  • Reading data from Cell Range

Description:

Its one of my first questions when I started learning EXcel VBA, How to Read or Get Data from Worksheet Cell to VBA? To automate any thing in excel, first we need to read the data in Worksheet and based on that we can execute the next steps.

Read or Get Data from Worksheet Cell to VBA in Excel – Solution(s):

It is very simple to read the data from Excel to VBA. We can use Cell or Range Object to refer a Worksheet Cell.

Get Data from Worksheet Cell – An Example of using Cell Object

The following example will show you how to read or get the data from Worksheet Cell using Cell Object.

Example Codes

In this example I am reading the data from first Cell of the worksheet.

Sub sbGetCellData()

MsgBox Cells(1, 1)
'Here the first value is Row Value and the second one is column value 
'Cells(1, 1) means first row first column
End Sub

In this example I am reading the data from first row and fourth column of the worksheet.

Sub sbGetCellData1()

MsgBox Cells(1, 4)

End Sub

Here is sample picture, which helps you to understand this concepts. Any Row or Column number start with 1 and You have to specify Cell(RowNumber,ColumnNumber) to read the data from a Cell of the Worksheet.

Reading data from Cells

Get Data from Worksheet Cell – An Example of using Range Object

The following example will show you how to read or get the data from Worksheet Cell or Range using Range Object.

Example Codes

In this example I am reading the data from first Cell of the worksheet.

Sub sbGetCellData2()

MsgBox Range("A1")
'Here you have to specify the Cell Name which you want to read - A is the Column and 1 is the Row

End Sub

Here is sample picture, which helps you to understand this concepts. If you select any cell in the worksheet, you can see the name of that cell in the Name Box.

Reading data from Cell Range

Get Data from Worksheet Cell – Specifying the Parent Objects

When you are reading using Cell or Range object, it will read the data from Active Sheet. If you want to read the data from another sheet, you have to mention the sheet name while reading the data.

The below example is reading the data from Range A5 of Sheet2:

Sub sbGetCellData2()

MsgBox Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A5")
'Here the left side part is sheets to refer and the right side part is the range to read.

End Sub

In the same way you can mention the workbook name, if you are reading the data from different workbooks.

    Hi Magesh,

    You can use the following code. Paste this code in your worksheet module:


    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    'print if B is not empty and A is empty
    If Cells(Target.Row, 2) <> " And Cells(Target.Row, 1) = " Then
    Cells(Target.Row, 1) = Target.Row
    End If


    End Sub

    Thanks-PNRao!

    Hi,

    This information is really helpful; I have one question:
    1. I want to read the data from cell(i.e sheet2-Row1)
    2. It has to read Unique record from Row1
    3. It has to give count in sheet1 as summary based on criteria

    Regards
    Praveen

    August 17, 2014 at 11:25 AM — Reply

    Hi Praveen,

    You can use Worksheet functions to perform this task. You can use CountIf or SumIf functions to create summaries based on criteria.

    For Example:
    cnt = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range(“A1:A10”), “Your Criteria”)

    Thanks-PNRao!

    Hi Tanvir,
    We can use two for loops to do this, but using worksheet function will be simpler. Here is the macro to Search For A String And Get The Corresponding Value From Other Sheet.

    Sub sbSearchForAStringAndGetTheCorrespondingValueFromOtherSheet()
    lRowSheet1 = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A100000").End(xlUp).Row ' Please refer the code finding the last row in our 100+ Example
    
    For i = 1 To lRowSheet1
    If Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & i) <> " Then
        If Not IsError(Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & i), Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A:A"), 0)) Then
            Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & i) = Sheets("Sheet2").Range("C" & Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & i), Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A:A"), 0))
        End If
    End If
    Next
    End Sub

    Hello everyone,

    I have an excel master sheet that is created for every customer filename will change each time, the workbook layout is the same. I would like a macro to import some of the information from the master sheet, I have 3 sheets in the workbook, from each sheet I would need to copy few cell data (any range would be fine, i will change that to fit by needs) to a new workbook. I would like the macro button also to move down each time the new data is imported. New Workbook data range paste to A2:D2, next A3:D3 and so on. Below is the code i have so far.

    Thank you in advance,

    This is the Code I have.

    VB:
    Sub Foo()
    Dim vFile As Variant
    Dim wbCopyTo As Workbook
    Dim wsCopyTo As Worksheet
    Dim wbCopyFrom As Workbook
    Dim wsCopyFrom As Worksheet

    Set wbCopyTo = ActiveWorkbook
    Set wsCopyTo = ActiveSheet

    ‘Open file with data to be copied

    vFile = Application.GetOpenFilename(“Excel Files (*.xl*),” & _
    “*.xl*”, 1, “Select Excel File”, “Open”, False)

    ‘If Cancel then Exit
    If TypeName(vFile) = “Boolean” Then

    Charlie Poland
    Gender: Male
    Date: 13-8-69

    have searched high and low, but in vain.

