VBA To Open Multiple Spreadheets And Copy/paste Cell Ranges
Feb 19, 2009
In my consolidating spreadsheet there are 6 columns that show the file path, the worksheet name, and cell range to copy. There can be an unlimited number of rows (each row represents another path). I would like the VBA to copy/paste values from each range specified in each row and copy them into the consolidating worksheet named "copied".
Each time the VBA copies/paste values from the cell range specified in each row it needs to copy below the previous copied and pasted information in the worksheet named copied.
In the worksheet with the file paths etc shown below (named "list"), I would like the VBA to show the Date and Time each piece was copied and pasted. For each path I would like to show in the last column if the copy and paste operation was successful ("yes" or "no"), this is more or less the error handeling....
I tried all failed.We have about 160 different workbooks (one for each business unit) stored online. Staff enters information about their weekly revenue and expenses and here at head office I collect that information and consolidate them.What I am trying to do is that;1.) Create a master Workbook with ~160 worksheets (One worksheet for each unit) named exactly the same with other workbooks2.) And macro can pull the information from related files stored in a certain folderIt is very much like another members problem but I am not sure why I cant get that code working for me? [URL]
I need to copy multiple cells from 1 worksheet to another worksheet on different workbook and for every entry it has to create a sequence #
- source file (ex. data1.xls, data2.xls, etc) * data & field structure is fixed - destination file (case1.xls) * field structure is fixed
1) destination file (case1) will be opened first, a button is prepared (associated w/ macro) and it will open the source file (ex data1.xls) & then copy the cells B2,B3 and E2,E3 2) the copied cells will be pasted to destination file (case1) in cells B3,C3 and D3,E3 respectively 3) a sequence # will be created in cell A of the destination file
this process will be repeated to other remaining files (ex. data2.xls same structure as data1.xls) manually. It means i will perform the task only if required. i have a created a simple code attached to case1.xls
I am trying to write a basic VBA code to effectively remove the formulas from a workbook to reduce the size. I want to save the formulas in one hidden row above the data and have the macro select this row, copy the formulas down to the data, calculate the sheet, and then copy and paste the new calculated info and paste as values
Issues making this more difficult: 1) The number of rows of data is not constant, therefore I believe I need to make vba count the rows of data and therefore know how many rows to paste
2) The formulas are not in every column (E.g. A:C, E:R, AA:AD have formulas)
Here is a basic example:
A B C D E 1 FORMULAS (Hidden) 2 3 [Inv. Typ] [Material #] [Batch] [Qty] [$] 4 [FG] [545] [555A] [5000] [$250000] 5 [WIP] [984] [659A] [200] [$650000]
In this example I would like the macro to: 1) Copy the hidden formulas in (A1:B1, D1:E1) 2) Paste these formulas into the range (A4:B5, D4:E5) (*The height of this range is not constant) 3) Calculate the Worksheet 4) Copy and paste values to the range (A4:B5, D4:E5) (*The height of this range is not constant)
I've got several worksheets that all have the exact same layout that a user will enter unique information in to each worksheet. Then I've got a final worksheet that I want to have a button that the user can click and when they do, it will look to each worksheet and do the exact same process for each worksheet as follows:
It first looks to see if the worksheet is visible. If it is, I want it to copy the range A5 to K5 down until it gets to the last non-blank cell in column C. The first non blank cell that will be referenced will be C7. Then I want it to paste this information into the range A5:K5 on the final sheet named Sheet8 with the same values and keep cell formatting such as width and height, font. If the worksheet is not visible, it skips the sheet.
I want it to do this for each visible worksheet, placing the next visible worksheet info under the previous visible worksheet info. My current code as shown doesn't do that. It requires that something be inSheet8 A6 before it will even paste, then it pastes the info from A5:K5 but it doesn't do just the values nor does it keep the formatting. What I mean about not doing just the values is some of the info that needs to be copied comes from a drop down they can choose from and it copies the actual drop down menu. Also, it seems to copy all of the ranges from each sheet and paste it into just A5:K5 on Sheet8 and overwrites each other instead of pasting Sheet2 just below the information from Sheet1. So the only information shown after the entire process is completed is the information from the last visible sheet.
If Worksheets("Sheet1").Visible = True Then Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A5:K5"), Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C7").End(xlDown)).Copy Sheets("Sheet8").Range("A5").End(xlDown) End If
I am using Excel 2007. I have a worksheet called January and I have a range of formatted cells in 'January' between B15:18 and BA15:18. Some contain formulas, others are just formated to size and or color. I want to copy and paste this range of cells (B15:18:BA15:18) to the next available unformatted or blank cell of the column of the same worksheet by pressing a button. I also need the newly pasted range to reset to their original formatting assuming data was entered before the button was pressed.
I have rather large Excel file that spans around 245 columns & has multiple users responsible for certain columns. Columns are chunked to provide data about a specific group. Every 72 hours, I need to provide to managers what’s currently on this file in a specific summary format.
