Copy a range from a closed workbook to a specific sheet - excel

Question

I am currently working on a VBA script to automate a excel sheet. The goal is to have the code open a file from using a file path in cell A2 on a sheet called Reports (the file path is dynamic and is formed using information from the sheet) , copy the data from the file for range A1:E200 and to paste the data into the original workbook on a sheet called HOURS starting at A1. At the moment i have gotten to the point where the file is opened but there is a "Mismatch" error when trying to copy the information across. Below I've attached the code used. I was hoping that someone would be able to help to make sense of the error! I am having the same problem with the close section as well. Note: I am a rookie on VBA so if you could be as clear as possible
Sub Button1_Click()
Call Test
Call Copy_Method
Call CloseWorkbook
End Sub
Sub Test()
Dim strFName As String
strFName = Sheet4.Range("A2").Value
Workbooks.Open Filename:=strFName
End Sub
Sub Copy_Method()
'Copy range to another workbook using Range.Copy Method
Dim wb1 As Workbook
Dim wb2 As Workbook
Dim ws1 As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Set wb2 = ThisWorkbook
Set ws2 = wb2.Sheets("HOURS")
Set wb1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Reports").Range("A2")
Set ws1 = wb1.Sheets("Sheet")
ws2.Range("A1:E200") = ws1.Range("A1:E200").Value
End Sub
Sub CloseWorkbook()
Workbooks("venues_theeway_hours_August2020.XLS").Close SaveChanges:=True
End Sub

Answer 1

Have you tried this ?
ws2.Range("A1:E200").Value = ws1.Range("A1:E200").Value

Answer 2

You're making life quite difficult for yourself there, splitting the code out across 3 subs. Better to
rename the references to make them easier to differentiate source/destination.
keep it all together so the workbooks/worksheets can still be referenced as they're created:
Apologies if I've misread your requirements, my code does the following:
Reads the original workbook, sheet "Reports", range A2 for a filename.
Opens that filename as a 'source' workbook
Copies data from..
that 'source' workbook, sheet "Sheet", range A1:E200
..to original workbook, sheet "HOURS", range A1:E200
and then closes the 'source' workbook, unsaved as you've not made any changes.
Dim wbSource As Workbook
Dim wbDest As Workbook
Dim wsSource As Worksheet
Dim wsDest As Worksheet
Dim strFName As String
Set wbDest = ThisWorkbook
Set wsDest = wbDest.Sheets("HOURS")
strFName = wbDest.Worksheets("Reports").Range("A2").Value
Set wbSource = Workbooks.Open(strFName)
Set wsSource = wbSource.Worksheets("Sheet")
wsDest.Range("A1:E200").Value = wsSource.Range("A1:E200").Value
wbSource.Close SaveChanges:=False
I'm a little puzzled about your workbook close with save? Perhaps you actually want to close the source sheet unsaved and maybe save the destination sheet you're adding data to? In that case you'll need to add this line to the end of the above code.
wbDest.Close SaveChanges:=True