    The actual excel on which I’m working consists of 11 Columns, and have to deal with 300 to 350 rows at a time, which is a cumbersome task.

    Ok. So this problem is getting on my nerves for some time now. I made damage calculator using macros. Works pretty good. Now I want to add temporary hit points into account.
    Let’s say it looks like this:

    DMG TotalDMG TempHP HP
    2 3 7 24

    So, basicaly, I need to deplete TempHP first and with every dmg calculation to see if there is any TempHP left. So with every calculation I need to check the value of TempHP cell and DMG cell, then do TempHP – DMG (7-2) and the result should be new TempHP value (5). And when DMG is bigger than TempHP do the following: HP – (DMG – TempHP) and set TempHP to 0.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, this is wonderful platform and thank you all for yours comments! I’m pretty new in VBA and I’m finding this very helpful. Supposing I have excel file that has huge informations capture in it and these informations could be actions, time the action was done, number of actions performed for several users and are all ranged columns per user. How should write a script to extract this data based on those that user performed with <3 minutes, compute totals number of actions done by all user in specific time slot, categories the number of activities done in range of <2,3-4, 4< time difference. I will be very delighted.

    Hello, I have Category in column A and number of teams in column B and I already can create automatically worksheets with the names on column A, but now I want to paste on each new worksheet the data corresponding to the number of teams in column B.

    I already named the ranges so whenever I have e.g. 6 on column B , I just need to select data range _6 and paste it on A1 on the new worksheet.

    Can you tell me how to code this?

    Hi – I am totally new to excel macro. I give below my macro. i would like to write the macro in one file and execute the same many times on the same day based on some criteria.

    My data has City name, date of transaction and other data spread over a few columns .

    1. I would like to select one file where the all transaction details are available. (Say AllData.xlsx).
    2. City Name will be received as Input at Macro as variable

    3. Need to select and open this file and read the contents row by row and write to another file -(Output File) (this file name to be generated into a variable like – OutputFileName = City Name + “Transactions Till ” + Yesterday Date + “.xlsx”. This file need to be created inside macro with the name assigned.

    4. The data read in AllData should be one row in full (or column by column as you recommend) and based on the first column (city name) matching with City Name received as input.

    5. If matching need to write on Output file one entire row.
    6. Read Next Row from AllData and if matching write to Output file
    7. Above process to be repeated till Last Record of AllData File.

    I tried but not getting correct code. Request you to give me the code and help me asap.

VBA to Read Excel Data Using Connection String

Complete Excel VBA Course

Sometimes as a programmer you need to read heavy (more then 5 MB) Excel files. There are two ways you can read data from Excel files:

  • Open the file using VBA and read the data. Click Here

  • Stablish ADODB connection with Excel file and read data using SQL queries

Here I will be explaining how you can read heavy files with ADODB connection with Excel File and read data using SQL queries:

VBA Code to Read Excel Data using Connection String

Below is the VBA code which uses ADODB connection and reads data from Excel file:

'This function reads data from Excel file using ADODB connection
'Note: Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.0 Library reference is required to run this code
Sub ReadFromExcel()
    '
    Dim strConString As String
    Dim strQuery As String
    Dim objCon As ADODB.Connection
    Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
    Dim strDataSource As String
    Dim lCounter As Long
    '
    'Full path of the Excel file from which data needs to be read
    strDataSource = "E:WorkExcelSirJiPosts29. VBA Code to Read Excel Data using Connection StringDummy Data.xlsx"
    '
    'Define Connection string
    strConString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source='" & strDataSource & "';Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;"";"
    '
    'Set the SQL query
    'Things to note here: Data is the name of the sheet which needs to be followed by $ in the query
    '[Created At] > #01-01-2000# is the where clause which is optional
    strQuery = "SELECT * FROM [Data$] WHERE [Created At] > #01-01-2000#"
    '
    'Set the new instance of Connection and Recordset
    Set objCon = New ADODB.Connection
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
    '
    'Open the connection
    objCon.Open strConString
    '
    'Run the SQL query and store the result in rs variable
    rs.Open strQuery, objCon, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
    '
    'Set the initial counter to 2nd row to paste the data
    lCounter = 2
    '
    'Read the data from recordset until it is not empty
    While rs.EOF = False
        Sheet1.Range("A" & lCounter).Value = rs.Fields(0) 'User Id
        Sheet1.Range("B" & lCounter).Value = rs.Fields(1) 'Full Name

        lCounter = lCounter + 1 'Increase the counter by 1
        rs.MoveNext 'Move the recordset to next record

