VBA copy into another sheet with similar name

[quej2003]

Hi

So I have some data in column B in one sheet that is labelled "Jan 2011.txt" and I am looking to copy it into column A of a sheet named "Jan 2011 Data". I have this for quite a few sheets/months, was wondering how in VBA it is written that we take the 'Jan 2011' and then add the 'Data', so that can be used in a bigger macro that goes through a few of these sorts of sheets? Basically the naming!

Cheers

quej2003,

What version of Excel are you using?

You will generally get much more help (and faster) in this forum if you can post your small samples directly in the forum.

Please attach screenshots of your workbook or a sample workbook that accurately portrays your current workbook on one sheet, and what it should look like 'After' on another sheet.

This makes it much easier to see exactly what you want to do, as well as shows us whether there is a consistent number of rows between tables and such.

Here are three possible ways to post small (copyable) screen shots directly in your post:

Please post a screenshot of your sheet(s), what you have and what you expect to achieve, with Excel Jeanie HTML 4 (contains graphic instructions).

Ok have had a go with the Excel Jeanie HTML 4, on a side note am using excel 2007 at the moment. So here goes:

Excel Workbook
	A	B
1	*	Data
2	*	1
3	*	2
4	*	4
5	*	8
6	*	16
7	*	32
8	*	64
9	*	128
Jan 2011.txt

which is then copied into:

Excel Workbook
	A	B
1	Date here	*
2	1	*
3	2	*
4	4	*
5	8	*
6	16	*
7	32	*
8	64	*
9	128	*
Jan 2011 Data

Not too sure why I have some stars in the first, but close enough for a first go! Also minor bump

Please TEST this FIRST in a COPY of your workbook (always make a backup copy before trying new code, you never know what you might lose).


1. Copy the below code, by highlighting the code and pressing the keys CTRL + C
2. Open your workbook
3. Press the keys ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Press the keys ALT + I to activate the Insert menu
5. Press M to insert a Standard Module
6. Where the cursor is flashing, paste the code by pressing the keys CTRL + V
7. Press the keys ALT + Q to exit the Editor, and return to Excel
8. To run the macro from Excel, open the workbook, and press ALT + F8 to display the Run Macro Dialog. Double Click the macro's name to Run it.

Make sure you save your workbook, Save As, a macro enabled workbook with file extension .xlsm


Then run the CopyData macro.
