Copying Several Columns
Sep 29, 2009
Hello. I download several spreadsheets monthly that have a large number of columns (A to EZ). In every excel spreadsheet I need to copy only 18 different columns of data from the sheet which are the same columns each month, and put them into a new spreadsheet. It is very time consuming to highlight and copy a few columns at a time throughout the whole sheet.
I am not very experienced in excel, but is there a simple way to copy all of these columns at once out of the spreadsheet and paste them at once into a new one? I would think there must be some way to enter the column letters I need to pull them out.

I'm currently making a workbook of annual sales lists for my small business. There are separate sheets for each year (2007, 2008, etc.) where column A consists of a list of customers for that year and the next 12 columns include sales for each respective month.
The issue I'm now facing is in trying to create a new "master" sheet of sales (month-to-month) for every year (2007-2012). The problem I'm having is transposing the sales data for each month from the previous sheets. Why I'm having trouble is this new sheet will be for every customer we've ever had whereas the past annual sheets were merely for customers in those specific years.
Thus I have annual sales sheets of 800 some customers while the final sales sheet will be nearly double that. What I've been attempting is to match the customer name from the master sheet with a specific year and if matched, transpose the monthly data associated on that yearly sheet. The formula I came up with works to a certain extent and then seems to fail because the customer difference gets lost in translation. I'm doing something wrong so that it's not looking for a match out of the entire 1600.
Here's my formula I'm trying: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2, '2007'!$A$2:$A$883, 1, FALSE )), "", '2007'!B$2:'2007'!B$883)

I have 2 tabs (tab 1 is "Data", tab 2 is "Compare")
Data tab is filled with results from tests I do in a lab, each test has its own row, each 'test subject' has its own column.
In the second tab I want to have the ability to pick from a drop down list one of the other columns from the first tab.
So I have 2 columns (D and F) in tab 2 with drop down lists that I have populated with the names of the test subjects (using data validation grabbing the top row in tab 1).
I have formulas set up in Column E of tab 2 for the actual comparison.. What I'd like to do is when I select a test subject (for example SubjectA), from the drop down list in $D$1.. I want to populate $D$3:$D$155 with rows 3-155 of the matching column in tab 1 (so if for example SubjectA is in column X, it would copy from tab 1 X3:X155 to tab 2 D3:D155.
So so far I have the validation part done with the drop down list.. and I have the following VB code for tab 2.

rightColumn = Sheets("Hidden-Summary").Range("B4")
Sheets("Hidden-Summary").Range(Columns(leftColumn), Columns(rightColumn)).Copy _
Destination:=Sheets("Summary").Range(Columns(leftColumn), Columns(rightColumn))

Without moving or copying columns I need to print Column A & Column I on the same piece of paper and not print Column B-H.
Every time I try this though it is printing column A on one sheet and Column I on a second sheet. Yes I've checked margins, etc.
This is actually possible, right?
(I didn't want to move or copy columns as the spreadsheet is for someone else's use, plus my formulas buggered when I tried to so I didn't want to add that complication for the other person of double checking the formulas every time she wanted to print this two column version of the sheet.)

I am half way through writing a bigger macro, but am stuck at this stage.
I need to copy from a block of data as shown:
However, this column varies in length each time, and I only want to copy down to where the entries stop.
I also only want to copy W1:X6, and columns Y, AA, AB, AD (but only down to the end of the column)
I've tried using the End(xlDown)).Copy function, but obviously this doesn't work with the block up the top and the gap between the block and the columns

I have a file that has various numbers of columns, some of which i need, some of which i do not. Under these columns, there are various rows, sometimes 50, sometimes 400. I need to write something that copies only the specific columns I need and pastes it into a new worksheet.
For example, in the data file there is are columns property type, loan balance current, and amortization type. I need them to be copied with the information in the rows below them to a new worksheet, to eliminate the unnecessary information in the data file.

Im using this formula in a spreedsheet =(B$3*0,5)+(B$3+(B$4*0,5))+(B$3+B$4+(B$5*0,5))+(B$3+B$4+B$5+(B$6*0,5))+(SUM(B$7:B$28)*4)
What i want is to be able to drag this down for multiple rows but i want the formula above to only change columns i.e.
Next row gets C$3 and so on.

So, I have a document 25 pages long. It has 26 sections (1-26) and each section has up to 10 (.1 - .10) sub sections which contain 16 (a-p) sub-sub-sections. There are 6 columns of varying widths. Some cells, in a row, merge into adjacent cells.
I would like to break this document into 26 documents - one for each section - so that I may recombine and regroup them in the future incorporating a few modifications. Whenever I copy and paste to a new Workbook, I loose the formatting of column widths. Resetting these alone takes lots of time.
I have come up with is to duplicate the entire document and delete everything above and below the section I would like to save. Then repeat for next section. There's got to be a better way?

I have a basic question for a macro, I've looked at other threads but they all seem to have some kind of twist to it. All I want is a macro that copies columns A&B from a source workbook to my destination workbook in a specific worksheet for column A&B too. I'm assuming that the destination worksheet will automatically update whenever the source workbook is updated? My source workbook is called Job List 7 and the worksheet is called Master Job List, my destination is Ted's Timesheet and the sheet is called Job List.

