open excel file and copy data to another file
I would like to create a macro that would do the following:
1- Open a closed Excel file located on my drive named "A" and select the sheet named "Sheet1" 2- Copy all data from this sheet starting on cell A1 to the already opened master Excel file named "B" on sheet named "Sheet2" cell A1. Thanks in advance for your help. |

This macro will prompt the user to select where the file is, open it, copy
the data on Sheet1 to the master workbook Sheet2. I assume you will want to call this sub from a command button in your master excel sheet. Hope this helps! If so, let me know, click "YES" below. Sub ImportSheet() Dim wbkData As Variant ' select file with data to be opened wbkData = Application.GetOpenFilename ' open the workbook If wbkData = False Then MsgBox "You didn't select a workbook.", vbInformation Else Workbooks.Open wbkData Set wbkData = ActiveWorkbook End If ' copy data to master workbook ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Cells = wbkData.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells ' close the workbook without saving wbkData.Close End Sub -- Cheers, Ryan "Norvascom" wrote: On Jan 7, 12:32 pm, Gord Dibben <gorddibbATshawDOTca wrote: Try the macro recorder.

Would have been handy if you mentioned that first time around.
But I see Ryan has posted something for you. Gord On Thu, 7 Jan 2010 09:50:08 -0800 (PST), Norvascom wrote: I does not work because the file to be opened is not always located in the same place on the drive. |
