Question

copy the data from a worksheet to another worksheet

Asked by: brandonsinger

Hi,

I wanna ask how to copy all the data that from a worksheet to another worksheet in the same workbook. The new worksheet has to be created first before the data can copy into it. Can anybody help me?

Another question is, in the VBE, I have many functions in there and forms of a number of different macros. Each macro perform different task by clicking different shortcut key. In the workbook, I'll go to View>Customize... and in to toolbars frame, I wanna create a new toolbar, so I click New... and name the new toolbar. So what I want to ask is how to associate the new toolbar to my macros so that I can choose the function under the toolbar instead of clicking the shortcut key to perform a task(I have come into a file and see this example, but I don't have any idea about it).

Dave,

I not quite understand for this line"ActiveSheet.Copy before:=Sheets(ActiveSheet.Index)" mean.
Which is the source and which is the output?

brandonsinger.

For Q(1), you can right-click the tab of the worksheet you are copying and click 'Move or copy' - provided that it is ok to both create the worksheet and copy data at the same time.

For Q(2), after you have created a new toolbar, there should be a small window that pops up. Drag that window onto your toolbar into the position that you want it. Then click on the 'Commands' tab in the View>Toolbars>Customize menu. Scroll down to 'Macros' or 'New Menu' in the left pane. You will then see a smiley face icon. Drag this into the toolbar that you have just created and close the Customize menu.

To assign a macro to this button, click on the smiley face in your menu. A box will pop up with all your macros and you can choose one. To change the icon on the button, right click on it and go to customize, right click on it again and chose "Edit icon image...".

If you need any more help, let me know.

Hi Dave,

I had try to change to like this(I want to change the new sheet's name):

Sub CopySheet(choiceselect)

If choiceselect = 1 Then
    sheetname = "average"
ElseIf choicesheet = 2 Then
    sheetname = "maximum"
ElseIf choiceselect = 3 Then
    sheetname = "minimum"
End If

ActiveSheet.Copy after:=Sheets(ActiveSheet.Index)
ActiveSheet.name = "sheetname"
End Sub

but the sheet name is not I want. Whrn i exclude the  " " mark, it gives me an error..

 

by: brettdjPosted on 2003-08-21 at 18:38:12ID: 9200078

Hi talkingtang

This code says

Take the activesheet, make a duplicate copy in a new sheet, then place the new sheet one sheet before the orginal sheet.
It is the VBE equivalent of Move and Copy

Cheers

Dave

Take the quotes out and it should work. This worked for me - be careful that a sheet with the names you want does not already exist.

Sub test()
Call CopySheet(1)
End Sub

Sub CopySheet(choiceselect)
If choiceselect = 1 Then
   sheetname = "average"
ElseIf choicesheet = 2 Then
   sheetname = "maximum"
ElseIf choiceselect = 3 Then
   sheetname = "minimum"
End If

ActiveSheet.Copy after:=Sheets(ActiveSheet.Index)
ActiveSheet.Name = sheetname
End Sub

Shellyness,

In the example I had came into, I think it use the custom menu item, not the custom button(the smiley face). In the example, there is a arrow that in the menu item that the user can drag down the arrow and select the function to perform a task. The menu item is consist of many functions(macro) where user can shoose. According to your description, it can only perform one task, isn't it?, or I not sure about it.

cheers

To create your own drop down menu, choose the 'New menu' option from the left hand pane of the customize menu. You can then insert as many smiley faces into this menu from the 'macro' option as you want, and assign macros in the same way as if it was just a single button.
