i'm trying to export all my sheets in my workbook at once as image. The final goal should be to open the macro or press an button and then all the worksheets are exported to an directory named as "worksheet".jpg and they should have the exact same size, for example. I tried to add some extra code to this, which i found somewhere:
Sub SaveStaticImageWorkbook()
Dim ws As Worksheet, wb As Workbook, fDialog As FileDialog
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
wb.Sheets(1).Name = "Tmp123"
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Copy After:=wb.Sheets(wb.Sheets.Count)
Next ws
'Remove Sheet1
wb.Sheets("Tmp123").Delete
For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
ws.Range(ws.Cells(1, 1), ws.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Copy
ws.Select
ws.Cells(1, 1).Select
ws.Pictures.Paste
ws.Range(ws.Cells(1, 1), ws.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)).Clear
Next ws
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
fDialog.Title = "Save Static Workbook"
fDialog.InitialFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path
If fDialog.Show = -1 Then
wb.SaveAs fDialog.SelectedItems(1)
End If
wb.Close SaveChanges:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
My problem is, that i have no idea, where i have to add this extra code. I have tried several options, for example to add it in the for loop, but this fails often in runtime errors.
Maybe someone of you can help me.
Thanks

I have a macro that works
Sub EXPORT_POR()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim FileSaveName As Variant
FileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fileFilter:="Text (Tab delimited) (*.*), *.*")
Sheets("POR_FINAL_OU").Copy
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = ActiveSheet
With wb
With ws
.Range("A:C").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.DELETE
.Range(.Cells(1, "C"), .Cells(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)).Clear
End With
.SaveAs FileSaveName, xlTextWindows
.Close False
End With
i = MsgBox("Soubor uložen", vbOKOnly + vbInformation)
End Sub
Now I have extended the sheet with additional columns and thus logically extended the code
Sub EXPORT_POR()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim FileSaveName As Variant
FileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(fileFilter:="Text (Tab delimited) (*.*), *.*")
Sheets("POR_FINAL_OU").Copy
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set ws = ActiveSheet
With wb
With ws
.Range("A:G").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.DELETE
.Range(.Cells(1, "G"), .Cells(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)).Clear
End With
.SaveAs FileSaveName, xlTextWindows
.Close False
End With
i = MsgBox("Soubor uložen", vbOKOnly + vbInformation)
End Sub
Now I get the following error when I start macro
"error 1004 - Cannot use that command on overlapping selections"
I have no idea how to fix it
i solved this way. Juste change this:
With ws
.Range("G:G").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.DELETE
.Range(.Cells(1, "G"), .Cells(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)).Clear
End With
.SaveAs FileSaveName, xlTextWindows
.Close False
The code below creates and saves all the excel sheets from "Test_Main" into separate new workbooks with file extension .xlsx and I want it to save the workbook in .csv format. Could someone please alter my current code to do the required job ? Thanks in advance :)
Sub Workbook()
Dim a As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wb As Workbook
a = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count 'counts all the sheets
For i = 1 To a 'loops for all sheets
If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name <> "Test_Main" Then 'rule out the main sheet
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Copy before:=wb.Worksheets(1) 'new workbook has 1 worksheet by deafult
wb.SaveAs "H:\IT\Melissa\Essengeld\TEST\" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name
wb.Close savechages = True
End If
Next i
ThisWorkbook.Activate
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Activate
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1).Select
MsgBox ("Task Completed")
End Sub
Microsoft answer question here -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.workbook.saveas
I took code from to export a sheet from here
Sub exportSheet(sh As Worksheet, csvFilename As String)
Dim wbNew As Workbook
Set wbNew = Workbooks.Add
Dim wsNew As Worksheet
With wbNew
sh.Copy wbNew.Sheets(1)
Set wsNew = wbNew.Sheets(1)
.SaveAs Filename:=csvFilename, _
FileFormat:=xlCSVMSDOS, CreateBackup:=False
.Close False
End With
End Sub
and used it in your code like that
Sub exportToCSV()
Dim a As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim wb As Workbook
a = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Count 'counts all the sheets
For i = 1 To a 'loops for all sheets
If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name <> "Test_Main" Then 'rule out the main sheet
' Set wb = Workbooks.Add
' ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Copy before:=wb.Worksheets(1) 'new workbook has 1 worksheet by deafult
' wb.SaveAs "H:\IT\Melissa\Essengeld\TEST\" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name
'
' wb.Close savechages = True
exportSheet ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i), "H:\IT\Melissa\Essengeld\TEST\" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name
End If
Next i
ThisWorkbook.Activate
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Activate
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1).Select
MsgBox ("Task Completed")
End Sub
I found the solution:
wb.SaveAs "H:\IT\Melissa\Essengeld\TEST" & ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name , FileFormat:=xlCSV
I have several sheets I need to copy to a new workbook and then save this workbook.
