I am working from two Workbooks:
FirstWorkbook; and
SecondWorkbook

FirstWorkbook has 20 sheets, named Sheet1, Sheet2,.. and LastSheet
SecondWorkbook has one sheet of data

I have created a macro in Sheet1 (of FirstWorkbook) that opens SecondWorkbook, does an advanced filter using criteria range of A1:A2 of Sheet1 and then pastes the data into LastSheet in FirstWorkbook. This is the code pasted above.

The macro will essentially be the same for all other sheets in FirstWorkbook since A1:A2 of all the sheets will be the Criteria range for the advanced filter.

Instead of creating a new macro for each sheet by replacing Sheet1 with Sheet2 etc for every sheet, is there a way to change the code so that it works for the "active sheet"?

How about

Sub danhendo888()
   Dim Ws As Worksheet
   Dim Wbk As Workbook
   
   Set Ws = ActiveSheet
   With Sheets("LastSheet")
      .UsedRange.EntireRow.Delete
      Set Wbk = Workbooks.Open("C:\mrexcel\+book1.xlsm") '("C:\Users\User\Downloads\SecondWorkbook.XLSX")
      Wbk.Sheets(1).Range("A1:EM24953").AdvancedFilter Action:= _
         xlFilterCopy, CriteriaRange:=Ws.Range("A1:A2"), CopyToRange:=.Range("A1"), Unique:=False
   End With
End Sub

Hi Fluff,

Thank you for the code, I appreciate it

My sheets (Sheet1, Sheet2..) in FirstWorkbook have formulas that reference the data from LastSheet (which is where we are pasting the data).
When we delete all rows in LastSheet before pasting the data, it produces REF errors in Sheet1, Sheet2 etc

I'll try to adjust the code to:
- delete from rows 2 and below in LastSheet
- copy and paste the data in SecondWorkbook to cell A2 and below in LastSheet

 

[danhendo888]

Also, would it help things to convert the data in SecondWorkbook to a table (say, Table2)?

FWIW the data in LastSheet of FirstWorkbook should maintain table formatting (Table1) for my formulas on Sheet1, Sheet2.. to work.

Try changing

.UsedRange.EntireRow.Delete

to

.UsedRange.ClearContents
