Set wsCopy = Workbooks(Sheets("SHEET2").Range("A10").Value).Worksheets("sheet2")
Set wsDest = Workbooks(Sheets("SHEET2").Range("A19").Value).Worksheets("Rework")

These are not correct but the closest i got. im going to be copying from one workbook to another, i don't want just a static location i want it to pick from a range that will change depending on selection.

can anyone suggest the code i need to use?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
In what way is the code wrong? What is in A10 and A19 on Sheet2?

A10 is the active sheet name = PRICE.XLSM
A19 Is the name of the destination paste workbook (this will change depending on selection)

i use this further up my code to save the sheet which works. Workbooks(Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A10").Value).Save

its okay, its because when I'm opening different workbooks using the code its looking on the active workbook for that range and not the initial one.

so these are actually correct. The issue I'm having is because I'm searching in a specific range on a workbook to pull information from. When another workbook opens it cant locate the ranges I've stated.

You need to specify the workbook for Sheets("Sheet2"). Is it the one with the code in?

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Workbooks.Open (Sheets("sheet2").Range("A13").Value)
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

fixed with this code

Thanks for your help mate i think I've sorted it. i dont want to have the workbook name in the code it needs to pull it from ranges, i need to use this code on 100s of workbooks so just want it all choosing from ranges. so i dont have to change the code everytime.
