Copy specific row to another workbook based on a cell value - vba

Question

I want to copy row(A:E), row(F:AH), and row(AL)from the active workbook to row(A:E), row(G:AI), row(AJ) of another workbook. Here's the code that I'm working on. I saw it here and just edited it.
Dim wb1 As Workbook, wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim copyFrom As Range
Dim lRow As Long
Dim strSearch As String
Dim ret
ret = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Workbooks (*.xls, .xlsx*),*.xls, .xlsx*", _
Title:="Select data file for Monitoring Log")
Set wb1 = ThisWorkbook
Set ws1 = wb1.Worksheets("Macro Template")
strSearch = "Newly Distributed"
With ws1
.AutoFilterMode = False
lRow = .Range("AL" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
With .Range("AL7:AL" & lRow)
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=*" & strSearch & "*"
Set copyFrom = .Offset(1, 0).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow
End With
'~~> Remove any filters
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With
'~~> Destination File
Set wb2 = Application.Workbooks.Open(ret)
Set ws2 = wb2.Worksheets("Source")
With ws2
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Cells) <> 0 Then
lRow = .Cells.Find(What:="*", _
After:=.Range("A1"), _
Lookat:=xlPart, _
LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious, _
MatchCase:=False).Row + 1
Else
lRow = 1
End If
copyFrom.Copy .Rows(lRow)
End With
wb2.Save
wb2.Close
This code copies the entire row. How can I revise it to copy specific rows.

Answer 1

Replace
copyFrom.Copy .Rows(lRow)
with
copyFrom.Columns("A:E").Copy .Cells(lRow, "A")
copyFrom.Columns("F:AH").Copy .Cells(lRow, "G")
copyFrom.Columns("AL").Copy .Cells(lRow, "AJ")

Answer 2

From the source code, i just could see you copy the data from the column AL to another worksheet.
I modified your code and it successfully copy to the another worksheet. The copy function could be written in 1 line instead of multiple line.
Option Explicit
Dim wb1 As Workbook
Dim wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim lRow As Long
Dim lRow2 As Long
Dim strSearch As String
Sub Test()
Dim ret
ret = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Workbooks (*.xls, .xlsx*),*.xls, .xlsx*", _
Title:="Select data file for Monitoring Log")
Set wb1 = ThisWorkbook
Set ws1 = wb1.Worksheets("Macro Template")
strSearch = "Newly Distributed"
With ws1
.AutoFilterMode = False
lRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "AL").End(xlUp).Row
'lRow = .Range("AL" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
With .Range("AL7:AL" & lRow)
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=*" & strSearch & "*"
End With
End With
'~~> Destination File
Set wb2 = Application.Workbooks.Open(ret)
Set ws2 = wb2.Worksheets("Source")
With ws2
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(.Cells) <> 0 Then
lRow2 = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
Else
lRow2 = 1
End If
'copyFrom.Copy .Rows(lRow)
ws1.Range("AL8:AL" & lRow).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy Destination:=ws2.Range("A" & lRow2)
End With
'~~> Remove any filters
ws1.AutoFilterMode = False
wb2.Save
wb2.Close
End Sub
