Hi, I have a macro that allows user to select a file and copy a range from a selected worksheet from this file into a worksheet where the macro is actioned.
When actioned the range from the selected file is copied but its not pasted into the worksheet where the macro is actioned.

The macro needs to copy the range (A2:B100) in Sheet 1 of a selected workbook into Sheet 2 starting from A2 of the workbook where the Macro is actioned.

I cannot find what is wrong. Im pretty useless with VBA coding.

Please can you help me make it work with the correct code? Much appreciated

Sub GG()

Set masterBook = ActiveWorkbook

sFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(Title:="Choose file", MultiSelect:=False)

If sFileName = False Then
MsgBox "Please select a file"
Exit Sub
End If


Set otherbook2 = Workbooks.Open(sFileName)
Sheets("sheet1").Select
Range("A2:B100").Copy


masterBook.Activate
Sheets("sheet2").Select
Range("A2").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False


otherbook2.Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub

Sub CloseWorkbook()

otherbook2.Close SaveChanges:=False ' <<< this will not work; Object variable "otherBook2" is out of scope

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
