Copying Instances From One Workbook To Another
Jan 12, 2008
I have two workbooks, a "vehicle workbook" and an "Oil sample" workbook. I'm trying to write a macro that will store the ID of the vehcile in "vehicle workbook" into a varible, open the Oil sample workbook and find instances of the vehicle ID in column B. Next it will copy the entire row, and paste it back into the "vehicle workbook". I've taken some code and modified it to try and make it work but I'm running into problems. I'm very much a newbie to excel and macro's and am learning little by little. This is what I have so far...
Option Explicit
Sub btnFind_Click()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim vehicleNumber As Variant
Dim sourceLocation As String
Dim sourceFileName As String
Dim fileName As String
Dim vehicleFileName As String
'referencing the workbook location of the vehicle
vehicleFileName = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
MsgBox (vehicleFileName)
'copying the vehicle number into memory ie.EFQRTS67WZ100121
vehicleNumber = ActiveSheet. Range("A13").Value.....................

I have a program that has all Excel Workbooks in seperate instances of Excel. There is a very sound reason for doing this.
The user has maybe 3 to 10 workbooks open. There are times when a workbook is active and has a Macro Link to open one of the already open workbooks.
When the user clicks the link, they naturally get an error message stating that the workbook is already open. Then they have to close the error msg and click on the Macrosoft Tab and look thru the list of open workbooks and then click the one they are looking for. Additionally, in this Menu Program the user really doesn't even have to know the name of the various workbooks.
I hope everyone will believe me when I state that this program works berautifully.
Right now I am simply cleaning up and making a few little things work better.
QUESTION When the user clicks on a macro link that is to open a workbook that is already open, how - On error - can I have the macro continue on and activate the requested workbook - - - Please remember they are all in separate instances of Excel.
Since the code I'm using can determine if the requested workbook is already open, I think there has to be a way to activate that workbook.

Consider two instances of Excel - one with a workbook containing a chart and some VBA code, the other containing a blank workbook. When I paste a chart from the first instance of Excel to the other, all the VBA code from the original workbook is also pasted into a new third hidden workbook in the second instance of Excel! If that weren't weird enough ON WINDOWS XP (but not Windows 2000) if the VBA code included WorkbookOpen or AutoOpen this code is executed in the second instance of Excel, which of course fails if it references sheets that only existed in the workbook open in the first instance of Excel! This is the first time I've seen the same version of Excel do different things on different versions of Windows! Example attached - What's going on!? Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;...note: this does not happen when pasting charts between workbooks open in the SAME instance of Excel

I'm using WinXP with Excel 2003 - I have a column of highway sign description data (16k+ rows).
Example:
Curve Arrow Right
Curve Arrow Left
Turn Arrow
Reversing Curve Arrow Right
Winding Road Arrow(plus many more unique entries)
I'm using SUM and COUNTIF to total the number of times "Curve", "Reversing", "Turn" and "Winding" appear in the column.
My formula is:
Code: =SUM(COUNTIF($F11:$F16196,{"*CURVE*","*REVERSING*","*TURN*","*WINDING*"}))
Which works great EXCEPT what I really want is the number of cells with any of those key words, not the total count of those words. The example above should be 5, but since row four contains more that 1 of the key words I'm getting 6.

Please see attached files.
Book1.xlsx
test.xlsm
I am trying to copy the emf image object from "Book1" into the "test" workbook whilst the test workbook is open and Book1 is closed. The code I have put together currently sort of works, I mean that it copies the text data over but does not copy the object which is what I require.

So I basically have a template workbook that the code is stored in. I need it to pull an entire row if Column C in workbook "rawdata" contains specific text, in this case "PRCH - Purchase".I have never had to do anything like this before, it has always been working in the same workbook. It's failing at the 'mp = ...' line every time. There might be other errors in the code too, I just cannot resolve the first one!

I am trying to automate the process of filling out monthly reports and I have run into a problem I just cannot seem to work around.
These reports contain both weekly and monthly information, but because most months do not end on a friday or begin on a monday I have to have a couple of the week reports as partial weeks (e.g. April ended on a Thursday and so that week's report has both April 27-30 and May 1). When the first week of the next month's report runs I would like it to prompt the user to locate the last month's report, open the report, find week 5 of that report and copy the relevant data into the current month's report. (Hopefully that explanation is sufficient)
What I am running into is, after prompting for and opening the past month's report I am trying to select the Range A137:I232 on Sheet5 but instead the previous month's report just opens to wherever it was when it was last saved and won't select any ranges I tell it to, it just selects the range it was on last time it was saved. It will then copy that range and paste it into the Current Month's report.
below is my code ...

I have "wbThis" as the original workbook to be pasted to and "wbTarget" as the workbook that is being opened and copied from. (2 different workbooks). I have written a code for the user to chose the workbook (wbTarget) to open and copying the data from (the getopenfilename). I want to paste these values to the "wbThis" worksheet. The code is running, however it does not copy paste the values from one workbook to another, and it is not giving me an error either.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim wbTarget As Workbook
Dim wbThis As Workbook

I have two spreadsheets LocalTime (saved on everyones local pc)
Admin which is (saved centrally)
IThe spreadsheets are a timesheet to be filled in by all staff.
At the end of the month they will upload the data to the central copy
Which in turn writes the data to a master sheet and removes there name from a list.
I can copuy the data from the Admin sheet (central sheet to the master list and remove the name)
My problem is copying the local copy (certain ranges only) to the Admin version.
I have named ranges and this is one of the problems as when i did get it sort of working it kept asking which range to inclue from which sheet.
Then i sis something and i know get error 1004.
the code i used so far is as follows
Private sub upload_click()
Appliction.ScreenUpdating = False
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsshaunmMy DocumentsDemoAdmin.xls"
Windows("LocalTime.xls").Activate
Range("D6:F6").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Admin.xls").Activate
Sheets("Timesheet").Select
Range("D6:F6").Select