I'm using the worksheet function to copy which it seems to me like it's the intended purpose of that function.
Here's the MSDN documentation on how to do this task:
Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy
With ActiveWorkbook
.SaveAs Filename:=Environ("TEMP") & "\New1.xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
.Close SaveChanges:=False
End With
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.worksheet.copy
This is doing exactly what I want, but it's using the ActiveWorkbook property which might cause some error, if running other codes or just working in parallel of this code running.
I'm looking for a way to manipulate the newly created workbook without having to use the ActiveWorkbook property.
Something along the lines of this:
Dim wb as Workbook
set wb = Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy
wb.SaveAs Filename:=Environ("TEMP") & "\New1.xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
wb.Close SaveChanges:=False
I've already tried this and it didn't work, but it's just to illustrate the point that it's not using the ActiveWorkbook property to refer to the new workbook.
Thanks in advance
From above comment:
Sub Tester()
With AsNewWorkbook(Sheet1)
Debug.Print .Name
.SaveAs "C:\Temp\blah.xlsx"
End With
End Sub
Function AsNewWorkbook(ws As Worksheet)
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet) 'has one sheet...
With wb.Sheets(1) 'stolen from Cristian's answer...
If .Name = ws.Name Then .Name = .Name & "x"
End With
ws.Copy before:=wb.Worksheets(1)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
wb.Worksheets(2).Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Set AsNewWorkbook = wb
End Function
#BigBen is right though - typically just using ActiveWorkbook is fine.
An improvement on #TimWilliams response so that you can copy multiple sheets at once:
Sub Test()
Dim sourceBook As Workbook
'
Set sourceBook = ThisWorkbook 'Or ActiveWorkbook or whatever book is needed
With CopySheetsToNewBook(sourceBook.Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")))
.SaveAs Filename:=Environ("TEMP") & "\New1.xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
End With
sourceBook.Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub
Public Function CopySheetsToNewBook(ByVal theSheets As Sheets) As Workbook
If theSheets Is Nothing Then
Err.Raise 91, "CopySheetsToNewBook", "Sheets not set"
End If
'
Dim newBook As Workbook
Dim tempSheet As Worksheet
'
Set newBook = Application.Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)
Set tempSheet = newBook.Worksheets(1) 'To be deleted later
tempSheet.Name = CDbl(Now) 'Avoid name clashes with the sheets to be copied
'
theSheets.Copy Before:=tempSheet
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
tempSheet.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
'
Set CopySheetsToNewBook = newBook
End Function
Copy Worksheet(s) to a New Workbook
Sub NewWorkbook()
' Reference the source workbook.
Dim swb As Workbook: Set swb = ThisWorkbook ' workbook containing this code
swb.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy ' copy one worksheet to a new workbook
'swb.Worksheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2")).Copy ' copy multiple worksheets
' Reference the destination (new) workbook.
Dim dwb As Workbook: Set dwb = Workbooks(Workbooks.Count)
Debug.Print swb.Name, dwb.Name
End Sub
I want to copy/paste all worksheet inlcuding the values/formula in the cells to another new workbook.
This code just copy the first ws, but not all other. How can I make sure, that all ws are gettin copied and pasted without writing all the names from the ws in the vba-code?
Sub CopyPaste()
Dim ws As Worksheet, wb As Workbook
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Set wb = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)
ws.Range("A1:G10").Copy
wb.Sheets(1).Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
wb.Sheets(1).Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
So i assume you will be saving the second workbook for it to be named? therefore just add your path below where you want to save it, also it now retains the sheet names.
