I need to be able to extract particular named columns from multiple files and then populate them in a new excel workbook. Ideally, this would allow me to specify the file directory, the column of interest (based on standardized names), and then run the macro. If this could be done but I would need to have the excel workbooks open to extract the data, that's not a problem (not sure on this). In the multiple workbooks, the data of interest are all on worksheets that have the exact same name, and the column names in Row 1 of those worksheets are all consistently named the same.
Ideally, in the new workbook I need the Row1 column names to contain the source file name from which the data in each respective column came from (with what I'm needing to do all of the extracted data will be the same parameter, e.g., water quality pH values stored in columns from 20 excel files all in the same file directory). Attached are two examples of the many files I have in this format. The worksheet containing the data of interest is called "Station_Comprehensive_Cleaned". In this case, an example column to be extracted from the latter named worksheet in each example workbook and pasted into a new workbook (hopefully/ideally with the respective source workbook file name as the column name) is Column 34 called "Solids_Dissolved"
The following code won't let me copy from the first workbook. I get a run time 1004 error stating "That command cannot be used on multiple selections".
I would rather not have to copy this by column for each of the 4 workbooks
this may or may not be easy for some of you but its driving me nuts. Here's what I need to do.
1.Create a new workbook
2.Cycle through multiple workbooks and all worksheets within each workbook (all in the same folder). All workbooks will have the same structure.
3.Take the worksheet names and put them in rows
4.Take the data from the first column (column A) from the first worksheet of the first workbook and put them across the top (i.e. transpose the data). The first column will be the same in all workbooks so it doesn't matter where I get it from.
5.Copy the data from column E from each worksheet and paste them in rows in the new workbook (again transpose) corresponding to each worksheet.
6. Perform simple mathematical calculations at the end of each row.
I expect to have approximately 26 workbooks with a total of 7000 worksheets. In the target workbook (i.e. the new one), I expect there to be 7000 rows (corresponding to the 7000 worksheets) and about 260 columns.
The only reason I need to transpose stuff is because Excel 2007 doesn't have 7000 columns.
Here's an example of what it would look like. Example worksheet (Input)- Worksheet ABC Col A Col E 1/1/2004 $25 1/8/2004 $30 1/15/2004 $15
Imagine another worksheet called LMN with the same ColA but different values in Col E.
Output workbook ColA Columns B Column C Column D Sheet 1/1/2004 1/8/ 2004 1/15/2004 ABC $25 $30 $15 LMN $xxx $yyy $zzz
I want create a macro which will extract 6 values (see below) from a workbook tab called summary to an master workbook for reporting purposes. Each workbook has a unique file name e,g ACI1150.
Values on sheet SUMMARY: A1 A2 A3 G21 G24 G26
I tried to adapt the below to get one item copied/extracted. However it would no work.
I am new to using macros
Sub GetG26s() Dim MyDir As String, FN As String, SN As String, NR As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False
I have a set of workbooks, with multiple sheets within each which I receive each month from field units. The formats are identical.
What I want to do is to extract data from one column on one specific sheet within each workbook to a summary sheet on a new workbook. In the snapshot below, I would like to collect data from the "Actual" column (in yellow) and then paste it on a summary sheet.
Monthly reportingEntity 13. Risk reportingJanuaryMarket Risks - LoansJanuaryTargetActualVarNumber of competitors 110%Market share 1%1%0%Ranking in market 110%Concentration of portfolio – region-wise (number)1%1%0%Concentration of portfolio – region-wise (value)1%1%0%Market growth rate 1%1%0%Inflation rate 1%1%0%
This would appear in a new summary worksheet as below: (the cell labelled "Entity 1" would then appear as the column header in the summary sheet.)
Monthly reporting - summary sheet3. Risk reportingTarget rangeEntity 1Entity 2Entity 3Market Risks - LoansActualActualActualNumber of competitors 1Market share 1%Ranking in market 1Concentration of portfolio – region-wise (number)1%Concentration of portfolio – region-wise (value)1%Market growth rate 1%Inflation rate 1%
The steps I imagine are: 1. Open all workbooks in a specified folder (folder name upon prompt) 2. Search each workbook for a sheet titled "Risk Reporting" 3. Copy the specified cell (for the column header) and the specified column into a new sheet in a new workbook 4. Move on to fill up the next column, and so on ...
Also is there a way to order the copying so that the columns always line up in a specified order? (e.g. Entity 1, followed by 2, followed by 3 ...). One way I guess is to fix the column headers in my summary sheet, and then fetch the data from the corresponding worksheet, by matching the names.
I am attempting to move data between two spreadsheets and have written a macro that initially copies one cell E2 then pastes it correctly into another workbook. I now need to modify the macro to include additional ranges. E2, E3, G2, H2, N1 to U3. I am stuck to the best method of selecting these ranges and then pasting them as I cannot get it to work. I have included a copy of the code below.
Sub getdata() Dim filename, fileselected Dim a1(1 To 20) Dim WB As Workbook ChDrive ("g:") ChDir ("G:Folder name") fileselected = Application. GetOpenFilename("Excel Files, *.xls", , "Select your Files", , True) If StrComp(TypeName(fileselected), "Boolean", vbTextCompare) = 0 Then ChDrive ("g:") Exit Sub End If.......................
