And in the second workbook the new record should be the last record(first empty row).

Please help!

Thanks for the Reply.

I want to work between the workbooks.
Copy from first workbook and paste in the 2nd workbook.

In the first workbook the data starts from column B.
I am looking for the current data (this monday ).And this record would be always the last Row with data.
When pasting in workbook2 ,This record should be inserted in the first row without any data.(But column A is always empty....so should not look for column A).

I am new to programming and writing macros.
Please Help.

Hi,

I tried the following code.It seems to be working but still have problems while pasting the row.
Note:I tried working between the sheets in the same workbook.
Please help.Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Here is my code.

Sub FindLastCell()
Dim LastCell As Range
Dim EmptyCell As Range
With ActiveSheet
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Set LastCell = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp)
If IsEmpty(LastCell) Then
Rows(LastCell).Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
End If

'Rows("262:262").Select
'Application.CutCopyMode = False
'Selection.Copy
'Sheets("Sheet2").Select
'Rows("26:26").Select
'ActiveSheet.Paste

Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Set EmptyCell = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp)

'If IsEmpty(EmptyCell) Then
'Do nothing
'Else
Set EmptyCell = EmptyCell.Offset(1, 0)

Maybe this will get you in the right direction.

Sub TransferData()

'This is just a workbook I used on my computer. Change to suit your file name.
'Open the workbook you want to copy from.
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\Users\family\Desktop\Excel Files\AutoFill.xls"

Set c = Workbooks("AutoFill").Sheets("Sheet1") 'This is the workbook you want to copy the data from.
Set d = Workbooks("Copy from Different Workbooks").Sheets("Sheet1") 'This is the destination workbook.
'Change the workbook names to your own workbook names.

Dim LastRow
Dim NewRow

'In your example coding, you used column B in both workbooks to find the last row. So, that is what I used.
LastRow = c.Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row
NewRow = d.Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row

'The destination workbook has to find the last row, and then paste the data below it (the empty row).
'That is why +1 is used. Otherwise, you would write over the existing data.
d.Rows(NewRow + 1).Value = c.Rows(LastRow).Value

End Sub

Thanks a lot. It really works.

But have a problem while initially opening the workbook.
i tried not to invoke the workbook.Instead directly opened it and ran from there.It works.

I need furthur assistence with saving this file.
After I paste this new row I need to Rename the AOR Summary spreadsheet with the current Monday's date
(format: AOR Summary mm-dd -yy)
This date can be caputured from the row that we inserted.
The date is always in column E.

Please Help.

Thanks for replying.I really apprecitae all your help.

I used your code to work between two different workbooks,but I get an error.
It works great between the sheets in the same work book.But I really want to make it work between 2 different workbooks.
The errors I get is "Run time error '9':Subscriprt out of range."
At this below line of code
Set d = Workbooks("Book2.xls").Sheets("sheet2") 'This is the destination workbook

Sub Transferdata()

'This is just a workbook I used on my computer. Change to suit your file name.
'Workbooks.Open Filename:="Book1.xls"

Set c = Workbooks("Book1").Sheets("sheet1") 'This is the workbook you want to copy the data from.
Set d = Workbooks("Book2.xls").Sheets("sheet2") 'This is the destination workbook

Dim LastRow
Dim NewRow

'In your example coding, you used column B in both workbooks to find the last row. So, that is what I used.
LastRow = c.Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row
NewRow = d.Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row

'The destination workbook has to find the last row, and then paste the data below it.
'That is why +1 is used. Otherwise, you would write over the existing data.
d.Rows(NewRow + 1).Value = c.Rows(LastRow).Value

'*********NEW**********

'Acitvate the workbook you just copied the new line to.
Workbooks("Book2.xls").Sheets("sheet2").Activate

'Find the last row of your new line and get the date.
Dim GetDate
Dim MyDate
GetDate = d.Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Row
MyDate = d.Range("E" & GetDate).Value

Workbooks("Book2.xls").SaveAs Filename:="AOR Summary" & MyDate & ".xls", FileFormat:=xlWorkbookNormal

100% it will work.

Just copy all your excel files under the below mentioned path.

D:\Temp

Open new excel file copy and paste the below formula in the excel VB module .

Sub merched()
Dim SrcBook As Workbook
Dim fso As Object, f As Object, ff As Object, f1 As Object

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.Getfolder("D:\Temp\")
Set ff = f.Files

For Each f1 In ff
Set SrcBook = Workbooks.Open(f1)
Range("E8:IV" & Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Row).Copy
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1).Activate
Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).PasteSpecial
Application.CutCopyMode = False
SrcBook.Close
Next
End Sub

hi,
try this:
Range("A1:A9").Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
you can vary the range as per your worksheet.
