Vba excel copy sheet to another sheet

So, what I want to do, generally, is make a copy of a workbook. However, the source workbook is running my macros, and I want it to make an identical copy of itself, but without the macros. I feel like there should be a simple way to do this with VBA, but have yet to find it. I am considering copying the sheets one by one to the new workbook, which I will create. How would I do this? Is there a better way?

I would like to slightly rewrite keytarhero’s response:

Sub CopyWorkbook()

Dim sh as Worksheet,  wb as workbook

Set wb = workbooks("Target workbook")
For Each sh in workbooks("source workbook").Worksheets
   sh.Copy After:=wb.Sheets(wb.sheets.count) 
Next sh

End Sub

Edit: You can also build an array of sheet names and copy that at once.

Workbooks("source workbook").Worksheets(Array("sheet1","sheet2")).Copy _
         After:=wb.Sheets(wb.sheets.count)

Note: copying a sheet from an XLS? to an XLS will result into an error. The opposite works fine (XLS to XLSX)

Someone over at Ozgrid answered a similar question. Basically, you just copy each sheet one at a time from Workbook1 to Workbook2.

Sub CopyWorkbook()

    Dim currentSheet as Worksheet
    Dim sheetIndex as Integer
    sheetIndex = 1

    For Each currentSheet in Worksheets

        Windows("SOURCE WORKBOOK").Activate 
        currentSheet.Select
        currentSheet.Copy Before:=Workbooks("TARGET WORKBOOK").Sheets(sheetIndex) 

        sheetIndex = sheetIndex + 1

    Next currentSheet

End Sub

You could saveAs xlsx. Then you will loose the macros and generate a new workbook with a little less work.

ThisWorkbook.saveas Filename:=NewFileNameWithPath, Format:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook

I was able to copy all the sheets in a workbook that had a vba app running, to a new workbook w/o the app macros, with:

ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Copy

Assuming all your macros are in modules, maybe this link will help. After copying the workbook, just iterate over each module and delete it

You can simply write

Worksheets.Copy

in lieu of running a cycle.
By default the worksheet collection is reproduced in a new workbook.

It is proven to function in 2010 version of XL.

Here is one you might like it uses the Windows FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) to browse to a closed workbook on your desktop, then copies all of the worksheets to your open workbook:

For Each ws In Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
    If ws.Name <> "Sheet1" Then
       Sheets.Add.Name = "Sheet1"
   End If
Next

Dim fileExplorer As FileDialog
Set fileExplorer = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
Dim MyString As String

fileExplorer.AllowMultiSelect = False

  With fileExplorer
     If .Show = -1 Then 'Any file is selected
     MyString = .SelectedItems.Item(1)

     Else ' else dialog is cancelled
        MsgBox "You have cancelled the dialogue"
        [filePath] = "" ' when cancelled set blank as file path.
        End If
    End With

    LString = Range("A1").Value
    dashpos = InStr(1, LString, "") + 1
    LArray = Split(LString, "")
    'MsgBox LArray(dashpos - 1)
    FileName = LArray(dashpos)

strFileName = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").specialfolders("Desktop") & "" & FileName

Set closedBook = Workbooks.Open(strFileName)
closedBook.Application.ScreenUpdating = False
numSheets = closedBook.Sheets.Count

        For x = 1 To numSheets
            closedBook.Sheets(x).Copy After:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
        x = x + 1
                 If x = numSheets Then
                    GoTo 1000
                 End If

Copy Worksheet to New Workbook

To copy a Worksheet to a new Workbook:

Sheets("Sheet1").Copy

Copy ActiveSheet to New Workbook

To copy the ActiveSheet to a new Workbook:

ActiveSheet.Copy

Copy Multiple Sheets to New Workbook

To copy multiple Sheets to a new workbook:

ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Copy

Copy Sheet Within Same Workbook

We started off by showing you the most simple copy Sheets example: copying Sheet(s) to a new Workbook.  These examples below will show you how to copy a Sheet within the same Workbook. When copying a Sheet within a Worbook, you must specify a location.  To specify a location, you will tell VBA to move the Worksheet BEFORE or AFTER another Worksheet.

