I dont have plenty of experience in VBA excel so i could use some help.
I created an excel worksheet.
Now i want to create a macro which sends the data from my worksheet to other excel workbooks.
I want to use an if statement so if project name = "x" then the macro should send data to workbook "x" and rank the imported worksheets by date.
I found this on the web and had adjusted it a bit
Private Sub CommandButton21_Click()
Dim Data As Range
Dim myData As Workbook
Worksheets("blad1").Select
Set Data = Range("c2")
Set myData = Workbooks.Open("C:\test\locatie.xlsx")
Worksheets("blad1").Select
Worksheets("blad1").Range("a1").Select
RowCount = Worksheets("blad1").Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
With Worksheets("blad1").Range("A1")
.Offset(RowCount, 0) = Data
End With
End Sub
Simple example to copy a sheet into a new file:
IF projectname = "x" THEN 'you have to define projectname
OldName = ThisWorkbook.Name 'name of your open file
Workbook.Add 'Open new file
newName = ActiveWorkbook.Name 'name of the new file
Windows(OldName).Activate 'original file select
Sheets("Sheetname").Activate 'define Sheetname of your original file
ActiveSheet.Select
ActiveSheet.Copy after:=Workbooks(newName).Sheets(1)
Windows(newName).Activate
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=filename1, FileFormat:=51, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False 'define filename1
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If

As pre-warning, I am new to using VBA.
I have scraped together the following code to do the following:
1. Locate the worksheet "Intrastat"
2. Copy the used range of this worksheet
3. Paste as values into a new workbook
4. Reformat dates in column B
5. Save the workbook with in the original workbook's location.
However this only works when I have the macro saved in the original workbook. What I need is to be able to have the macro saved in a different workbook and on running the macro I need to be able to select the "original" workbook from a file location on my HDD.
Any ideas?
The Current Code:
Sub TB_Intrastat_Data_Cleanse()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
Set TWKB = ThisWorkbook
Set sel = Selection
Dim folderPath As String
folderPath = Application.ThisWorkbook.Path
TWKB.Sheets("Intrastat").UsedRange.Copy
wb.Sheets(1).[a1].PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy;#"
nme = "TB Intrastat Data " & Range("A3") & " MTD"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=folderPath & nme
End Sub
You can use Application.GetOpenFilename() to prompt the user to browse through the file explorer, and open a file. It will then use that file as TWKB:
Sub TB_Intrastat_Data_Cleanse()
Dim wb As Workbook, TWKB As Workbook
Dim sel As Range
Dim nme As String
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
Set TWKB = Application.GetOpenFilename(Title:="Please choose a file to open", FileFilter:="Excel Files *.xls* (*.xls*),")
Set sel = Selection
Dim folderPath As String
folderPath = Application.ThisWorkbook.Path
TWKB.Sheets("Intrastat").UsedRange.Copy
wb.Sheets(1).[a1].PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Columns("B:B").NumberFormat = "dd/mm/yyyy;#"
nme = "TB Intrastat Data " & Range("A3") & " MTD"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=folderPath & nme
End Sub
Note: I would change ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs at the end to a workbook variable (or explicitly name the workbook), since you're using two separate ones you want to make sure it's saving the correct one.
right now I am trying to create an excel macro which should copy one worksheet from my workbook. This worksheet should be saved as a new Excel file named with the value from cell B1.
Everything works fine so far.
The problem is: I want that the copy is a back-up. So the values in the table (copy) should not be connected to the original table.
So to make it short: I just want to copy format+values but not the formulas from the table.
Do you have any ideas how I can make this work?
Private Sub Workbook_AfterSave(ByVal Success As Boolean)
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
Dim wbkExport As Workbook
Dim shtToExport As Worksheet
FPath = "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Artikelnummern"
FName = Worksheets("Test").Cells(1, 2).Value
Set shtToExport = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Test")
Set wbkExport = Application.Workbooks.Add
shtToExport.Copy Before:=wbkExport.Worksheets(wbkExport.Worksheets.Count)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False 'Possibly overwrite
without asking
wbkExport.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "\" & FName & ".xlsx"
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
wbkExport.Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub
Replace your line:
shtToExport.Copy Before:=wbkExport.Worksheets(wbkExport.Worksheets.Count)
With:
shtToExport.Cells.Copy
wbkExport.Worksheets(wbkExport.Worksheets.Count - 1).Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
wbkExport.Worksheets(wbkExport.Worksheets.Count - 1).Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteFormats
I have a VBA macro which allows me to export in CSV (using the comma as separator) some sheets of my excel file, in this case, first 7 sheets. I have following problems:
The code allows to export first 1 - n sheets, but I would like to put the code to select sheets by name. In this case I could also export the sheet 1, called "MILANO" and the sheet 5, called "ROME".
I cannot find the way to save the CSV files automatically in the same folder of the source excel file. I used ActiveWorkbook.Path or ThisWorkbook.Path, but I guess I wrong something
I cannot export only rows of each sheet not-empty as in the CSV I see hundreds of rows with ,,,,,,,,,
Here the macro:
Sub CreateCSV()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'-----------------------------
'DECLARE AND SET VARIABLES
Dim wb1 As Workbook, ws1 As Worksheet
Dim wbname As String, I As Integer
Set wb1 = ThisWorkbook
'-----------------------------
'CYCLE THROUGH SHEETS AND MATCH UPLOAD
For I = 1 To 7
wbname = Worksheets(I).Name
'-----------------------------
'COPY SHEET INTO NEW CSV FILE
Worksheets(I).Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "/" & wbname & "/.csv", _
FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
wb1.Activate
Next I
'-----------------------------
'CLEANUP
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Thanks!
