Hi All,
I am in a little bit of a pickle here and would appreciate any insight or help on this.
I Create the invoices of our customers on excel which is based on the data , Like Orders, Receipts , Storage, Freight Etc.
Each of the above mentioned file has sheet for individual customer data.
I would like to Automatically Copy the data from Order file for Customer A from Column A to AE and open the invoice file for Customer A and paste the data into order data Sheet.
This needs to happen to for each customer. I am having at 30 customers now and constantly growing.
Do let me know if you require any further information to help me create the VBA for this.

To accomplish this task using VBA, you will need to write a macro that loops through each customer, opens their respective order file, copies the data from the specified range, and then pastes it into the corresponding sheet in the invoice file.
Here is a basic outline of the steps you will need to follow:
Here is a sample VBA code that demonstrates how to achieve this:
Vba code is untested, please backup your file first.
Sub CopyDataToInvoice()
Dim customerList As Variant
Dim customer As Variant
Dim orderFilePath As String
Dim invoiceFilePath As String
Dim orderWorkbook As Workbook
Dim invoiceWorkbook As Workbook
' Define the list of customers
customerList = Array("CustomerA", "CustomerB", "CustomerC") ' Add all your customers here
' Loop through each customer
For Each customer In customerList
' Define the file paths for order and invoice files
orderFilePath = "Path\to\Order\File\" & customer & "_Orders.xlsx"
invoiceFilePath = "Path\to\Invoice\File\" & customer & "_Invoice.xlsx"
' Open the order file
Set orderWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(orderFilePath)
' Copy data from columns A to AE in the order file
orderWorkbook.Sheets("SheetName").Range("A:AE").Copy
' Close the order file
orderWorkbook.Close False
' Open the invoice file
Set invoiceWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(invoiceFilePath)
' Paste the copied data into the appropriate sheet in the invoice file
invoiceWorkbook.Sheets("OrderData").Range("A1").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
' Close the invoice file
invoiceWorkbook.Close True
Next customer
End Sub
Make sure to replace "Path\to\Order\File\", "Path\to\Invoice\File\", "CustomerA", "CustomerB", "CustomerC", "SheetName", and "OrderData" with the actual paths, customer names, and sheet names in your files.
Also, ensure that you save the Excel files as macro-enabled (.xlsm) files if they contain VBA code. The text, steps and code were created with the help of AI.
