Hello!

I have two larger tables, referring to the activity scheduling from a firm. The first table presents a part of one, with employee scheduling from 18/03/2022 for the bakery department, distributed in the shifts 1-3. The second one has same data, including additionally some white columns where is recorded the working time of each employee. My question is how could I copy the content from the first table (coloured in with red, yellow and blue) and paste it automatically as is shown in the second table, alternating columns and ignoring the white ones for timekeeping? Thank you!

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Test the below code if its satisfy your need also included test workbook based on the above given sample vladimiratanasiu Workbook
VBA Code:
Sub vladimiratanasiu()
    
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Dim SourceSHT As Worksheet, TargetSHT As Worksheet
    Dim cTr As Integer, i As Integer

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    LastRow = Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    
    Set SourceSHT = Sheets("PAGE01")
    Set TargetSHT = Sheets("PAGE02")

    i = 7
    Do While i <= LastRow
        cTr = 7
        If IsEmpty(Cells(i, 3)) Then
        Else
            Do While cTr <= LastRow
                If SourceSHT.Range("C" & i) = TargetSHT.Range("B" & cTr) Then
                    TargetSHT.Range("BQ" & cTr).Value = SourceSHT.Range("D" & i).Value
                    TargetSHT.Range("BS" & cTr).Value = SourceSHT.Range("E" & i).Value
                    TargetSHT.Range("BU" & cTr).Value = SourceSHT.Range("F" & i).Value
                End If
                cTr = cTr + 1

Thank you very much for your answer!

I tested your macro and it runs very well in a single workbook. However, my tables are placed in two different larger workbooks (see Programare noua.xlsx and Pontaj linii productie.xlsx). The book Programere noua contains sheet Programere personal, which is source of data for the book Pontaj linii productie. The table from source sheet is structured on production departments (e.g. Rademaker, Fritsch, Salam de biscuiti, etc.), team ID codes (e.g. RA01-RA22, FR01-FR18, PR01-PR05 etc.), days (30/01/2022 - 31/01/2023) and shifts (1,2 and 3), all of them within a single sheet. In the destination book Pontaj linii productie, information from the source book are divided in individual sheets. Each sheet corresponds to a field from the source table, allocated for a production department (e.g. sheet Rademaker - field C7-ALZ28 from the source workbook ; sheet Fritsch- field C32-ALZ49 etc). Distinctly, in the book Pontaj linii productie all tables of departments' sheets have an additional column added to each shift, to be recorded the worked hours of every employee from that shift. Both the source and the destination table (s) are filled daily with new information, though keeping the same structure. Taking into consideration these additional data and also the attached workbooks, could you adjust the previous macro to run for the linked tables? I mention again that the activity data are updated daily during one year, so that I need the formula(s) / command(s) cover 365 days. If it can't be developed a single macro common for updating automatically all files of workbook Pontaj linii productie, maybe you could edit one whose internal references could can be adjusted for each file individually, resulting as many macros as sheets are. Thank you!

I hope this helps, kindly recode to your liking....
since your Destination workbook has too many link/formula that needs to process first. what I did is to address your concern on the root level ie. copying from one workbook to another when conditions are met (1. same ID code and 2. Cell not empty) based on that condition check sample Files and code if satisfy your need (Download Zip File) 2 Files, one Macro Enabled Workbook and the second is the mystical Destination workbook using the code below.... (again tested and working on my sample file)

for other sheet and columns you may want to experiment a little so as the code may evolve to your liking... hope this jumpstart your coding experience

    TargetFileName = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\TARGET.xlsx"
    Set wbTarget = Workbooks.Open(TargetFileName)

Thank you for the above response!

I adjusted and tested your solution in a pair of simplified tables (see Pontaj linii productie-1.xlsx and Programare noua-1.xlsm), in order to eliminate the complicated formulas. It matches partially my problem, covering by results one day range only. In my sheets, it views date 31.03.2022 whereas the rest of them require new modifications of the macro. Giving the very long period concerned (one year), I should change daily the cells from the macro for each department. In these conditions, I wonder whether is any method for the macro to refer and process information, based on the horizontal continuous range of date and shift references (e.g. 21.02.2022-28.03.2022 - ranges EX1:FU1, EX3:FU3 - Source file Programare noua 1; ranges CI1:ED1, CI3:ED3 - Destination file Pontaj linii productie 1 ). They are some cross-cutting items that cover all year round and could bypass the daily necessary interventions. Or, similary, it could be considered references regarding employee (ID code) along the same period. Thank you !

Hello!

I found the thread Copy Column data And Paste Into Every Other Column on a New Sheet, addressing quite similar my issue too. Could you analyze the last macro proposed as solution, and see whether / how can it be adjusted for my tables Programare noua-1.xlsm and Pontaj linii productie-1.xlsx in order to solve the problem? Thank you!