I have a database from which I extract 5 different excel files. For arguments sake, they are called File 1, File 2 etc. Each of these workbooks will have a sheet called 'Raw Data'. These will all be save in the one directory, C:Data, for example.
I am after a macro that can copy all the data from each of the workbooks, on the sheets called 'Raw Data, however the data in each of the workbooks will vary in length and width.
The workbook which I want them copied to is called "Template" and I would like the copied data onto separate sheets in this file. If possible I would like them copied to already named sheets, for example in the "Template" file, sheets may be called "Raw Data1", "Raw Data2" etc.
I found a great code for copying worksheets from multiple workbooks (up to 2000 workbooks) into one new workbook. It works perfectly for 99% of the copying/merging that i do. The only issue with the code is that it only copies from the active sheet in the other workbooks. I need it to copy from a specific sheet ("Travel") in all of the workbooks that i select. I've tried many ways to edit the code to change the activesheet to "Travel" but i cannot get it to work.

In a folder I have a group of approx 30 workbooks which each contain up to 200 worksheets. All the worksheets contain a set of formulas in the range FR1:FT30. I now need to update these formulas.
I have a precedent file called prec.xls & i need to copy the range FR1:FT30 from this file to all the worksheets in workbooks i have described above.
I have a master workbook that has three sheets: Application, Equipment, Storage. I have over 500 other workbooks that have those same three sheets in them. Those workbooks also have other worksheets that I do not want. How can I create a macro that will open every one of those workbooks and copy over the data from each one of those 3 sheets into it's counter part in the master workbook?
- 1 contains tabs for each day of the month and each tab contains a couple of big tables.
- the other is where I want to gather certain data from the first workbook, selection should be made via a condition. I want to copy not the entire row that meets the criteria but lets say the first 4 cells of the row that meets the criteria (code below still copy's entire row, if you also have the code for my goal I would apreciate it very much).
The next part of code is what i've found on the internet and i'm trying to rebuild it to my situation, the biggest problem is the extarnal link to the 1st workbook sheet it seems to hang there everytime. If I copy a part of the table to a empty sheet in the 2nd workbook just linking to that sheet works so the problem is with the external linking what am I doing wrong?
Sub SearchForString() Dim LSearchRow As Integer Dim LCopyToRow As Integer On Error Goto Err_Execute LSearchRow = 4 'Start copying data to row 2 in Sheet2 (row counter variable) LCopyToRow = 2 Sheets("[D:Sudden Death BestandenCHC NetherlandsFuelFuel2007januari.xls]1!").Select While Len(Range("A" & CStr(LSearchRow)).Value) > 0.........................
Currently i am looking for a macro to combine information in different workbooks but on the same sheetname. In every single workbook i have a worksheet with a single row of information which has to be added to one big file. In stead of doing all 200 manually i would like vba to select this particular range, copy it and paste them under eachother in one single worksheet in a different workbook. Is this possible?
for examble book 1, sheet 1 has all the data in rang a1 till z1. this has to be copied to the masterfile under a1. this goes on from book 1 till book 200.
As an answer to a post about vba script for consolidating workbooks based upon pre-defined cells,
Sub ConsolidateDate() Dim wbDst As Workbook Dim wbSrc As Workbook Dim wsDst As Worksheet Dim wsSrc As Worksheet Dim I As Long Set wbDst = ThisWorkbook Set wsDst = wbDst.ActiveSheet With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch .FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks .LookIn = "C:Myfolder" For I = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count Set wbSrc = Workbooks.Open(.FoundFiles(I)) Set wsSrc = wbSrc.Worksheets("Data") wsDst. Range("A" & I) = wsSrc.Range("A2") wsDst.Range("B" & I) = wsSrc.Range("C6") wsDst.Range("C" & I) = wsSrc.Range("D7") wsDst.Range("D" & I) = Dir(.FoundFiles(I)) Next I End With End Sub
I was hoping someone could translate the meaning of this code for me, I am a beginner with using VBA and I am trying to write VBA script for a similar task I am working on. The references to cells A2, C6 and D7 were used as an example of cells to be copied.
I have approx. 35 workbooks similar to the attached in a single directory. Each workbook has 3 tabs named Help, Example and Template. I need to copy the 36 Template tabs into one new workbook. I would also like to rename each tab in the new workbook based on the text in cell A1 of the originating Template tab. M
I'm trying to set up an excel that will allow me to gather data from multiple workbooks and get it into one master worksheet. All of the worksheets are formatted the same way (See below)
Employee Last Name Employee First Name Employee Position Employee Series Number Departing City Departing State Attended Pilot Training?
We don't have the data yet so the idea is to paste this information into their perspective worksheets and then have them automatically populate into the master tab.
I'm trying to copy data from multiple spreadsheets into one summary spreadsheet. Each spreadsheet that I'm looking to copy data from is stored within a folder, named as a date, within a sharepoint site.
