All,

When I run the code below, it opens yesterday's DOR (DO Report 10-18-23). It works perfectly. What I'm looking to do is when that code is run and yesterdays' DOR opens I want it to copy N5 thru O41 and then I need to paste that into the workbook I'm working on which is different every day, it will already be open it's name will be "10-18-23". When I do this tomorrow the workbook I will be working from will be "10-19-23"......and so on. I need it to be pasted on the "Sheet1" tab D11 thru E47

All the codes are run from from the sheet with with yesterday's date "10-18-23". This is because I use a template that is read only and they have to do a "save as" and that how the sheet gets it's name...(10-18-23) and so on.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank You.

VBA Code:
Sub OpenDOR()
  
    Dim wbMyWorkbook    As Workbook
    Dim strWBName       As String, strWBPathStub  As String
    Dim strWBPath       As String, FullName As String
    Dim i               As Long
  
    strWBName = "DO Report " & Format(DateAdd("d", -1, Date), "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsm"        'yesterday's DO report
    strWBPathStub = "https://ustsa.sharepoint.com/sites/Airport-R1-MHT/soc/SOC Scheduling/Shared Documents/DOR"
  
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    On Error Resume Next
    For i = 1 To 3
        strWBPath = Choose(i, strWBPathStub, _
                              strWBPathStub & "/" & Format(DateAdd("d", -1, Date), "yyyy.mm"), _
                              strWBPathStub & "/Archived/")
        FullName = strWBPath & "\" & strWBName
        Set wbMyWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(FullName, 0, False)
        If Not wbMyWorkbook Is Nothing Then GoTo exitsub
    Next i
  
    MsgBox "Failed To Locate " & strWBName, 48, "Not Found"
  
exitsub:
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    On Error GoTo 0
    
End Sub

I think that that the part that says. Workbooks(Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") might be wrong because it is yesterday's date that it should be looking for. It seems to open the correct DOR but the paste into "10-18-23" doesn't work. Remember, tomorrow the file that I would be working from will be "10-19-23"

VBA Code:
   Else
        ' Workbook found, now copy N5:O41
        wbMyWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("N5:O41").Copy
        ' Activate the destination workbook (today's date)
       [COLOR=rgb(97, 189, 109)] Workbooks(Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsm").Activate[/COLOR]
        ' Paste into D11:E47
        ActiveSheet.Range("D11").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        ' Close the DO report workbook without saving
        wbMyWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
    End If

I'm guessing that my post probably wasn't clear enough. So let me try this. I work with 2 workbooks everyday. Everything is based on yesterdays date.

The first workbook I open is yesterdays workbook.... for example today is the 19th so I open a workbook called "10-18-23". In this workbook are tabs... "Summary, Data, 1-2, ......Sheet1"
The second workbook I need is opened by way the macro and it is called "DO Report 10-18-23"

When the DOR macro is run, it opens yesterday's DOR and the code is fine. In the "DO Report 10-18-23" I need the macro to continue and copy N5:041 and then paste that info into the workbook that I already have open (10-18-23) and paste that info into "Sheet1" D11:E47.

Not sure if that is any clearer, but I thank you for any help!

I've got this and even though I don't get any errors it doesn't work.

VBA Code:
    ' Check if the DO report workbook was found
    If wbMyWorkbook Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Failed To Locate " & strWBName, 48, "Not Found"
    Else
        ' Workbook found, now copy N5:O41
        wbMyWorkbook.Sheets("MR").Range("N5:O41").Copy
        ' Activate the destination workbook (today's date)
        Workbooks(Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy" - 1) & ".xlsm").Activate
        ' Paste into D11:E47
        ActiveSheet.Range("D11").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        ' Close the DO report workbook without saving
        wbMyWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
    End If
    
    ' Enable display alerts again
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

If you want this line to reflect yesterday's date:
VBA Code:
Workbooks(Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy" - 1) & ".xlsm").Activate
in should be written like this instead:
VBA Code:
Workbooks(Format(Date - 1, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsm").Activate
(you need to subtract one from the date, not from the format!)

Ok I got this to work, except I have to be on the Sheet1 tab for it to work. When I open my workbook (10-18-23) I have mutiple tabs on that sheet. I want to run my code from the "Summary" tab. But it won't work unless I am on the "Sheet1" tab. As you can see from the code below in order for me to make it work I have to run the first vba and then call the second vba. How can I incorporate both into one so I can run it from the "Summary" tab?

Code:
Sub OpenSheet1()

       Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
     
       Call MagicButton

End Sub

Code:
Sub MagicButton()
    Dim wbMyWorkbook As Workbook
    Dim strWBName As String, strWBPathStub As String
    Dim strWBPath As String, FullName As String
    Dim i As Long
    
    ' Construct the name of the DO report workbook (yesterday's date)
    strWBName = "DO Report " & Format(DateAdd("d", -1, Date), "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsm"
    strWBPathStub = "https://ustsa.sharepoint.com/sites/Airport-R1-MHT/soc/SOC Scheduling/Shared Documents/DOR"
    
    ' Disable display alerts to suppress messages
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    On Error Resume Next
    
    ' Loop through the possible locations
    For i = 1 To 3
        strWBPath = Choose(i, strWBPathStub, _
                          strWBPathStub & "/" & Format(DateAdd("d", -1, Date), "yyyy.mm"), _
                          strWBPathStub & "/Archived/")
        FullName = strWBPath & "\" & strWBName
        
        ' Attempt to open the DO report workbook
        Set wbMyWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(FullName, 0, False)
        If Not wbMyWorkbook Is Nothing Then
            Exit For ' Workbook found, exit the loop
        End If
    Next i
    
    ' Check if the DO report workbook was found
    If wbMyWorkbook Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "Failed To Locate " & strWBName, 48, "Not Found"
    Else
        ' Workbook found, now copy N5:O41
        wbMyWorkbook.Sheets("MR").Range("N5:O41").Copy
        ' Activate the destination workbook (today's date)
        Workbooks(Format(Date - 1, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xlsm").Activate
        ' Paste into D11:E47
        wbMyWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range
        ActiveSheet.Range("D11").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        ' Close the DO report workbook without saving
        wbMyWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
    End If
    
    ' Enable display alerts again
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
