    Create a macro which open and run a macro in another workbook

    Hello.

    Considering that I do not have power automate desktop ( only cloud) I have to automate something via VBA.

    Actions:

    1) I have a workbook ( A ) with a sheet named "parameters' and in this sheet there is a list with parameters ( Fix , Floating , None ) . I have to select one of these values.

    Build a macro in this workbook ( A) which does :


    2) Open another workbook ( B),
    3) Transfer in (B) in a precise cell the parameter selected in the workbook A
    4) Run a macro already build in the workbook (B) which is going to use as the main parameter the one that we just transferred in (B) via action 3 .

    4) At the end I'd like to transfer ( copy / paste) the output of the macro in the workbook (B) in another workbook ( C) .
    5) Close workbook (B)

    Is it possible ?

    If I recall correctly the format is

    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    With a parameter is

    Application.Run "'WB-B.xlsm'!macro_name","param1"

    see examples
