Hi all,

I have searched the forums for an answer to this, but everyone wants to see to copy data from a closed workbook to an open one, not the other way around! I don't know if the last 2 links on http://www.erlandsendata.no/english/index.php?t=envbadac will help with what I need, so I better get straight to the point an explain it.

I have an Invoice Maker on Excel 2010 which I created myself. It works well, however when I save the invoice, the next time I create a new invoice, it overwrites the existing information - which is fine.

The problem that I have is that every quarter, I have to do VAT Tax Returns, which means that I have to enter particular information about each invoice into another Excel worksheet - manually.

I would very much appreciate if I could copy the information from my Invoice Maker to another sheet using a macro with some VBA code. Ideally, it would copy data from lots of particular cells and paste it in this other workbook in a neat table, something like this:

Excel Workbook
BCDEFGHI
4FolioDateNameDescriptionAmountVATStdZero
563016 August 2010John DoeSales100.0015.0485.92
Table in Closed Workbook where data should be copied to


These are the cells which the data should be extracted from:

  • Original Sheet Cell B7 - contains the value "16082010-8332010". From here, only the 833 is wanted for "Folio" , not the rest of the value - is this possible?
  • Original Sheet Cell B6 - the date (a simple one)
  • Original Sheet Cell B11 - the name
  • Original Sheet Cell E49 - the amount
  • Original Sheet Cell E48 - the VAT
  • Original Sheet Cell E47 - the STD

In the table above, for row E ("Description"), this should always be put as Sales.

Ideally, this should be automatically done with the click of the button, opening the workbook to be copied to, adding the information to a new row, saving the workbook and then closing it. If you can make it so that you never see that happening, that would be awesome, but if not, then I don't mind.

I hope that this is possible with VBA and it isn't too complicated, I'm a bit of a newbie so I'm stuck. I hope that you guys can help, and, as ever, I'll be eternally grateful if you can! :)

Regards,

Ryan

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Just a note,

In the workbook, the name of the sheets doesn't matter, its only the data that needs to be copied! :)

Thanks,

Ryan

I was looking around on the internet, and found an invoice creator that has the following code incorporated into it, which saves these details onto a sheet called "Orders" in the same workbook - could this code be adapted for my requirements?

Code:
Sub Save_Invoice()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim invno As String
Dim einvno As Variant
Dim blexist As Boolean
Dim invdate As String
Dim invcust As String
Dim invship As Integer
Dim invtotal As Single
Dim invpaid As Single
Dim invtermsnote As String
Dim tm As Variant
Dim tmcnt As Integer
Dim item As Variant
Dim itemno As Single
Dim itemnos As String
Dim olditemnos As String
Dim arritems As Variant
Dim unitprices As String
Dim quantity As Single
Dim quantities As String
Dim oldquantities As String
Dim arrquant As Variant
Dim discounts As String
Dim taxes As String
Dim ordno As Single
Dim eprodid As Variant
Dim ordercols As Integer
Dim i As Integer

    Msg = Msg & "This program cannot be executed until a valid registration key is entered on opening this workbook."

End If

End Sub

This code seems to be very complicated for this function - but I hope it can help you to help me solve my problem! :)
