VB code to copy sheet format to another sheet
 
Can some one tell me where i`m going wrong. The code below works fine except
for the sheet format. How do I get to copy column width, row hieght and
remove gridlines on the copied sheet.

VB code to copy sheet format to another sheet
 
You can record a macro when you turn off grid lines to get that code.

You can loop through each column changing the width to what you found in the
other worksheet

dim iCol as long
for icol = 1 to columns.count
wks.columns(icol).columnwidth = databasewks.columns(icol).columnwidth
next icol


I would have thought that copying whole rows and pasting the whole rows would
have brought the rowheights, too.

But if it didn't maybe you can just autofit the rowheight




I think that this would be added in this portion:

If rsp = 6 Then
DataBaseWks.Rows("1:" & i).Copy Destination:=wks.Range("A1")
'code to remove grid lines
wks.activate
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
'code to do column widths
For iCol = 1 To Columns.Count
wks.Columns(iCol).ColumnWidth _
= databasewks.Columns(iCol).ColumnWidth
Next iCol
wks.rows.autofit
End If

I counted my eggs too soon.
When run the code below, it keeps asking me to name the sheet. This happens
several times. Can some one run through this code and tell me what is wrong
with it........Please!!!
It basically supose to create a new named worksheet for each item in a
filtered list...it doesn`t now......help

VB code to copy sheet format to another sheet
 
It uses the values in that listrange to change the name of the worksheet.

If there's something in any of those cells that contain characters that can't be
used for a sheet name (like :, /, \, [, ]) or something that would result in an
invalid name (longer than 31 characters), then you'll be prompted to change the
name of the sheet.

You could change this line to give you more of a hint:

MsgBox "Please rename: " & wks.Name
to
MsgBox "Please rename: " & wks.Name & vblf & "Invalid: " & mycell.value

VB code to copy sheet format to another sheet
 
Thanks Dave it works great now. I suppose if I wanted to copy the borders
too. I would add it to the end of the code you sent me?

It uses the values in that listrange to change the name of the worksheet.

If there's something in any of those cells that contain characters that can't be
used for a sheet name (like :, /, \, [, ]) or something that would result in an
invalid name (longer than 31 characters), then you'll be prompted to change the
name of the sheet.

You could change this line to give you more of a hint:

MsgBox "Please rename: " & wks.Name
to
MsgBox "Please rename: " & wks.Name & vblf & "Invalid: " & mycell.value

VB code to copy sheet format to another sheet
 
Sorry Dave. It seems that get one thing sorted and another crops up.
The workbook contains a sheet(MAIN) that I enter data under 12 headed
columns. Column "A" is a list of items which I use as a filter list to create
sheets for each of the items. When I select the macro that runs the code
below. It filters the list on sheet"MAIN" column "A" for each different item
it creates a new sheet or if the sheet already exsists, adds to the data to
it. It all works fine until it comes to pasting the values from sheet"MAIN"
to each row to their appropriate sheets. It`s only pasting values from the
first five cells in each row leaving the rest empty. How do I fix this???

What do you get for an address? Is it as large as you thought it would be?

Sorry Dave. It seems that get one thing sorted and another crops up.
The workbook contains a sheet(MAIN) that I enter data under 12 headed
columns. Column "A" is a list of items which I use as a filter list to create
sheets for each of the items. When I select the macro that runs the code
below. It filters the list on sheet"MAIN" column "A" for each different item
it creates a new sheet or if the sheet already exsists, adds to the data to
it. It all works fine until it comes to pasting the values from sheet"MAIN"
to each row to their appropriate sheets. It`s only pasting values from the
first five cells in each row leaving the rest empty. How do I fix this???

If there's something in any of those cells that contain characters that can't be
used for a sheet name (like :, /, \, [, ]) or something that would result in an
invalid name (longer than 31 characters), then you'll be prompted to change the
name of the sheet.

You could change this line to give you more of a hint:

You can record a macro when you turn off grid lines to get that code.

You can loop through each column changing the width to what you found in the
other worksheet

dim iCol as long
for icol = 1 to columns.count
wks.columns(icol).columnwidth = databasewks.columns(icol).columnwidth
next icol


I would have thought that copying whole rows and pasting the whole rows would
have brought the rowheights, too.

But if it didn't maybe you can just autofit the rowheight




I think that this would be added in this portion:

If rsp = 6 Then
DataBaseWks.Rows("1:" & i).Copy Destination:=wks.Range("A1")
'code to remove grid lines
wks.activate
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
'code to do column widths

= databasewks.Columns(iCol).ColumnWidth
Next iCol
wks.rows.autofit

It uses the values in that listrange to change the name of the worksheet.

If there's something in any of those cells that contain characters that can't be
used for a sheet name (like :, /, \, [, ]) or something that would result in an
invalid name (longer than 31 characters), then you'll be prompted to change the
name of the sheet.

You could change this line to give you more of a hint:

MsgBox "Please rename: " & wks.Name
to
MsgBox "Please rename: " & wks.Name & vblf & "Invalid: " & mycell.value

VB code to copy sheet format to another sheet
 
No it didn`t work Dave but I now know what the problem is. Six of the 12
columns have the same title. This was causing some sort of conflict,
duplicating the figureson the first two columns and coping them to the rest(
if that makes sense). At the moment I have to find a way to rename those
columns or find a way through the code below.
Many thanks for your help. It was appreciated.

Try it again to see what the address is. Did you get what you expected?

Sorry Dave. It seems that get one thing sorted and another crops up.
The workbook contains a sheet(MAIN) that I enter data under 12 headed
columns. Column "A" is a list of items which I use as a filter list to create
sheets for each of the items. When I select the macro that runs the code
below. It filters the list on sheet"MAIN" column "A" for each different item
it creates a new sheet or if the sheet already exsists, adds to the data to
it. It all works fine until it comes to pasting the values from sheet"MAIN"
to each row to their appropriate sheets. It`s only pasting values from the
first five cells in each row leaving the rest empty. How do I fix this???

The msgbox should have worked--in the sense that it gave you some string that
looked like an address.

But I understand how you found the problem. Maybe you could just rename the
columns to something unique.