Each report is named as 'Report to PMT from Vauxhall', 'Report to PMT from Ford', 'Report to PMT from Fait' etc etc. and the format of each report is exactly the same.
From the attachments you will see that I'm trying to copy the following from the Report to PMT from Vauxhall to Summary Report:
Report to PMT from Vauxhall Cell D11 to Cell D19 of the Summary Report Report to PMT from Vauxhall Cell E11 to Cell D19 of the Summary Report Report to PMT from Vauxhall Cell F11 to Cell D19 of the Summary Report Report to PMT from Ford Cell D11 to Cell D20 of the Summary Report Report to PMT from Ford Cell E11 to Cell D20 of the Summary Report Report to PMT from Ford Cell F11 to Cell D20 of the Summary Report etc. etc.
I about 150 different workbooks that I need to copy the cell data from the first sheet to a second workbook
The code is running all the way through to the "Clear values?" pop-up box, BUT nothing is actually being pasted into my second workbook

I have a typical scenario. I have a sheet in WB1 as Sheet 1 and I need to copy this sheet into multiple workbooks in a folder on the desktop and save the files too.
Is there a macro that would resolve this?
I have a constraint here, the macro should not be activated in any of the workbooks as I would using a tool which has VB as the backend and there would be a conflict when executing.
I have to report on 6 departments each with 6 sub departments weekly. First I need to consolidate 6 ( move/copy worksheet to consolidated workbook using a macro) separate worksheets (all saved in the same folder) per department into single workbook (preferably generated automatically by macro/code). I then need to repeat the above process for another 6 files per sub department. The output files should be pasted as "values" while retaining all other formatting. In essence I need to automate the whole right click on tab, select move or copy worksheet function in excel to take the load out of doing it manually.
I have a created a main workbook with a macro that opens workbooks on a particular sheet from a list of workbook paths and filenames in the main workbook. The macro are suppose to copy the sheet and paste it into a sheet with a new name that I have defined from the list in the main workbook. I can get the macro to open the workbooks and close them. But I can't get the macro to copy the sheet into the main workbook.
I have attached the code and the workbook. I used slet_ark to delete previous sheet and hentark and henttekstfil to open the different workbooks.
The code I use are:
Public Sub Slet_ark() Dim ark() As Variant Dim Counter As Long Dim FirstSheet As Long Dim LastSheet As Long
Is there anyway to simplify multiple copy and paste from one workbook to another when there are multiple and different size of data to copy. this is what i have done below. It was a bit tiedious writing it all out
I have multiple excel files from which I would like to copy specific ranges to a master file. The row should add up to the previous rows. From this side I have no problems things work fine. The problem is to copy the header which remains the same data to the top of the master file. Currently the macro I use overwrite the first line of the master file. So I loose the date from one of the excel files.
I am attempting my first working macro. I am currently using Excel 2010 on Windows XP. Here is what I am attempting: I need a very user friendly macro that will allow my staff to click on a button to run the macro. Each month they receive multiple workbooks from one of our clients. The workbooks are always stored in the same location. I need the macro to go in and pick up the first worksheet of each workbook and copy it into a new workbook. Each original sheet1 of each workbook should have its own sheet in the new workbook, i.e. if there are 5 original workbooks then the macro should create one workbook with 5 sheets. Here is the programming I have been using:
Sub GetSheets() Path = "C:Documents and Settingse462863My Documents utterblotter" Filename = Dir(Path & "*.xls") Do While Filename "" Workbooks.Open Filename:=Path & Filename, ReadOnly:=True For Each Sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets Sheet.Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1) Next Sheet Workbooks(Filename).Close Filename = Dir() Loop End Sub
This works, but I am running into a few problems. I need to create a "run" button but I'm unsure how to build it. Also, when I run this macro there are tons of extra sheets and the worksheets tend to duplicate. I am wondering if the "loop" is picking up more than I need.
Objective: use VB to copy the first sheet (tab) from every Excel file in a specific folder to a new sheet/tab (for each) in a master spreadsheet. I will then aggregate this data into a summary table.
Following the advice of an old thread (Access: VBA combining multiple excel files to 1 new sheet), one time for each file in the folder. So with three excel files in the folder, I get 3 new tabs in my master spreadsheet but all are copies of the first tab in the master spreadsheet.
I'm wondering if maybe the code, which was in a post from 5 years ago, needs to be "modernized" for Excel 2007. Thanks for any help.
This is the code I'm using:
Sub Combine()
Fpath = "C: emp2" ' change to suit your directory Fname = Dir(FilePth & "*.xls")
Do While Fname <> "" Workbooks.Open Fpath & Fname Sheets(1).Copy After:=Workbooks("Master.xlsm").Sheets(Workbooks("Master.xlsm").Sheets.Count) Workbooks(Fname).Close SaveChanges:=False Fname = Dir Loop
I have 77 excel workbooks that are created each week, they are all in the same directory. I have to open each one and copy the data into a single workbook. The file names change slightly each week.
example: DIST_91124_GROWTH_PRODUCT XXX _07072006.xls The 07072006 is the week ending date and will change. Each of the 77 files has a different DIST_number.
Is there a way to automate this process, it takes me about 4 hours to do it manually.