#in order of priority
#1 So what I want to do is copy multiple rows from a table into another table, but only info from column a,b and c of that row into the other workbook's table. So I need to search for the number that is in E1 of workbook#1 and pull the rows that have that number from anywhere down column E of workbook#2. But I only want the info from cells a,b and c of the rows to transfer over.
#2 Also how to pull that off on all the sheets 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and twelve of workbook#2's column E's into one list in workbook#1.
#3 How to put a button for the macro so if I change the value in E1 I can just hit it to repopulate the workbook#1 with a new list.
#4 How to pull from page 1-12 of workbook#2 but also a workbook#3 as well.

I have a workbook with 2 worksheets. On sheet 1 (Roster) is a list of names; on sheet 2 (Summaries) is a set of calculations.
I want to create multiple copies of sheet 2 (Summaries) and name them according to the list of names on sheet 1 (Roster).
Creating and naming the worksheets appears to be working fine. The problem is that the worksheets that are added are blank, not copies of worksheet 2.
My code follows.

I just need to know how to reference another workbook in order to copy values from cells on it to my own version of it. It's 18 pages, and I need to pull certain columns cell values from certain sheets (these columns are all fixed, no fancy statements required). I'm unfamiliar with the structure required to refer to another workbook. All I need to do is say "This workbook-Sheet1!D2:D20 = Workbook"Feb"-Sheet1!D2:D20", and so on, throughout the sheets.
I did look for solutions to this, but all of the answers are mixed in with complex statements for other simultaneous calculations... I find myself unable to pick out the small piece which I need from the mash of code I'm unfamiliar with.

I have made this form to basically allow the user to enter data, click the save button and all the data on screen will move to another sheet "Leads Log" and then the data on the form "Insurance form" will be cleared for next time around.
This works fine and will keep adding records onto the second sheet...but ideally i would like to data to be copied and saved to another sheet in another workbook - seperate to this one.
Suggestions on the relevant code would be great. Please find attached my system so far.

I have a Workbook that contains some invoice data from a purchase. I would like to copy this data to a "Master" workbook that'll put everything from that particular workbook on 1 row, and put all the data from another workbook on the next free row and so on.
For example in workbook "Mock" i would like to copy all the cells that have arrows next to them into "Mock 2". Unfortunetly some of the invoices aren't similar in format so i named all the cells that i want to copy (instead of copying cell C3 i'd copy cell "type").
Some of the cells are lists and some of them have conditional formatting with colors. I tried copying the data using Range.copy but it also copied the color of the cell which isn't what i want.
And finally is there a way to generate a unique number each time a new invoice is copied in a row, and them copy that back to Mock 1 cell B2.

Im trying to automate a rather laborious job of copying data from one spreadsheet to another. The user will almost certainly have both spreadsheets open so I have made a small userform with two comboboxes and a button. The user selects the two workbooks with the comboboxes and then when the button is pressed the code copies the data across. I can get the comboboxes to populate but my code is failing when the user presses the button. Is it because I need to somehow reference the sheets in the workbooks?
Code:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim wkb As Workbook
With Me.ComboBox1
For Each wkb In Application.Workbooks
.AddItem wkb.Name
[Code]..
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton20_Click()
Dim x As ComboBox1.Value
Dim y As ComboBox2.Value
Sheets(X).Range("C58").Copy Sheets(Y).Range("G118")
End Sub

In workbook 1, I have a column of Part Numbers and Week 1 to Week 5. I would like a loop to go through Week 1 to Week 5 and grab the quantity (numbers) and copy it to Workbook 2 Sheet1. Along with the number, I would like it to also grab the Week # and the part number. My part numbers grow over time, so how would I loop until the last number and skip any blanks.
HTML Code:
<b>Sheet1</b><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial;
font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; padding-left:2pt; padding-right:2pt; ">
<colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " />

I have 12 workbooks with 2 spreadsheets in each: Assessments and Instructions. What I would like to do is have one master spreadsheet of instructions I can use to update all the other sheets. After changes are made, I would like to run a macro that would copy the master instructions sheet, open the other workbooks, copy over the information in those workbooks (on the Instructions sheet only), and then close them. I have no idea where to start.

I have a workbook into which a number of rows will be imported (a variable number). These will be edited then I want all the rows to be stored in a ever growing database. At the moment I simply copy these rows open a second workbook and paste the rows into the first blank row in the second sheet.
Is there a way to do this automatically.
1) select and copy all rows containing data
2) open second workbook & find first blank row
3) Paste data into second workbook
4) Save and close second workbook
I think with some effort I could manage the copying and pasting but I have no idea how to open and close the second sheet automatically.

I have many excel files(nearly 500 in total and growing daily) in a folder called "Results Data" on my C drive. The file names are slightly different (serial numbers). Each excel file contains data in Cells A2:E11. I want to be able to copy only the Cells A2, B4, D5 and E10 from each workbook and paste them into a new workbook, each copied workbook on a new row.
I have been trying to change code that I have found on the web but nothing seems to be working,

I am creating a spreadsheet that takes data from the previous week's spreadsheet - it's a weekly report. Using vba how can I access and copy a specific range of data from one worksheet on the previous week's workbook to a range in the new week's workbook. The data in the previous week's workbook is formulas, and I'm not sure how it could affect it, but I only need the values calculated and not the formulas to be transferred. I would also prefer it if the other workbook did not open in excel, so that it happens without any changes on the screen.