I have a spreadsheet with two tabs (Customer Survey Data) and (Customer Rollup). The data starts on line 5 (headers in rows 1 thru 4) and is found in columns B thru J. In column B I have dates with no blanks. In column C I have customer names - no blanks. In column J is are the customer comments - not all customers made a comment so there are blanks.
I created a macro that autofilters the data to show only those entries within a specific date range (dictated by dates found in L1 and L2 - begin and end dates respectively) by column B (no problem with this). The macro also auto removes all rows where there are no comments (column J = no blanks). This leaves me with only those surveys recieved within a specied date range that have comments.
Here is my problem: the Customer Rollup sheet is the finalized report. I need to copy only the customer names and their comments into the finalized report. The following is the macro I put in which only half works and I have no idea why. It copies the names fine...but then only copies the first comment.
Oh yea...I don't want to copy the WHOLE column...only from the first visible row down to the last. Btw...I put a lot of notes for myself...I capitalized the notes where I think the problem is...Any suggestions on how to fix it or why it just doesnt seem to work like it should?

I am trying to copy two columns to a different sheet in vba code. I will ultimately need to do this multiple times but I think I have the iteration part ok, it's just the copy part that seems to be wrong.
Code:
Worksheets("Lookup").Select
Range(n & lngRevStart & ":" & n + 1 & lngEndRow).Select
Selection.Copy
Worksheets(strDeptSheet).Select
Range(Columns(o), Rows(m)).Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
The original code I used for this works great on one column but I knew the letter column each time I used it. Now I am trying to get two columns at a time and will be iterating through several based on user selections. I figure that will be faster to do both columns as the two columns are side by side.
I am getting an error on the PasteSpectial line "Run-time error '1004' PasteSpecail method of Range class failed.
I'm not sure where to go with this but I am assuming I have a problem with the Range selection lines on either the source or destination or both. The support is just for Macro errors.

I have an employee schedule that is a whole year. I'm trying to extract only the next two weeks worth of columns. I'll schedule it to run once a day. Some information... The calender has the dates listed in Row 2 on Sheet called Daily Schedule The 2 week calendar would be on sheet 7 called Two Week Calendar There are only weekdays on sheet 1 Daily Schedule so if there is nothing matching today's date just stop and do nothing I would like it to save the whole file when complete
I have written some of the simplest code but I don't know how to select by today's date then copy that column plus 9 to the right.
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
objExcel.Visible = True

If I have formulas in A1, A5, A19, and A36, highlight them with goto, how do I move them into B1, B5, B19, and B36? Copying and pasting puts them in B1, B2, B3, and B4.

to copying a formula from one column to the next adjacent column and also incrementing the 2 numeric values inside the formula. Please see attached sample.
One value increments with each new column whereas the other increments with each new row. Please see attached sample.
And in the last row there is the average formula which must copy the new column and average the new column.
I tried to create a Macro in attached but it did not work with formulas.

I export data from another programme into excel and I wish to write a macro to copy the contents of columns G, H, I and J and paste it into columns A, B, C, D but starting at row 4. I then carry out various formatting tasks. I have written a macro that works for the copy and paste and the formatting but it only works when the data is the same length. The length of the data exported varies each time and so I am looking for some code that stops at a blank cell and copies the range above. I believe this uses xlup or xldown.

I have two columns D and E that contain dates and values. Column D has the dates and Column E contains the corresponding values.
I need a macro to take all of the dates in column D (it is pulled from a different macro so the length of the two columns varies every time but starts at D2) and paste the first value in W1, the second value in AE1 , and so on (every eight cells).
I need to do the exact same thing with Column E except start at Y1, then AG1, etc (still every eight cells).
I will try to post an example later.

I need a formula. Probably Vlookup. I'm having a LOT of trouble trying to figure out how to "phrase" the formula so let me explain what it is I'm trying to do. If a cell in Sheet 1 Column AS and a cell in Sheet 2 Column B match exactly, I want the cell in Sheet 2 Column C that is in the same row as the matched cell in Sheet 2 Column B to be copied into Sheet 1 Column BB in the same row as the matched cell in Sheet 1 Column AS.
For example, if cells in S1 Column AS and S2 Column B both have the name "LOS ANGELES" then "KLAX" will be copied from cell in S2 Column C (in same row as "LOS ANGELES") to S1 Column BB (in same row as "LOS ANGELES").

I have a sheet made into a form with some check boxes included. If I select all the relevant columns, create a new sheet, and paste into cell A1 - all of the information carries over just fine. You can still select cells and check the boxes in the new sheet.
However, when I record this action as a macro, using the macro produces a picture of the selected columns instead of actually copy/pasting the information. I can't click on the cells or check boxes. I can only move the picture around within the new sheet.

I am working on an excel spreadsheet that has multiple "sheets" to it. On the first sheet I have multiple columns worth of info and on the second sheet I am trying to copy some of the info from the first sheet.
For example:
Sheet 1, Column A2 has the number 1 in it.
On sheet 2 I have entered the command "=SHEET1A2" and it copies the info as I had hoped.
However, here is where my issue comes into place.
When I sort Column A on sheet 1 numerically, my answer on sheet 2 changes to whatever the new number is in box A2 on sheet 1.
Is there a way I can copy the info so that it changes as I sort the column numerically or alphabetically?
