I have a data list

Item List 4/07/10 Blank 04/15/10 Blank YTD
Soap 3 Blank 2 5
Tp 3 Blank 3 6
PT 5 4 9

Each week a new date and amount is entered, and the sum for YTD is updated. I would like to copy only those columns that have a date entered and the YTD, to another worksheet with the same item list. The problem is when I select the range I end up with the blank columns as well. This has to be dynamic and have the new date and item numbers (column) update and be placed into the new worksheet when they are entered in the current worksheet. Note...The documents will be separate excel wkbks.

I am a novice and not sure what to do.
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
I than would have to enter a code in each of the two "source" files for each location and than into the destination file, correct?

Whereby the first source file has a submit button to the aggregate source file,
And the destination file has an update button to pull from the aggregate source file.

Which would be...

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
I just looked quickly through the previous posts as I've been struggling a bit with this following code.
It represents the code needed for importing all columns, from all listed workbooks. I haven't quite managed to test it thoroughly but it seems to work. This goes into the destination workbook.

So in essence after running all the previous posted code from all data sheets running this one should produce the same result.

Code: 
Sub datacopyAll()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Set listSht = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3")  'destination sheet
Dim WkBArray()
WkBArray = Array("BookTest.xls", "BookTest2.xls") 'list all the workboks to be used

LastCol2 = listSht.Cells.Find("*", Cells(Rows.Count, Columns.Count), SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column
LastRow = listSht.Cells.Find("*", Cells(Rows.Count, Columns.Count), SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
listSht.Range(listSht.Cells(1, 2), listSht.Cells(LastRow, LastCol2)).ClearContents

For Each wkBfileName In WkBArray 'loop through all listed workbooks
Set wkB = Workbooks.Open(wkBfileName)
For Each wkS In wkB.Worksheets 'loop through all worksheets in opened workbook.
Set DataSht = wkS
LastCol = DataSht.Cells.Find("*", Cells(Rows.Count, Columns.Count), SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column

    For Col = 2 To LastCol - 2 'loops through all columns in source sheet from column B to the last column used
    LastCol2 = listSht.Cells.Find("*", Cells(Rows.Count, Columns.Count), SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column 'finds last used column in destination
        If DataSht.Cells(1, Col).Value <> "" Then 'test for an empty column, assumes any column with empty cell in row 1 is empty
        DataSht.Columns(Col).Copy 'copies whole column
        listSht.Columns(LastCol2 + 1).PasteSpecial (xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats) 'pastes numbers and formats to the destination sheet
        End If
    Next Col
  Next wkS
  Application.CutCopyMode = False
  wkB.Close
Next wkBfileName

LastCol2 = listSht.Cells.Find("*", Cells(Rows.Count, Columns.Count), SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column
LastRow = listSht.Cells.Find("*", Cells(Rows.Count, Columns.Count), SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
 With listSht
 If LastCol2 <> 2 Then ' checks whether a sort is neded, if so sorts by date header
 .Range(.Cells(1, 2), .Cells(LastRow, LastCol2)).Sort Key1:=Range("B1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
        OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlLeftToRight, _
        DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End If
If .Cells(1, LastCol2).Value = "YTD" Then 'checks whether YTD header is present
i = 0
j = -1
Else 'if not present creates it
.Cells(1, LastCol2 + 1).Value = "YTD"
i = 1
j = 0
End If
'updates YTD formulas
.Range(.Cells(2, LastCol2 + i), .Cells(LastRow, LastCol2 + i)).FormulaR1C1 = "=SUM(R" & Row & "C2:R" & Row & "C" & LastCol2 + j & ")"
End With
ThisWorkbook.Save 'saves source workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'turns screen updating back on
ThisWorkbook.Close False 'closes source workbook
End Sub

I would avoid additional workbooks and worksheets.
As I said I think Excel will check the read/write capacity of the opened workbook.
The code could test the read write status and abort the copy if the destination is unwritable and ask the user to wait before trying again.

...this code will be placed in the source workbook, in a code module.
It opens the destination workbook, copies over the last column, sorts and updates the destination YTD and closes and saves both workbooks.

Then when you create the button on each sheet use the following code for the button click.

It would be better to just keep pushing YTD "outwards" by inserting a new column for the user to enter data in.

'WOULD THIS HAVE TO BE DONE BY THE PERSON OR AFTER THE DATA IS SAVED THE WORKSHEET PUSHES THE YTD TWO COLUMNS FROM THE LAST DATA ENTERED?'

The code will also require there be headers for column A in the destination workbook. The .Find method will not work if the destination workbook is completely empty.

This will take all the sheets in a workbook and copy the last column from each and paste it to the destination workbook, sort everything by date. And then save and close both workbooks. Also placed in a module in the source worksheet.
