Advanced Filters and Criteria Ranges

[Yellow Snow]

Hello All,

Please help assist me in:

1. Applying advanced filters and criteria ranges to speed up how fast data can be copied over from excel files? The current process takes too long.
2. Is there a way to copy over data from a second workbook in the same script?
3. How do i copy over and retain the same data format from the original ?

The below is what i have that takes too long, but does not allow for retaining data formatting.

Sub Macro()

Dim filePath As String Dim mR, cR As Range Dim mR1, cR1 As Range Dim mR2, cR2 As Range Dim mR3, cR3 As Range Dim masterBook, otherBook As Workbook

'Setup your 2 workbooks

Set masterBook = ActiveWorkbook With masterBook.Sheets("Load")

'Specify data file path location in master copy

filePath = .Range("B7").Value

End With

Set otherBook = Workbooks.Open(filePath)

'Setup your 2 ranges Set mR = masterBook.Sheets("Load").Range("C6") Set mR1 = masterBook.Sheets("Load").Range("D6") Set mR2 = masterBook.Sheets("Load").Range("C5") Set mR3 = masterBook.Sheets("Load").Range("D5")

'If you want a specific name for a worksheet 'If your sheets do not change order, input as .Sheets(1,2,3,4 etc)

Set cR = otherBook.Sheets(1).Range("A16") Set cR1 = otherBook.Sheets(1).Range("B16") Set cR2 = otherBook.Sheets(1).Range("A15") Set cR3 = otherBook.Sheets(1).Range("B15")

'Set the range in your masterbook equal to the range in your otherbook

mR.Value = cR.Value mR1.Value = cR1.Value mR2.Value = cR2.Value mR3.Value = cR3.Value

'Close your otherbook without saving anything= otherBook.Close False

End Sub
