I have over 200 sheets in an Excel workbook that are each formatted in a really odd way and I need to figure out how to compile all the data that I need into a single master sheet. I only need the values from certain cells and ranges (shown in the code below). I'd like the final compiled sheet to be in long-form (see attached image).
There is an attached image that is an example of the format of each sheet - it contains all the cells but does not contain any actual data. In reality, there is a lot of data - some sheets have >1000 rows.
I tried to use a function in R to read in all the sheets as separate data frames so that I could merge them but I couldn't get it to work. I then tried to use VBA, but I'm not familiar with the syntax. Here's what I came up with:
Sub Copy_Example()
Dim J As Integer
Dim s As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
Sheets(1).Select
Worksheets.Add ' add a sheet in first place
Sheets(1).Name = "Combined"
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("D9").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("A2")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("E2").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("B2")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("E3").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("C2")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("E4").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("D2")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("E5").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("E2")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("C22:C2000").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("F1")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("E22:E2000").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("G1")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("F22:F2000").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("H1")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("G22:G2000").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("I1")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("H22:H2000").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("J1")
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("I22:I2000").Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Combined").Range("K1")
End Sub
This VBA will copy and paste the correct columns and ranges into a newly created worksheet only for Sheet 2. I tried to integrate additional snippets of code so that this would run through all sheets in the workbook and paste the data below the last line previously added but I can't get it to work. I would also love to be able to add a column with the name of the sheet that the data has been copied from.
If anyone can help me with this, using either R or VBA, I would really appreciate it.
This is an example of the format of each sheet
This is an example of what I'd like the master compiled sheet to look like
Try the below code
Sub CopyToCombined()
Dim oComWS As Worksheet, oWS As Worksheet
Dim iLR As Long: iLR = 1
' Add New sheet as "Combined"
Set oComWS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
oComWS.Name = "Combined"
' Loop through all sheets in the workbook and copy details in Combined sheet
For Each oWS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If oWS.Name <> "Combined" Then
With oWS
oComWS.Range("A" & iLR).Value = .Range("A3").Value
oComWS.Range("B" & iLR).Value = .Range("B5").Value
oComWS.Range("C" & iLR).Value = .Range("C26").Value
End With
iLR = iLR + 1
End If
Next
End Sub
Above code will go through all sheets in your workbook and copy the relevant data (obviously you will have to change what you want to copy)
EDIT 1:
As per requirement, below code should update the Combined
as you requested
Sub CopyToCombined()
Dim oComWS As Worksheet, oWS As Worksheet
Dim iLR As Long: iLR = 1
Dim iC As Long
Dim aCleanArray As Variant, aMyRange As Variant, aColumn As Variant
' Add New sheet as "Combined"
Set oComWS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
oComWS.Name = "Combined"
' Set arrays
aMyRange = Array("C20:C50", "D20:D50") ' <-- Set all your ranges here (i.e. "C22:C2000", "E22:E2000", ...)
aColumn = Array("C", "D") ' <-- Set the columns here (i.e. "F", "G", ...)
' Loop through all sheets in the workbook and copy details in Combined sheet
For Each oWS In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If oWS.Name <> "Combined" Then
With oWS
oComWS.Range("A" & iLR).Value = .Range("A2").Value
oComWS.Range("B" & iLR).Value = .Range("B2").Value
For iC = LBound(aMyRange) To UBound(aMyRange)
aCleanArray = CleanUpArray(.Range(aMyRange(iC)).Value)
oComWS.Range(aColumn(iC) & iLR & ":" & aColumn(iC) & (iLR + UBound(aCleanArray))).Value = Application.Transpose(aCleanArray)
Next
End With
iLR = oComWS.Range(aColumn(0) & oComWS.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
End If
Next
End Sub
Function CleanUpArray(aIncomigArray As Variant) As Variant
Dim aTemp() As Variant
Dim iC As Long
ReDim aTemp(0 To 0)
For iC = LBound(aIncomigArray) To UBound(aIncomigArray)
If Not IsEmpty(aIncomigArray(iC, 1)) Then
aTemp(UBound(aTemp)) = aIncomigArray(iC, 1)
ReDim Preserve aTemp(UBound(aTemp) + 1)
End If
Next
ReDim Preserve aTemp(UBound(aTemp) - 1)
CleanUpArray = aTemp
End Function
Hope this helps
