Macro to Copy Sheets to new workbook

K

KennyD

Found this macro by Dave Peterson and want to modify it so that I can do the
following: Select the ActiveSheets and Copy them to a new workbook - BUT I do
not want to copy the formulas. Only want to copy the values, formatting (row
height and column width), sheet names, hyperlinks. But NOT the formulas.
The formulas that do all of the lookups are pretty intense and the copies
just need to display the information in the nice pretty way I have it set up
along with the hyperlinks between the sheets. At any rate, here's the
original macro:

Option explicit
sub NewWorksheet
dim wks as worksheet

for each wks in activewindow.selectedsheets
wks.copy 'to a new workbook
with activesheet
.parent.saveas filename:="C:\temp\" & .name & ".xls", _
fileformat:=xlworkbooknormal
.parent.close savechanges:=false
end with
next wks
end sub

Funny thing, Ron, is that i just found your website from another post, and
was actually implementing your code. However, I don't know how to adjust.
Specifically, I would like to export all of the sheets into 1 workbook. Your
code exports them all to individual workbooks. Additionally, I would like to
specify the folder and name of the workbook before I save it. How can I
adjust your code to make that happen? Thanks.

Maybe you could just copy|paste special|values, too.

(Untested, uncompiled)
Option explicit
sub NewWorksheet()
dim wks as worksheet

for each wks in activewindow.selectedsheets
wks.copy 'to a new workbook
with activesheet
.cells.copy
.cells.pastespecial paste:=xlpastevalues
.parent.saveas filename:="C:\temp\" & .name & ".xls", _
fileformat:=xlworkbooknormal
.parent.close savechanges:=false
end with
next wks
end sub

Try it this way

Option Explicit
Sub NewWorksheet()
Dim wks As Worksheet
For Each wks In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
With wks
.Cells.Value = Cells.Value
.Copy 'to a new workbook
.Parent.SaveAs Filename:="C:\temp\" & .Name & ".xls", _
FileFormat:=xlWorkbookNormal
ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
End With
Next wks
ActiveWindow.Close savechanges:=False
End Sub

That is not what the code Dave posted or my code example do

Please give more info

I have a workbook that I have several macro's in, along with some large data
files. Two of the macros create new sheets within this same workbook and
then creates a summary sheet within this same workbook. I need to take the
newly created sheets and summary sheet and copy them to a single new
workbook, preferrably with the same sheet names, formatting, hyperlinks, but
NOT the formulas.

Your macro copies the selected sheets each to their own workbook. I can use
that macro if there is a macro that I can use to then bring all the workbooks
into a single workbook. I tried your RDBMerge add-in, but it just brings in
all of the data. I need the individual sheets brought in.

So, if there are ten sheets out of twenty that I export, I need to end up
with a single workbook that has the ten sheets in it with all of the same
formatting, hyperlinks and values but not the formulas.

These are the sheets I do NOT want in the new workbook:
"Combined"
"Month1&2_Resid_Details"
"Month3&4_Resid_Details"
"Month5&6_Resid_Details"
"Sheet_2"
"Sheet1"

The sheets that I DO want in the new workbook will always have different
names. But the first sheet will always be "SummarySheet".

I must know something else to

Do you want to have the code modules also in the new workbook
 
K

KennyD

No - don't need the code modules in the new workbook. Only need the
formatting, values and hyperlinks. No code modules or formulas.

Try this basic tester

Sub Test_Me()
Dim AWb As Workbook
Dim NewWb As Workbook
Dim N As Long
Dim Shname As Variant
Dim sh As Worksheet

Set AWb = ActiveWorkbook
Set NewWb = Workbooks.Add(1)
NewWb.Sheets(1).Name = "qwertyuiop"
AWb.Worksheets.Copy After:=NewWb.Worksheets(1)

Shname = Array("qwertyuiop", "Combined", "Month1&2_Resid_Details", _
"Month3&4_Resid_Details", "Month5&6_Resid_Details", "Sheet_2", "Sheet1")

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For N = LBound(Shname) To UBound(Shname)
On Error Resume Next
NewWb.Sheets(Shname(N)).Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Next N
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

'make values part

For Each sh In NewWb.Worksheets
sh.Select
With sh.UsedRange
.Cells.Copy
.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.Cells(1).Select
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next sh

End Sub

Oops, change it to

Sub Test_Me_2()
Dim AWb As Workbook
Dim NewWb As Workbook
Dim N As Long
Dim Shname As Variant
Dim sh As Worksheet

Set AWb = ActiveWorkbook
Set NewWb = Workbooks.Add(1)
NewWb.Sheets(1).Name = "qwertyuiop"
AWb.Worksheets.Copy After:=NewWb.Worksheets(1)

Shname = Array("qwertyuiop", "Combined", "Month1&2_Resid_Details", _
"Month3&4_Resid_Details", "Month5&6_Resid_Details", "Sheet_2", "Sheet1")

For Each sh In NewWb.Worksheets
sh.Select
With sh.UsedRange
.Cells.Copy
.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.Cells(1).Select
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next sh

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For N = LBound(Shname) To UBound(Shname)
On Error Resume Next
NewWb.Sheets(Shname(N)).Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Next N
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

I think we're almost there. It copies everything over, but then I get a
runtime error 1004. Also, it copies over the formulas too. I'm going to try
and see if I can't tweak it a little.

The error message that I get is 'Run Time Error 1004: Method 'Select' of
Object '_Worksheet' failed

Then you have hidden worksheets in your workbook

Do you want to copy them also into the new workbook ?
Or make values of the formulas if you want them in the new workbook

Ron,

I started thinking about this and found a solution based on the code that
you provided here. You attempted to copy the sheets to a new workbook, then
delete the un-needed sheets and then copy and paste the values. What I did
was to copy and paste the values on the visible sheets, and then copy the
sheets to a new workbook and delete the un-needed sheets. Now all I need to
do is include the Autosave funtion, and I'll be set.

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. Who knows, maybe
you can include this mode in your RDBMerge Add-in. :) Here is a copy of the
code.

Option Explicit

Sub ExportActiveSheets ()
Dim AWb As Workbook
Dim NewWb As Workbook
Dim N As Long
Dim Shname As Variant
Dim sh As Worksheet

'Change all cells in the worksheet to values for all visible worksheets
Set AWb = ActiveWorkbook
For Each sh In AWb.Worksheets
'If the sheet is visible then copy it on to itself
If sh.Visible = -1 Then
sh.Select
With sh.UsedRange
.Cells.Copy
.Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
.Cells.Select
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End If
Range("A1").Activate
Next sh

Set AWb = ActiveWorkbook
Set NewWb = Workbooks.Add(1)
NewWb.Sheets(1).Name = "qwertyuiop"
AWb.Worksheets.Copy After:=NewWb.Worksheets(1)

Shname = Array("qwertyuiop", "Combined", "Month1&2_Resid_Details", _
"Month3&4_Resid_Details", "Month5&6_Resid_Details", "Sheet_2", "Sheet1")

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For N = LBound(Shname) To UBound(Shname)
On Error Resume Next
NewWb.Sheets(Shname(N)).Delete
On Error GoTo 0
Next N
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub
