I have a tool to calculate quotes which is in a table and can have x number of rows. Once the quote is made, I have a button to copy each row to a costing tool, which is just another sheet. Once this is done, further details can be added to the quote to finalise it. I then select a button to send it to the correct allocation sheet. These sheets are separate financial year documents and are used to keep record of the quotes.

I have code successfully does all the above tasks but it requires the allocation sheets to be open. The quote may have services that are relating to the next 10 years and my supervisor doesn't want to need to have all the allocation sheets open for that time. Therefore, I want to add code into the copy procedure that will open the workbook, copy in the row from the data then close it.

I am still learning to code so I have had to rely a lot on others.

I thought that I could add code in just before and after the copy code is run. The problem is that it is giving me all kinds of strange errors when I do this.

The variable DocYearName refers a column for the row that contains the full file name of where the quote needs to go.
The variable Combo refers to sheet within DocYearName that the quote needs to go on.

Code:
        For Each tblrow In tbl.ListRows
            Combo = tblrow.Range.Cells(1, 26).Value
                If tblrow.Range.Cells(1, 6).Value = "Ang Wes" Then
                    DocYearName = tblrow.Range.Cells(1, 37).Value
                Else
                    DocYearName = tblrow.Range.Cells(1, 36).Value
                End If


            
            Set wsDst = Workbooks(DocYearName).Worksheets(Combo)
                With wsDst
                    'To open the workbook stored in the variable DocYearName
                    Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & DocYearName
                    'This copies the first 10 columns, i.e. A:J, of the  current row of the table to column A in the destination sheet.
                    tblrow.Range.Resize(, 10).Copy
                    'This pastes in the figures in the first 10 columns starting in column A
                    .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).PasteSpecial xlPasteFormulasAndNumberFormats
                    'Overwrites the numbers pasted to column I with a formula
                    .Range("I" & .Range("I" &  .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Formula =  "=IF(R[1]C[-4]=""*Activities"",0,RC[-1]*0.1)"
                    'Overwrites the numbers pasted to column J with a formula
                    .Range("J" & .Range("J" &  .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row).Formula =  "=IF(R[1]C[-5]=""*Activities"",RC[-2],RC[-1]+RC[-2])"
                    ActiveWorkbook.Close

                                    
                End With
        Next tblrow

So it all works except when I added in the open and close lines at the start and end of the last chunk of code. The files will be all stored in the same directory.

Could someone help me please?
 
Not sure what has happened but it appears to be working now.

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