I’ve recorded a macro that gets me half way there. Here’s where I’m clueless. After my macro deletes unnecessary columns, what remains are the columns for “Main Data” group + each of the 5 “Business” groups (Investors, Lawyers, Credit, Finance, and Support) which would have identical column headings.
(1) Name (2) Address (3) ID# (4) Control#
Furthermore, for each of the 5 “Business” groups, there are 9 slots (ie- a user can enter up to 9 unique entries for a particular group.)
Example- The Investor group contains 9 slots. Each slot will contain the 4 columns mentioned above. So there are 46 slots in total – 1 for Main Data, 45 (5 groups x 9 slots) for Business groups.
MY PROBLEM: I need a macro to now cut & paste all data from each of the 45 Business groups slots & then paste at the bottom of the MAIN DATA slot.
The final file would be 4 columns (as listed above) wide. Data from each of the 45 business group slots would be one below the other- all of it underneath the data in the Main Data group.
I attempted to record a macro where I’m copying a section’s data range starting from row2 to row4000 (I know there will never be 4000 entries. I did this just to ensure that all future data would be captured) then pasting that after the last entry in the Main Data.
Example- I’d copy data from Investor1 slot(starting at column E2-H2) & go about 4000 rows down. Then I’d press CTRL+Down Arrow key in column A & then click the down arrow one time to take me into 1st empty cell where I would paste my copied data. I was going to repeat this process for the remaining 44 slots.
I’ve added some extra entries to test the macro & the problem is that the recorded macro is pasting data in specific cell location in column A instead for looking for the 1st empty cell in column A & then pasting the copied data.
So far I've gone thought the net & tried to paste in a few VBA posts/tips that I thought would work. Here's what I have so far from tinkering around. I need someone to tell me what to replace the xxxxxxx line with. This would be the language to tell Excel to paste copied data range into the first blank cell in column A.

I am successfully opening a .csv file using a variable value stored in a named range in my Main file (the variable includes the directory and path). I copy data from the .csv file to the Main file then I need to close the .csv file without saving but I want to do that by using the
Windows("xxxx").Activate
command where "xxxx" is the namedrange in my Main file which stores the .csv filename (without the directory and path prefix).
I can use the
ActiveWindow.ActivatePrevious
command but if I have another workbook open, this one closes instead of the .csv file I opened from the macro.
I realise this is probably very basic and I've searched the forums but can't find any identical postings.
I have several ranges (i.e. c11:c22, and d11:d22, etc) in an excel spreadsheet that, when the command button is selected, will copy these values into another already established workbook ("aggregator.xls").
Thus, the command button would have to pick each of these ranges and copy them into the aggregator workbook, (i.e. c11:c22 in the first workbook would be copied into b3:b14 in the aggregator workbook; d11:d22 would be copied into b18:b29 in the aggregator workbook, etc.)
In addition, I need it set up so that when the command button is selected to copy this data, that it will look in the aggregator workbook for the next available column for the section that the data will be copied to so that it doesn't write over the previous data.
I have the following VBA code in Excel that looks in sheet called mri.txt for a cell called “AcquisitionMatrix”, Then goes one cell down and two cell to left and copy them all into Application.Workbooks(imgMain).Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate cell “AC2”, But for some reason it copies the field’s name as well such as:
AcquisitionMatrix , 0, , 256, , 256,.
Is there a way to avoid copying the filed name into cell AC2? Such as : 0, , 256, , 256,?
I have a spreadsheet that contains data that is currently split up into 2 or more cells. Sometimes it's 2 cells, sometimes 3, even 4, etc. I would like to right click on multiple adjacent cells, select copy, right click on another cell and paste these multiple cells into 1 cell. I checked paste special but didn't really find anything. I'm not sure a formula/macro would work either as I need to manually determine which cells need this attention.
I have created a spreadsheet some time ago and have been asked to improve on it but I'm rusty with VBA.
I have an automated ordering system that saves each sent order as the date e.g "05-04-2013.xls" but the management team want a graph with the data for the last 4 weeks compared. I have created a seperate workbook called "consumables report.xls" which has a column with the products listed followed by columns "Quantity" and "cost" which is repeated for the 4 weeks of the month.
I want to add a button to prompt the user to choose the saved order e.g "05-04-2013.xls" (all orders saved in same directory) to copy and paste the quantity and cost columns (c8,D69) into "consumables report.xls". I got this to work earlier but it would only paste the formulas and not the values. So I need
A prompt to open workbook Copy range (c8,d69) Close work sheet Paste special .value (c8,D69)
I dont care if it has to open the workbook to copy the data as this will only be used once a month so it dosnt matter how slow the code is.
I'm trying to copy range from one worksheet to another. I'm guessing there must be something wrong with my syntax here:
For Count = 2 To 50 If Sheets("sheet1").Range("H" & (Count)) < 0.1 Then Sheets("sheet3").Range("A" & (next_place), "K" & (next_place)) = Sheets("sheet1").Range("A" & (Count), "K" & (Count)) next_place = next_place + 1 End If Next Count
I need a Excel VB Macro which copies specific ranges from all available Excel workbooks in a Folder and pastes the values in a target Excel workbook in different columns. In other words it would copy Cells F4-F15 from all excel files (say 20) in a folder and paste them in the target Excel file in 20 columns.
