Hi guys,
I have a code to copy a (varying) range from one file to 25 other files. For the time being I use this (all the necessary files are already opened): ----------------------- Sub Repetitive_macro() '1st loop Windows("Source File.xls").Activate = this is always the same Sheets("SourceSheet").Select = this is always the same Range("B4").Select = this part is varying, starting with B4, then at next loop C4, then D4,... until Z4 Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Selection.Copy Windows("1st Destination.xls").Activate = this part is also varying, taking 25 different open files one after another and pasting what was copied before... (file names follow no special pattern) Range("C19").Select = this is always the same Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False ActiveWorkbook.Save ActiveWorkbook.Close '2nd loop Windows("Source File.xls").Activate Sheets("SourceSheet").Select Range("C4").Select .... etc, following 25 times the scheme explained above End Sub() ------------------------ So, my question is: Can you specify all the varying parts somewhere at the beginning of the code (in array or whatsoever) and then put it as a variable in the code, changing at every loop? I would imagine something like this (pseudo-code) -------------- Sub More_efficient_macro() x = (B4,D4,E4,F4,G4,H4,...,Z4) y = ("1st Destination.xls","Other Name.xls","Another Different Name.xls",...,"Name of the last file.xls") For every x and y Loop Windows("Source File.xls").Activate Sheets("SourceSheet").Select Range("x").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Selection.Copy Windows("y").Activate Range("C19").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False ActiveWorkbook.Save ActiveWorkbook.Close End Loop End Sub() --------------- Thanks for any help on this, Cheers, Mark |
