Hi guys,

I badly need a help.
Can somebody help me create a code to count the quantity of different data from one workbook (WB1) and bring that quantity to another workbook (WB2) with multiple sheets.

WB1 with one worksheet (WS1)
In Column A, it contains locations "L1", "L2", "L3", "L4" and so on....
In Column B, it contains information such as "pump", "valve", "tx" and so on...
In Column C, it contains information such as N1, N2 and N3.

WB2:
Planning to create a template where the following data will get populated and create a code to automatically create multiple sheets with locations "L1", "L2"... as its worksheet names.

WS1 "L1":
Pump - how many?
Valve - how many?
Tx - ho many?
Nx - how many? (In L1, there can be N1, N2 and N3 so I need to get qty "3". In L2, if N1, N2 are present, I need to get qty "2".


Same data need to be populated to WS2 "L2", WS3 "L3"

Any workaround on this?

Help, pleaseeeee.
Thank you very much in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
It would be helpful if you create sample for WB1 and expected WB2.

Hi Zot,

I have attached sample simplified version of WB1 and expected WB2 after running the code.
Thank you very much for your time and help!

Much easier for helper to be able to copy and paste data than rewriting it. I have converted to sheet. This should be easy for those familiar with this kind of data. I'm still figuring out the best way ?

Looks like no one replying. I was on leave due to public holiday yesterday ?. Try if this works
VBA Code:

Woooww it works.. Thank you so much Zot, you are my hero. I really appreciate your help!! I am so happy that I want to cry :cry:?. I think I need some more help, sorry for that ? There are other data in wb2 apart from the count that I want to take from wb1. Like it will be same template for all sheets in wb2 so the Node, Pump, Valve and Tx will be in same order in every sheet and if lets say pump is not existing in one location, then the cell will be blank or no qty shown. How to modify the code to incorporate the template? Sorry ? and thank you so much!!!!

I just noticed that I've had line below twice. You can remove one.
Set dictMat = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

By the way, not really sure I understood. I think my code did not put the Material in order. It will be first come first serve, right? If you want to follow template, then need to modify a bit.

You mentioned wb2. You want to run the code in wb2 or copy everything to wb1, running from wb1?. How your template looks like? I have no idea how many Material items you'd have.

Hi Zot, thanks for replying.

I will run the code in wb1 and wb2 will be the automatic output after running the code in wb1. What you have done is already correct :):)
Just need to follow template for wb2 to be the same for all. I have attached the sample template.
I have highlighted in yellow where the the data from wb1 will be located in wb2 template but there are a lot of materials and I just thought to give you some of it and I will just modify the code to add in others.
Sorry also if my explanation is not too clear :(
Thank you very much!!! :):):)