Assuming you want to copy the entire sheet onto a blank sheet in your current workbook and only keep values (your question doesn’t specify that too well), you could replace this line:

targetSheet.Range("A6", "G10").Value = sourceSheet.Range("A2", "G6").Value

With this:

sourceSheet.UsedRange.Copy targetSheet.Range("A1")
sourceSheet.UsedRange.Value = sourceSheet.UsedRange.Value

Hope that proves to do the trick!

UPDATE


Baed upon your last comment, try replacing this line:

sourceSheet.UsedRange.Copy targetSheet.Range("A1")

With this line:

Intersect(sourceSheet.UsedRange, sourceSheet.UsedRange.Offset(1,0)).Copy targetSheet.Range("A1")

The final part Range("A1") can be updated to paste the results wherever you want them.

Hope this does the trick!!

Excel Import Data From Another Workbook – VBA Codes

To pull data from an external Excel file, use on of these scenarios.

  1. Closed Excel file: Using VBA Import data with Workbook object
  2. Opened Workbook: Using VBA Read Excel file.
  3. External Reference within Worksheets.
  4. ODBC Data Import from another workbook.

Excel – Pull data from another Workbook using VBA

To understand how to get data from another Excel file, lets assume these 2 workbook names.

  • Source: In this workbook, VBA code will be executed to write or import data from/to Target file.
  • Target: This workbook has the data that the Source Workbook will read or modify through VBA.

1. VBA To Update Closed Workbook

This Excel vba import data from another workbook without opening the file manually.

First we will create an Workbook object to refer the external Excel file.  And use that object to import data into our Active workbook or Source Workbook.

Let’s see the actual VBA code for this purpose. Copy paste the below code to VB Editor and execute the code by pressing F5. Make sure that the Target file exists in correct path as mentioned in Target_Path in the code, before executing the code.

Sub VBA_Read_Data_Another_External_Workbook()

    '''''Define Object for Target Workbook
    Dim Target_Workbook As Workbook
    Dim Source_Workbook As Workbook
    Dim Target_Path As String
    
    '''''Assign the Workbook File Name along with its Path
    '''''Change path of the Target File name
    Target_Path = "D:Sample.xlsx"
    Set Target_Workbook = Workbooks.Open(Target_Path)
    Set Source_Workbook = ThisWorkbook
    
    '''''With Target_Workbook object now, it is possible to pull any data from it
    '''''Read Data from Target File
    Target_Data = Target_Workbook.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1)
    Source_Workbook.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1) = Target_Data
    
    '''''Update Target File
    Source_data = Source_Workbook.Sheets(1).Cells(3, 1)
    Target_Workbook.Sheets(1).Cells(2, 1) = Source_data
    
    '''''Close Target Workbook
    Source_Workbook.Save
    Target_Workbook.Save
    Target_Workbook.Close False
    
    '''''Process Completed
    MsgBox "Task Completed"
    
End Sub

2. VBA Read Excel file or Write To Open Workbook?

If a workbook is already in opened and executing, then you can reference that Excel with its name through ‘Workbooks’ collection. You have to use the workbook name itself inside the code to read or write content as mentioned in this sample code.

Sub Write_To_Open_Excel()
    Dim wb As Workbook
    
    'Reference Workbook with its name
    Workbooks("Book2").Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
    Workbooks("Book3.xls").Worksheets("Sheet2").Activate
    
    'Search for Each Opened Workbook
    For Each wb In Workbooks
        If wb.Name = "Book2" Then
            wb.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1) = "Writing To Open Excel Worksheet - Testing"
        End If
    Next
End Sub

3. External Reference to Import Data from another Workbook

With this technique, in the Excel we pull data from another cell by using references. For example, in Cell A1 if we need to get date from Cell B1, we enter “=B1” in cell A1. This is a reference that is made within the scope of current workbook.

In our example if we need to refer the Target sheet, use the command as below.

=’D:[sample.xlsx]Sheet1′!A2

This will fetch the data from the external workbook.

Reference from Microsoft: How to create External reference and pull data from another excel?

4. Data Import Option or ODBC in Excel VBA

This is similar to Data Import facility available in Excel. To do this, the Target workbook should be having some table defined in it.

To import the data from Target, Go to Source Workbook, Data->From Other Sources ->From Microsoft Query and Give the path of the Target Workbook or use the below code by modifying the File path and Column Header Details.

