Pasting between workbooks excel vba - vba

Question

i have 50 workbooks and i made a code to copy from a main one the rows in which are the corespondent names to the other 49 files. the problem is in pasting to the 49 target files - paste method doesn't work. The errors is when the filter doesn't find entries for a name. How can i include a line that if the filter doesn't find a name in the main file, it will paste "no entries this month" in the file with the name that wasn't find? Thank you.
Any help is welcomed.
Sub name1()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range, rngA As Range, rngB As Range
Dim LRow As Long
Set ws = Sheets("name list")
With ws
LRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("A1:M" & LRow)
.AutoFilterMode = False
With rng
.AutoFilter Field:=12, Criteria1:="name1"
Set rngA = .Offset(1, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
End With
.AutoFilterMode = False
With rng
.AutoFilter Field:=13, Criteria1:="name1"
Set rngB = .Offset(1, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
End With
.AutoFilterMode = False
rng.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Hidden = True
Union(rngA, rngB).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End With
End Sub
Sub name11()
Dim lst As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Integer
Set rng = Application.Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, Range("A:M"))
rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
Selection.Copy
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"\\HOFS\persons\name1.xlsm" _
, UpdateLinks:=true
With Sheets("tribute").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
'.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteColumnWidths
.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End With
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Windows("name list.xlsm").Activate
rng.Offset(1, 0).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End Sub
Sub TRANSFER_name1()
Call name1
Call name11
End Sub

Answer 1

Set the last row separately.
' Gives the first empty row in column 1 (A)
lastRow = Worksheets("tribute").Cells(Worksheets("tribute").Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1
' Pastes values
Worksheets("tribute").Range("A" & lastRow).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

Answer 2

Its probably much better to avoid copy/paste situations. This can get super time consuming over time.
try somethign like this instead:
With Sheets("tribute").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).value = rng.Value
This is a bit crude but I am sure you can significantly simplify your code if you do.
Dim wbk As Workbook
Dim Filename As String
Dim path As String
Dim rCell As Range
Dim rRng As Range
Dim wsO As Worksheet
Dim StartTime As Double
Dim SecondsElapsed As Double
Dim sheet As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
StartTime = Timer
path = "pathtofolder" & "\"
Filename = Dir(path & "*.xl??")
Set wsO = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
Do While Len(Filename) > 0
DoEvents
Set wbk = Workbooks.Open(path & Filename, True, True)
Set rRng = sheet.Range("b1:b308")
For Each rCell In rRng.Cells
wsO.Cells(wsO.Rows.count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = rCell
Next rCell
wbk.Close False
Filename = Dir
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
SecondsElapsed = Round(Timer - StartTime, 2)
MsgBox "This code ran successfully in " & SecondsElapsed & " seconds", vbInformation
