   2. You’re absolutely right. It is a waste of your time and energy to hunt up after someone when thr;1#82&7yee not even polite to you. It’s amazing how some people will be in a serious relationship with someone as discourteous and rude like that. But I sometimes give the impression that I am snobby. I’m shy and usually can’t think of much to say in the first couple of encounters. Takes me a while to warm up. I wonder if that’s why I have so many extroverted friends …

   If Cells(X, 2) = “Hero” Then
   Worksheets(“Sheet2”).Rows(X).Copy
   Worksheets(“Sheet3”).Activate
   erow = Sheet3.Cells(Row.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row

   1. Just replace 6th last statement and write

      Activesheet.Past Destination:=Worksheet(“Sheet3”).Row(erow,1)

      Now it will work

      Thanks Dinesh Sir for giving us an opportunity to learn VBA .

4. Hi Dinesh

   I am using the code below to copy and paste data from multiple worksheets into a master file
   It works just fine except it only copies over the values of the cells rather than all the formats i.e. cell pattern/colour, can you help?

   Sub OpenFiles()
   Dim MyFolder As String
   Dim MyFile As String
   Dim erow

   MyFolder = “C:\Users\Zoe\Desktop\ZAFiles2 – Working Copies1 – VJC”
   MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & “\*.xlsx”)

   Do While MyFile “”

   Workbooks.Open Filename:=MyFolder & “\” & MyFile

   Sheets(“Posts”).Select
   Range(“A2:AB28”).Select
   Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
   Selection.Copy
   Application.DisplayAlerts = False
   ActiveWorkbook.Close

   erow = Range(“A” & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Select
   ActiveSheet.Paste
   Application.CutCopyMode = False
   MyFile = Dir
   Loop
   End Sub

6. Hi. I want to do a search of multiple values and paste it on the new worksheet.

   Example:

   Instead of just Car, I want to search for Ship, Boat, or even more than 1 value (Ship, Boat or Ship, Car or Car, Boat ) with a comma (,) in between.

   How do search for part of the word and not the exact word?

7. I have a workbook with information tracking profit loss. The worksheet has 15 columns and the data starts in A7. There are column headers. I need to copy and paste all of the information to a new spreadsheet for reporting. I’m trying to write a macro so the report will run and take all of the information listed and put into a new workbook.

   The issue that I may run into is the entries are tracked by booking numbers. The numbers can be listed numberous time if there are multiple errors in a booking so there will be duplicates. But they run these reports weekly and I don’t want the data to be exported multiple times.

   There are separate tabs for each month. I would like it to stay that way.

9. Thanks for this, it was very useful.

   Can i ask how you would include paste special rather than just paste. Specifically im looking for values and number formats. I have tried to amend it but doesn’t seem to like anyway i try.

   Thanks

10. Thank you for some very interesting and informative videos.

    Unfortunately, when I cut and paste the above code into an Excel 2016 Module in an effort to duplicate your video training, I get an “out of range” error at this line:

    Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Activate

    I have not been able to figure out a solution. Can you help with this.

11. Hello,
    Your videos are very helpful! thanks for taking the time.
    I am trying to write a similar code, however I’d like the “search criteria” to be a variable in sheet2.

    using your example above, I will push the headers to row2, and will have an empty cell A1 in sheet2 and a button with command. when inputting the word “car” into A1 in sheet2, it will go to Sheet1, search for entries in column B in Sheet1, copy the whole row, and paste it to the next available row in Sheet2.
    Then, if I go back to Sheet2, and type in the word “Seats” in cell A1, it will replace the rows with the new search results, meaning, the full rows from Sheet1.
    most importantly, I just want to use this as a “filter” so I do not want the information in Sheet1 to be deleted at any point.
    is that possible?
    would you please assist?

14. Hello Sir,
    Your site is very helpful for me, a beginner in VBA . I just finished a user-form to enter data of a census into a spreadsheet. I´m very satisfied with the product I have obtained by looking your lessons. I want to be able to copy a range of cells A to D of the last row containing data and paste it in the next empty row. It has been very tough for me to get the correct code. My MS Excel version is 2010. Do you have any video containing that specific code? Thanks for your help.
