Hi all,

I want to copy a sheet from a workbook I have saved to the one I am currently working on. I need this code to be able to do this in any workbook I am working on.

The code so far is as such:
VBA Code:
Dim sourceBook As Workbook
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set sourceBook = Workbooks.Open("filepath")
    sourceBook.Sheets("Summary").Copy Before:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1)
    sourceBook.Close
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True

I have my file's path where it says so above, and I want to copy the worksheet called 'Summary' and paste it before the sheet in the active workbook.

I keep getting a run-time error 1004 - Copy method of Worksheet class failed

Thank you for the help

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
How about
VBA Code:
    sourceBook.Sheets("Summary").Copy Before:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1)

   sourceBook.Close
   Application.ScreenUpdating = True