Copy Sheet Before Another Sheet

Here we will specify to copy and paste the Sheet before Sheet2

Sheets("Sheet1").Copy Before:=Sheets("Sheet2")

Copy Sheet Before First Sheet

Instead of specifying the Sheet name, you can also specify the Sheet position. Here we are copying and pasting a Sheet before the first Sheet in the Workbook.

Sheets("Sheet1").Copy Before:=Sheets(1)

The newly created Sheet will now be the first Sheet in the Workbook.
vba copy sheet before first sheet

Copy Sheet After Last Sheet

Use the After property to tell VBA to paste the Sheet AFTER another sheet. Here we will copy and paste a Sheet after the last Sheet in the Workbook:

Sheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)

Notice that we used Sheets.Count to count the number of Sheets in the Workbook.

vba copy after last sheet

Move Sheet

You can also move a Sheet within a Workbook using similar syntax. This code will move Sheet1 to the end of the Workbook:

Sheets("Sheet1").Move After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)

Copy and Name Sheet

After copying and pasting a Sheet, the newly created sheet becomes the ActiveSheet. So to rename our new sheet, simply use ActiveSheet.Name:

Sub CopySheetRename1()

Sheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
ActiveSheet.Name = "LastSheet"

End Sub

If the Sheet name already exists, the above code will generate an error.  Instead we can use “On Error Resume Next” to tell VBA to ignore naming the Sheet and proceed with the rest of the procedure:

Sub CopySheetRename2()

    Sheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
    On Error Resume Next
    ActiveSheet.Name = "LastSheet"
    On Error GoTo 0

End Sub

Or use our RangeExists Function to test if the Sheet name already exists before attempting to copy the sheet:

Sub CopySheetRename3()

    If RangeExists("LastSheet") Then
        MsgBox "Sheet already exists."
    Else
        Sheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
        ActiveSheet.Name = "LastSheet"
    End If

End Sub

Function RangeExists(WhatSheet As String, Optional ByVal WhatRange As String = "A1") As Boolean
    Dim test As Range
    On Error Resume Next
    Set test = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(WhatSheet).Range(WhatRange)
    RangeExists = Err.Number = 0
    On Error GoTo 0
End Function

VBA Programming | Code Generator does work for you!

Copy and Name Sheet Based on Cell Value

You might also want to copy and name a Sheet based on a Cell Value.  This code will name the Worksheet based on the Cell value in A1

Sub CopySheetRenameFromCell()

    Sheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
    On Error Resume Next
    ActiveSheet.Name = Range("A1").Value
    On Error GoTo 0

End Sub

Copy Worksheet to Another Workbook

So far we’ve worked with copying Sheets within a Workbook. Now we will cover examples to copy and paste Sheets to other Workbooks. This code will copy a Sheet to the beginning of another workbook:

Sheets("Sheet1").Copy Before:=Workbooks("Example.xlsm").Sheets(1)

This will copy a Worksheet to the end of another Workbook.

Sheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Workbooks("Example.xlsm").Sheets(Workbooks("Example.xlsm").Sheets.Count)

Notice we replaced 1 with Workbooks(“Example.xlsm”).Sheets.Count to get the last Worksheet.

Copy Worksheet to a Closed Workbook

You might also want to copy a Worksheet to a Workbook that is closed.  This code will open a closed Workbook so that you can copy a Sheet into it.

Sub CopySheetToClosedWB()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    Set closedBook = Workbooks.Open("D:Dropboxexcelarticlesexample.xlsm")
    Sheets("Sheet1").Copy Before:=closedBook.Sheets(1)
    closedBook.Close SaveChanges:=True

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Copy Sheet from Another Workbook Without Opening it

Conversely, this code will copy a Worksheet FROM a closed Workbook without you needing to manually open the workbook.

