Copy rows starting from certain row till the end using macro - vba

Question

I need to copy values of one excel and create a new one with required format. Say i need to copy columns from B11 to BG11 and rows will be till the end.( i don't know how to find the end of rows). And I have column heading in b7 to bg7. In between there are unwanted rows and i don't need it. So in the new excel i want column headings(which is from b7 to bg7) as first row and the values from b11 to bg11 till the end.
This is my first excel Macro. I don't know how to proceed. So with references from some stackoverflow question and other site, i have tried the below code. but it is not giving the required output.
Sub newFormat()
Dim LastRow As Integer, i As Integer, erow As Integer
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Range(“B” & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To LastRow
Sheets("MySheetName").Range("B7:BG7").Copy
Sheets("MySheetName").Range("B11:BG11").Copy
Workbooks.Open Filename:=”C:\Users\abcd\Documents\Newformat.xlsx”
Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Select
erow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
ActiveSheet.Cells(erow, 1).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End If
Next i
End Sub
this may be simple. any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Few things...
Do not use Integer for rows. Post xl2007, the number of rows have increased and Integer can't hold that. Use Long
You do not need to select a range to paste on it. You can directly perform the action.
You do not need to use a loop. You can copy ranges in two chunks
Work with objects so Excel doesn't get confused by your objects.
Since Sheet1 is empty, you don't need to find the last row there. Simply start at 1.
To output the data to new workbook, you have to use Workbooks.Add
See this example (Untested)
Sub newFormat()
Dim wbO As Workbook
Dim wsI As Worksheet, wsO As Worksheet
Dim LastRow As Long, erow As Long
'~~> Set this to the relevant worksheet
Set wsI = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("HW SI Upload")
'~~> Find the last row in Col B
LastRow = wsI.Range("B" & wsI.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
'~~> Open a new workbook
Set wbO = Workbooks.Add
'~~> Set this to the relevant worksheet
Set wsO = wbO.Sheets(1)
'~~> The first row in Col A for writing
erow = 1
'~~> Copy Header
wsI.Range("B7:BG7").Copy wsO.Range("A" & erow)
'~~> Increment output row by 1
erow = erow + 1
'~~> Copy all rows from 11 to last row
wsI.Range("B11:BG" & LastRow).Copy wsO.Range("A" & erow)
'~~> Clear Clipboard
Application.CutCopyMode = False
'
'~~> Code here to do a Save As
'
End Sub

Different but the same
Rename the sheet
Sub Button1_Click()
Dim wb As Workbook, ws As Worksheet, sh As Worksheet
Dim LstRw As Long, Rng As Range, Hrng As Range
Set sh = Sheets("MySheetName")
With sh
Set Hrng = .Range("B7:BG7")
LstRw = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Set Rng = .Range("B11:BG" & LstRw)
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = 0
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\Users\abcd\Documents\Newformat.xlsx"
Set wb = Workbooks("Newformat.xlsx")
Set ws = wb.Sheets(1)
Hrng.Copy ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1)
Rng.Copy ws.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1)
ws.Name = sh.Name 'renames sheet
wb.Save
wb.Close
End Sub
