Sub PickColumnsToCopy()
Dim mySel As String
Dim myCols As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Dim myR As Range

mySel = InputBox("Which columns to use? " & Chr(10) & _
"(Use a space to separate letters!)")

On Error GoTo ErrHandler
myCols = Split(mySel, " ")

Set myR = Cells(1, myCols(LBound(myCols))).EntireColumn
For i = LBound(myCols) + 1 To UBound(myCols)
Set myR = Union(myR, Cells(1, myCols(i)).EntireColumn)
Next i

Sheets.Add
myR.Copy Range("A1")

Exit Sub

I have a excel worksheet with bunch of columns.
Now I want to create a new excel sheet with only selected columns.
And user will be prompted to input the columns may be with a inputbox only
for onetime.
Example:
Let us say abc.xls has A to H columns.
User will input A C E
New excel sheet will have A, C and E columns only from abc.xls.