Sub CopySheetFromClosedWB()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    Set closedBook = Workbooks.Open("D:Dropboxexcelarticlesexample.xlsm")
    closedBook.Sheets("Sheet1").Copy Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
    closedBook.Close SaveChanges:=False

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Notice that in both these examples we disabled ScreenUpdating so the process runs in the background.

Duplicate Excel Sheet Multiple times

You can also duplicate an Excel Sheet multiple times by using a Loop.

Sub CopySheetMultipleTimes()
Dim n As Integer
Dim i As Integer
On Error Resume Next

    n = InputBox("How many copies do you want to make?")

    If n > 0 Then
        For i = 1 To n
            ActiveSheet.Copy After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Worksheets.Count)
        Next
    End If

End Sub

Copy Data from one Worksheet to Another in Excel VBA

  • Copy Data from one Worksheet to Another in Excel VBA

Description

When we are dealing with many worksheet, it is a routine thing to copy data from one worksheet to another in Excel VBA. For example, we may automate a task which required to get the data from different worksheets (some times different workbooks). In this situation, we need to copy the some part the worksheet and paste it in a target worksheet.

Copy Data from one Worksheet to Another in Excel VBA – Solution(s)

Copy data from one Worksheet to anotherWe can use Copy method of a range to copy the data from one worksheet to another worksheet.

Copy Data from one Worksheet to Another in Excel VBA – An Example

The following example will show you copying the data from one sheet to another using Excel VBA.

Code:
'In this example I am Copying the Data from Sheet1 (Source) to Sheet2 (Destination)
Sub sbCopyRangeToAnotherSheet()

'Method 1
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:B10").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("E1")

'Method 2
'Copy the data
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:B10").Copy
'Activate the destination worksheet
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
'Select the target range
Range("E1").Select
'Paste in the target destination
ActiveSheet.Paste

Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub
Instructions:
  1. Open an excel workbook
  2. Enter some data in Sheet1 at A1:B10
  3. Press Alt+F11 to open VBA Editor
  4. Insert a Module for Insert Menu
  5. Copy the above code and Paste in the code window
  6. Save the file as macro enabled workbook
  7. Press F5 to run it

Now you should see the required data (from sheet1) is copied to the target sheet (sheet2).

Explanation:

We can use two methods to copy the data:
Method 1: In this method, we do not required to activate worksheet. We have to mention the source and target range. This is the simple method to copy the data.
Method 2: In this method, we have to activate the worksheet and paste in a range of active worksheet.

The main difference between two methods is, we should know the destination worksheet name in the first method, in second method we can just activate any sheet and paste it.

Download the Example Macro Workbook:

Download the Example VBA Macro File and Explore the code example to copy the data from one sheet to another worksheet:

Copy Data Form One Sheet To Another Sheet

Copy from One Sheet And Paste in Another Worksheet

Here is the simple VBA Code to Copy and Paste the Data from one worksheet to another.

Sub VBAMacroToCopyDataFromOneSheetToAnother()

'You can use the below statement to Copy and Paste the Data
'Sheets(Your Source Sheet).Rows(Your Source Range).Copy Destination:=Sheets(Your Target Sheet).Range(Your Target Range)
'For Example:

Sheets("SourceSheet").Range("B4:B5").Copy Destination:=Sheets("TargetSheet").Range("C2")

End Sub

Copy Data into Another Sheet based on Criteria

Most of the times we need VBA code to copy data from one sheet to another based on criteria. The following VBA Code to helps you to Copy and Paste the Data based on certain condition.

