I have the following question: A member from this forum yesterday provided a very good solution to my problem. I have two similar excel workbooks with more than 100 sheets in each, with the same sheet names. I wanted VBA to copy the data from sheet A in workbook A to sheet B in workbook B.
Sub GetDate()
Dim workbookA As Workbook, workbookB As Workbook, sheetA As Worksheet, sheetB As Worksheet, ws As Worksheet, sheetName As String
Set workbookA = Workbooks("clients.xls")
Set workbookB = Workbooks("KYC.xls")
'Loop through each worksheet in Book A
For Each ws In workbookB.Worksheets
Set sheetA = workbookA.Worksheets(ws.Name)
Set sheetB = workbookB.Worksheets(ws.Name)
sheetA.Range("C5").Copy sheetB.Range("E31")
Next
End Sub
I want to use it agan to get another values from another cell and insert it on workbookB on the approprate sheet each time. The problem is that on workbook A the cell I want to copy is a merged cell and so is the destination cell. I tried to give a name to each of the merged cells but I can't seem to make it. Can someone help if it can be solved?
thank you
Try
sheetA.Range("C5").MergeArea.Copy ' copies the merged cells that include C5
sheetB.Range("E31").PasteSpecial ' pastes what was copied into E31 and any merged cells it is part of

Sub Save7()
Dim NextRow As Range
Set NextRow = Range("AC" & Sheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Rows.Count)
Sheet3.Range("AC14:AG14").Copy
Sheet1.Activate
NextRow.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Set NextRow = Nothing
End Sub
My purpose of this code is to copy data ( Five columns of 'NO' in AC14 to AG14) from sheet 3 and paste to sheet 1 where the last active cell is at.
The code above is working well, however I made some modification to the sheet tab name for sheet 1. Sheet 1 is now called "Equipment stuffs", while sheet 3 name is remaining unchanged.
After those changes, the macro stopped working. The cause is probably because I don't know how to declare "Equipment stuffs" in the code .
There's no need to do copy/paste to move data from one place on the spreadsheet to another. You should simply assign the Value of the respective Range objects, for example:
Sheet1.Range("NamedRange2").Value = Sheet1.Range("NamedRange2").Value
Also, use code names for the sheets, instead of Sheets("SheetName"), and defined named for the ranges, instead of Range("AC14:AG14", otherwise your code will stop working if the user renames the sheet or inserts or deletes any rows above your reference.
If you want to automate this a little you could collect the active workbook and loop through each sheet using wb.Worksheets. Then collect the name with targetSheet.Name.
Option Explicit
Public Sub getSheet()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim targetSheet As Worksheet
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
For Each targetSheet In wb.Worksheets
Debug.Print targetSheet.Name
Next targetSheet
End Sub
I’m brazilian hehe, I understood your question , I’ve a code for alter the data in same worksheet (I’ll attach it here), for you to change the data in another worksheet, you need put on:
Worksheets("NameWorkSheet) Activate
for the VBA that’s refers to this tab.
I am trying to create a cover sheet for an excel workbook, the user will populate these cells then a macro will paste them across all worksheets inside the workbook.
The cover sheet asks for information in cells from column D and column I which could be common across the whole workbook. I am trying to make filling out this workbook faster and easier.
I have a basic understanding of Excel VBA but require help to write this, thank you.
You code use something like this
Sub Main
Dim cellsToCopy As Range
Dim shtNames as Variant, shtName As Variant
Set cellsToCopy = Worksheets("CoverSheet").Range("D5, D11, I3, I12") '<--| change both "CoverSheet" name and its cells address list to fit your needs
shtNames = Array("firstSheet", "secondSheet", "thirdSheet") '<--| change sheets names to paste cellsToCopy values into
For Each shtName in shtNames
Worksheets(shtName).Range(cellsToCopy.Address).Value = cellsToCopy.Value
Next shtName
End Sub
I'm very new to VBA macros and have taught myself some code but I'm struggling with my current piece of work and can't find the answer I am looking for.
I want to copy a range of cells (B3:N21) from one workbook to another "master" workbook - which seems simple enough - but I would like it to copy into a blank/new worksheet in the Master copy every time the Macro is run.
The range contains formulas, I would only need the values copied to the Master workbook.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C1:C5").Copy
Worksheets("Sheet2").activate
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("D1:D5").PasteSpecial _
Operation:=xlPasteSpecialOperationAdd
End With
I think you only need paste special, this is an example
try this
Option Explicit
Sub main()
Dim masterWb As Workbook
Dim mySht As Worksheet
Set mySht = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet '<~~ assuming you're copying values from active worksheet of the workbook the macro resides in
' beware: if you start the macro while the active sheet is not the one you want, this will lead to unespected results
Set masterWb = Workbooks("Master") '<~~ Change "Master" with whatever name your master workbook must have
' beware: we're assuming "Master" workbook is already open, otherwise this line will throw an error
With masterWb.Worksheets.Add
.Range("B3:N21").Value = mySht.Range("B3:N21").Value
End With
End Sub
mind the comments
the code above can be reduce to a much less verbose (and self explanatory, too) one like follows
Sub main2()
Workbooks("Master").Worksheets.Add.Range("B3:N21").Value = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("B3:N21").Value
End Sub
where apply the same comments of the lengthy code, which is:
assuming you're copying values from active worksheet of the workbook the macro resides in
beware: if you start the macro while the active sheet is not the one you want, this will lead to unespected results
change "Master" with whatever name your master workbook must have
beware: we're assuming "Master" workbook is already open, otherwise an error would be thrown
I’d need to write a short VBA script for the following situation. The workbook contains multiple sheets. The first sheet is the summary sheet. After the summary sheet there is an irregular number of sheets that contain the information I would like to display on the summary sheet. The information is always in “Column B”. The script should copy “Column B” of each sheet and paste it to the next empty column in the summary sheet. In other words, it should copy “Column B” in “Sheet 2” and paste it to the next empty column in “Sheet 1”, then copy “Column B” in “Sheet 3” and paste again to the next empty column in “Sheet 1”, etc. etc.
All the help is appreciated, thank you!
You will need to declare a Worksheet type variable (e.g. Dim ws As Worksheet), to loop by a For Each ws In Activeworkbook.Worksheets ... Next ws. Then you need to define which sheet is the master sheet. I recommend once again a Worksheet, e.g. Set wsMain = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Summary").
To complete it use a
wsMain.Cells.Find("*",SearchOrder:=xlByColumns,SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column
to tell you the index of the last used column in your summary sheet. You can either store it in a variable then increase it by one in your loop or run it in your loop (not resource-efficient but who cares about that two milliseconds).
You can reference columns by index which in your case will be ws.Cells.Columns(2) and wsMain.Cells.Columns(LastColumn + 1).
Have fun writing your code, I hope I could help!
This worked:
Sub NextWsToNextEmptyColumn()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Cells.Columns(2).Copy Sheets(1).Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Offset(, 1)
Next ws
End Sub
Is it possible to activate a sheet in an opened workbook through VBA without knowing it's name? I'm opening a workbook using application.getfileopenname and reading data from it, but some of the workbooks have the data on the second sheet, instead of the first. Is there anyway I could switch the active worksheet to the second sheet?
Dim wsData As Worksheet
Set wsData = Sheets(1)
'If the Range doesn't have the value you are looking for switch sheets
If wsData.Range("A1").Value <> "MyExpectedData" Then Set wsData = Sheets(2)
