How to copy sheets to another workbook using vba?

Someone over at Ozgrid answered a similar question. Basically, you just copy each sheet one at a time from Workbook1 to Workbook2.

Sub CopyWorkbook()

    Dim currentSheet as Worksheet
    Dim sheetIndex as Integer
    sheetIndex = 1

    For Each currentSheet in Worksheets

        Windows("SOURCE WORKBOOK").Activate 
        currentSheet.Select
        currentSheet.Copy Before:=Workbooks("TARGET WORKBOOK").Sheets(sheetIndex) 

        sheetIndex = sheetIndex + 1

    Next currentSheet

End Sub

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this code out and instead just adopted the linked example to your problem. If nothing else, it should lead you towards your intended solution.


You could saveAs xlsx. Then you will loose the macros and generate a new workbook with a little less work.

ThisWorkbook.saveas Filename:=NewFileNameWithPath, Format:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook

I was able to copy all the sheets in a workbook that had a vba app running, to a new workbook w/o the app macros, with:

ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Copy

I would like to slightly rewrite keytarhero's response:

Sub CopyWorkbook()

Dim sh as Worksheet,  wb as workbook

Set wb = workbooks("Target workbook")
For Each sh in workbooks("source workbook").Worksheets
   sh.Copy After:=wb.Sheets(wb.sheets.count) 
Next sh

End Sub

Edit: You can also build an array of sheet names and copy that at once.

Workbooks("source workbook").Worksheets(Array("sheet1","sheet2")).Copy _
         After:=wb.Sheets(wb.sheets.count)

Note: copying a sheet from an XLS? to an XLS will result into an error. The opposite works fine (XLS to XLSX)