Sub CopyDataBasedOnStatusCondtion()
'You can also copy entire row and paste into different sheets based on certain criteria.
'See the below example to copy the rows based on criteria


Dim lRow, cRow As Long
lRow = Sheets("YourMain").Range("A50000").End(xlUp).Row 'Last row in your main sheet
'change the sheet name as per your needs


'Let's find these items in the Main sheet and send to the respective sheet
For j = lRow To 1 Step -1
'Assuming you have the drop-down in the first Column (= Column A)
    
'looping throu your main sheet and copying the data into respective sheet
    If Sheets("YourMain").Range("A" & j) = "Pending" Then
        cRow = Sheets("Pending").Range("A50000").End(xlUp).Row
        Sheets("YourMain").Rows(j).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Pending").Range("A" & cRow + 1)
        
        'You can delete the copied rows in the source sheet using below statement
        'Sheets("YourMain").Rows(j).Delete
    ElseIf Sheets("YourMain").Range("A" & j) = "Follow up" Then
        cRow = Sheets("Follow up").Range("A50000").End(xlUp).Row
        Sheets("YourMain").Rows(j).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Follow up").Range("A" & cRow + 1)
        
        'Sheets("YourMain").Rows(j).Delete
    
    ElseIf Sheets("YourMain").Range("A" & j) = "Completed" Then
        cRow = Sheets("Completed").Range("A50000").End(xlUp).Row
        Sheets("YourMain").Rows(j).Copy Destination:=Sheets("Completed").Range("A" & cRow + 1)
        
        'Sheets("YourMain").Rows(j).Delete
    End If
Next


'*NOTE:if this solution is for your clients, -
'You may have to write some validation steps-
'to check if all required sheets are available in the workbook
'to avoid future issue.
End Sub

    ‘If your input files are always same then store them in an Array
    mySource=Array(“File1.xlsx”,”File1.xlsx”,…,”File12.xlsx”)

    ‘If they are not same always then read your workbook names and store it in an Array (mySource)


    'open each workbook

    For iCntr=1 to 12
    set sourceWB=Workbooks.Open(mySource(iCntr-1)) ' since array starts from 0
    sourceWB.Sheets("YourSheetName").Range("YourRange").copy ThisWorkbook.Sheets("YourTargetSheet").Range("TargetRange")

    How can we select user choice range and paste it in user defined range? Can we give ability to transpose the data if user wants? Do u gave any vba script that can help me with that?

    Hi,

    We give the user to select a range to copy and range to paste in two different ways.

    1. You can use two input boxes: one is to accept the ranges from users and other one is to choose the range to paste.
    Please check this link to for advanced input box examples: http://analysistabs.com/excel-vba/inputbox-accept-values/

    2.The other method is, creating userform and place two RefEdit controls. one is for to select the range to copy and the other one is the for accepting the range to paste.

    So, now you know the range to copy and the range to paste the data. Then you can use, pastespecial method to transpose the data

    Example: Let’s say you accepted two ranges from user and stored as rngToCopy and rngToPaste

    Range("rngToCopy").Copy
    Range(rngToPaste).Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= False, Transpose:=True

    Hope this helps.
    Thanks-PNRao!

    Hey! I work for a transportation company and have a workbook in which I keep track of trailers parked at a lot daily. Every day I copy the previous day’s sheet and rename to today’s date.

    So I have sheet “05-05” and I copy it and rename the new sheet to “05-06”. I have been Googling this for hours now to no avail: I am trying to create a button that runs a macro that creates a copy of the active sheet, and renames it to today’s date. If I have to include the year in my sheet names that is fine. Can anyone help?

    Hi there,

    Could you please help me with the following:

    I have two worksheets named Data and Levels. In Data worksheet I have thousands of rows and three columns ( region, ID, and sum). In Levels worksheet I have only hundreds of rows and two columns (ID and Level). What I need is to put for each row in the first sheet its corresponding level from the second sheet.

    I’m only a beginner, so detailed explanation would be much appreciated,

    Thank you

    I am working on a macro to transfer data from one spreadsheet to another. I would like ot transfer the data to the next open row within the second spreadsheet. Basically I want to take electronic batch sheets, with data entered in them, and transfer that data to a central source for record keeping. Is this doable?

