    Post Copy one workbook to Another WorkBook

    I have two open workbooks. I need to select data from one workbook (active worksheet) once i selected, that need to be pasted in another workbook opened, the parent workbook is having multiple sheet so its should be pasted on active worksheet. Before pasting on the parent workbook the active worksheet all rows to be deleted. Doing this manually taking more time. if some one help me for VBA code . it will be helpful.

    Re: Copy one workbook to Another WorkBook

    Sorry, I'm not helping here.
    I just want to understand your situation.

    You have two workbooks.
    1. Workbook-A ---> this is what you call "parent" workbook
    2. Workbook-B

    Workbook-A has many sheets, anyway, the current condition is Sheet1 ---> this is what you call the active sheet of the parent workbook.

    Now in Workbook-B you select a range of data.
    The automation you want is the code to copy your selected range in workbook-B (whatever active sheet name)
    then paste it to your last blank row of data in the active sheet (Sheet1 in this example) of the parent workbook (workbook-A)
    after that it delete the rows of your selected range in workbook-B.

    Is that what you mean ?

    or this one :
    Now in Workbook-B you select a range of data.
    The automation you want is the code to delete all the cells in the active sheet (Sheet1 in this example) of the parent workbook (workbook-A)
    then copy your selected range in workbook-B (whatever active sheet name)
    then paste it to the first row of the active sheet (Sheet1 in this example) of the parent workbook (workbook-A)

    Re: Copy one workbook to Another WorkBook

    You cannot have two active sheets in two different workbooks.
    The only activesheet is the visible sheet in front of you on the desktop.
    So you either have to give the name of the sheet you want to copy from or make the 2nd workbook active and whatever sheet shows up on the desktop is the active sheet of that workbook.
    That would be something like

    Maybe something like this :

    1. This code has to be in the wbA (Parent.xlsm).
    2. Before running the code, you have to be sure that the active sheet in wbB is the one that you want to copy
    3. then back to wbA to run the code

    Re: Copy one workbook to Another WorkBook

    Hi
    Workbook B name is not specific, like WB-B

    every time it will change. Can you modify the code to use any open workbook.

    It MUST only two workbooks open.
    If it's only one workbook open, the code will fail.
    If it's more then one workbook open, the code will fail.
    If the active sheet in wbB is not the sheet which is going to be copied to wbA,
    you will get a result which is not expected.

    Not tested.

    Re: Copy one workbook to Another WorkBook

    You can have as many workbooks open as you want.
    It's your choice

    See attached
    First select a workbook from the list and than select a sheet from the other list.
    Site security would not let me post some additional info.
    It is in the attached notepad file

    Hi jolivanes

    Excellent your code is working fine. one small change is required. Currently its pasting the data on "A1" . but i required as its in source workbook. like if its in B9 then it should paste in B9 of target workbook.
