I have 1 particular excel sheet and a bunch of other excel workbooks with raw data.
That particular excel sheet works as a template for data analysis, so I copy-paste that sheet to a raw-data excel workbook to undertake analysis on that raw data.
Problem is that when I'm pasting the template sheet to the others, I need to change the reference every single time because the analysis is done referencing the sheet that contains row data. Also, sheet name is unique on
every workbook.
I tried the below VBA code but it's attached to the workbook rather than the template sheet itself, so I can't just create a copy of that sheet to a raw data excel workbook.
Function NxtShtNm() As String
Application.Volatile
NxtShtNm = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(ActiveSheet.Index + 1).Name
End Function
Could I get any advice on above?
Thanks!

I am new to VBA Macros. I just know how to copy cells/columns from one worksheet to another sheet and one workbook to another workbook.
I don't know how to copy data "using column headers" (need total column values) from one workbook to another workbook.
Could someone please help me in this regard.
Excel looks like below and I want to copy data by using headers "Job Name & Job Status") to another workbook
Joboutput details
Location
Date
Job Name Job Number Job Status
aaa
bbb
Can anyone help me out with this VBA Macros query? I want to compare a worksheet with another worksheet in a different workbook. However, I don't want to open that workbook when comparing. I just want to changes to be shown in the current worksheet that I am using.
Is there something like a temporary data storage using Macros which stores the data temporarily from another workbook, compares it without ever physically opening the workbook?
You don't need VBA for this. You can use regular worksheets formulas, even if the other file isn't open.
For example, if we want to compare cell A1 of the current worksheet to cell A1 on worksheet Sheet1 of an (open or closed) Excel workbook saved as c:\myPath\myFile.xlsm, we could use:
=IF(A1='C:\myPath\[myFile.xlsm]Sheet1'!A1,"It's a Match!","Not a Match")

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(65,20,1,1,VLOOKUP(C$4,FILELOCATION,2,FALSE)&C$4&$B$2&".XLS"))
I created the formula above to pull info from a source workbook into a summary workbook. Source file name will be dynamic plus I will have 10 source files to pull into the summary workbook.
This formula works when the cell T65(65,20) is in Sheet1 of the workbook.
How do I alter the formula to pull from sheets other than Sheet1? I am trying to pull data from Sheet6 which is called Budget Export.
I don't know macros so this is why I am trying to stick with formulas.
Any suggestions?
I have a workbook with many tabs, all of which are identical in format. I want to have the same embedded charts in each worksheet. I can't seem to copy the charts from one tab to other tabs without the new data range being tied to the original worksheet tab name. My first choice is to refer to the data range as B6:B87 or =B6:B87 WITHOUT the reference being ='TabName'!B6:B87, but Excel doesn't seem to allow it.
Make copy's of the data range on the same page than cut it and past it on the page you want.it wont have the sheet name where it was copied.
Copy the entire sheet, including chart and data. The copied chart links to the data range on the copied sheet. Now replace the original data on the copied sheet with the new data. The copied chart links to the new data on the copied sheet.
I am trying to create an Excel macro that will take raw data (from an Excel Worksheet) and make worksheets organized by month within that Excel file. For example, I have a date column with data in the following format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS and I want the macro to create new Excel worksheets for each month. So by the end of the process the months (say Jan-March) are each individual worksheets and the raw data is sheet is still intact (unchanged).
I am fairly new to writing Excel macros so any help would be appreciated.
The best thing you can do when getting started with excel macros is to record what you want to do and then inspect and refactor the code that excel generates for you. In your case, go Tools;Macro;Record new macro. Then create a sheet. Then choose the first cell containing a date and modify its value. Then select the row and copy it to the new sheet. Inspect the macro (Tools;Macro;Visual basic editor) and you should see the bones of inserting a new sheet, getting the value of a cell and copying a row of data.Now throw in a CDate function to turn your date cell into a date, a DatePart to extract the month and a for loop to go through your source data and you'll be off to a good start!
