Im trying to create a VBA script with a VLOOKUP to another workbook. The name of the 2nd workbook is always Stock.xls. The data in Stock.xls is always in the first worksheet, but the name of this sheet is different every day. It can be ARTLIST1, ARTLIST2, ARTLIST(3), ARTLIST-4 etc... but always starts with ARTLIST.
How can I tell the VBA script just to use the first sheet, or the sheet always contains the word ARTLIST (e.g. ARTLIST*)
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(C[-36],'[Stock.xls]ARTLIST1'!R1:R65536,13,0)"
Selection.Copy
Help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You can reference it by index and the get the name. Then you the name variable in the building of the formula.
Dim wsName as string
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
Set ws = Application.Worksheets(1)
wsName = ws.Name
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=VLOOKUP(C[-36],'[Stock.xls]" & wsName & "'!R1:R65536,13,0)"
Selection.Copy
Use the worksheet with index of 1 to get the first sheet:
For each ws in worksheetsFor Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Index = 1 Then
'Do code, this is the first worksheet
End If
Next ws

I want to copy dates from a sheet name MasterData which contain macro in a file sheet from other location name Data base .At the end I want to clear info from MasterData sheet and to close sheet Data base.
I run below code but nothing is happening.
Please can advise?
I'm kind new in running VBA code...
Thank you.

Sub Copy_Paste_Below_Last_Cell()
Dim wsCopy As Worksheet
Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Dim lCopyLastRow As Long
Dim lDestLastRow As Long
Workbooks.Open Filename:="D:\VBA\Test1\Prices_Database_ For_ Volume.xlsx"
'Set variables for copy and destination sheets
Set wsCopy = Workbooks("MacroMaster file.xlsm").Sheets("MasterData")
Set wsDest = Workbooks("Prices_Database_ For_ Volume.xlsx").Sheets ("DataBase")
lCopyLastRow = wsCopy.Cells(wsCopy.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
'Offset property moves down 1 row
lDestLastRow = wsDest.Cells(wsDest.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
wsCopy.Range("A2:AB100" & lCopyLastRow).Copy _
wsDest.Range("A" & lDestLastRow)
'Workbooks("Prices_Database_ For_ Volume.xlsx").Close SaveChanges:=True
'Workbooks("MacroMaster file.xlsm").Worksheets("MasterData").Range ("A2:AB100").ClearContents
End Sub
Hope is more ok now
Here is a modification of your code with out all the variables. It incorporates the last rows into each range.
Workbooks.Open Filename:="D:\VBA\Test1\Prices_Database_ For_ Volume.xlsx"
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("MasterData")
Range("A2:AB" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row).Copy _
Destination:=Workbooks("Prices_Database_ For_ Volume.xlsx").Sheets("DataBase").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
End With
I would like to copy a range in one sheet and paste it as a value in another sheet, but just in a specific range in the next available cell in column B. Starting from B4 to B23 only.
I changed some code I found online but it's not working for me in finding the next available row. After I run the macro the first time, when I run it again and again it does nothing, and it's not working in pasting only the values either.
I tried saving the file before running the Macro again, but still it's not working.
At the end, when the range in the Print sheet is full, I would like a message box asking me to select one of the printers (not the default) on one of my servers (specifying the server path in the code like \a_server_name) and print this Print Sheet only, or clear the records in the range in the Print Sheet, or save only the Sheet Print in a new file (SaveAs) to a location I can choose on one of my servers (specifying the server path in the code \a_server_name) or simply do nothing and end the sub.
Thank you.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim copySheet As Worksheet
Dim pasteSheet As Worksheet
Set copySheet = Worksheets(“Data”)
Set pasteSheet = Worksheets("Print”)
copySheet.Range("J11:Q11").Copy
pasteSheet.Range("B4:I23").End(xlUp).Offset(1,0)
.PasteSpecial.xlPasteValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
This will set the values equal to each other without copying/pasting.
Option Explicit
Sub Testing()
Dim wsC As Worksheet: Set wsC = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
Dim wsP As Worksheet: Set wsP = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Print")
Dim LRow As Long
LRow = wsP.Range("B" & wsP.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Row
wsP.Range("B" & LRow).Resize(wsC.Range("J11:Q11").Rows.Count, wsC.Range("J11:Q11").Columns.Count).Value = wsC.Range("J11:Q11").Value
End Sub
Modifying your code - and reducing to minimal example
Sub test()
Dim copySheet As Worksheet: Set copySheet = Worksheets("Data")
Dim pasteSheet As Worksheet: Set pasteSheet = Worksheets("Print")
copySheet.Range("J11:Q11").Copy
pasteSheet.Range("B" & pasteSheet.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
End Sub
From what i can gather, you want to copy 8 cells and paste all 8 cells to 20 rows, starting at B4. You are not clear on how you want to rerun the macro, it will just write over the data you just pasted.
The first code will copy the 8 cells into the 20 rows
With ThisWorkbook
Sheets("Data").Range("J11:Q11").Copy
Sheets("Print").Range("B4:I23").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End With
This second code uses a for loop to accoplish the same task, but it also will write over the previously pasted data.
Dim i As Long
With ThisWorkbook
For i = 4 To 23
Sheets("Data").Range("J11:Q11").Copy
Sheets("Print").Cells(i, 2).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Next i
End With
If you want to be able to reuse the macro, you will have to modify the range to be copied that allows you to select the range you want to copy. Maybe a variable that allows a user input with a InputBox.
