VBA for data importing between workbooks.

Hi,

I have been tasked with creating a pallet tracking system for work, and i have encountered a problem which i'm unable to resolve with google.

Each night at work we complete a Report which details pallet movements throughout the night; this sheet is attached and called "UK Print Sites Master (with After Cut-Offs) TEST FOR PALLETS)". In this workbook there is a tab called "Pallet Control" which collates the pallet movements from previous tabs into a simple table. These figures are represented by '0's in the table.

During the day, a pallet tracking sheet is completed using the details from the report completed during the night; this sheet is attached and called "Pallet Tracking Sheet". The day staff normally print off the night report and manually enter the pallet movements, which i intend to streamline and create an data import function.

So what i am having trouble with is the following:
I would like to create an import function within the "Pallet Tracking Sheet" which will import the data from the "UK Print Sites Master". I would like the '0' figures from the "UK Print Sites Master" to be imported in the corresponding cells in the "Pallet Tracking Sheet".

Other information you may require is that the name of the "UK Print Sites Master" file changes everyday. So i'm not sure whether it would be a .csv import of not.

I am happy to answer any questions and thank you in advance for you help.

Hi banaanas,

Thank you for your response.

I have had a play with your code and the file selection works perfectly.

I am now trying to copy specific cells from the sourceWs and paste them into the corresponding cells in the targetWs. I have tried the following code, however the .Copy function seems to bug and the .PasteSpecial function doesn't allow me to select values. This is this the code i have been trying:

sourceWs Range("E16:F34").Copy
targetWs Range("E16:F34").PasteSpecial

This copy and paste function will need to be applied to different ranges also.

Thank you so much for you assistance with this.

Please use code tags when having code in your post.

Hi Jolivanes,

I inserted the code you provided into the code supplied by banaanas and for some reason it's returning the following error message when i test it:
"Compile error: Variable not defined"
Is there something i'm missing?

Hi Banaanas,

I have been asked to add another feature to the sheet you helped me with previously, and i was wondering if you are able to assist me again. The code is below:

I would like to adjust the code you produced for me to copy a range of cells from the last worksheet in a source workbook, and paste then into a specific range on a target workbook. I have tried to have a play about myself however i can't wrap my head around it.

To help clarify, the source workbook will have worksheets named after dates of the month (ie; 1, 2, 3). I want to extract data from the last worksheet (range G16:G35) and past them into a target worksheet in cell range D16:D35.

Furthermore, when i run the original code you produced for me, i receive the following message concerning the source sheet:

Attachment 661120

Is there a way to stop this from happening using VBA?

Thank you in advance for you assistance.