I'm not sure why you are getting a debugger error its working fine for me, try this code and see if you still get it?
Sub newworkbook()
Dim WBN As workbook, WBC As workbook, WB As workbook
Dim WS As String
Dim SHT As Worksheet
Set WBN = Workbooks.Add
For Each WB In Application.Workbooks
If WB.Name <> WBN.Name Then
For Each SHT In WB.Worksheets
SHT.Copy After:=WBN.Sheets(WBN.Worksheets.Count)
WBN.Sheets(WBN.Worksheets.Count).Name = (SHT.Name) & " "
Next SHT
End If
Next WB
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
WBN.Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Delete
WBN.Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\YOURPATH\timetable_v2.xls" 'change path to whatever
End Sub
You can try as follow:
Sub CopyPaste()
Dim aSheet As Worksheet
Dim workbook As workbook
Dim index As Integer
Set workbook = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)
For Each aSheet In Worksheets
aSheet.Range("A1:G10").Copy
workbook.Sheets(index).Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulasAndNumberFormats
index = index + 1
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next aSheet
End Sub
Just had a quick look for you, this seems to do the job:
credit: get digital help
Dim WBN As Workbook, WBC As Workbook, WB As Workbook
Dim WS As String
Dim SHT As Worksheet
Set WBN = Workbooks.Add
For Each WB In Application.Workbooks
If WB.Name <> WBN.Name Then
For Each SHT In WB.Worksheets
SHT.Copy After:=WBN.Sheets(WBN.Worksheets.Count)
WBN.Sheets(WBN.Worksheets.Count).Name = Left(WB.Name, 30 - Len(SHT.Name)) & "-" & SHT.Name
Next SHT
End If
Next WB
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
WBN.Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Delete
WBN.Application.DisplayAlerts = True
I just deleted WBN.Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Delete
And it works fine
The new workbook is saved as an .xlsx file, but of course I Need it as an .xlsm file....when I just added it into the path, it doesnt work
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "U:\Excel\timetable_v2.xlsm"
I am trying to do a copy and paste of data in between workbooks and worksheets. I have the following codes but it seems to be taking up much time. I was wondering if there is any simpler way in copying?
Sub Test1()
Dim wb As Workbook, x As String, y As String, wb1 As Workbook
For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
If wb.Name <> ThisWorkbook.Name Then x = wb.Name
Next wb
Workbooks(x).Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:E").Copy
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMinimized
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Select
Workbooks(x).Activate
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlNormal
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("F:F").Copy
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMinimized
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("G:G").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll
Workbooks(x).Activate
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlNormal
End Sub
Some headsup:- Use
Sub Test1()
Application.Screenupdating = False
'yourcode
Application.Screenupdating = True
End Sub
in your code to execute it faster
for copy paste a short verion that can be used is
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("F:F").Copy Sheets("Sheet1").Range("G:G")
Instead of activating certain books try pasting directly to the destination as mentioned in the above code.
you can remove "ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMinimized"
EDIT:- as per added comments
dim wb1 as workbook
dim wb2 as workbook
set wb1 = ("Filename.xlsx")
set wb2 = ("filename.xlsx")
wb1.sheetname.range("A1").copy wb2.sheetname.range("A1")
you can further decalre your sheetname as well
dim ws as worksheet
set ws = worksheets("Sheetname")
Edit as per second comment (add variable to newly opened workbook)
Dim path as variant
dim wsb as workbook
path = \\C:your path ' not the sheet name
Set wsb = Workbooks.Open(filename:=myfolder & "\" & "filename".xlsm")
'your codes
I got some idea from JMAX and found a way which is as follows:
Sub test()
Dim wb As Workbook, wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim vFile As Variant
'Set source workbook
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
'Open the target workbook
vFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel-files,*.xls", _
1, "Select One File To Open", , False)
'if the user didn't select a file, exit sub
If TypeName(vFile) = "Boolean" Then Exit Sub
Workbooks.Open vFile
'Set targetworkbook
Set wb2 = ActiveWorkbook
'For instance, copy data from a range in the first workbook to another range in the other workbook
wb2.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A:B").Copy
wb.Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
wb.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll
End Sub
