macro for copy-pasting from different workbooks
 

Hi all,

I have to do the following manually everyday to do my daily report.

Copy data from certain columns in a set of data and paste it into a
different workbook, e.g. I want to select only those column with heading 'SR
Num' and 'Date'. However, 'SR Num' will not always be in a particular column
- it can be in 'A', 'B', wherever.

How do I write a macro where it will

- find the columns with headings I want to select,
- copy all the data (rows of data vary day to day) and
- paste it into a different workbook (location for pasting is constant,
however, the file where I'm getting the data from changes everyday)?

Thanks!

With the active workbook being the file that you want to get the data from, you could use something
like

Intersect(Cells.Find("SR Num").EntireColumn, ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Copy _
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Paste Sheet").Range("A2")

Intersect(Cells.Find("Date").EntireColumn, ActiveSheet.UsedRange).Copy _
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Paste Sheet").Range("B2")
