    Copy Two Specific Columns from One Spreadsheet to Another in the Same Workbook

    Hi. I am new to the forums and looking to learn how to use VBA. I'm pretty sure the answer to this is somewhere but I'm lost as to where to start looking.

    I'm looking to write a macro code that copies two specific columns to a separate spreadsheet in the same workbook, and then sort the rows by values in ascending order.

    Any ideas on potential references I could start looking from? Kinda lost and could use the help.

    Thanks.

    I know this may sound extremely simple, but I'm having a hard time looking for the paper clip icon that allows me to attach my spreadsheet.

    Re: Copy Two Specific Columns from One Spreadsheet to Another in the Same Workbook

    Okay I'm trying to build an automated spreadsheet to get statistics I need for a competitive multiplayer videogame. I'm trying to copy columns O and Q from "Pokemon Statistics" into ranges B2 and C2 in "Usage Statistics". Once its copied, I want the columns autosorted in descending order and to keep sorting itself everytime I edit variables in "Pokemon Statistics", which affects the Usage Statistics column.

    My knowledge on Excel is limited, I got the copy part down but its copying the formulas and not the values. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to incorporate the PasteSpecial part into it. Once I sort that out, I'll get to the sorting part.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Depends on when You want to copy and sort, You can do that manualy by pressing button(which You create somewhere on the source sheet), or You assign that code to some of worksheet events (Change, SelectionChange, Activate...)
