Newbie here! I have an action which I'd like to repeat, for specific workbooks or specific worksheets.
Is there a way to do it without copy and pasting the whole code for the 2nd, 3rd etc worksheets? Only the workbook and the worksheet names change. other actions (e.g. copy paste) remains the same.
Although there's a "For Each loop", but I don't know how to do it in a way that allows me to specify which worksheets exactly.
For example, I'm
- Step 1: copying data from workbook "Red" sheet "Apple". paste into output workbook.
- Repeat action. Step 2: copying data from workbook "Yellow" sheet "Banana". paste into same output workbook.
Here's my code if anyone could kindly advise. VBA newbie here thank you!
Sub CopyPastefromOtherWB()
Range("B13").Select
'Activate WB1
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:\Users\Desktop\My macro projects\Red"
Worksheets("Apple").Activate
Range("A1").Select
Do While Selection.Value <> "Mar"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Loop
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
'Activate output notebook
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:\Users\Desktop\My macro projects\OutputWB"
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("B13").PasteSpecial paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
'HERE IS WHERE THE REPEAT HAPPENS. Activate WB2
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:\Users\Desktop\My macro projects\Yellow"
Worksheets("Banana").Activate
Range("A1").Select
Do While Selection.Value <> "Mar"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
Loop
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.Copy
'Activate output notebook
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:\Users\Desktop\My macro projects\OutputWB"
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("C13").PasteSpecial paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
End Sub

Please see How to avoid using Select in Excel VBA.
Sub CopyPastefromOtherWB(ByVal FromPath As String, ByVal FromSheetName As String, ByVal TargetCell As Range)
