    Copy and Paste Cell Values between Workbooks on Separate File paths

    Hello Your 'Excel'lencies!

    Please help with this. I have a macro that can copy and paste values from one sheet to another on the same workbook with a control button as shown below:

    However, I need assistance with a Macro that can replicate values on a range of cells on a worksheet for an open active workbook located on a directory based on corresponding entries or changes on an array of cells from another workbook located on another directory at the click of an embedded control button

    For instance, in the attached file,I would want any updates or changes done on Cell "A4","B4", "C4",.. to "AO4" of 'Billing' sheet to be replicated on corresponding cells "H13", "I13", "J13",.. to "AV13" repectively of the 'Main' sheet at the click of Active X control button in a case whereby the 'Billing' sheet is on a separate workbook (from the workbook with Main sheet) on a different directory

    Same for 'App' Sheet: to replcate update or changes on Cells "A4","B4", "C4",.. to "AO4" to apply changes on corresponding cells "H6","I6", "J6",.. to "AV6" accordingly

    Note:
    Main sheet is located at
    HTML Code: 
    Billing sheet located at
    HTML Code: 
    and App sheet located at
    HTML Code: 
    I would really appreciate.
    Thank you in advance!

    Re: Copy and Paste Cell Values between Workbooks on Separate File paths

    this procedure assumes that workbook "Dashboard" will host the code and therefore will be open when the button is used. You are showing Workbooks("Dashboard") currently as a .xlsx file extension. That workbook needs to be saved as a macroenabled (.xlsm) workbook to preserve macros when it is closed. If there are formulas in the range on sheet 'Main' you woul need to use PasteSpecial method instead of the direct copy/paste method. Paste this code into the standard public code module and select your button from the Form Controls tool box under Developer/Insert. A dialog box will appear when you install the button so that you can attach the macro
    to the button. Again, be sure you save workbook Dashboard as a macro enabled workbook.

    Thank you JLGWhiz, however, there are formula in the "App sheet" and I tried the PasteSpecial as shown below but getting error "Unable to get the PasteSpecial property of the range class".

    Please what could be wrong?

    If you used paste special the destination has to be on a separate line
