VBA - Copying and Pasting from Multiple Excel files to Single Excel File - excel

Question

Long time reader and admirer of StackOverflow.
Basically I am trying to to loop through a series of Excel files to copy a range of data and paste it on a single Excel workbook/sheet.
The cell range location (C3:D8, D3:E8) is not always consistent, but the table dimensions are: 29 R x 2 C. Also, the files only have 1 sheet, and aside from the table dimensions specified, no data values in other cells.
In its current form the code is executing, but not pasting anything to its destination Excel file.
I need it to
Find the data dimension in file (table)
Copy the table
Paste to destination (below previous table)
Loop through to next file
Repeat Step 1-4
The code is from:
Excel VBA: automating copying ranges from different workbooks into one final destination sheet?
Thanks a lot for any help, I really appreciate it and please feel tell me to specify anything if my question is vague.
Sub SourcetoDest()
Dim wbDest As Workbook
Dim wbSource As Workbook
Dim sDestPath As String
Dim sSourcePath As String
Dim shDest As Worksheet
Dim rDest As Range
Dim vaFiles As Variant
Dim i As Long
'array of folder names under sDestPath
'array of file names under vaFiles
vaFiles = Array("Book1.xls")
sDestPath = "C:\Users"
sSourcePath = "C:\Users"
Set wbDest = Workbooks.Open(sDestPath & "\" & "Book2.xlsm")
Set shDest = wbDest.Sheets(1)
'loop through the files
For i = LBound(vaFiles) To UBound(vaFiles)
'open the source
Set wbSource = Workbooks.Open(sSourcePath & "\" & vaFiles(i))
'find the next cell in col C
Set rDest = shDest.Cells(shDest.Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
'write the values from source into destination
rDest.Resize(5, 1).Value = wbSource.Sheets(1).Range("C7:D33").Value
wbSource.Close False
Next i
End Sub

Answer 1

The below should achieve what you're after.
Option Explicit
Sub copy_rng()
Dim wb As Workbook, wbDest As Workbook, ws As Worksheet, wsDest As Worksheet, wsSrc As Worksheet
Dim wbNames() As Variant
Dim destFirstCell As Range
Dim destColStart As Integer, destRowStart As Long, i As Byte
Dim destPath As String
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set ws = wb.Sheets("Sheet1") ' Amend to your sheet name
Set wsSrc = wb.Sheets("Sheet2") ' Amend to sheet name with table data
wbNames = ws.Range("A2:A" & lrow(1, ws)) ' Pass col number into lrow function
destPath = "C:\Users\"
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To UBound(wbNames, 1)
Set wbDest = Workbooks.Open(destPath & wbNames(i, 1))
Set wsDest = wbDest.Worksheets(1)
With wsDest
Set destFirstCell = .Cells.Find(What:="*")
destColStart = destFirstCell.Column
destRowStart = destFirstCell.Row
.Range(Cells(destRowStart, destColStart), _
Cells(lrow(destColStart, wsDest), icol(destRowStart, wsDest))).Copy
End With
wsSrc.Cells(lrow(1, wsSrc) + 1, 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll
wbDest.Close False
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function lrow(ByVal col_num As Integer, sheet_name As Worksheet) As Long
lrow = sheet_name.Cells(Rows.Count, col_num).End(xlUp).Row
End Function
Function icol(ByVal row_num As Long, sheet_name As Worksheet) As Integer
icol = sheet_name.Cells(row_num, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
End Function
Ensure you copy both of the functions across, they're used to create the dimensions of the table, and then copying the table.
You will need to amend the sheet name variables. Let me know if you have any questions.
You need to amend the range of where the workbook names are stored. You need to pass the column number in, so that the last row can be calculated. You can also amend the column in which data is pasted back into the workbook.

With the help of this code you can copy all workbooks and worksheets data
into one workbook
Sub copydata()
Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim fill As Scripting.File
Dim oldfolder As String
Dim newfolder As String
Dim subfolder As Folder
Dim myfolder As Folder
Dim fd As FileDialog
Dim loopcount As Integer
Dim wb
Dim wb2 As Workbook
Dim rr As Range
Set fso = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set wb = ThisWorkbook
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
fd.Title = "Please Select Folder to copy"
fd.ButtonName = "Go!"
fd.Show
oldfolder = fd.SelectedItems(1)
Set myfolder = fso.GetFolder(oldfolder)
'Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each subfolder In myfolder.SubFolders
For Each fill In subfolder.Files
If fill Like "*.xlsm" Or fill Like "*.xlsx" Or fill Like ".*xls" Then
'fill.Range("A1:Z100").Copy
Set wb2 = Application.Workbooks.Open(fill,0 , True)
wb2.Activate
For loopcount = 1 To wb2.Worksheets.Count
wb2.Activate
Worksheets(loopcount).Activate
Range("A1:Z300").Copy 'Replace your range
wb.Activate
Sheet1.Activate
Set rr = Range("A:A").Find("", Range("A1"))
rr.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next loopcount
wb2.Close False
End If
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Debug.Print fill.Name
Next fill
Next subfolder
MsgBox "Done"
For Each fill In myfolder.Files
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
If fill Like "*.xlsm" Or fill Like "*.xlsx" Or fill Like ".*xls" Or fill Like "*.xlsb" Then
'fill.Range("A1:Z100").Copy
Set wb2 = Application.Workbooks.Open(fill, 0, True)
wb2.Activate
For loopcount = 1 To wb2.Worksheets.Count
wb2.Activate
Worksheets(loopcount).Activate
Range("A:Z").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("A1:Z1").AutoFilter
Range("A1:Z300").Copy
wb.Activate
Sheet1.Activate
Set rr = Range("A:A").Find("", Range("A1"))
rr.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next loopcount
wb2.Close False
End If
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Debug.Print fill.Name
Next fill
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