Edit:
Dim lRow As Long
lRow = Sheets("Print").Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
With ThisWorkbook
Sheets("Data").Range("J11:Q11").Copy
Sheets("Print").Cells(lRow, 2).Offset(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End With
Edit #3
With ThisWorkbook
Dim lRow As Long
lRow = .Sheets("Print").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Sheets("Data").Range("J11:Q11").Copy
Sheets("Print").Cells(lRow, 2).Offset(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End With
I have a workbook with over 50 worksheets. I would like to copy the name of each worksheet into a cell of that particular workbook. I can do it for one sheet at a time using a macro with the following VBA code:
Range("B1") = ActiveSheet.Name
But when I try to apply the macro to several worksheets at a time, it fails. I would like it to get the names of the first 30 worksheets only.
Avoid relying on the ActiveSheet property to identify the worksheet you want to process. The With ... End With statement can readily provide the worksheet and help retrieve the Worksheet .Name property.
Sub name_Worksheets()
Dim w As Long
For w = 1 To 30
With Worksheets(w)
.Cells(1, 2) = .Name
End With
Next w
End Sub
See How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA macros for more methods on getting away from relying on select and activate to accomplish your goals.
My Understanding is you want to 1) Go through first 30 sheets of your workbook and 2) Paste the sheet name into cell B1.
Sub PasteSheetNameInB1()
For i = 1 To 30 '(1 to 30 because you said " I would like it to get the names of the first 30 worksheets only.")
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(i).Select 'Iterates through first 30 sheets
Range("B1") = ActiveSheet.Name 'Pastes Sheet name into B1
Next i
End Sub
You can use this code:
For i = 1 To 30
Sheets(i).Range("B1").Formula = "=MID(CELL(""filename"",A1),FIND(""]"",CELL(""filename"",A1))+1,255)"
Next
Now if you change the name of any worksheet, You don't need to run the macro again, the formula in Rnage("B1") will display the new name.
So with this code, that you'll paste in the destination workbook,
you'll just need to change :
workbook_to_scan's Name and
Sheet's name in which to paste the names
to fit your needs!
Sub test_johnB()
Dim wB1 As Workbook, _
wB2 As Workbook, _
wSDest As Worksheet, _
wS As Worksheet, _
i As Integer
Set wB1 = ThisWorkbook
Set wB2 = Workbooks("workbook_to_scan's Name")
Set wSDest = wB1.Sheets("Sheet's name in which to paste the names")
i = 0
For Each wS In wB2.Sheets
wSDest.Range("B1").Offset(i, 0) = wS.Name
Next wS
End Sub
I am writing a macro, that counts number of columns in a certain Sheet, then copies this sheet content to Sheet1 inside the same workbook.
Sub test()
Dim LastCol As Long
Set currentsheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")
LastCol = Sheets("APage").Range("A1").End(xlToRight).Column
Sheets("APage").Range("1:1" & LastCol1).Copy
currentsheet.Range("A2").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=True
End Sub
The particularity is that sheet names could be: "APage", "BPage", "10Page" etc. So first latter can be different, but the "Page" always remains in the sheet name.
How to use correctly a * to say in VBA to use all the sheets, named Pages, with any letters at the begging of the sheet name? Thanks!
Sadly you can't. But you can use code like
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If InStr(ws.Name, "Page") > 0 Then
'ws is a worksheet with the text 'Page' in its name
End If
Next
In order to loop through all worksheets with wildcard names, you can do something like this:
Sub LoopThroughWorksheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name Like "*Page" Then
'Do whatever with this particular sheet
End If
Next ws
End Sub
There's no wildcard search within the Sheets collection. You'll need to iterate through them, for example:
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If InStr(ws.Name, "Page") > 0 Then
...
End If
Next
I have this code which appends data from three worksheets to a summary sheet, however on execution it is taking 12 of the 13 rows from sheet 1 and 2 and thirteen from sheet 3 to the summary I also would like this to work by sending to a summary sheet in a different workbook
Sub SummurizeSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Summary").Activate
For Each ws In Worksheets
If ws.Name <> "Summary" Then
ws.Range("D2:D6, D8:D15").Copy
Worksheets("Summary").Cells(Rows.Count, 4).End(xlUp).Offset(0, 0).PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)
End If
Next ws
End Sub
Change Offset(0,0) to Offset(1,0). What's happening is not that it's copying 12 rows, but rather that the subsequent blocks are being pasted starting at the end of the previous block. That is, the first block is pasted into D1:D13, and the second block is pasted into D13:D26. By using Offset(1,0), the second block will be pasted starting with the first empty cell (that is, D14).
You can place the results in a new workbook simply by creating it in the code and referring to it in the paste, for example:
Option Explicit
Sub SummurizeSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim currentWB As Workbook: Set currentWB = ActiveWorkbook
Dim newWB As Workbook: Set newWB = Application.Workbooks.Add
newWB.Worksheets(1).Name = "Summary"
For Each ws In currentWB.Worksheets
ws.Range("D2:D6, D8:D15").Copy
With newWB.Worksheets("Summary").Cells(Rows.Count, 4).End(xlUp)
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)
Else
.Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)
End If
End With
Next ws
End Sub
EDIT updated to paste into the first empty cell in column, even if that is row 1.
