Help with Macro

[Crownman]

I have a set of about 50 source files, each with 5 named ranges (one
name range on each of 5 tabs). I am trying to create a macro to copy
the named ranges for each of the source files to the corresponding tab
of a destination file so that the destination file contains a column
for each source file on each tab. Thus far, I have the following
code:

Dim wbOther As Workbook
Dim PathsList As Range
Dim i As Range
Dim ThePath As String
Dim TheFile As String

Sub CopyBuysheets()
With Sheets("FOLDERS")
Set PathsList = .Range("A2", .Range("A" &
Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
End With
Set wbThis = ThisWorkbook
For Each i In PathsList
ThePath = i.Value
ChDir ThePath
TheFile = Dir("*.xls")
Do While TheFile <> ""
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set wbOther = Workbooks.Open(ThePath & "\" &
TheFile)
Sheets("ABSOLUT").Select
Application.EnableEvents = True
With wbThis.Sheets("ABSOLUT")
Range("ABSOLUT_TOTAL").Copy
.Range("ABSOLUT_START").End(xlRight).Offset(-1,
1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Range("CRUZAN_TOTAL").Copy
.Range("CRUZAN_START").End(xlRight).Offset(-1,
1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Range("LEVEL_TOTAL").Copy
.Range("LEVEL_START").End(xlRight).Offset(-1,
1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Range("PLYMOUTH_TOTAL").Copy
.Range("PLYMOUTH_START").End(xlRight).Offset(-1,
1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
Range("FRIS_TOTAL").Copy
.Range("FRIS_START").End(xlRight).Offset(-1,
1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
End With
wbOther.Close SaveChanges:=False
TheFile = Dir
Loop
Next i
End Sub

The macro fails at the following line with the error message
"Application defined or object defined error."

..Range("ABSOLUT_START").End(xlRight).Offset(-1, 1).PasteSpecial
Paste:=xlPasteValues

Any advice would be appreciated. TIA

Is the code in a standard module?
(It should be.)

Where does .End(xlRight) take you?
(Offset(-1, 1) would be a problem in a first row or last column)

Are you using XL 2007?
(I'm sorry) <g>

I am using Excel 2003 and the code is in a standard module.
End(xlRight) does take me to the top row and last column of a table as
I need to paste the columns from the source worksheets beginning in
the column next to the table in the destination worksheet.

Is there some other way other than Offset to accomplish this?

Thanks for your help

I am using Excel 2003 and the code is in a standard module. End
(xlRight) does take me to the top row and last column of the
worksheet. I am trying to paste the contents of the source files into
a group of coumns beginning one row above and in the next column of
the current worksheet. If Offset is a problem, is there some other
way to accomplish this?

Thanks for your help.

 

[Jim Cone]

The point I was trying to make is that you can't tell Excel to
paste to a location that is off the worksheet.
The row above the first worksheet row does not exist.
Same for the column to the right of the last column.

Still not quite sure where you are trying to paste the copied cells.
It sounds like one cell up and one cell over from the top right corner
of the named range. So, assuming the named range does not contain
the first row or last column of the worksheet...

Dim lngCols As Long
lngCols = wbOther.Sheets("ABSOLUT") _
..Range("ABSOLUT_START").Columns.Count

wbThis.Sheets("ABSOLUT").Range("ABSOLUT_TOTAL").Copy
wbOther.Sheets("ABSOLUT").Range("ABSOLUT_START") _
..Cells(0, lngCols + 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

I guess I am not understanding your suggestions. By changing the
instruction End(xlRight) to End(xlToRight) and using the offsets I was
able to get the data from the first named range on the first tab of
the first source file copied in the proper place on the first tab of
the destination file, but now the macro fails at the same line for the
second named range on the destination file.

I appreciate your help and advice, but I guess I'll just have to
muddle through this on my own.

Thanks once more.

Dave:

This is getting close. Although I won't pretend to understand exactly
what your code does, it appears to be properly copying the correct
data from each of the source files to the proper page of the
destination file.

I think that the only thing that is needed now is to get the data
copied to the right location on the destination file. The starting
destination location is Row 10 & Column K for each worksheet contained
in the destination workbook.

If you can guide me on how to accomplish this, I think that will get
it done.

Thank you for your help.

I like including the workbook name in the output. Then I'll know where the data
came from and I know that I can use that row to find the next open cell/column.

Try:

With TestWks
Set DestCell = .Cells(10, .Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft)
if destcell.column < 11 then
set destcell = .cells(10,"K")
end if
If IsEmpty(DestCell.Value) Then
'stay put
Else
'move to the column to the right
Set DestCell = DestCell.Offset(0, 1)
End If

Dave:

That appears to be working PERFECTLY. The only thing I had to do was
set DestCell one row higher to account for your addition of the path
of the source file which is an excellent addition.

Thanks so much for your help. I never cease to be amazed and how you
guys can write code like this without even seeing the files that the
code works on.

Tom Collins

 

[Dave Peterson]

Glad you got it working.

Sometimes adding that little bit of info is helpful in multiple ways--either
making sure you can find the next location to paste and knowing what info came
from what file.
