copying from one excel to other using VBA - vba

I need to copy information from one excel file to other using VBA. Code makes new workbook in certain destination (*C:\Users\eliza_000\Desktop\aaa*) for whole sheet (inv) but I need only range A1:E32 in the new workbook.
Here is the code what I use to copy all sheet
Sub SaveInvWithNewName()
Dim NewFN As Variant
'Copy Invoice to a new workbook
ActiveSheet.Copy
NewFN = "C:\Users\eliza_000\Desktop\aaa\inv" & Range("E6").Value & ".xlsx"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs NewFN, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub

Consider:
Sub dural()
ActiveSheet.Copy
Rows("33:1048576").Delete
Columns("F:xfd").Delete
End Sub
Adjust if you are using a version of Excel pre-2007.

Something like:
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim WB2 As Workbook
Dim NewFN As String
Set WB = ThisWorkbook
Set WB2 = Workbooks.Add(1)
WB.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:E32").Copy WB2.Sheets(1).Range("a1")
NewFN = "C:\Users\eliza_000\Desktop\aaa\inv" & Range("E6").Value & ".xlsx"
NewFN = "C:\temp\stuff.xlsx"
WB2.SaveAs NewFN, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
WB2.Close

Why is the VBA code not saving individual sheets?

The code below should save every sheet in my automated file. Why does it save the whole file again and again with sheets(i) simply highlighted?
Sub Splitbook()
MyPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
For i = 1 To Worksheets.Count
Sheets(i).Activate
Sheets(i).SaveAs _
Filename:=MyPath & "\" & Sheets(i).Name & ".xlsx"
'ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
Next i
End Sub
As #braX said - Each sheet will be saved in a new workbook.
As #TimWilliams said - each sheet needs copying to a new workbook before saving.
ThisWorkbook is the file containing the VBA code.
When a worksheet is copied to a new file the new file becomes the active workbook so we can reference it that way (it would be great if we could write Set wrkBk = wrkSht.Copy, but VBA doesn't like that).
Once we have a reference to the new file we can save it using the sheet name - you may want to add code that ensures the sheet name is a viable file name.
Public Sub SplitWorkbook()
Dim wrkSht As Worksheet
Dim wrkBk As Workbook
For Each wrkSht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
wrkSht.Copy
Set wrkBk = ActiveWorkbook
'Save the new file without closing.
'wrkBk.SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & wrkBk.Worksheets(1).Name
'Save the new file and close.
wrkBk.Close True, ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & wrkBk.Worksheets(1).Name
Next wrkSht
End Sub

VBA Copy Method keeps failing?

I could have sworn that this was working before - but for some reason, this doesn't appear to be working anymore. I'm trying to take the active worksheet (also, this may not be very pretty or clean, but I am still really new to VBA), copy it to a new worksheet, in the new worksheet I want to open the Excel save as dialog, and when the worksheet is saved (in CSV) format, I want the workbook to close (or even if it doesn't close) at least return the user to the original workbook and end the sub
Sub saveExportAs()
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Sheets("load").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Activate
Sheets("load").Copy
Dim varResult As Variant
Dim ActBook As Workbook
'display the save as dialog
varResult = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:="\\network\folder\upload_" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".csv", FileFilter:= _
"Comma Delimited / Upload Files (*.csv),*.csv", Title:="Save Upload File")
'check to make sure the user didn't cancel
If varResult <> False Then
ActiveWorkbook.saveAs Filename:=varResult, _
FileFormat:=xlCSV
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
you can use the sheets defined as workbook/worksheet to avoid issues... may be like this :
Sub saveExportAs()
Dim wb1, wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim varResult As Variant
Set wb1 = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("load")
ws.Copy
Set wb2 = ActiveWorkbook
varResult = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:="\\network\folder\upload_" & Format(Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & ".csv", FileFilter:= _
"Comma Delimited / Upload Files (*.csv),*.csv", Title:="Save Upload File")
If varResult <> False Then
wb2.SaveAs Filename:=varResult, FileFormat:=xlCSV
wb2.Close Savechanges:=True
Exit Sub
End If
wb1.Activate
End Sub
Try this...
Sub exportAsCSV()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
SaveCopyAsCSV ("Sheet1") ' replace Sheet1 with whatever sheet name you need
wb.Activate
End Sub
Private Function SaveCopyAsCSV(SourceSheet As String)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(SourceSheet).copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs fileName:=SourceSheet, FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=True
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Function

How to save Specific worksheets from a workbook using VBA?

