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 initially used the code (below) to compile data from 15 worksheets into a "template" sheet. It does this very well-- however, the needs of the workbook have changed somewhat.
Rather than copying this data into a relative location (the first empty cell in "template" column A), I now need to arrange the data into set locations, offset by 25 on each loop.
Ex:
wks 1 copy to A3 /
wks 2 copy to A28 /
wks 3 copy to A53 / etc
I have been trying to troubleshoot, but I'm still very weak when it comes to loops. Can anyone help me out?
Sub test()
Dim wks As Worksheet
For Each wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not wks.Name = "template" Then
wks.Range("B6:B30").Copy
ActiveSheet.Paste
Destination:=Worksheets("template").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1)
End If
Next
End Sub
Try this. Assume the copied data is never more than 24 rows?
Sub test()
Dim wks As Worksheet, r As Range
Set r = Worksheets("template").Range("A3") 'initial paste range
For Each wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not wks.Name = "template" Then
wks.Range("B6:B30").Copy r
Set r = r.Offset(25) 'move down 25
End If
Next
End Sub

It runs at all, but if there is another worksheet ( and there is another) named "IT*" it will replace the copied files cause of the non relative output cell destination.
I want to continue with the new worksheet data at the end of the last copied data.
Hope you get what im trying to explain.
I propose you the following refactoring of your code
Sub transferAP(sourceSht As Worksheet)
With Worksheets("Berechnung_Personal") '<--| reference target sheet
With .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1) '<--| reference its column A first empty cell after last not empty one)
sourceSht.Range("C3").Copy .Cells(1,1)
sourceSht.Range("E9").Copy .Cells(2,1)
sourceSht.Range("G9").Copy .Cells(3,1)
.... and so on: keep in mind that .Cells(1,1) syntax assumes the referenced range as the starting cell
End With
End With
End Sub
And your main sub will call it as follows:
transferAP ws
This is your new Main sub. It is basically unchanged from your earlier code, but I have specified Wb to be ThisWorkbook. You may like to specify another.
Sub Main()
Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim Ws As Worksheet
Dim R As Long
Set Wb = ThisWorkbook
For Each Ws In Wb.Worksheets
If Ws.Name Like "IT*" Then
TransferAP Ws, R ' pass the Ws to the sub
End If
Next Ws
End Sub
In your TransferAP I have also specified ThisWorkbook as the workbook where the target worksheet "Berechnung_Personal" is found. Excel presumes the ActiveWorkbook if no specification is made. Note that ThisWorkbook needs not be the ActiveWorkbook. ThisWorkbook is the Workbook that contains the code. The ActiveWorkbook is the last workbook you looked at before switching to the VBE window or the workbook you activated using code thereafter.
Sub TransferAP(Ws As Worksheet, R As Long)
' 21 Mar 2017
Dim WsTarget As Worksheet
Dim Sources() As String ' List of source cells
Dim i As Integer ' index for Sources
Set WsTarget = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Berechnung_Personal")
If R = 0 Then R = 3 ' row 3 is the first row to use
Sources = Split("E9,E24,E39,M3,M18,M33,U3,U18,U33", ",")
For i = 0 To UBound(Sources)
With WsTarget
.Cells(R, 1).Value = Ws.Range("C3").Value
.Cells(R, 2).Value = Ws.Range(Sources(i)).Value
.Cells(R, 3).Value = Ws.Range(Sources(i)).Offset(0, 2).Value
.Cells(R, 4).Value = Ws.Range(Sources(i)).Offset(2, 2).Value
End With
R = R + 1
Next i
End Sub
The TransferAP returns the final value of R to the Main. So, when the next source worksheet is found R will continue counting from where it left off - I hope. I didn't test the loop.
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
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!
Richard
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 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.
