Hi,

I am very new at VBA. However, I'm working on this tool, where I need to develop the following in sequence:
1. User has to browse for a particular workbook
2. User then selects the sheet required for copying
3. User then selects a rage of columns required to be copied
4. This tool copies column D, along with the range, and pastes it in Sheet 2 in the Active Worbook

The code is as follows, but it doesn't compile successfully.

Code:
Sub ImportData()
    Dim wkbCrntWorkBook As Workbook
    Dim wkbSourceBook As Workbook
     
    Dim rngSourceRange, rngSourceRange2 As Range
    Dim rngDestination, rngDestination2 As Range
   
    
    Set wkbCrntWorkBook = ActiveWorkbook
     
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
        .Filters.Clear
        .Filters.Add "Excel 2002-03", "*.xls", 1
        .Filters.Add "Excel 2007", "*.xlsx; *.xlsm; *.xlsa", 2
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .Show
         
        If .SelectedItems.Count > 0 Then
            Workbooks.Open .SelectedItems(1)
            Set wkbSourceBook = ActiveWorkbook
            [COLOR=#ff0000]'code to select sheet from the workbook[/COLOR]
            Set rngSourceRange = Application.InputBox(prompt:="Select source range", Title:="Source Range", Default:="A1", Type:=8)
            Set rngSourceRange2 = wkbSourceBook.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 4) ' required to select column D completely
            wkbCrntWorkBook.Activate
            Set rngDestination = ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 2)               [COLOR=#ff0000] ' paste destination must be column B onwards, i.e, whatever the user selects as range[/COLOR]
            Set rngDestination2 = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1)              [COLOR=#ff0000] ' paste destination must be column A, i.e, from D of other sheet to A of this sheet[/COLOR]
            rngSourceRange.copy rngDestination
            rngSourceRange2.copy rngDestination2
            
            
            rngDestination.CurrentRegion.EntireColumn.AutoFit
            wkbSourceBook.Close False
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Private Sub Import_Click()
    ImportData
End Sub

Any help will be appreciated!

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