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hi Josh,
    We can do this, every time you need to find the last row in the common file and update the data from that particular row. You can search for the examples provided to find the last row in the excel sheet. Or, you can send me the sample file.

    Thanks-PNRao!

    Hello

    The code works great but is there away of molding it slightly so instead of “Activatesheet.paste” you can paste only the values?

    Thank you

    Hi K.S.Gill,

    You can check the duplicated records while updating it. You can do this in different ways:

    1.if your input data having minimal rows and columns then you can use for loop to check the duplicates and update record by record.

    2. If you have lot of records in your input file, then import all the records to your target file and then delete the duplicate records in one sheet using Delete Duplicate function available in the Excel.

    3. If may not want to disturb your target sheet -then you can duplicate the sheet and import the latest data into this temporary sheet. And run the macro to delete duplicates and then merge the unique records to your actual worksheet.

    Hope this helps.
    Thanks-PNRao!

    Hi Sir,

    I am in starting stage of using macros for good effect, here we have a workbook, in which we will have lots of data in sheet1(Data_Source), we have copy data from sheet 1 to sheet2(“Data_Extracted”) with specific headers matching in sheet1 to sheet2
    we have to copy only those data which have the specific headings.

    the data in the sheet1 is dynamic and keeps on changing at the End of each day, and we need only values into sheet2.
    in sheet1 we will have formulas in almost all columns,so we require only values to be pasted in sheet2

    in sheet1 we will be having like for ex 32 columns(headings), we need only 9or 10 columns out of those 32.

    please send me the code for this to my mail, your help is highly required.

    Many Thanks in advance.

    please help ASAP.

I have been trying to figure out what code line I need to search for the next available row and then paste my data. Can anyone help me with this?

(maybe less or maybe more)… I want to open the files from the directory and paste to master.xls assigned tabs. (i.e. abc.xls must go to master.xls TAB ABC, efg.xls must go to master.xls TAB EFG tab, and so on). I see a lot of vba that loop through directory if filename xls THEN copy to just master sheet. But since my number of file varies each time, and each file must be paste to assigned TABS. Please assist and thanks in advance.

This will help me consolidate the data am receiving from my peers to a master file. Ideally there should be a VBA button on the source workbook if i click on it, that should trigger copying to the Master Workbook.

    Hi,
    I have been told in some forums that this isn’t possible, but have been working on figuring this out for weeks! The company I work for is a Gov’t Subcontractor. The owner has a master spreadsheet “Pipeline Data”. There are headers in row 1, data from columns A-S and currently 348 entries. Columns M & N contain years for the solicitation date and award date (these can be the same year or 5 years apart). Is it possible to have a code transfer the data in the rows that have 2015 as the year in either M or N to a worksheet “2015”? The owner wants to be able to click on the worksheet 2015, 2016, 2017 etc. and see all the solicitations and awards that will occur in that year.
    The other tricky part is he wants it to automatically update when I enter new data in a row….so for example, if the new data has solicitation year 2015, but awarded in 2018 then it will automatically copy to both sheets 2015 & 2018.
    I did find a code in a forum that worked checking column M for the dates, but having no experience with VBA, I have no idea how to rewrite it to check both columns M & N. As I stated, others have told me Excel was not capable of doing this, but I want someone else’s opinion. I know the owner is tired of hearing “I’m still working on it”, but I have yet to find a way for this to work and I am a determined lady. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer me!!

    Hi Dima,

    You can write VBA code for this in Selection_Change() event of the worksheet:

    The below example will write current date and time on the B1 when you click on the A1:

    Please paste the below code in the required worksheet code module:

    Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
        If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
            
            Target.Offset(0, 1) = Now()
            Target.Offset(0, 1).Select
            'Or Range("B1")= Now()
        End If
    End Sub

    Hi there if its possible to help me with a very complicate issue in vba.

