I would use WBN to refer to the new workbook that is created, and I would use WBT to refer to the original workbook (the T stands for “This Workbook,” the workbook in which the code resides). In this scenario, I would use WSD as the variable for the data worksheet, WSR for the report worksheet, and WSL for the lookup worksheet. The goal will be to create a brand-new workbook with a single report worksheet.
This workbook has a data worksheet and a lookup worksheet. Imagine a scenario in which the macro will be run while a certain workbook is open. It is not required, but I always begin my workbook object variables with WB and my worksheet object variables with WS. You should always declare the object variables at the top of the macro. An Object Variable can refer to an entire worksheet or a workbook or a chart or any other object in Excel. There is another type of variable in VBA that is called an Object Variable.
In the Webcast, I talked about using simple variables to hold a single number, such as FinalRow, TotalRow, FirstRow, and so on. Using Special Variables to Refer to Workbooks or Worksheets Sheets(“Balance Sheet”).Range(“G22”).Copy You can accomplish all four lines above in a single line of code: While the macro recorder always selects something before acting upon it, this is not necessary when you are writing VBA code without the macro recorder.
Workbooks(“Accounting Reports.xlsm”).Activate If you look at code generated by the macro recorder, it deals with other worksheets or workbooks by first activating the other workbook, selecting the other worksheet, and then operating on the worksheet. When you start to refer to other worksheets and workbooks, you are moving beyond the types of macros that the macro recorder provides and moving on to a powerful stage in your macro building progression.īefore showing how to solve this problem, think about how the macro recorder works. Question 3: Can You Access Information in Another Workbook with a Macro in a Different Workbook?