I am trying to Copy Cell from one sheet to another sheet starting on A7 and then going to V ? i have a formula that figures that out for me just need another formula or VBA to copy it to the new sheet. i will attach the a test of the file.
I use to have a macro that could copy formulas from non contiguous ranges and paste the values in the same cells. So for example, I could select a non contiguous range like B5:B10, E10:F12, and G1:G10. The macro would then copy and paste the values in those 3 ranges, so those 3 ranges would be values instead of formulas.
I think it worked by storing each range and then looping through each range to copy and paste special values.
Been playing with this for some time and can't quite figure it out. I'm trying to copy a named range and paste special value to another named range of the same size. I recorded a Macro that does what I need, and I'll use if necessary, but thought I'd try to consolidate the code a bit and can't get it to work. The recorded macro is as follows:
Sub PasteRanges() Application.Goto Reference:="DataCopy30Yr" Selection.Copy Application.Goto Reference:="DataPaste30Yr" ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:=3, Link:=1, DisplayAsIcon:=False, _ IconFileName:=False End Sub
My attempt to consolidate was this:
Sub PasteRanges() Range("DataCopy30Yr").Copy Destination: Range("DataPaste30Yr").PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues) End Sub
I get the Run-time error 1004 Copy method of Range class failed when I try to run this. Again, I can use the longer version with no problem, but in the interest of learning and since I have spent some time not being able to come up with the solution, I thought I'd ask the experts opinions before I gave up on it.
how to go about taking data from a closed workbook with a range say A1 to A100, and place it in the work book i have open. I have 3 different sheets in the open work book but all the data is coming from the one sheet in the closed workbook.
Is it possible, in vba, to copy two sets of cell values to two clipboards (clipboard1 and clipboard2?), open another workbook and paste those two seperate clipboard values into another two cells?
I have a requirement to create a master spreadsheet using a macro to copy set cells from several other spreadsheets and paste them into the master one in a list for accounting purposes.
So far the macro reads in the spreadsheet filename(s) and copy/pastes the cells to the master one - I need to be able to paste the values onto subsequent rows for each input sheet which is where my problems lies. Currently the row just pasted in is overwritten over by the following one, I need to go to the next row down but am stuck on how to do it.

I've attached an example master output sheet to show what I want to produce, albeit this has only one row!
I'd like to know if it is possible to run a macro in a workbook that will open another workbook (of the users choice) extract data from it, such as columns from its sheets then paste that data into the workbook the macro is running from. The file to be opened will change, so i've found some code that enables the user to select the file to open then open it.
Dim strFile As String strFile = Application. GetOpenFilename If strFile <> "False" Then Workbooks.Open strFile
This brings up the standard windows choose file to open box, then opens the selected file. Am I correct in thinking that the Dim here will store the file name I select in the open file box? If so, I'd like to know how to select the workbook using the dim so I can manipulate it from the workbook I'm running the macro in. Incidentally, once the the data has been copied, I'd like the workbook opened with the macro to be closed.
Sub transpose_UPCID() Application.CutCopyMode = False Range("A7:B7").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Selection.Copy Sheets("BAUCS").Range("C11").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, _ Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False _ , Transpose:=True Application.CutCopyMode = True End Sub
This macro copies a range and paste it in another worksheet. I dont now how to make this macro to copy another range at the same time and copy it to row C37.
How can I make both things at the same time? The code I am showing here copies and paste product codes. I need to select and copy the production (which is in column F) for each product code and paste it starting in C37.
I would like to add another step that pastes the formulas copied from the active sheet, to specific ranges of cells.
I would like the PasteSpecial XlFormats to apply to all cells on the active sheet, where as the PasteSpecial xlValues would only apply to all cells not in the ranges that the Formulas are getting pasted into.
Also for formatting purposes I have a few cells that are merged in the active spreadsheet, that unmerge when I run the macro. Ideally I would like any previously merged cells to stay merged once the macro is run.
Below is the VB I have...
VB:
Sub SaveSheet() ActiveSheet.Copy With ActiveSheet.UsedRange .Copy .PasteSpecial xlValues .PasteSpecial xlFormats
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 8 different files all have a set of data in them
each one has a long list of (column a-n) however the number of rows change by date. I need each file copied into the finalfile.xls one after another. in the files that will be merged into the final file the final row i need copied is blank. I have all the copy formulas and everything set, I just need a range to copy that automaticaly takes cell a10 to the first blank a cell from each file and pastes it in the finalfile.xls under the last paste so they dont over write each other.
I want to know if its possible to write a macro that will prompt me to open a document, then once open it will copy data and paste it into the working spreadsheet. I have a mini macro that cuts and pastes data elsewhere in the sheet but at present I am manually opening a file then copying all and then pasteing the data which is rather slow.
