I have tried to write code to open a workbook (have several that needs to be opened one at a time) and to copy the data from Col Q2:R to sheet1 Col A in the destination workbook. Once the second workbook is opened, it must copy the data to the first blank row after the last row containing data

I have the following code, but comes up with subscript out of range and the code "Sheets("Sheet1").Select" is highlighted

Your assistance in resolving this is most appreciated



Code:
 Sub Open_Workbook()
ChDir ("C:\my Documents")
Dim Lr As Long

Lr = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row



Dim nb As Workbook, tw As Workbook, ts As Worksheet
A = Application.GetOpenFilename
If A = False Or IsEmpty(A) Then Exit Sub
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    End With
Set tw = ThisWorkbook
Set ts = tw.ActiveSheet
Set nb = Workbooks.Open(A)

With Sheets("Imported Data")
Range("Q2:R" & Lr).Copy

Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    Range("A1").Select
Do Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell)
         ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
      Loop
    
    Selection.Paste
    
    End With
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Try this...

Code:
[color=darkblue]Sub[/color] Open_Workbook()
    
    [color=darkblue]Dim[/color] A     [color=darkblue]As[/color] [color=darkblue]Variant[/color]
    
    ChDir "C:\My Documents"
    A = Application.GetOpenFilename
    [color=darkblue]If[/color] A = [color=darkblue]False[/color] [color=darkblue]Or[/color] IsEmpty(A) [color=darkblue]Then[/color] [color=darkblue]Exit[/color] [color=darkblue]Sub[/color]
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = [color=darkblue]False[/color]
    
    [color=darkblue]With[/color] Workbooks.Open(A)
        [color=darkblue]With[/color] .Sheets("Imported Data")
            .Range("Q2", .Range("R" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy _
                Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
        [color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]With[/color]
        .Close SaveChanges:=[color=darkblue]False[/color]
    [color=darkblue]End[/color] [color=darkblue]With[/color]
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = [color=darkblue]True[/color]
    
End [color=darkblue]Sub[/color]

I have tried to amend your code to open a workbook and copy the following columns into sheet1 of the destination workbook, but M4 onwards dos not copy

Kindly amend the code below

A4 up to the last row containing data
J4 up to the last row containing data
L4 up to the last row containing data
M4 up to the last row containing data

Code:
 Sub Open_Workbook()
    
    Dim A     As Variant
    
    ChDir "C:\My Documents"
    A = Application.GetOpenFilename
    If A = False Or IsEmpty(A) Then Exit Sub
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    With Workbooks.Open(A)
        With .Sheets("Recon")
            .Range("A4", .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy _
                Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
                                .Range("J4", .Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy _
                Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
                   .Range("L4", .Range("L" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy _
                Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
                 .Range("M4", .Range("M" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Copy _
                Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1)
                End With
                .Close SaveChanges:=False
    End With
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Sub

It looks good to me. What exactly happens when you say it doesn't copy; error, wrong data copied, no data copied?

My Aplologies, for getting you to check for nothing, The Data in the source file was in Cols A, J, K & L

I have now amended this in the source file to A, J, L & M and the code works perfectly.
