Merge Worksheets and Keep Format

[Mark Jackson]

Hello,

I am using this macro to merge worksheets into one master worksheet.

Sub CopyFromWorksheets()
Dim wrk As Workbook 'Workbook object - Always good to work with object
variables
Dim sht As Worksheet 'Object for handling worksheets in loop
Dim trg As Worksheet 'Master Worksheet
Dim rng As Range 'Range object
Dim colCount As Integer 'Column count in tables in the worksheets

Set wrk = ActiveWorkbook 'Working in active workbook

For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets
If sht.Name = "Master" Then
MsgBox "There is a worksheet called as 'Master'." & vbCrLf & _
"Please remove or rename this worksheet since 'Master' would be"
& _
"the name of the result worksheet of this process.", vbOKOnly +
vbExclamation, "Error"
Exit Sub
End If
Next sht

'We don't want screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Add new worksheet as the last worksheet
Set trg = wrk.Worksheets.Add(After:=wrk.Worksheets(wrk.Worksheets.Count))
'Rename the new worksheet
trg.Name = "Master"
'Get column headers from the first worksheet
'Column count first
Set sht = wrk.Worksheets(1)
colCount = sht.Cells(1, 255).End(xlToLeft).Column
'Now retrieve headers, no copy&paste needed
With trg.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount)
.Value = sht.Cells(1, 1).Resize(1, colCount).Value
'Set font as bold
.Font.Bold = True
End With

'We can start loop
For Each sht In wrk.Worksheets
'If worksheet in loop is the last one, stop execution (it is Master
worksheet)
If sht.Index = wrk.Worksheets.Count Then
Exit For
End If
'Data range in worksheet - starts from second row as first rows are
the header rows in all worksheets
Set rng = sht.Range(sht.Cells(2, 1), sht.Cells(65536,
1).End(xlUp).Resize(, colCount))
'Put data into the Master worksheet
trg.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Resize(rng.Rows.Count,
rng.Columns.Count).Value = rng.Value
Next sht
'Fit the columns in Master worksheet
trg.Columns.AutoFit

'Screen updating should be activated
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

This works great. I have one question, is it possible to keep the same
format on the master worksheet that I have on the worksheets that I am
merging? The headers are the same, but the column width and the boarder
under the headers are not. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

You will have to rewrite the macro to select the range, copy the data and
use Paste Special to retain the formatting. this will be slower but will
retain the formatting

i.e. Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlAll

Thanks for your help. I have another question in regard to merging
worksheets. Is it possible to tweak the macro that I am currently using to
overwrite the master worksheet? Right now it says, "There is a worksheet
called as 'Master'." I need to delete the master worksheet in order to merge
the worksheets again. Thanks again for your help.
