Question

I would like to learn how to copy cells from an already open excel workbook to another file. I don’t just want a code, I want a tutorial. The problem I have is Google is only giving me forums. Can someone suggest a good tutorial with a video? A hyper link would help.

Option Explicit

Sub CopyFromOpenWorkbookToAnother()

'declare variables
Dim wkbCopy as Workbook, wkbPaste as Workbook
Dim wksCopy as Worksheet, wksPaste as Worksheet
Dim rngCopy as Range

'set variables -> change the names to suit your data needs
Set wkbCopy = Workbooks("WorkbookToCopyFrom.xls")
Set wkbPaste = Workbooks("WorkbookToCopyTo.xls")
Set wksCopy = wkbCopy.Sheets("SheetToCopy")
Set wksPaste = wkbPaste.Sheets("SheetToPaste")

Set rngCopy = wksCopy.Range("A1:A10") 'adjust to whatever range you need
rngCopy.Copy wksPaste.Range("A1") 'adjust to wherever you want to paste

End Sub
