I am busy creating a production schedule in excel 2010. I have used formulas to give me due dates for each job and a check box for when the job are done. I used the following VB to move the information to sheet 2 when the check box is checked.
Sub MoveData()
If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Shapes("Check Box 1").OLEFormat.Object.Value = 1 Then
Range("A2:B2:C2:D2:E2:F2:G2:H2:I2:J2:K2:L2:M2").Select
Selection.Cut
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select
End If
End Sub
The problem I have now is that it moves the formulas with the details in the cells from sheet 1 to sheet 2. I need the formulas to be locked in sheet 1 and affect new information inserted into the cells.
When the data in the row moves to sheet 2 the row is empty in sheet 1. Is there a way to automatically move all the remaining data up to fill the empty cells
Thanx
Do you just want to copy the values from Worksheets(1) to Sheets("Sheet2")?
Sub MoveData()
Dim r As Range
If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Shapes("Check Box 1").OLEFormat.Object.Value = 1 Then
Set r = Worksheets(1).Range("A2:B2:C2:D2:E2:F2:G2:H2:I2:J2:K2:L2:M2")
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Resize(1, r.Count) = r.Value
'r.ClearContents
End If
End Sub
Instead of cut and paste try the following.
Sub MoveData()
If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Shapes("Check Box 1").OLEFormat.Object.Value = 1 Then
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1:M1").Formula = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:M2").Formula
Range("A1").Select
End If
End Sub
Edit:
If you were cutting to remove the originals from Sheet1 just use,
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:M2").Clear
I'm really hoping someone can help me with this one. I have recorded a macro to use within a sheet that needs to create a row at the same position on 2 worksheets and then, on one of them, copy the formula's in the cells from the row below it. The code I have looks like this -
Sub Macro1()
Sheets(Array("SCHEDULE", "ANNUAL SUMMARY")).Select
Sheets("SCHEDULE").Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Sheets("ANNUAL SUMMARY").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Select
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Rows("1:2").EntireRow _
, Type:=xlFillDefault
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Rows("1:2").EntireRow.Select
Sheets("SCHEDULE").Select
ActiveCell.Select
My problem is, when I run it manually and then record the macro, it does exactly what I want it to, but when I run this from a button on the "SCHEDULE" sheet it does not copy the formula's from the row below the one on the "ANNUAL SUMMARY" sheet.
Can anyone help to get this working with me?
Thanks all in advance

The problem with the macro recorder is that although it can give you a good indication of what code you need, it also generates very inefficient code and includes all of the select and activate statements that you need to try and avoid using.
Any reference in the code to ActiveCell is referring to the cell that is currently selected and ActiveSheet is the sheet that is currently selected. This can give you undesired results if you run the macro from a different sheet that the macro was recorded from...
If you wanted to copy row 1 from SCHEDULE sheet then you can use
Sheets("SCHEDULE").Rows(1).Copy Sheets("ANNUAL SUMMARY").Rows(1)
If you want to auto fill a range, then this can be accomplished with a single line of code
This will auto fill the contents of row1 (column A - E) down to row 100 in your ANNUAL SUMMARY sheet
Sheets("ANNUAL SUMMARY").Range("A1:E100").FillDown
So if we put it all together and include some declarations for our source and destination sheet to make the sub more readable..
Sub CopyAndFillDownExample()
Dim rowNumber As Long, offset As Long
Dim sourceSht As Worksheet, destinationSht As Worksheet
'set the source and destinationsheets
Set sourceSht = Sheets("SCHEDULE")
Set destinationSht = Sheets("ANNUAL SUMMARY")
'number of rows to copy down
offset = 100
'get currently selected row
rowNumber = ActiveCell.Row
'copy the selected row from the source sheet to the destination sheet
sourceSht.Rows(rowNumber).Copy destinationSht.Rows(rowNumber)
'fill down the formulas
destinationSht.Rows(rowNumber & ":" & rowNumber + offset).FillDown
End Sub
