Hi, I have a workbook where there are data of similar types in 3 sheets all with the same header. Now I want to copy the range of data(where the column Status is blank) from all of those sheets to a macro enabled workbook.
The database worksheet looks like this:

data


The code I've done:
VBA Code: 
Sub Button1_Click()

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim source_wb As Workbook
Dim source_sh1 As Worksheet
Dim source_sh2 As Worksheet
Dim source_sh3 As Worksheet
Dim dest_sh As Worksheet

Set source_wb = Application.Workbooks.Open("D:\New folder\storedata.xlsx", True, True)
Set source_sh1 = source_wb.Sheets("Sheet1")
Set source_sh2 = source_wb.Sheets("Sheet2")
Set source_sh3 = source_wb.Sheets("Sheet3")
Set dest_sh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("data")
dest_sh.AutoFilterMode = False
dest_sh.Range("A2:E1000").ClearContents

source_sh1.UsedRange.AutoFilter 6, ""
source_sh1.UsedRange.Offset(1, 0).Copy
dest_sh.Cells(dest_sh.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

source_sh2.UsedRange.AutoFilter 6, ""
source_sh2.UsedRange.Offset(1, 0).Copy
dest_sh.Cells(dest_sh.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

source_sh3.UsedRange.AutoFilter 6, ""
source_sh3.UsedRange.Offset(1, 0).Copy
dest_sh.Cells(dest_sh.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

source_wb.Close False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
I'm getting the attached message upon running the code. Why is that and how to stop it. Further, my code is not that efficient I think, so how to make it more efficient?

Also, is using usedrange a good idea in this case as it selecting a lot of blank cell data while copying.

Please help.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.

Hi,

Check below code:

VBA Code: 
Sub copyData()
Dim source As Workbook
Dim dest As Workbook
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim lastRow As Integer, sheetnum As Integer, rowno As Integer

Set dest = ThisWorkbook
Set source = Workbooks.Open(ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & "storeData.xlsx")
source.Activate

For sheetnum = 1 To source.Sheets.Count
    Set sh = source.Sheets(sheetnum)
    For rowno = 2 To sh.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        lastRow = dest.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        If sh.Range("F" & rowno) = "" Then
            sh.Range(rowno & ":" & rowno).Copy
            dest.Activate
            Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(lastRow + 1, "A").Select
            ActiveSheet.Paste
        End If
    Next
Next
End Sub

data

and the storedata.xlsx file is kept open which is not what I want. I want the storedata.xlsx file to get automatically closed without saving any changes (its data must not change).
Also as you are copying the entire row(I think) the formatting of the other cells and their value if present may be in a different column is showing in the result which I don't want.
The columns to copy will be from column A to E.
Your code is pretty close though.
Thanks

Hi
VBA Code: 
Sub copyData()
    Dim src As Workbook
    Dim dest As Workbook
    Dim i As Integer
    Set dest = ThisWorkbook
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Set src = Workbooks.Open(ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & "storeData.xlsx")
    With src
        For i = 1 To .Sheets.Count
            With .Sheets(i).Range("a1")
                .AutoFilter
                .AutoFilter Field:=6, Criteria1:="="
                .CurrentRegion.Offset(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy dest.Sheets("Data").Range("A" & dest.Sheets("Data").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row + 1)
            End With
        Next
    End With
    src.Close False
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

HI mohadin, your code also has the same problem i.e. if I add additional columns in any/all of the sheets of storedata.xlsx I still want to get the data from only column A to column E.

Hope you understood it.:)

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Below code is with required changes.

VBA Code: 
Sub copyData()
Dim source As Workbook
Dim dest As Workbook
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim lastRow As Integer, sheetnum As Integer, rowno As Integer

Set dest = ThisWorkbook
Set source = Workbooks.Open(ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & "storeData.xlsx")
source.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For sheetnum = 1 To source.Sheets.Count
    Set sh = source.Sheets(sheetnum)
    For rowno = 2 To sh.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        lastRow = dest.Sheets("data").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
        If sh.Range("F" & rowno) = "" Then
            sh.Range("A" & rowno & ":E" & rowno).Copy
            dest.Activate
            Sheets("data").Cells(lastRow + 1, "A").Select
            ActiveSheet.Paste
        End If
    Next
Next

source.Close
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

            End With
        Next
