How do I copy a sheet to multiple other workbooks?

Anna_Annikins 

You can use a combination of VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to automate the process of copying a sheet to multiple workbooks. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Backup your workbooks:

• Before running any VBA code, it's always a good practice to backup your workbooks to prevent accidental data loss.

2. Open the workbook containing the sheet you want to copy:

• This will be your source workbook.

3. Press ALT + F11 to open the VBA editor:

• In the VBA editor, right-click on "VBAProject (YourWorkbookName)" in the left pane.
• Choose "Insert" -> "Module" to insert a new module.

4. Copy and paste the following VBA code into the module:

Sub CopySheetToOtherWorkbooks()
    Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet
    Dim TargetWorkbook As Workbook
    Dim TargetPath As String
    Dim TargetWorkbookName As String
    
    ' Set the source sheet
    Set SourceSheet = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("YourSheetName") ' Replace "YourSheetName" with the actual sheet name
    
    ' Specify the target path where other workbooks are located
    TargetPath = "C:\Path\To\Your\Workbooks\" ' Replace with the actual path
    
    ' Loop through all workbooks in the target path
    TargetWorkbookName = Dir(TargetPath & "*.xlsx")
    Do While TargetWorkbookName <> ""
        ' Open the target workbook
        Set TargetWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(TargetPath & TargetWorkbookName)
        
        ' Copy the source sheet to the target workbook
        SourceSheet.Copy Before:=TargetWorkbook.Sheets(1)
        
        ' Close and save changes to the target workbook
        TargetWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
        
        ' Move to the next workbook
        TargetWorkbookName = Dir
    Loop
End Sub

• Replace "YourSheetName" with the name of the sheet you want to copy.
• Replace "C:\Path\To\Your\Workbooks" with the actual path where your other workbooks are located.

5. Run the VBA code:

• Close the VBA editor and press ALT + F8 to open the "Macro" dialog.
• Select "CopySheetToOtherWorkbooks" and click "Run."

This VBA code will loop through all workbooks in the specified path and copy the specified sheet from the source workbook to each of them. Make sure that the sheet name matches exactly, and the target path is correct.

Note: VBA needs to be enabled in your Excel settings for this to work. Additionally, depending on your security settings, you might need to adjust macro settings to allow running VBA code.  The text, steps and the code were created with the help of AI.
