I've found a way to copy ranges from one workbook to another in Excel 2013/2016 without using the clipboard.
The problem is that the formatting of the source data is also being copied as well. I only wanted to copy the values.
I am combining data from daily workbooks into a weekly workbook. There are two workbooks:
workbookDailyTrain1 (one daily workbook every 24 hours, each has 2 sheets: "Day" and "Night")
workbookWeeklyTrain1 (this has 1 sheet: "Train1")
Here is the line in question:
workbookDailyTrain1.Sheets("Day").Range("A13:B24").Copy workbookWeeklyTrain1.Sheets("Train1").Range("C5:D16")
Is there a way to modify this line of code to make it such that the range values only are being copied across? The destination workbook has its own formatting which has to be kept at all times for the purposes of SharePoint Server deployment.
Just set the two ranges' values equal to the other:
workbookWeeklyTrain1.Sheets("Train1").Range("C5:D16").Value = workbookDailyTrain1.Sheets("Day").Range("A13:B24").Value

What I am trying to do is to have the first five rows of one specific sheet in a workbook show up as the first five rows of all sheets in the workbook. So when I change anything on that one specific sheet, the changes are reflected on all sheets. I know how to split a sheet but while that is close, it is not what I need. I do need something similar to a split but I need to have the split be a different sheet, if that is possible. I am using Excel from Office 15.
In Excel, I have 4 column headers (Id, Name, Age, Place).
I have 3 Excel worksheets with same column headers and different data.
I want to make a consolidated worksheet and the constraint is I have to check whether the column header is the same in all 3 worksheets and move it into the consolidated worksheet.
In the 1st worksheet I have values in the first row.
In 2nd worksheet, the first row is empty and the second row has data.
In 3rd worksheet, the first and second rows are empty and the 3rd row has data.
The 4th worksheet is the consolidated one. I want all 3 worksheet's data in this sheet.
How to do it with macros in vba?
There's built-in functionality for data consolidation.
You'll need to move your data so it's all on the same row but in the end will probably be much easier than writing code from scratch.
How to consolidate
Follow these steps to consolidate several worksheets into a master worksheet:
If you haven't already, set up the data in each constituent sheet by doing the following:
Ensure that each range of data is in list format. Each column must have a label (header) in the first row and contain similar data. There must be no blank rows or columns anywhere in the list.
Put each range on a separate worksheet, but don't enter anything in the master worksheet where you plan to consolidate the data. Excel will do this for you.
Ensure that each range has the same layout.
In the master worksheet, click the upper-left cell of the area where you want the consolidated data to appear.
Note: To avoid overwriting existing data in the master worksheet, ensure that you leave enough cells to the right and below this cell for the consolidated data.
Click Data → Consolidate (in the Data Tools group).
In the Function box, click the summary function that you want Excel to use to consolidate the data. The default function is SUM.
Here is an example in which three worksheet ranges have been chosen:
Select your data.
More information and the remaining instructions are at the source.
If you want to automate the process, record a macro as you performs the necessary steps and then you can edit as required.
See: Recording a Macro to Generate Code as well as Revising Recorded Visual Basic Macros. If you're not familiar with Excel (or whatever you're planning on automating with VBA), do that before attempting VBA.
This VBA tutorial is highly recommended: Excel VBA For Beginners and Microsoft's Documentation.
I need to write a VBA code that will consolidate 50 sheets in a separate excel workbook. What is causing me trouble is that the sheets have different formatting. I only need 2 items from each sheet but they can be located in different columns, and I want them copied to the same column on the new worksheet.
So for example, the second item I want consolidated can be located between columns B and F.
Any help is appreciated.
I admit to not being very technical and my limit up to now has been using paste links to connect data between sheets. I now have a requirement I cannot figure out.
I have 2 workbooks I wish to automate sharing data between.
Workbook 1 contains multiple rows of data manually entered.
I need a button against each row so when it is pressed data from certain cells on that row in Workbook 1 are transferred to cells within a worksheet in workbook 2
I would be very grateful for any guidance on how to achieve this.
Many thanks!
Though you can deploy VBA to achieve this, but the same is also possible with simple formula like.
=[1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1
Lets say you have two workbooks 1.xlsx and 2.xlsx and you want sheet1/column A1 value from 1.xlsx to be auto populated in sheet1/column A1 in 2.xlsx, you can simply link it with a formula like =[1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1 in second workbook 2.xlsx.
So as soon as some entry is done in first cell, second cell is auto populated
However if you are looking only for vba solution do write back
I am running an experiment that is 8 weeks long and consists of about 100 subjects. There are variables from each week that I would like to select, but each subject has his own workbook. Is there a way to select the variables (which are the same cells in each workbook) all into one workbook? or can I do this with macro?
You can pull values from a cell in another workbook with a formula like this (assuming the other workbook is in the same folder):
=[Book1.xlsx]Sheet1!A1
Or you can specify the full path to another workbook like this (note where the single quotes go -- particularly the one after the sheet name):
='C:\Users\Brandon\Desktop\test\[Book1.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1
I think Excel automatically changes it to the full path style when you put it in the first way I mentioned. You can of course use the value in equations as well:
=6 + 5 * [Book1.xlsx]Sheet1!A1
