vba code select page, hide columns and filter values

[DanielFran]

Hi,

My objective is to select a worksheet which has several columns, and I need to filter a specific column for true values; then i need to copy some columns (not all), therefore I am hiding these and paste it into another worksheet.

The recorded macro i have does the job but it sometimes selects the wrong worksheet.

The macro I have is the following:

Sub ActiveItem()
'
' ActiveItem Macro
'


Range("B4:I5").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B4").Select
Workbooks.Open Filename:="H:\Client Project\Employee Data.xlsx"
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 30
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 29
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 28
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 27
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 26
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 25
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 24
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 23
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 22
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 21
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 20
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 19
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 18
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 17
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 16
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 15
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 14
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 13
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 11
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 9
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 8
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 7
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 6
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 5
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 4
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 3
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 2
ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 1
Columns("F:Y").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Columns("AA:AE").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ActiveSheet.ListObjects("fEmployee").Range.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:= _
"TRUE"
Columns("E:E").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Range("B2:AI6").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("Data Operations.xlsm").Activate
Range("B4").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Range("B2").Select
Windows("Employee Data.xlsx").Activate
ActiveWindow.Close
Range("B2").Select
End Sub

What are the sheet names?

Hi Fluff,

1)The first workbook is "Data Operation" and sheet is "TRUE" that clear contents
2)The second workbook that opens is Workbooks.Open Filename:="H:\Client Project\Employee Data.xlsx" and worksheet is "Employee" where the hide columns and autofilter happens
3)The third workbook is "Data Operation" and sheet is "TRUE" and where all the data from the 2nd worksheet is copied and to be pasted here

How about

Sub ActiveItem()
   Dim Wbk As Workbook
   Dim Tws As Worksheet, Ews As Worksheet
   
   Set Tws = Sheets("True")

   Tws.Range("B4", Tws.Range("B" & Rows.count).End(xlUp)).Resize(, 8).ClearContents
   Set Wbk = Workbooks.Open("H:\Client Project\Employee Data.xlsx")
   Set Ews = Wbk.Sheets("Employee")
   Ews.Columns("F:Y").Hidden = True
   Ews.Columns("AA:AE").Hidden = True
   Ews.ListObjects("fEmployee").Range.AutoFilter Field:=4, Criteria1:="TRUE"
   Ews.Columns("E:E").Hidden = True
   Ews.Range("B2", Ews.Range("B" & Rows.count).End(xlUp)).Resize(, 34).Copy
   Tws.Range("B4").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
      :=False, Transpose:=False
   Wbk.Close False
   
End Sub