Sub Data_Import_Recorded_Macro()

    '''''Change File path and Column Headers to Use this code
    With ActiveSheet.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=0, Source:= _
        "ODBC;DSN=Excel Files;DBQ=D:Sample.xlsx;DefaultDir=D:;DriverId=1046;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;" _
        , Destination:=Range("$A$1")).QueryTable
        .CommandText = Array( _
        "SELECT `Sheet1$`.Column1, `Sheet1$`.Column2, `Sheet1$`.Column3" & Chr(13) & "" & Chr(10) & "FROM `D:Sample.xlsx`.`Sheet1$` `Sheet1$`" _
        )
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .BackgroundQuery = True
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .PreserveColumnInfo = True
        .ListObject.DisplayName = "Table_Query_from_Excel_Files"
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
    
End Sub

These are some of the methods that are available to import from an external workbook to current active workbook. But still, this is not the limit.

Note: To read a Plain Text file or binary file, use VBA File Handling commands as in this link. How to Read contents from a Text File using VBA?

There might be other feasible methods known to others. If there is any, please post a reference as you find.

In this article I will explain how you can use VBA for Excel to get data from another workbook.


Excel Object Model:

In the figure below you can see the basic object model of an Excel application:
Excel Object Model
Application: As you can see at the top of the hierarchy there is the Excel application. Each application can have several workbooks.

Workbooks: Excel files are workbooks. You can have several excel workbooks (files) open at the same time, but there will only be one Excel application open. You can test this by looking at the task manager.

Worksheet: Each workbook consists of at least one worksheet. By default workbooks have 3 worksheets (Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3).

In this method a new workbook will be added to the collection of workbooks of the current Excel application. In other words we will not be creating a new Excel application object, but only adding a new workbooks to its collection of workbooks. This is done through the code below:

Sub main()
Dim objWorkbook As Workbook
Set objWorkbook = Workbooks.Open( _
"D:StuffBusinessTempData.xlsx")
End Sub

Where “D:StuffBusinessTempData.xlsx” is the path of the second excel workbook.

Assume the following data is in sheet1 of the second workbook:

Excel Data Sheet
The code below will open the file “Data.xlsx”, read the first column of data, and close the file:

Sub Example1()
Dim objWorkbook As Workbook
Dim i As Integer
'open the workbook with data
Set objWorkbook = Workbooks.Open( _
"D:StuffBusinessTempData.xlsx")
'read the data from the first columns
For i = 1 To 9
    Cells(i, 1) = _
        objWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i + 1, 1)
Next i
'close the workbook
objWorkbook.Close
End Sub

Note how the cells in the second workbook were referenced using their complete name:

objWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i + 1, 1)

We could have also chosen to use this:

objWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Cells(i + 1, 1)

Result:

Result Excel, Automation

Note: The code below would have resulted in an error:

objWorkbook.Sheet1.Cells(i + 1, 1)

Method 2, Creating a New Excel Application:

The method explained in the previous section has its pros and cons:

Pros: It is fast.

Cons: A workbook will flash on the screen and disappear after closing.

Having a workbook flash on the screen and disappear might not be a very professional thing to see in a program. One method to overcome this is to do the following:

  1. Automate a new Excel application object.
  2. Sets its visible property to “hidden”.
  3. Open the second workbook from the new excel application object.

The problem with this method is that the program will pause a little until the new excel application is automated.

Sub Example2()
Dim appExcel As Application
Dim objWorkbook As Workbook
Dim i As Integer

'create new excel application object
Set appExcel = New Application
'set the applications visible property to false
appExcel.Visible = False
'open the workbook with data
Set objWorkbook = appExcel.Workbooks.Open( _
"D:StuffBusinessTempData.xlsx")
End Sub 

This is assuming the second file is located in the path “D:StuffBusinessTempData.xlsx”.

The complete code can be seen below:

Sub Example3()
Dim appExcel As Application
Dim objWorkbook As Workbook
Dim i As Integer

'create new excel application object
Set appExcel = New Application
'set the applications visible property to false
appExcel.Visible = False
'open the workbook with data
Set objWorkbook = appExcel.Workbooks.Open( _
"D:StuffBusinessTempData.xlsx")
For i = 1 To 9
    Cells(i, 1) = objWorkbook.Worksheets( _
        "Sheet1").Cells(i + 1, 1)
Next i
'close the workbooks
objWorkbook.Close
'close the application
appExcel.Quit
End Sub

Note: Don’t forget to close the excel application object or you will end up with resource leakage.