    Well the situation is this: i have a set of around 50 files (more less) and there are all in the same format (i have created them). There are answers from a research that i did (with names and values 0,1 or 2). Like the following:
    B5 = Question 1
    B6 = Question 2
    B7 = Question 3
    etc
    to Question 30

    from D4 to N4 horizontaly there are names like (Thomson, James, Howard…etc ) where are corresponded values like 0 or 1 or 2 per name and question. The only difference between these 50 files is that not always each cell is fullfiled from (d4 to N4 with names) . Sometimes are less than 11 names and left it blank the coressponded cell but the format is the same for all 50 files.
    What i want to do is little complicated. I want to take each response from FILE1,FILE2…to FILE50 and copy the values into another file or sheet. In the new file or sheet i want to organized the answers in lists per answer and per question.

    For example if someone responded
    D5=0 (Thomson responded 0),
    E5=0 (James responded 0)
    F5=2 (Howard responded 2) in File1,

    and in File2
    D5=0 (Brandley responded 0),
    E5=1 (Clarck responded 1)
    F5=2 (Nickolson responded 2)

    I would like to create a list like the following anywhere in a the new sheet or file:
    Question1
    (answered 0 )
    Thomson
    James
    Brandley

    Question1
    (Answered 1)
    Clarck

    Question1
    (Answered 2 )
    Howard
    Nickolson

    These lists should be created for every question from Question1 to Question30.
    I hope i explain well what i would like to do and i hope even more and i would appreciate any suggestion and advice from anyone for this complicated work.

    Sub CopyRangeFromSheet1toSheet2()
    Dim lastRow As Long
        lastRow = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A100000").End(xlUp).Row + 1 ' then next free row in sheet2
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:G1").Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A" & lastRow)

    Also, I’m trying to filter and copy some rows from that sheet to another.

    And repeat the process for sheet F02, F03 to F10. Some of the tables may be empty sometimes. Is there any way to use N/A in that case?

    Hi,

    I am new to VBA code and don’t really know anything about coding. I am desperately trying to get my worksheets to:
    When yes is entered in a column the macro copies the row the yes is in and transfers it from the waiting list spreadsheet it is in, to the allocated spreadsheet in the next available row, of the same workbook. It would be great if once transfered the data could be deleted from the waiting list spreadsheet and the data below it be moved up.

    This is what i have put so far (like I said I am not a natural at this):

    Sub MoveText()

    ‘ MoveText Macro
    ‘ Move text from Waiting List tab to Allocated tab


    Range(“L8”).Select
    Do Until Selection.Value = “yes”
    If LCase(Selection.Value) = “yes” Then
    Selection.EntireRow.Copy
    Loop
    End If

    Sheets(“Allocated”).Select
    Range(“A6”).Select

    If IsEmpty(ActiveCell.Offset(1)) Then
    ActiveCell.Offset(1).Select
    Else
    ActiveCell.End(xlDown).Offset(1).Select
    End If

    Hi All

    Not sure whether this is acheiveable but here goes…

    I have a workbook with 3 work sheets – Order Form / Stock Level / Order History

    When completing the Order Form, a check is carried out agasint the inputted cell to see if it is in stock, if it is then the Stock Level work sheet is updated accordingly. If it is not availble (<=0) then you are prompted on the Order Form sheet that this isnt in stock and the Stock Level sheet is updated to show that stock is required for order. – If you can follow my poor description then grand, if not – not to worry as this is the part I dont need help with!

    What I do need help with/ words of advise/ shoulder to cry on etc is with the relationship between Order Form & Order History. Ideally, once you have completed the Order Form all the details will be passed through to the Order History, but I only have one instance of the Order Form and the Order History so when I need to put an order through for another member of staff it over – rides the details in the Order History as opposed to ‘adding’ it to the Order History sheet.

