I am trying to sum values from my original worksheet in specific cells in my newly created worksheet, which has a template to fill out.
When I used macro recorder, it references the worksheet name, which would not be useful as the worksheet name changes depending on which worksheet I am working in when I run the code.
So I tried changing the worksheet name to a variable "XCXX".
The first argument works so I thought everything was okay, however, on the second argument, it keeps trying to open a file, when it should simply go back to XCXX and pull the values.
Is it a problem with my activesheet changing?
Sub AddWorkbooks()
Dim ChangeOrder As Range
Dim XCXX As Worksheet
Dim CoForm As Worksheet
Set XCXX = ActiveSheet
Set CoForm = Worksheets("+CO Form+")
'Set wbNew = Workbooks.Add
CoForm.Copy After:=Sheets(ActiveSheet.Index)
With CoForm
Range("A6:D6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = XCXX.Range("D2").Value
Range("AD81").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "='XCXX'!R[-64]C[-24]+'XCXX'!R[-64]C[-23]"
End With
End Sub
>Solution :
This should be close:
Sub AddWorkbooks()
Dim ChangeOrder As Range
Dim XCXX As Worksheet, wb As Workbook
Dim CoForm As Worksheet, CoFormCopy As Worksheet
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
Set XCXX = ActiveSheet
Set CoForm = wb.Worksheets("+CO Form+")
CoForm.Copy After:=XCXX
Set CoFormCopy = XCXX.Next 'the copy of "+CO Form+"
With CoFormCopy 'assuming you want to work with the copy?
.Range("A6:D6").Value = XCXX.Range("D2").Value
.Range("AD81").FormulaR1C1 = _
Replace("='<nm>'!R[-64]C[-24]+'<nm>'!R[-64]C[-23]", "<nm>", XCXX.Name)
End With
End Sub
Note when using With you need to use a period to link (eg) Range() with the object used in the With statement, otherwise it defaults to the active sheet.
Also generally there’s no need to select a range to do something with it.
