Just found this today and it helped me a lot to try and automate manual copy and pastes of my teammates. Will be trying to put some of these in a button.

[@DerickPitcher]

WOW! This is exactly what I needed. It seems like you made this tutorial video for me. I just modified it to go through 12 Sheets (January through December) using a For/Next Loop to copy non-blank range then paste values in the next blank row after destination file/sheet is cleared once. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@firststep7750]

1a) 3:13 - Open/ Close source Workbook 2) 10:02 - Clear Existing Data in destination before Pasting 3a) 7:15 - Copy/Paste below Last Cell in destination Workbook. 3b) 10:36 - Alternate destination Workbook reference. 3c) 11:36 - Copy/Paste below Last Cell in destination Workbook if worksheet name is unknown.

Hi John, Required to create multiple files/workbook with the help of 2 master data. Example in Master data file, created 2 seprate files with State and company wise seprate excel sheet/tab. With help of VBA need to create seprate files created in one specific folder with Company wise (also it should have one more tabe with state wise).

Thank you for your useful tutorials! I quickly earned "Wizard" status at my new job by writing a macro that copies in data from date stamped system generated files using Application.FileDialog to set workbook variable and your lastrow/range.copy videos.

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks A.J.! And congrats on wizard status. I love it! Sounds like you are able to help a lot of coworkers save time as well. Awesome! Have a good one. :-)

[@ClintSevilla]

I am trying to figure out how to do that. Any references to point me to?

[@a.j.wilkes6352]

@@ClintSevilla Hello! Honestly since doing this I’ve learned to use the Power Query for data import. That would be worth your time learning. I’m think for this one I used the “Open file” dialogue box and set a range in the destination equal to the raw data. Wiseowl VBA tutorials were a great job off point.

Hello, very helpful video. I get data in raw format I have to prepare that raw data in a particular format. How to copy data in row A and get the same pasted in row B using VBA.

[@juhainaahmed6090]

Hi Jon.Thank you for this video. It saved me a lot of work.. How can I copy the data from the other sheet while keeping the same format?

[@juhainaahmed6090]

i have some images in my sheet which are not getting copied and also the text box text size gets bigger when i copy it to the current sheet

[@undrawingend]

This has just saved me an hour or more of copy and paste from sheets !, is there a way that this could be used to copy from a range of sheets that all have the same name but different date - eg 11.04.22 do not use to 16.04.22 do not use ? I have a sheet with the date range that is calculated based on workdays and need to collate the data from the 5 sheets and needs to be run each Monday for the previous week I m thinking that the name section could be “* Do Not Use” but this would pull sheet data from more than needed

[@markjosephlobete2563]

Thanks for the video, just want to ask how about a vba for different workbooks name?

[@connorloze5418]

Hey Jon - would you have the knowledge on how to pull data from multiple xlsm's that have merged cells and dropdowns into a master workbook using vba?

[@mokongx3m]

Is it possible to have a prompt appear to allow end user select the file from a file browser to copy from so it is not hardcoded in the macro like if they might be copying from a different file each time?

[@mohammadshakeelsharif345]

Hi, this is very helpful. thank you. Just one question, when pasting the data where would you include paste special to just paste values. thanks

[@shaikhmohammedriyazbasha7331]

Dear Sir, your VBA is excellent, but I need a code for pasting a text in the specified cell of another work books (650 qty) in a folder through a message box (=should ask range) while pasting.

[@hope1922]

Hi! That is a great video, thank you so much for making it! In my case the name of the workbook I copy the data from changes, is there a way to deal with that?

[@Fullthrottlekg]

Did u get it

[@nandogarza7841]

Thanks for this video, it is very helpful. By any chance do you have any video explaining same topic but what Im looking for is to copy a value by looking referencing to dynamic data, such as dates... if you are on a certain week then copy certain row, then if the week changes copy and paste another row and so on... so ranges will change but date will bw the main input...

[@truekitchen3990]

realy super

[@Buenomars]

Instead of pasting below the last row cell, what should I change for pasting right next to the last column cell?

[@ibrahimasgarli7385]

Hi, Thank you for the video, was very helpful. Just one comment/question. I guess there should be no filters/all filters cleared in the the source file/sheet where the info is copied from. otherwise the code copies only filtered data.

