Copy/Paste cells & value - excel

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:

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"

Get the New Workbook When Copying a Worksheet

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

VBA Export All Sheets as Image with Sheetname

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

VBA append many workbooks to correct tabs

I have around 500 workbooks that I have managed to import into a master workbook into separate tabs. I want to be able to append data from each of the separate workbooks into the correct tab of the master workbook on a weekly basis.
Below is the code I have so far:
Sub ImportData()
Dim Path As String, Filename As String
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim Sht As Worksheet, ShtDest As Worksheet
Path = "C:\Users\J\Currencies\"
Filename = Dir(Path & "*.xlsx*")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Do While Filename <> ""
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=Path & Filename, ReadOnly:=True)
For Each Sht In wb.Sheets
Set ShtDest = ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(1))
Sht.Cells.Copy
ShtDest.Name = Left(wb.Name, 6)
ShtDest.Cells.PasteSpecial xlValues
Next Sht
wb.Close
Filename = Dir()
Loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
I think I need to add some sort of if statement to check if the name of the workbook that is being opened is the same as each of the individual worksheet names in the master workbook. Perhaps I need a second for each loop to check each of the worksheets in the master workbook? Then for each of the worksheets in the master workbook, find the last populated row and append the data, one row below that.
You can check the name of the workbook worksheets, and paste your values in there. Find below some unchecked and undebugged sample code:
Dim ShtDest As Worksheet
Dim wsName As String
wsName = 'yourWorkSheetNameToFind'
Set ShtDest = wb.Sheets(wsName)
ShtDest.Cells.PasteSpecial xlValues
Even add an ifExists checker:
Function WorksheetExists(shtName As String, Optional wb As Workbook) As Boolean
Dim sht As Worksheet
If wb Is Nothing Then Set wb = ThisWorkbook
On Error Resume Next
Set sht = wb.Sheets(shtName)
On Error GoTo 0
WorksheetExists = Not sht Is Nothing
End Function
So, with the checker:
Dim ShtDest As Worksheet
Dim wsName As String
wsName = 'yourWorkSheetNameToFind'
Set ShtDest = wb.Sheets(wsName)
if WorksheetExists(wsName, wb)
ShtDest.Cells.PasteSpecial xlValues

Control variable already in use - simple VBA script

Getting control variable in use for this, I guess because of "ws", can someone help how to fix? Thanks
Sub CreateNewWBS()
Dim wbThis As Workbook
Dim wbNew As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim strFilename As String
Set wbThis = ThisWorkbook
For Each ws In wbThis.Worksheets
strFilename = wbThis.Path & "/" & ws.Name
ws.Copy
Set wbNew = ActiveWorkbook
For Each ws In wbNew.Worksheets
ws.Cells.Copy
ws.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
wbNew.SaveAs strFilename
wbNew.Close
Next ws
End Sub
Used ws2 and fixed Next statements, works now:
Sub CreateNewWBS()
Dim wbThis As Workbook
Dim wbNew As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim ws2 As Worksheet
Dim strFilename As String
Set wbThis = ThisWorkbook
For Each ws In wbThis.Worksheets
strFilename = wbThis.Path & "/" & ws.Name
ws.Copy
Set wbNew = ActiveWorkbook
For Each ws2 In wbNew.Worksheets
ws2.Cells.Copy
ws2.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Next
wbNew.SaveAs strFilename
wbNew.Close
Next ws
End Sub
Here is a simplified version of your code:
Sub CreateNewWBs()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Copy
With ActiveWorkbook
.Worksheets(1).UsedRange.Value = .Worksheets(1).UsedRange.Value
.SaveAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "/" & ws.Name
.Close
End With
Next ws
End Sub
I have removed the second For loop, which was causing you issues (both because you had For without Next, and because you were trying to reuse an existing variable) on the basis that wbNew only ever contained 1 worksheet, replaced wbThis with ThisWorksheet, and swapped the .Copy:.PasteSpecial with .Value=.Value to avoid needing the clipboard.

Copying between workbooks and worksheets

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