    Is there a way, where if you complete Order Form and ‘submit’ it will populate the Order History sheet wit the relevant data and then clear the data out of the Order Form ready for the next entry – whilst keeping this data stored within the Order History Sheet?

    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    I am struggling with copying data from master file to rest of tabs based on filter. Assuming I have master sheet with column name application and my tabs are arranged with column names, I wanted to copy data from master sheet to corresponding tabs of each application, with keeping master data as well. Also if something is present in master tab but not in application tab, that row must be moved to separate tab I created. This tab is common to all application tab. Reason being, this master sheet is going to get updated every day and I want my tabs to have current data but keeping the old one in misc. tab. I will really appreciate the help. Thanks.

    In “sheet1” the range I want to copy is from A2:D101 but I want to copy only the active cells in that given range.

    In “Data List” I have only one active worksheet named “Item List” where I want to paste the data.
    The range where I want to paste it is from column A2:D2 continuously.

    If Sheets(“Sheet9”).Range(“C” & j) = (**Needed to reference, E6 in Sheet12, which is a Dropdown box made**) Then
    cRow = Sheets(“Sheet2”).Range(“A500”).End(xlUp).Row
    Sheets(“Sheet9”).Rows(j).Copy Destination:=Sheets(“Sheet2”).Range(“A” & cRow + 1)

    For the life of me I can’t get it to work

    Any help greatly appreciated!

Copying data from one worksheet to another is a pretty often and routine scenario. Fortunately, we have a way to VBA Copy Sheet data from one to another using Excel VBA Macro. What is more there are many ways for us to approach this presumably simple problem.

VBA Copy using Range Copy Function

A simple way to copy data between worksheets is using the VBA Range Copy function. We can do this in many ways

Sub CopySpecifcRange()
    Dim sourceWs As Worksheet, dstWs As Worksheet
    Set sourceWs = Sheets("Src")
    Set dstWs = Sheets("Dst")
    
    Call sourceWs.Range("A1:E5").Copy(dstWs.Range("A1"))
End Sub

Below the simple steps covered above:

  1. Declare and define your source and destination worksheets (“Src” and “Dst”)
  2. Use Range Copy function to copy the specific range from source to destination worksheet

This is the view before of the example worksheet:
VBA Copy example - Before
This is after using the VBA Range Copy function:
VBA Copy example - After

VBA Copy only on the UsedRanged

What to do however when you don’t want to bother with checking the used range of your source worksheet and just want to copy it whole? You can use the UsedRange attribute of the Source Worksheet – see example below.

Sub CopyUsedRange()
    Dim sourceWs As Worksheet, dstWs As Worksheet
    
    Set sourceWs = Sheets("Src")
    Set dstWs = Sheets("Dst")
    
    Call sourceWs.UsedRange.Copy(dstWs.Cells(1, 1))
End Sub

What’s the difference? In the above code snippet instead of copying a specific Range, we copy the entire UsedRange of the source Worksheet. The UsedRange is always any rectangle Range of cells that has been modified in any way in the Worksheet i.e. edited, color change, border etc. A UsedRange always has a starting and ending cell i.e. closest and furthest from A1 that have been modified. In my case the result was the same but the code above is much more convenient.

VBA Copy and paste values only

The VBA Copy Range function will copy the entire cell contents including formatting, borders, conditional formatting etc. Sometimes you want however to copy a variety of selected information or only the cell values without formatting. For this we would need to modify the macro above:

Sub CopyValuesOnly()
    Dim sourceWs As Worksheet, dstWs As Worksheet
    
    Set sourceWs = Sheets("Src")
    Set dstWs = Sheets("Dst")
    
    sourceWs.Range("A1:E5").Copy
    
    Call dstWs.Range("A1").PasteSpecial(Paste:=xlPasteValues)
End Sub

This time we modified the last two lines of the previous procedures. We first copy the selected Range from the source Worksheet. Then we use the VBA Range PasteSpecial function to paste the Range from the clipboard with only values to our destination Worksheet. This is the effect:
VBA Copy Cells without formatting

Conclusions

To VBA Copy Sheet data is simple and is regular use case. Do also check out my SQL AddIn for how to use SQL to copy data for one or multiple Worksheets.