[@selvan1264]

Thanks for the nice video. This is useful. May I check how to copy only new rows [there maybe more than 1 new row] from source excel, if only those rows are not found in the destination excel file and matches criteria [eg. West region]? Thank you Merry Christmas and happy New year

[@GuruDanny]

Thank you John for a well paced video with all the steps described and covered. I ended up here while searching on how to "SET" an open workbook's (file) name to a workbook variable and later copy some contents to another open file. Watching this video, I think I can use "Set MyWorkBookVariable = Workbooks(FileNameVariable)". I will test/check this later. In any case, I got more than I asked for. You have pretty much all of the things in this video which I was trying and thinking to implement in the current project I am working. So thanks a lot for great ideas and very helpful video. I will be watching your another video regarding Personal Macro Workbook. Your efforts and help is very appreciated.

[@huynhdang2441]

Thanks you so much! What is the code to copy and paste from multiple workbooks??

[@byakb1868]

Great video. Is it possible to send the selected information to a defined sheet in the recieving workbook? For example, my original data was collected on a Monday (I can have a cell value equal to the day, as a reference), and I want to copy it to the "Monday" sheet in the new workbook. Then i will collect new data on the Tuesday, which i want to send to the "Tuesday" sheet. Ultimately, the new data will have a reference, this will be transferred to the new workbook in the sheet labelled with the same reference.

[@marcelitopacaldo9952]

Thank you very much for this insightful video. However, I would like to ask if we can create a macro formula under paste active workbook using the reference that is displayed in a specific excel cell. By using this, we can easily change the path or reference by editing it in the cell instead of updating the macro.

[@guruprasadp6670]

Thanks Jon :-) Really Helpful

[@ValmisFilm]

How to do this so, that I do not have the other workbook open but I want to add the location to a cell from where the VBA can look for that excel file and get data from there?

[@nosrednawyt]

Great vid! I need to copy and paste info from 4 worksheets inside a workbook to MULTIPLE workbooks that are basically identical to the one I'm using to copy the info from, I just need to update some formulas. The problem is, I need to do this with 300+ workbooks, is it possible to bulk copy and paste all this info to the specific range I need in an automated way ? I was doing it manually, but it's taking forever, and I need this done ASAP for work, can someone help me out ? thnxxx

Hi, thanks for the great video, I am copy pasting info to a file where I am unable to access some squares and a block message pops up, is there a way for the VBA to bypass this and continue running the code? Thanks!

[@srikanthchitturi7283]

Hi, Great video. I have a question, I have the similar scenario. I have a table with data and I need to clear the data before adding new data from other workbook, I am able to do, but, while deleting, it leaves one row and when we copy new data, it leaves the first row as blank. Not sure, how to solve this. If you could help me, it will be great. Thanks in advance.

[@daudapriwaluyo98]

Why i cannot run the very first copy (open thype) it keeps say "the object doesn't support this property"

[@nsanerydah]

Jon I just stumbled onto this video after spending over 12+ hours of watching multiple KZbin authors show how to import a range of data from multiple workbooks into a "master file" workbook. I am an extreme beginner trying to build a new system to be used at work, but after accomplishing everything else I needed, this (import/copy) is the wall I'm struggling to get over. Does your method allow for the copying of multiple workbooks using the copy/paste below last cell method? Any assistance (or direction pointing) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and hard work.

[@beniedik]

hi, the video is good but I have a question. what can you do if the workbook that you are copying from changes the name or the file format? thankyou

As in the video at 12:38, worksheet index changed manually or statically with 1 as workbook have only 1 worksheet. My query is that is this part can be replaced through variable. Code ask user to specify the worksheet number, which need to be copied and later on, call it by variable..

Thanks for the video it helped with my project. I am stuck and here is how. I have a workbook with 5 sheets, named for each day of the week. I want to be able to have say Tuesday opened and copy it to another workbook. However tomorrow I will have Wednesday opened and will need to copy that as well. Q, is there a way to do this? Oh I forgot, all the sheets need to go onto the same sheet in the other workbook. Basically a data file that will grow day by day on the same sheet. I thought about just repeating the same code 5 times then thought there has to be an easier way I dont know about yet
