Range reference to select entire worksheet & dynamically link worksheet name

Hi,

I have the below code that opens and copies data from a closed workbook to the active workbook.

Code:
Sub FetchData()


    Dim src As Workbook
    
    Set src = Workbooks.Open("G:\Managers\Existing Managers\Equities\Data Management\Monthly Manager Research Notes\PA_OUTPUT\FACTSET_MANAGER_DATA.xlsx", True, True)
    
    ThisWorkbook.Activate
    
    Worksheets("holdings_data").Range("a1").Formula = src.Worksheets("00161").Range("A1").Formula
    
    src.Close
    


End Sub
I would like to change two things which I cannot figure out in the final piece of the code:

Code:
src.Worksheets("00161").Range("A1").Formula

1: Worksheets("00161"): I would like this to be dynamic, so that I can enter 00161 to a cell in my active destination workbook and change it on demand.
2: Range("A1").Formula: I would like to copy the entire used range in this worksheet.

I have failed at attempts on both of the above. Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks!
 

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.
Soemthind like this perhaps. Bear in mind that you should probably clear the target worksheet each time or you could have residual formulas in there:

Code:
Dim shName As String, src As Workbook, sh As Worksheet, addr As String

shName = "00161"
    
Set src = Workbooks.Open("G:\Managers\Existing Managers\Equities\Data Management\Monthly Manager Research Notes\PA_OUTPUT\FACTSET_MANAGER_DATA.xlsx", True, True)
Set sh = src.Sheets(shName)
addr = sh.UsedRange.Address
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("holdings_data").Range(addr).Formula = sh.Range(addr).Formula
src.Close False

Thanks Steve,

Any ideas on how I would make the "00161" dynamic and linked to a cell in the workbook?

Thanks,
Antony