try this for your point 2
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=wb1.Path & "\" & wbname & ".csv", _
With regards to accessing you sheets by name you can do this,
set sh = ThisWorkBook.Sheets("MILANO")
but since you would want to loop through your sheets anyway, you need have an array with you sheet names like so,
Dim mySheets as Variant
Dim sh as WorkSheet
Dim I as Long
mySheets=Array("MILANO" , "MONACO", "ROME")
For I = 0 to UBound(mySheets)
Set sh = ThisWorkBook.Sheets(mySheets(I))
sh.SaveAs FileName:=ThisWorkBook.Path & "\" & mySheets(I), _
FileFormat:=xlCSV
Next I
So you need to use the WorkSheet.SaveAs and not the WorkBook.SaveAs
as far as "I cannot export only rows of each sheet not-empty as in the CSV I see hundreds of rows with ,,,,,,,,," Perhaps you need to cleanup the Worksheet first
I appreciate there are lots of entries like save individual excel sheets as csv
and Export each sheet to a separate csv file - But I want to save a single worksheet in a workbook.
My code in my xlsm file has a params and data sheet. I create a worksheet copy of the data with pasted values and then want to save it as csv. Currently my whole workbook changes name and becomes a csv.
How do I "save as csv" a single sheet in an Excel workbook?
Is there a Worksheet.SaveAs or do I have to move my data sheet to another workbook and save it that way?
CODE SAMPLE
' [Sample so some DIMs and parameters passed in left out]
Dim s1 as Worksheet
Dim s2 as Worksheet
Set s1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(strSourceSheet)
' copy across
s1.Range(s1.Cells(1, 1), s1.Cells(lastrow, lastcol)).Copy
' Create new empty worksheet for holding values
Set s2 = Worksheets.Add
s2.Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats
' save sheet
s2.Activate
strFullname = strPath & strFilename
' >>> BIT THAT NEEDS FIXIN'
s2.SaveAs Filename:=strFullname, _
FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=True
' Can I do Worksheets.SaveAs?
Using Windows 10 and Office 365
This code works fine for me.
Sub test()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(strSourceSheet).Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strFullname, FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=True
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
It's making a copy of the entire strSourceSheet sheet, which opens a new workbook, which we can then save as a .csv file, then it closes the newly saved .csv file, not messing up file name on your original file.
This is fairly generic
Sub WriteCSVs()
Dim mySheet As Worksheet
Dim myPath As String
'Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each mySheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
myPath = "\\myserver\myfolder\"
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(mySheet.Index).Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=myPath & mySheet.Name, FileFormat:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=True
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Next mySheet
'Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
You just need to save the workbook as a CSV file.
Excel will pop up a dialog warning that you are saving to a single sheet, but you can suppress the warning with Application.DisplayAlerts = False.
Don't forget to put it back to true though.
Coming to this question several years later, I have found a method that works much better for myself. This is because the worksheet(s) I'm trying to save are large and full of calculations, and they take an inconvenient amount of time to copy to a new sheet.
In order to speed up the process, it saves the current worksheet and then simply reopens it, closing the unwanted .csv window:
Sub SaveThisSheetInParticular()
Dim path As String
path = ThisWorkbook.FullName
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Worksheets("<Sheet Name>").SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.path & "\<File Name>", FileFormat:=xlCSV
Application.Workbooks.Open (path)
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Workbooks("<File Name>.csv").Close
End Sub
Here the Sheet and csv filename are hardcoded, since nobody but the macro creator (me) should be messing with them. However, it could just as easily be changed to store and use the Active Sheet name in order to export the current sheet whenever the macro is called.
Note that you can do this with multiple sheets, you simply have to use the last filename in the close statement:
Worksheets("<Sheet 1>").SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.path & "\<File 1>", FileFormat:=xlCSV
Worksheets("<Sheet 2>").SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.path & "\<File 2>", FileFormat:=xlCSV
[...]
Workbooks("<File 2>.csv").Close
I am trying to come up with code that will make copies of all the worksheets in a given workbook. Seems simple enough, right? A little Google searching and I cobbled together the following code:
Sub Commandbutton1_click()
Dim Cnt As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim Sht1 As String
Dim MyChoice As String
Dim MyFile As String
Dim CurrWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim Month As String
'Instructional message box
MsgBox "When the 'Open' dialog appears, select the workbook containing the worksheets you want to split and then click Ok."
'Get file name
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Show
MyChoice = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
MyFile = Dir(MyChoice)
Set CurrWorkBook = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=MyFile)
CurrWorkBook.Activate
Cnt = Sheets.Count
InputMsg = "Enter the month of the EOM Budget Review:"
InputTitle = "Month"
Month = InputBox(InputMsg, InputTitle)
For i = 1 To Cnt Step 1
Sht1 = Sheets(i).Name
Sheets(Array(Sht1)).Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Sht1 & " - " & Month & " EOM Budget Review.xlsx", _
FileFormat:=51, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Next i
CurrWorkBook.Save
CurrWorkBook.Close
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
It works perfectly...except when it doesn't. In some workbooks, it will copy every sheet with no difficulty. In some workbooks, it will copy some of the sheets, but throw the "Copy method of Sheets class failed" unless you have it skip certain sheets. I have not been able to figure out what the sheets it will not copy have in common. Is there some way I can improve this code? Are there certain features of worksheets that will cause this kind of code to fail inevitably?
Solved thanks to Alex P.'s comment above. I copied the following code from another forum:
Sub UnhideAll()
Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In Worksheets
WS.Visible = True
Next
End Sub
Then I used Call UnhideAll right after Application.ScreenUpdating = False. I also used CurrWorkBook.Close savechanges:=False at the end so that the workbook being copied would not be saved and its hidden worksheets would go back to being hidden.