You can copy and move a sheet in Excel using a VBA code, and in this tutorial, we will learn different ways to do that.

Copy a Sheet within the Same Workbook

If you want to copy a sheet within the same workbook, you can use the following code where you have used the copy method.

Sheets("Sheet5").Copy Before:=Sheets(1)

In this code, sheet1 is the first sheet in the workbook, and when you run this code, it copies the sheet with the name “Sheet5” before the first sheet in the workbook.

And if you want to copy it after the first sheet then the code would be like the following.

Sheets("Sheet5").Copy After:=Sheets(1)

And if you want to copy it after the first sheet, then the code would be like the following.

Sheets("Sheet5").Copy Before:=Sheets("Sheet3")
Sheets("Sheet5").Copy After:=Sheets("Sheet3")

When you run this VBA code, it copies the “Sheet5” before and after the “Sheet3”.

With the following line of code, you can copy a sheet after the last sheet in the workbook. It uses the sheet.count to get the count of the sheets and then uses the number to copy the sheet to the last.

Sheets("myNewSheet").Move After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)

Copy a Sheet in the Same Workbook with New Name

And if you want to copy a sheet and then want to rename it instantly, you need to use the name property, just like the following code.

Sheets("Sheet5").Move Before:=Sheets(1)
ActiveSheet.Name = "myNewSheet"

Move a Sheet within the Same Workbook

To move a sheet in the same workbook you need to use the move method as you have in the following code.

Sheets("Sheet5").Move After:=Sheets(1)

This code will move the “Sheet5” before the “Sheet2” as you can see in the above snapshot.

Copy a Sheet to the New Workbook

When you use the copy method without defining any sheet in the current workbook, VBA opens a new workbook and copy that sheet to that workbook.

Sheets("Sheet5").Copy

And to move a sheet to a new workbook.

Sheets("Sheet5").Move

Copy Multiple Sheets to the New Workbook

If you want to add multiple sheets to the new workbook in one go then use code like the following.

Sheets(Array("Sheet2", "Sheet3", "Sheet4", "Sheet5")).Copy

The above code creates an array of the sheets and then copy all of them to a new workbook.

Copy a Sheet to the Another Workbook

If you want to copy a sheet to another workbook that is already open then you can mention the workbook name after or before the argument.

Sheets("Sheet1").Copy Before:=Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").Sheets(1)

The above code copies the Sheet1 from the active workbook and adds to the before the first sheet of the Book1.xlsx that is already open.

 And if you want to move it.

Sheets("Sheet1").Move Before:=Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").Sheets(1)

Copy a Sheet to a Closed Workbook

There’s a way that you can copy a sheet to a workbook that is closed and you don’t need to open it. Look at the below code.

Sub vba_copy_sheet()
Dim mybook As Workbook

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set mybook = _
Workbooks.Open _
("C:UsersDellDesktopsamplefile.xlsx")

Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").Sheets("Sheet2").Copy Before:=mybook.Sheets(1)
mybook.Close SaveChanges:=True

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

In this code, you have the myBook variable and then a workbook assigned to it. We have turned off the screen updating so that code can perform the task at the backend.

Copy Sheet from Another Workbook without Opening it

In the same way, you can copy and move a sheet from a closed workbook. Look at the below code.

Sub vba_copy_sheet()
Dim mybook As Workbook

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set mybook = _
Workbooks.Open _
("C:UsersDellDesktopsamplefile.xlsx")

mybook.Sheets("mySheet").Copy Before:=Workbooks("Book1.xlsx").Sheets(1)
mybook.Close SaveChanges:=True

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
