Hi

I have read quite a few posts and still quite new to the whole macro world.
Basically what i am trying to achieve is to be able to insert a column at a
specfic location in a spreadsheet and then cut and paste the data via a macro.
At the moment this is carried out manually were i have to carry out one
function a number of times which can be quite time consuming.

The format is the following:

A B C D E F
1 SubName 2002 2003 2004 2005
2 Sub1 87 89 76
3 Sub2 96 97 98
4 Sub3 69 70 78

5 Sub4 76 75 76

6 Average 82 89 85

What i am looking to do is develop a macro which will insert a column and
bring 2005 data in, this is carried out yearly. At the moment one workbook
consists of about 5 spreadsheets with about 30 of the above tables so it
would be useful if an automated process could be put in place. Also these
tables have a graph each as well so ideally it wouldbe useful if these could
be updated as well.

I would be grateful for any guidance, thank you for your time

Look forward in hearing from you

The trick is knowing where the data is and where you want it to go.
Also - do you have formulas in the data, or is it just values.

As a general rule:

Dim col1 as Long, col2 as Long
' where col1 = data column
' col2 = column to insert

col1 = 2 ' or col1 = Range("A1").Value
col2 = 25 ' or col 2 = Range("A2").Value

Columns(col2).Insert
Columns(col1).Copy _
Destination:=Cells(1,col2)
Columns(col1).clearcontents

You can build various loops to do this multiple times.
If you are working with a number of sheets.

Dim ws as Worksheet

For each ws in ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

Columns(col2).Insert
Columns(col1).Copy _
Destination:=Cells(1,col2)
Columns(col1).clearcontents

Next

Or you can specify each worksheet by name or index number.
You may want to specify ranges with the worksheet designation
ws.Columns(col2).Insert

hope this gets you started...
