How can I import/copy columns based on their header name from one excel workbook to another excel workbook using macro/VBA code.
EX: Source WB
[TR]
[th width="var(--_ta-th-w)"]Column A[/th][th width="var(--_ta-th-w)"]Column B[/th][th width="var(--_ta-th-w)"]Column C[/th][th width="var(--_ta-th-w)"]Column D[/th]
[/TR]
[TR]
[td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 1[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 2[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 3[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 4[/td]
[/TR]
[TR]
[td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 5[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 6[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 7[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 8[/td]
[/TR]
Target WB
[TR]
[th width="var(--_ta-th-w)"]Column B[/th][th width="var(--_ta-th-w)"]Column D[/th]
[/TR]
[TR]
[td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell x[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell y[/td]
[/TR]
[TR]
[td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell x[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell y[/td]
[/TR]
Output should be updating Target WB with data of columns from source WB as below
[TR]
[th width="var(--_ta-th-w)"]Column B[/th][th width="var(--_ta-th-w)"]Column D[/th]
[/TR]
[TR]
[td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 2[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 4[/td]
[/TR]
[TR]
[td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 6[/td][td width="var(--_ta-td-w)"]Cell 8[/td]
[/TR]
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Welcome to the MrExcel board!

I suggest that you investigate XL2BB for providing sample data
(If you have trouble with XL2BB, review the "XL2BB Icons greyed out" link in the 'Known XL2BB issues' section near the top of the XL2BB Instructions page linked above.)
