Hi,

Hope someone can help me out on this. I'm trying to copy several columns from 1 workbook (Source File.xls - "sheet1") to another workbook (Target File.xlsm - worksheet ("final").

I need to run a macro to copy specific columns (A, B, C, F, G) from "Source" (but omitting the last 1 row "Not req") to (a, b, c, f, g) on "Target" without overwriting the existing data.

Source File
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: left"]

I have tried some codes but it doesn't deliver what I want. My apology, don't know how to attach files.
Code:
Sub CopySource()


    Dim SourceWB As Workbook: Set SourceWB = Workbooks("Source File.xlsx")
    Dim TargetWB As Workbook: Set TargetWB = Workbooks("Target File.xlsm")
    Dim lr As Long: lr = SourceWB.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    Dim lastr As Long: lastr = TargetWB.Sheets("Final").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    
    SourceWB.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:H5000").Copy Destination:=TargetWB.Sheets("Final").Range("A" & lr)


End Sub



Thanks in advance

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
the code could be modified to
either
- allow user to navigate to correct file
or
- let VBA determine the folder based on week number provided by user
(add input box or get from cell in worksheet, requires "rule" to generate folder path)
or
- use your present method with both files open at the start


Thanks Yongle.

Still learning.. and consider a noob when coding is concern. :stickouttounge:
How I wish i can code like you guys.