Objective:
To save specific worksheets in a workbook as unique CSV files
Conditions:
To save specific worksheets (plural) from a workbook that contains both the specific worksheets and extraneous worksheets (e.g. to save specific 10 out of 20 available worksheets)
Insert the current date into the CSV's file name in order to avoid overwriting files currently in the save folder (this VBA is run daily)
File name syntax: CurrentDate_WorksheetName.csv
I've found VBA code that gets me half way to my goal. It saves ALL worksheets in the workbook but the file name is not dynamic with the current date.
Current Code:
Private Sub SaveWorksheetsAsCsv()
Dim WS As Excel.Worksheet
Dim SaveToDirectory As String
Dim DateToday As Range
Dim CurrentWorkbook As String
Dim CurrentFormat As Long
CurrentWorkbook = ThisWorkbook.FullName
CurrentFormat = ThisWorkbook.FileFormat
' Store current details for the workbook
SaveToDirectory = "S:\test\"
For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
Sheets(WS.Name).Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=SaveToDirectory & WS.Name & ".csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV
ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=CurrentWorkbook, FileFormat:=CurrentFormat
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
' Temporarily turn alerts off to prevent the user being prompted
' about overwriting the original file.
End Sub
There are several issues with your code:
i) There is no reason to save the format or name of your current workbook. Just use a new workbook to save the CSVs that you want.
ii) You were copying each worksheet in the book, but not copying it anywhere. This code was actually saving the same workbook with the name of each sheet. Copying the worksheet doesn't paste it anywhere and doesn't actually tell the saving function only to use parts of the document.
iii) To put the date in the name, you just need to append it to the save name string, as below.
Dim myWorksheets() As String 'Array to hold worksheet names to copy
Dim newWB As Workbook
Dim CurrWB As Workbook
Dim i As Integer
Set CurrWB = ThisWorkbook
SaveToDirectory = "S:\test\"
myWorksheets = Split("SheetName1, SheetName2, SheetName3", ",")
'this contains an array of the sheets.
'If you want more, put another comma and then the next sheet name.
'You need to put the real sheet names here.
For i = LBound(myWorksheets) To UBound(myWorksheets) 'Go through entire array
Set newWB = Workbooks.Add 'Create new workbook
CurrWB.Sheets(Trim(myWorksheets(i))).Copy Before:=newWB.Sheets(1)
'Copy worksheet to new workbook
newWB.SaveAs Filename:=SaveToDirectory & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & myWorksheets(i), FileFormat:=xlCSV
'Save new workbook in csv format to requested directory including date.
newWB.Close saveChanges:=False
'Close new workbook without saving (it is already saved)
Next i
CurrWB.Save 'save original workbook.
End Sub
It seems to me that in that code was a lot of unnecessary stuff but the most important part was almost ready.
Try this:
Sub SaveWorksheetsAsCsv()
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim SaveToDirectory As String
SaveToDirectory = "C:\tmp\"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each WS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
WS.SaveAs Filename:=SaveToDirectory & Format(Now(), "yyyymmdd") & "_" & WS.Name & ".csv", FileFormat:=xlCSV
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Save Selected Sheets to a different work book in VBA

I would like to save a number of worksheets from the current workbook to a different workbook and exclude a sheet named "buttons" (in current one) from that saving process.
Can anybody help please? The number of worksheets is changeable FYI.
Below is what I have so far which include all the sheets from current workbook.
Sub SaveAs()
D1 = VBA.Format(Now, "mm_DD_yyyy")
For Each ws In Application.Workbooks
ws.SaveAs Filename:="C:\Users\e2309\Desktop\Andy's\GBB_Report_" & D1 & ".csv"
Next ws
Application.Quit
End Sub
Or more directly
copy the entire workbook
delete the redundant sheet
code
Sub Simpler()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim strFile As String
strFile = "C:\temp\yourfile.xlsm"
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs strFile, xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("buttons").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
This might get you a little closer. Note this is not complete and very untested.
Sub work()
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim Nwb As Workbook
Dim WS As Worksheet
Set Nwb = New Workbook
Set WB = ThisWorkbook
For Each WS In WB.Sheets
If WS.Name <> "Don't copy" Then
WS.Copy Nwb.Sheets("sheet1")
End If
Next
Nwb.Save
End Sub

Copy value from active sheet to new excel file

I have a work sheet named Final_Sheet, I want to create a button on that sheet and execute the following operation
Select Cell Range A1:D30 and pickup the values from cell only and create a new Excel file and paste the copied cell values into Sheet1 of created excel file. I am able to o this much, further I can't understand what to do can anybody please help me out?
Private Sub Button1_Click()
Dim rownum As Integer
Dim selection As Range
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
rownum = InputBox("Row No to Copy :", "OK")
selection = ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(rownum, 10)).Select
selection.Copy
Flname = InputBox("Enter File Name :", "Creating New File...")
MsgBox ("Output File Created Successfully")
If Flname <> "" Then
Set NewWkbk = Workbooks.Add
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("D1:D30").Copy Before:=NewWkbk.Sheets(1)
NewWkbk.Sheet(1).Select
Cells(1, 1).Activate
selection.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
NewWkbk.SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Flname
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End If
End Sub
The code below should do as you've asked.
EDIT: Pastes values only
Private Sub Button1_Click()
'Dim Variables
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Dim wbNew As Workbook, wbCurrent As Workbook
Dim strFileName As String
'Assign object variables
Set wbCurrent = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = wbCurrent.ActiveSheet
Set rng = ws.Range("A1:D30") 'Amend range if needed
'Get desired file path from user
strFileName = InputBox("Enter File Name: ", "Creating New File...")
If strFileName <> "" Then
'Create new Workbook and paste rng into it
Set wbNew = Workbooks.Add
rng.Copy
wbNew.Sheets(1).Range("A1:D30").PasteSpecial xlValues
'Save new workbook using desired filepath
wbNew.SaveAs wbCurrent.Path & "\" & strFileName
End If
End Sub
It wasn't clear to me from the question which workbook you wished to close with ActiveWorkbook.Close but you could easily add wbNew.Close or wbCurrent.Close below wbNew.SaveAs ... as required.
